[5th Scene] [Video/In person for travel group (South end of route 32)]

((In Person for current travel party: Nanako, Zidane, Ritz))
[Kuja's side of camp in the evening is ... peaceful; he's found a decent-sized rock to sit on, and is fussing over Karma, grooming the fish and attacking the more ragged-looking scales with a jar of some kind of salve he'd been working on in Violet. The Feebas is starting to look more like a living fish than some kind of sad, failed necromantic experiment. Iago the Ekans is coiled up on one side of where he's sitting, while Miranda's forming a giant brown puffball with red and gold crest feathers trailing away on the other side, both asleep, and Kate...]


[Weelll, the Charmander most certainly ISN'T asleep, as quickly demonstrated by a tiny, adorable Growl directed at Kuja's pack that just moved suspiciously.]


[Within a half-second of the Growl, Miranda is awake and unpuffed and craning around to find the Charmander, while Kuja's handed the Feebas off to a sleepy and confused Ekans - although the well-practiced panic mode deflates when it's noticeable that Kate HASN'T picked a fight with something bigger/water type yet again...]


[So instead of a mad scramble, he's calmly picking up the Charmander and using a stick to lift the bag up and move it aside, uncovering -]





[One very unperturbed Trapinch that's peering up at him curiously.]


You're certainly not one I've seen before...[And it's not making any aggressive moves or fleeing like a normal wild pokémon - he kneels down by it, cautiously putting one hand out towards it... which the Trapinch basically nose-bumps.]


[After a couple curious blinks, he's looking over to the others -] Is this creature familiar to anyone? It's too tame to be wild, but I don't remember seeing it before.





((And a bit after the above/any in person threads + checking the Gear))


[The video broadcast is Kuja, in camp, holding a perfectly comfortable-looking Trapinch; his Charmander has moved up to his shoulders, peering around the back of his head suspiciously at the newcomer.]


I seem to have found a lost pokémon. According to the Gear, his name is Bahamut, and the Trainer it listed was Rydia; the name is unfamiliar to me - and I'm going to guess that this is rather far away from wherever they are. Would anyone happen to know anything?

[Well. Well. That explains why none of them could find Pokémon no. 3.]

...That girl disappeared a few days ago. If Bahamut has found his way to you, you must be the most suited to train him now.

Ah - so she was someone you knew, then? []

[paladinlost]

My daughter. She was quite looking forward to seeing him evolve.

[Disliking a comrade's Chaos-sided sibling would be rather hypocritical of him, really.]

I see... [] I'll take care to see that he gets the care he deserves - and if she does come back, that he's returned, all parties willing. []

Thank you very much. I'm certain she'll greatly appreciate it, should she return with her previous memories.

[She'd appreciate reobtaining Bahamut more than she'd appreciate Osmose, at any rate.]

One could hope - of course, I know nothing of what she has to go back to. If she does return without memory of this place, she could likely still use stronger help that would remember her.

[] If I'm here on some whim of the gods, it doesn't quite seem like a wise idea to insist on separating one's namesake from their original owner. []

Remember, yes, but perhaps not recognize. Chances are she'll return as a blossoming young lady, rather than a young girl.

Indeed. That is why I try to return the Pokémon I receive to their previous trainers, even if they must sometimes come to me once more.

I wonder how well the apparent "bond" with a Trainer works, in such a case..? []

[] And I am rather tired of having nothing but enemies.

It'd depend on a Pokémon's personality and tendency towards forgetfulness, I think. I've seen a few who'd certainly forget their trainer after a single week.

This world is generous to those who wish to start over, though it also has its own form of discrimination.
