[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.

I thought the berries were just for Pokemon...I'll have to read it more carefully. Uh...does nobody eat meat here? Or are there animals that aren't Pokemon for hunting?
no subject
We definitely still eat meat! I would die if we didn't! But you'll have to wait until you get to civilization for it. Until then you'll have to forage and rely on what Mom gave you until then. It sucks! There's no animals but Pokemon around here.
no subject
Wait...so people eat meat, but we can't hunt Pokemon, but...there's no animals but Pokemon?? I don't get it.
no subject
I mean I guess you could TRY... But I don't ask where they get the meat from man. It doesn't say on the packages either. As long as it looks and taste like meat that's all I gotta know!
no subject
Do you have a Pokemon you ride on, too?
no subject
Yeah I have a couple! You can have ones to fly you or get across ground or surf over the water. The one I usually use for flying is a weird Dragon type too! But she looks like a bat instead of a bird.
no subject
You ride on a huge bat? That's nuts. This place is so weird.
no subject
Did you show up by yourself or do you have a friend to go with you?
