[ACTION for Route 29]


<sub>[With a gritted-teeth groan, Wrath sets aside the PokeGear and presses both hands to his temples.]

[He's been walking west from New Bark with his new Pokemon partner for about five hours. And while his memories of once being human here are growing clearer by the minute, he doesn't remember it ever being quite like this. His head is throbbing and the heat is unbearable.]

[And there's no air-conditioned buildings or shady storefronts to duck into like there always had been in the Goldenrod City (or "the yellow town", as he always used to think of it).]

[At least there's trees, which is what he's finally opted for now that the sun is high in the sky and the thought of taking another step is about as appealing as sticking his head in a wasp's nest. Laying spread-eagled on the grass under the shade of a big maple is at least cooler... but it hasn't stopped the banging pains in his head.]

[Sitting next to him is both the (thus far unexplored) complimentary rucksack from "Mom", and his starter: a little Cubone, who's been watching him a little worriedly. Said Cubone is the one who pulled the PokeGear out of a pocket on the backpack and helpfully pointed out the internet search engine (prior to being assigned to his very! first! trainer!!!!! (exciting!) he had been cared for by Elm's various lab assistants, and had seen them look things up online for research regularly!), but it didn't seem like the search had been fruitful.]</sub>

"Bone?"

<sub>[Wrath cracks open one eye, grimacing-- his partner has started to rummage through the backpack, pulling out packets of trailmix and holding them up expectantly.]

[But he doesn't feel hungry-- he feels gross. :(]</sub>

You can have it...

<sub>[He's just gonna fold an arm over his face and lay there like a corpse for a bit.]




[IDIOT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HE'S JUST DEHYDRATED.]</sub>

<sub>[HUMANS DEFINITELY NEED FOOD MORE OFTEN THAN THAT.]

[Wrath, however, was not a human until about five hours ago.]

[He sees no need to mention this.]</sub>

ther is som food in the back pack

i donot feel hungre however

<sub>[He knows what your basic hunger feels like. However, he is not familiar with the many varied awful ways your body can wind up feeling in response to being hungry.]

[His first go around, he was an enthusiastic snacker who never let the hunger pangs go unsated for long.]</sub>

[nectarofknowledge]

Hunger can manifest in different ways depending on how long the average body goes without proper consumption.

In other words, just humor me and eat it anyway.

_{[SIIIIIGH...]}

i supose i wil try

<sub>[Turning his head grudgingly to the Cubone sitting next to him, he holds out a hand. Secretly relieved, the Pokemon wastes no time at all in plopping the second little packet of trailmix into it.]

[He fiddles with it for a moment, lets out a 'Tch' when he realizes how badly the plastic fails to grip on his automail hand, and opts to just rip the top open with his teeth. Okay. Crunchy snack. Here we go.]

[Hm.]</sub>

how long do i hav to wayt b4 it stops the pain

_{[Granola doesn't work like painkillers, Wrath.]}

[nectarofknowledge]

Make sure to consume something to drink as well. Combined, this should ease your pain within a half hour.

i wil hav to fynd water

_{[Guess who hightailed it out of New Bark before anyone could so much as offer him a bottle of it in this heat?]}

this """trayl mix""" is vary dry

[nectarofknowledge]

[ oh good, it just keeps getting better. at this rate, she's going to also have a headache. ]

Are you near civilization, any towns? They may be able to provide you with hydration.

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Sorry Violet. If it makes you feel any better, you and the six other people who are pressing the importance of water upon him are at least getting through.]

[At this point he's savvy enough to Life And Existence in General that if seven unrelated people are all saying the same thing, the chance of it being some kind of prank is low.]</sub>

i am trying 2 go2 chery grov

i asume that ther is water there

i just thot it was closer

[nectarofknowledge]

That is reassuring. But if you genuinely feel you cannot make it there, don't push yourself past the breaking point. There are several people here who can no doubt come to your aide if things get alarming.

[ if she didn't know for a fact that going to wrath's side would take several days instead of hours, she'd be one of them. ]

[garbagechild]

[nectarofknowledge]

I'll continue to check in on you as time progresses, but don't feel forced to reply if you are unable. Your health should always be your number one priority.
