tangorines | 1 | Route 29 -> Cherrygrove

[The feed begins with a normal sight: a pokémon tinkering with the pokégear. It's a ledyba, which is strange considering how cold the weather has been these last few ~~weeks~~ days. Stranger still are its surroundings. No warm rooms for this little buggy, it's exploring the great outdoors! ...A bug-type? Wandering in the snowy outdoors? Without its trainer? From the lopsided view of the camera, the ledyba seems only steps outside of Cherrygrove City. It continues wandering until it comes towards the city's entrance.]

Ledyba. [The small pokémon hurries towards the voice and calls back with its own name. From its position on the ground, only so much of the world around it can be seen. The lower half of a young boy approaches it, his steps lithe even in thick snow. From the waist up he cannot be seen but a smile can still be heard in his voice.] Ledyba. What are you doing here?

[The pokémon and its camera hobble towards the boy, only to meet with a swift kick of his boot. The camera spirals backward and the ledyba with it.] I said go back to the old man! Get out of here, stupid!

[The boy doesn't kick it again. He kneels down beside it, his face easily seen now. He seems almost remorseful, as he reaches down to touch the ledyba. He picks up the pokémon by two of its limbs and stands up.] You know I don't like doing things like this, ledyba, but if you don't become stronger how am I supposed to have you follow me? You couldn't even fight against that rat. Maybe you're no better than bait. Is that it, ladybird?

[Ledyba shakes its head which entices a laugh from its trainer. Satisfied, Alois starts to walk back towards the city only to stop in his tracks. The pokégear was directly underfoot. With a smile, he picks it up and shuts off the feed.]

[... oho. he takes that as a challenge]

If I have to.

[chuckling~]

Then come and find me.

Cherrygrove City. [not that he can actually get there to find him, but figuring out his location wasn't difficult]

[Was that the name of the town...?] I'm not planning on staying in this ...'city' for long.

Not many people do. The next one is Violet.

[pfffff 'Violet'] And you're not in that city either. You don't plan to stop me at all, do you?

How do you know where I am? [knowing grin~]

I don't know. However, you're not in 'Violet' or 'Cherrygrove'. You would have done something by now if you were. [grins right back~]

A single incident isn't something to jump on someone for. Give your Pokemon a break, and I won't do anything.

But what if I want to see you? [coy~]

... what? [t-that came out of nowhere]

You heard me, mate. What if I want to see you~? You seem a nice enough bloke, defending the honor of insects and the like. [giggling~]

You don't mind if I pass, do you?

I won't mind. In fact, that would be just fine.

I'd rather find you on my own, mate.

[... creeeeepy, but that sounds like a challenge, and when has Kaito ever turned down a challenge]

Give it your best shot.

[Hopefully Kaito won't regret taking this challenge]

Gladly! I'll keep an eye out for you~.

[h... hopefully not]

Right.
