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.

"Hey names Dust right, what a pretty girl. I've actually never ridden a horse before but I guess it must be like a chocobo..." He isn't going to explain what a chocobo is, sorry geddoe.

Zack does walks over to geddoe and Dust and runs a gloved hand alone her muzzle, petting her. "You're a beautiful girl aren't you? I promise I'll take good care of you. We can stop for some fresh food if you see anything you like along the way, okay?"

[lightningbearer]

Look, Geddoe comes from a world with plenty of... unusual animals. He can just assume that a chocobo must be some alternative riding beast. Like the Karayan 'horses'. Or kangacorns.

Dust just snorts softly but otherwise stands there placidly.

"She might start napping if you stop for a while, just wake her up again when you want to go."

Apparently that's a thing.

[1stclasspuppy]

Well Zack isn't sure if he should take that as a good thing or an okay thing so he just pets her once more before letting his own pokemon go in their pokeballs. It's going to be a lot easier that way when riding a horse, at least he thinks so.

"Noted, any other words of advice for a first time horse rider?"

Zack isn't nervous but he doesn't want to ruin Dust in anyway for Geddoe.

[lightningbearer]

It means the Mudsdale is fine with him, really. Unlike certain other members of Geddoe's team, Dust has a fairly mellow, placid temperament.

"Hold on with your knees, not your hands."

That might apply to whatever else Zack's ridden, for all Geddoe knows, but it's worth mentioning just in case.

"And relax. If you're nervous she'll feel it in how you sit, and it can distract her."

At least, that's how it works for normal horses, so Geddoe assumes it's the same here. He's ridden before, even if not often, so it wasn't exactly an issue for him once he got the horse Pokémon.

[1stclasspuppy]

"Knees not hands and relax, got it!" Zack smiles and easily hops onto the mudsdale, feeling even taller then normal and having to look down at Geddoe now instead. He's not really nervous when he's on her but a bit excited instead.

"So before I head out think you can maybe just...make sure I'm riding okay?"

[lightningbearer]

Dust continues to stand there patiently, though she does paw at the ground a bit with one hoof. A rider on her back means going somewhere, right?

"Try walking her around."

If Zack can manage that, he'll probably be fine as long as he eases into higher speeds gradually. Not that the forest path is exactly suited to a full gallop anyway, though.

[1stclasspuppy]

At the mention of walking he does lightly tap his heels against her. It's something he knew from Chocobo riding and hoped it would work here to get her moving. To his surprise it did and she started to talk. The bump on the back of a horse was much more apparent then on a chocobo that was covered in soft feathers. His butt was going to hurt really bad after a long ride.

Zack led her around a tree and back at a sort of slow trot, not sure how to stop her so he kept her walking around Geddoe. "Sooooooo how do I get her to stop??"

[lightningbearer]

"Since she doesn't have reins right now just call out 'whoa' when you need her to stop."

Gently tugging on her mane would probably also work, but Pokémon are smart and used to being given verbal commands anyway.

[1stclasspuppy]

"Just say whoa?" He repeats and then the horse pokemon stops and he blinks a few times in confusion. Well that worked almost too easily. Geddoe really knows his pokemon well.

"Thanks bud! That really did work. Are you still sure I can borrow her?"

[lightningbearer]

Geddoe also trained her, so of course he made sure she knew how to respond to the commands he was already familiar with. And much easier to do with a Pokemon than a real horse, too.

"I don't plan on going anywhere for a bit," Geddoe shrugs. He's looking forward to a proper modern shower. Maybe a good long soak in a hot bath after, too. Oh, and some beer, there'd been a terrible lack of that back in Hisui. "Just let me know when you get to Cherrygrove."

[1stclasspuppy]

"O-Okay. Thanks again for this Geddoe." He smiles and rubs the neck of the mudsdale in an affectionate way before looking ahead and then taking one more look at Geddoe.

"I'll keep her safe, promise. See you soon buddy." He gave Geddoe a salute before Zack and the borrowed pokemon were off, heading in the direction of the other town.
