Log:

Arrival/ Obsidian Fieldlands at night

It's been a wild ride since he'd arrived in this new region. At first he had felt at home in Johto and even had some buddies there like Grim and Brodoof. He was getting used to that world when he was suddenly thrown into the past. Sure, Zack had understood What Cara Liss had said but that didn't mean he liked it. He was just starting out his second chance at life and now here he was in another new world.

While he did miss his phone and other modern technology and goods {his hair gel really was sorely missed} he didn't mind being out in the wild. He'd grown up with almost nothing in the backwaters of Gongaga so this was more nostalgic of home then the other place had been.

Zack missed his buddies but luckily he had gained another buddy here. Doggo the growlithe was his buddy and he reminded Zack a lot of brodoof. Doggo would often lay at his feet or cuddle him when he was feeling sad. It was like Doggo could read his thoughts, though Zack wasn't sure if that was real or not. The jury was out on that one still. Together they had adventured around the Obsidian fieldlands, meeting other trainers every so often but usually camping out under the stars together. That was where they were currently found, huddled up under a tree. Doggo was sleeping but Zack was up and stargazing, kept up by thoughts of home and of the previous world.

Cobalt Coastlands

The coastlands were a place Zack really enjoyed. It wasn't too hot but when you laid on the beach for awhile it was warm enough to warrant a nice soak in the waters. At least he had thought that until he realized how many pokemon were in the waters. He had stopped venturing deep into the ocean after learning what lived there the hard way. Doggo wasn't even able to help him in water at all, the poor boy always waited for him patiently on the beach like the good boy he was.

Currently Zack was lounging on the beach, his growlithe laying besides him but on alert in case any other pokemon came too close and tried to bother them. He'd taken his survey corps uniform top off and was topless, only keeping the pants on for now. Doggo's tail started to wag a bit but he stayed where he was, seeing a trainer in the distance. Zack sat up, his back covered in sand and stretched a bit before getting up to survey the area around them.

Alabaster Icelands

It was cold, but with Doggo at his side he had a small furball who always generated heat. The two had trekked into the snowy fields exploring. Really it was just Zack walking in the snow with Doggo in his arms the whole time to keep them both warmer. Doggo was enjoying this and had his tongue out the entire time.

As they had explored, the duo came up upon a flock of bird pokemon that Zack obviously didn't recognize. It looked like some of the bigger birds were picking on a smaller one. Doggo whined at the scene and the two rushed in. Some of the birds (rufflets) flew off in surprise but the one that remained seemed injured in it's wing. Doggo used a fire fang on the rufflets that remained while Zack grabbed the injured Rufflet. "Hey little one, you doing okay? I'll get you some help soon I promise."

A cold wind blew as Zack brought the bird closer to his chest. He whistled for Doggo to leave the others and follow him as they ran into the wild to find any other trainer who might have some kind of healing on them.

Bolt happily basks in the attention. See, Boss? This is how it's done!

"Yeah."

Besides the whole Pokemon thing, of course, though dangerous wild monsters aren't an unfamiliar hazard, either.

Well it was blunt and to the point. He couldn't fault him for that but Zack wasn't really sure how to have a conversation with someone who didn't say much. Sephiroth had been like this in the beginning but they had to talk in order to finish their missions.

"So um...nice weather?"

His smile is a bit more reserved now, unsure of what to do so he keeps walking ahead.

silence isn't necessarily a bad thing, you know. Especially if it's companionable. That said, Geddoe can't help sighing a little at Zack's obvious awkwardness.

"If you want to talk that much, you can just talk," he points out. "Just asking questions is for when you want someone else to do the talking."

Geddoe may be perfectly fine with the quiet, but he's also quite used to listening as others ramble, too. Beats having to say a lot himself, especially if he's not in the mood.

It was almost as if Zack had imaginary ears on top of his head that deflated at the conversation. Doggo's own ears did just that and mimicked the pout forming on Zack's face.

"Sorry....I just don't really know what to talk about. I'll keep quiet." He held Doggo closer as they neared the old beached ship, a few pokemon hanging around it. Zack didn't speak again until they were close to the ship.

"Man I wonder what kind of nasty storm did this....or maybe it was a pokemon."

There's a few things Geddoe could say there. Tell him to talk about himself. Or start with answering his own questions and go from there. But he's not really feeling talkative himself at the moment, and it probably wouldn't hurt the kid to learn that not everyone always wants to chat, anyway.

On the other hand, the topic of the shipwreck does at least hold some interest.

"If it was a Pokemon, it probably wasn't an attack," he points out as he looks it over.

"Hey Geddoe do you mind watching my back for a minute? I'm gonna go explore it. Let me know if any pokemon creep up behind me okay?" Before he could get an answer, Doggo and Zack were off to explore the ship. He ran fast to the broken ship but was deceptively quiet. It was clear Zack had some military training in him.

And he's off before Geddoe can even get a word in. Not even to remind him that Bolt is still clinging to his shoulder. The Pichu doesn't seem to mind, though, happily clinging along for the ride.

So, Geddoe just sighs a bit, and glances around for someplace to sit and wait.

They are gone a few minutes before Zack's mess of black hair pops out from behind a few old pieces of wood. Doggo was put down onto the ground and instead he had a bunch of bugwort in his hands. He heads back over, Doggo carrying a bit of wood in his mouth. The pair head back to Geddoe.

"Hey! We can make stuff with this can't we?"

"Hmmm...."

Geddoe takes a moment to look over the bundle of herbs.

"Probably, but you should check with the locals first. There's some plants here that are different from other worlds."

