Who: Naeva, Hunter, Varian, and anyone who happens to be along the way!
Where: Goldenrod to Ecruteak City
When: Early January, about one week
Summary: Three people make a cold winter's treck up the wooded route to Ecruteak. Shenanigans, inevitably, ensue.
Rating: PG, will warn if otherwise.
Log:
Trekking up to Ecruteak at the very beginning of the year isn't the worst decision anyone's ever made, but it's still a cold and damp decision, further affected by the whims of Sorunt. Still, new travels for a new year can be pleasant...and full of surprises.
[ooc: if you'd like to tag in and discover Naeva, Varian and Hunter along the road, please feel free! Or, if you'd like a specific toplevel made, PM one of us and we can work something out!]

Pretty much JUST south of Ecruteak, whenever they happen to get there...
Which is to say that, today, Sion's making his trip to the town on foot. Which, as it happens, is rather convenient, because one of those people looks quite familiar indeed...
"Naeva! Just arriving, I take it?"

Naeva had known, vaguely speaking, that Sion lived near Ecruteak. In fact, she'd been planning to contact him when she got there, so this seems to be just another bit of the good fortune Togetic's brought her! She will wave him down--and if Varian or Hunter are curious she'd be happy to introduce them. Remy, of course, runs right up. He doesn't know about the static. Oh no, Remy, you're gonna get paralysis--!
"Yes...we're coming up from Goldenrod."
I figure we can do split threads for intros rather than attempt to wrangle a 4-way!
Seeing as it's, well, right there and all.
And fortunately, Sion is aware of his little static problem, so he preempts the little guy with a wave and a greeting before he can get to touching distance.
"And it's good to see you as well. Have you been keeping warm?"
Sounds good to me!
She does note that he's stopped Remy. Remy has not, and is instead running happy circles around him. Well, fighting types are strong against ice, but this is a little ridiculous.
"Warm as can be expected, anyway. It's fortunate the weather's been calm, we made good time."

"I wouldn't dream of it. But it seems rather thoughtless to insist on a detour when you've already come all this way."
They can stop by the Pokemon center and rest first, and then come visit the gym. Or something like that.
"That's good to hear. Will you be staying in Ecruteak for a time, now?"
no subject
Remy has decided to go gather snow with his paws...I'm sure it's not for any mischief. Don't mind him. It's fine.
no subject
It's one of the best compromises between 'city' and 'not too big' in his personal opinion. There's a reason he and Ryner chose to live nearby, after all.
no subject
She does laugh a little, but she is eyeballing Remy's plot. Should she warn Sion? ...Naaahhhh.
no subject
Sion is also observant, and doesn't miss that watchful eye on the Riolu. Then again, it's usually pretty normal for a trainer to keep an eye on her roaming Pokémon, isn't it?
Though he might get curious enough eventually to spare a glance, himself.
arises from my grave
Remy knows this is his only shot, and so lets that snowball loose! Whether or not his aim is any good he has successfully reduced Naeva to helpless giggles, so you'll have to give her a minute to collect this rapscallion.
no subject
On the other hand, he used to have to dodge assassins back when he was a teenager.
Suffice it to say, whether Remy's aim was on point or not, Sion's quite quick to jump out of the way. Almost suspiciously so, given that the movement seems quite natural, almost a reflex, rather than an awkward dodge. Someone had to do his own fighting back before he had Pokémon to do it for him, and has apparently more or less tried to maintain those skills.
All of that said, though, he seems more amused by the whole scene than anyway.
"You know, if you're going to ambush someone, you really shouldn't yell when you strike..."
