01 - Deep Space Pokemon Action!
a. Somewhere on Route 29
[Well, after the... thrilling start that Vash had back in New Bark Town, he finds that he's ready for a bit of normalcy. Sure, the trees are a little out of the ordinary considering where he's spent most of his life, but being on the road and constantly moving? That's normal enough. Getting attacked by weird creatures? Also pretty normal! Proceeding to run from said creatures? Yeah, you get the idea.
But while Vash may be used to running away instead of fighting, his companion isn't. She knows the rules of this world, and before Vash can get too far, she's already knocked out the poor Spearow that was pursuing them.
Which is why you might come across Vash, seated up against a tree, calmly lecturing the little creature.]
Now I know you were just trying to be a good friend, but you can't go around attacking creatures like that. He was just defending his territory — nothing wrong with that.
[Sure, the Pokemon are only unconscious and will recover well enough. And yes, he's done the same in the name of self-defense. But after a century of doing his best to stay his hand, it still feels uncomfortable to lift it once more, even if these creatures don't necessarily fall within the bounds of his promise.]
b. Cherrygrove City
[Somehow, the duo manages to make their way to Cherrygrove without much issue. Yes, a few more creatures get knocked out along the way, but at least they seem to have come to an understanding about it. Which is why Vash is more than happy to reward the little Mimikyu when they finally reach civilization.]
It hardly seems fair for you to be walking around with a rag on. [Vash clutches a small tube of fabric, red not unlike his own jacket. It's safety pinned in the back to make a pseudo dress.] Now, why don't we get that peeled off and put you into something nice?
[And that is precisely when Vash reaches down to pull the Mimikyu's rag up. Will you help him? Or are you about to watch a man suffer?]
c. Network (video)
[One way or another, Vash does somehow manage to survive his encounter with the Mimikyu's true visage! Still, it's left him feeling a bit... curious. He fixes his camera on the Mimikyu as she toddles around, speaking from behind it.]
Are all of these creatures so... quirky? Mine doesn't really like to be seen without her, uh... clothes, I guess? Do they all have little traits like that, or is mine just special?

Ah - a change in environment is like to do that, isn't it? Thankfully medicine isn't very hard to come by here - the local shops should have anything you need for the errant cold.

[There was this one time on the First when he was really tired and had to go vibe out on a cliff for a while and fell asleep and he could've totally been eaten by various wildlife had his inspiration not come to wake him up.]

[He waves his hand idly, as if brushing the subject off entirely.]

Hopefully, though, you're not speaking from experience?

Ah, all I can say is that I was fully aware of the potential consequences...and when I learned of the real ones, I accepted them and forged ahead as I swore to do - as I was inspired to do. And, well, I emerged from the other side whole and, hopefully, a bit wiser?

Sounds like quite the story. Maybe one day you'll regale me with the details?
no subject
Mayhaps, if it interests you - and we happen to have time to spare.