"Oh? Should I keep it then or maybe get rid of it. They look helpful and I mean wood is always good to have...but I think Doggo wants to use it like a chew toy."He couldn't help but laugh as he watched his growlithe chew on some of the pieces of wood.

Geddoe just shrugs at that.

"It's probably fine. And the Pokemon usually don't have any problems with the stuff here."

Like the weird berries.

"Then cool, I'll keep them." He smiles as Doggo keeps eating the wood, it's tail wagging. It's only then he remembered that pichu was on his shoulder and he blinked and looked down at him. "Hey little dude, sorry did you enjoy that?" He rubbed his cute little ears.

Bolt squeaks happily at the attention, though some sparks start dancing about its cheeks. A detail that Geddoe definitely doesn't miss, whether Zack does or not.

"Careful..."

It's unclear which he's speaking to. Probably both, really.

Zack can feel the tingling of the electricity but he doesn't worry too much. He's taken worse and should be able to take what Bolt has to offer.

"Aww he's fine, aren't you buddy?"

He keeps petting him and even nuzzles Bolt's cheeks with his own. It tingles.

Well, if he gets shocked, he can't say Geddoe didn't warn him. The little mouse Pokemon apparently has a tendency to do that when excited, as Geddoe's discovered first hand.

Bolt, on the other hand, is positively basking in the attention, squeaking merrily even as those sparks start to ramp up a bit. Geddoe just watches calmly, waiting to see how well or poorly this will end. He's not the type to interfere unless it's needed.

Of course Bolt does eventually discharge and Zack get's the full force of it. His hair stands on end and his eyes widen as the shook goes through him. If it hadn't been that he's had worse in life he might have maybe fainted from the shook but it did knock him down to his knees.

His body shook a bit, unable to move for a moment as he started to get his bearings again. "Jeez...that...wow...ow that hurt.....I think it's time to go back to your trainer Bolt."

Well, that sure did just happen. The Pichu just tilts its head, making a confused squeak at Zack, but Geddoe's already moving. He leans down, reaching to gently but firmly pluck Bolt from Zack's shoulder.

Bolt, of course, wasn't quite done playing yet, so Geddoe gets another shock himself for his trouble, but at least that one's just on him. And like before, he doesn't even flinch, apparently used to this sort of thing.

"That's enough of that now," he says sternly, adjusting his hold on Bolt so that the Pichu can have a look at Zack. "If you want to play with others you need to be more careful."

The moment Bolt is off him Zack just lays down in the sand and grass mixture for a bit to recover. Doggo comes up to sniff at him and finding him okay he lays on Zack's back as Zack recovers.

"Phew...what a hit...man I'm gonna feel that for awhile..."

Between Geddoe's scolding and seeing Zack flop down like that, Bolt does seem a bit remorseful. But they're still friends right? Right??

That said, all this exertion is tiring, and once Geddoe loosens his hold Bolt just curls up in its trainer's hand. Geddoe doesn't seem to pay it much mind, beyond shifting his hold slightly so that the Pichu won't roll off in its sleep, instead turning his attention to Zack.

"You all right?"

He's not going to apologize, seeing as how he warned him, but he'll at least make sure the guy's not in need of immediate help.

"Yeah...yeah I'm fine." Zack takes a few deep breaths and then he is up and sitting cross legged in the sand. He has dirt and sand on his chest but he doesn't mind right now. His hair has some static and his a bit more poofy then usual as well.

He looked up at Geddoe though and didn't have any frown on his face, instead he was smiling. "He really is going to be a strong pokemon one day." Doggo had jumped off him when he moved and now was sitting contently in his lap. "I think I can stand in a minute...just a little outta it."

Geddoe watches Zack intently, looking for any signs of more serious injury. Generally Pokemon won't do serious harm to humans, but it still doesn't hurt to be careful. And Geddoe happens to be very familiar with the forms of damage electricity--or lightning--takes.

Fortunately, the young man seems largely unharmed. Maybe he'll be a bit sore for a while, but that's something one can live with.

"So long as it's more careful."

Being strong or powerful doesn't mean much if one can't control it. Another thing Geddoe's all too well acquainted with.

Zack's fine he's just recovering and will get up in a moment and be his usual cheerful self. He does want to go back to his tent back at base and maybe sleep for like a bit though.

"It's still a baby so I think it will be fine." He smiles and stands, wobbling a moment and putting a hand on Geddoe to keep himself up. Once he's sure he's okay he let's go and rubs at his own bare arm. "sorry...was a bit dizzier getting up then I thought."

"We'll see."

Geddoe does have every intention of training up the Pichu properly, but who knows how long it'll take to grow out of this phase. Then again, doubtless he's aware that the Pokemon in question is relatively young, given the fact that he caught another as a more dedicated fighter... and is currently still holding the sleeping Bolt cradled in his hand.

That said, Zack earns himself another scrutinizing glance. "Don't overdo it."

Seriously, Geddoe doesn't want to have to drag a full-grown man back to camp because he passed out or something.

"Yeah yeah I won't. I think maybe I'll head back to camp now with the goods. Are you going to come back too or are you going to stay here?" He picks up everything he discarded before and looks at the other with his own puppy eyes. Does he want to spend more time with Geddoe? You bet! He also wants to sleep now though and he's pretty sure Geddoe isn't the type who'd cuddle him while he rested. It's a shame cause Zack would love some cuddles right now.

Geddoe's definitely not into casual cuddling, no. Especially not with someone he only just met. But that aside...

"I'll see you back."

He is concerned about whether the guy can make it back on his own, considering. Geddoe may be used to dealing with the occasional shock, even some nasty ones, but most people aren't.
