[It's been an eventful past few days for Izuku. Not only has his group finally broken their way through the thick forest of Ilex, they're on their way to one of if not the largest city in the Johto region: Goldenrod. Boasting it's huge department store full of items likely far too expensive for him to be able to afford, but hey. He plans on at least getting a little something for each of his team members...and his travel partners too, even if he's broke afterwards. It's fine, so long as he pays Kirishima back he's okay with being broke for a while.

But traveling the last stretch of route has gotten interesting, to say the least. Namely the fact that Izuku's team has nearly totally filled out since he checked up on the network last. They have a bit of a ways to go on Route 34 before Goldenrod comes up, and while travel has been made much quicker in lieu of Pokemon to ride on, it also brings up the issue of the fact that all of his Pokemon enjoy getting some time out of their balls and, well...

Cue Izuku turning on the feed of his Gear to the tune of an Eevee, Buneary, and Rowlet all crowding in his lap at once. Thirteen the baby Duskull is latched onto his arm instead of his neck for once, visibly asleep with his face pressed into his elbow. The real camera hog though is the massive Pokemon hulking behind Izuku, basically glorming onto him from behind with copious amounts of vines just...draped all over him in the fascimile of a hug from behind. Hello, she's here too.

She being the shiny Tangrowth that scared several years off his life yesterday. Izuku looks...tired.]

I'm guessing it's something you get used to, but...taking care of Pokemon is a lot of work. I don't know how people can manage having so many...

[Famous last words, probably.]

Comments

[He shrugs his shoulders.]

I can't see how it would hurt.

[mightdoriya]

I say that like it's easy to get them back into their balls in the first place. Mighty seems to prefer being outside of his most of the time.

[neverfinishanyth]

I think I would prefer the same, were I cooped up in a tiny ball some of the time.

[mightdoriya]

Yeah...though, it must not be too bad to be in there, right? Otherwise they'd never allow it.

[neverfinishanyth]

I'd like to think the same. After all, one cannot keep a pet if it does not wish to be kept.

[mightdoriya]

Right. I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask that question either...I wonder if there are books on it that I could find....hm.

[There are so many things about this world Izuku wants to study while he's here, after all. Might as well if he's going to be here, right?]

It would be nice to have some books on Pokemon care, too.

[neverfinishanyth]

I still wonder if there is a way to take a pokeball apart and see how it works. But I imagine even that would not give us all the answers.

The books would be nice, too. Perhaps there is some kind of library that may have some?

[mightdoriya]

I don't see why not, if it's just like any other device...though it might be hard to take it apart without breaking it if you don't know what you're doing.

[Maybe he'll try himself, one of these days...he's tinkered with his own support gear in the past, though not to any extent that would be considered beyond a novice.]

I think I remember someone mentioning a library to me, but I can't remember what city...but I'll keep an eye out for it. I'll let you know when I find out what that is.

[neverfinishanyth]

Very hard, if the people who made them feel... protective over their devices.

[He knows a thing or two about trying to prevent people from stealing your ideas.]

But I will keep you, and the theoretical library, in mind.

[mightdoriya]

[Izuku seems pleased by that response. It looks like his conversation with Leo has distracted him from his current plight of not being able to hold his many Pokemon, though...maybe it's less of a plight than it first seemed. They're all being relatively calm at the moment, though maybe that's more due to the fact that everyone on his person is falling asleep. All except the Tangrowth, who seems more interested in listening in on their conversation.]

Anyway...I guess I just got a little overwhelmed, today. I think I'm okay now.

[neverfinishanyth]

I'm very glad to hear it.
