Log:




It has been quite a difficult handful of months. Joker, Henry, Timothy...so many gone in such close succession, and all who'd meant so much to her. There's a sense of emptiness that's settled, but that's a large part of why Lust and Harry have decided to take a trip to Kanto. Get out of the house, see new sights, distract themselves and give themselves time to heal. Following the odd weekend seems the perfect time to strike out.

They're taking the trip slowly, starting with picking up a badge here and there on the way to New Bark and enjoying the sights. Warping makes it a quick jaunt, but there's no need to rush once they've arrived and plenty to do in and around the towns.

Azalea

The sleepy little town is Lust's most important stop, she intends to challenge the Gym. Which of course means getting in some solid training beforehand. Anyone passing through is likely to see her in a park near the Gym with her mismatched team - and dressed in a pair of pants, which is rather unusual for the former homunculus.

She's brought her Spheal, her Houndoom, a Munna that appears to be wearing battle armor, and her Oricorio. A Clefairy cheers from the sidelines.

Violet

Aside from encouraging Harry to tackle the Gym here, Lust mostly plans on dropping by the cottage to check in on it - and Edward, if he's still there. Though she does find herself lingering in front of the Trainer School this visit. She's never bothered to look at it before, but she's also never bothered to take traditional training seriously before. Perhaps a few pointers would be a wise idea.

And of course she has to drop by and visit the monks, she always does. And always leaves with at least a few bottles of their finest offerings. Or perhaps more, she and Harry are going to be in Kanto for a while....

Cherrygrove

It's the right sort of year to linger a bit in Cherrygrove. It's hot, and the town is right on the beach. Lust has no great love for the ocean - it's so large and powerful and she isn't a very good swimmer - but she still enjoys the beach and the tame waters around the shores here. Not to mention the spa, a mud soak does wonders on a hot day.

Really, of the little towns, it's probably her favorite outside of Violet. She really ought to spend more time here - but that's what this venture is about. Getting out and traveling more, living the life of a proper Trainer. She'll be spending most of her time in the little beachside town either around the spa or lounging on the beach in her swimsuit, or window shopping barefoot down main street in sundress and scarf tied over her hair to keep the sun off.

No, he only knows Splash.

[Hence his name, Splash. Which he tends to not call him by, since Magikarp will start attempting to use the move every time he hears the word. Like now. Boone raises his arms to shield him from the water. Goddammit, Magikarp.]

Good to know he'll learn something else, though.

[Boone turns to face the Tentacool and orders Magikarp to use Splash against it. As predicted, all it does is turn the Tentacool's attention onto the fish pokemon, and Boone glances at Guttle.]

What level is he?

[He really hopes Guttle gets an attack in before the wild pokemon attacks Magikarp.]

[Boone watches as the ice ball hits the Tentacool, and the pokemon immediately seems disoriented and weak. Boone orders Magikarp to use Splash, which just causes the Tentacool to bob up and down on the little waves created, and then he throws the pokeball.

Luckily, it floats. It rocks on top of the water, the pokemon trying to free itself, before the ball clicks shut. Boone swims over and picks the ball back up, and gives Lust a little smile.]

Hey, we did it. Or, well, you did it, I guess. Thanks, Guttle.

[He still pats the Magikarp as it floats past him at least. It may only know Splash, but it tries very hard when it uses the move.]
