Fifth Vision

[hasavision]

[Well, this is somewhat familiar. Wataru is yet again walking out of a building, except this time it's the Violet City Gym instead of the Pokécenter.

Also, he is grinning from ear to ear. Getting your very first badge can do that. Similarly, his Croconaw is marching by his side, looking rather pleased with himself.

There is also no way this sudden challenge was taken up just because his fellow travelers both got their badges on their first tries before him nope.]

It looks like we really did just need to train a bit more to beat him this time! It wasn't easy, but... We still won!

[Despite his happiness at winning, a thought occurs to him and it fades a little.]

Though... has anyone else noticed that the gym leader was awful strong for the first boss? When I played the games in my world, the first gym leader was way easier than that.

This makes three people in our group who have badges now. Do you know if your cousin is battling the gym leaders, too?

[...because. He still doesn't know Ritsu very well.]

... [ Kisa shrugs apologetically. She's got no clue on that one, and Ritsu doesn't seem like the battling type at ALL. ]

You don't know either? I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, then.

[ nodding, though looking a little pleased. Does that mean they'll be sticking together? ]

[He... has no idea why she suddenly looks even happier, so um.]

...? Did I say something funny?

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

[ whoops, quickly shaking her head. ]

...

[A small headtilt. He is so confused.]

[ Noticing that, she slowly slips out her Gear, and works out a response. ]

You want to stay with us?

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

Huh...? Of course I do! I-if that's okay, at least.

[He... probably should have asked the last part first. Whoops.]

[ she doesn't even NEED to text anything. Kisa's nodding immediately. ]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

Great! Then I'll travel with you for a while longer!

[...Maybe even for the entire league, he's hoping.]

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

[ that makes her light up and give him a happy nod. Hey, she won't mind at all if he's with them for that long. ]

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

[He's pretty happy about this arrangement, too! Or at least, until...]

...You don't think Artemis or Savyna or your cousin will mind, do you?

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... [ she can't speak for them, but she's pretty sure they won't, so she tries to look reassuring. ]

[action]

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

...Well, even if they don't, we're taking the same path anyway. It would be hard to avoid traveling together even if I tried.

[action]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

[ she thinks this through, then nods. He's got a point.

... But she's happier that he's with them. ]

Heheh. I guess I'll be asking around to make sure it's okay. I don't think there will be any problems, but if there are, I'll just have to keep up with you from outside the group.
