[text | @strife] + action! intro post!
Who: Cloud Strife
Where: Network + Route 29
When: mid-November
Summary: Cloud arrives in Johto.
1. Network - text
How do you catch a Pokemon if you don't have one to battle with? Can I just throw balls at it until one of them works? Feels like I'd run out fast.
2. Action - Route 29
Fortunately, Cloud is used to trekking around in the boonies, so the three-day journey on foot from New Bark Town to Cherrygrove - traveling through a forest filled with wild Pokemon, unarmed and alone - is no big deal to him. But Cloud's never been afraid to get scrappy when he needs to, and wild places don't scare him...and, well, he's used to being alone. So none of this really bothers him as much as it might bother someone else, even when CJ insists it's time to go hunt berries and takes Cloud literally when he tells the Swablu fine, go ahead, see if I care.
Which is why, when someone runs into him on his way through the forest, they'll find a 16-year-old blond in a military uniform squaring off with a Heracross. He actually holds his own for a brief bit, fighting with a style that's part military CQC training and part tenacious cornered animal, until the Heracross manages to slip its horn under a punch, scoop Cloud up with it, and toss him into a tree.

Didn't know you could just bribe them...animals usually don't like me much. Guess I'll give it a shot, though. Thanks.

Anyway...where the starters came from. I don't know. I think someone has to be catching and preparing them all for that 'Mom' woman.
The berry harvest's wrapped up, but you should still have something you can use. Skwovet---they're the ones that look like brown squirrels---are probably the easiest to bribe. Once you have at least one on your team, it'll be easier to catch more.

Wow, creepy.
Think there's some trail mix in this bag. Squirrels should like that.
no subject
...wait, nesting? Do you have a Swablu?

It might be annoying, or not fit your aesthetic...but it probably just wants to be close to you. And it'll be powerful if you raise it well, so that was incentive to put up with it for me.

Can't believe I gotta wear a bird for a hat just to make it happy.

They're light, so it shouldn't put too much strain on your neck.
