It won't come as a surprise to some, I'm sure. I doubt anyone is going to have an easy time crossing this route. If you don't have a partner that can swim, boy do I feel sorry for you!

[ siiiiigh. yes. he's going to have to actually get wet. this thought. it is not pleasing to him at all. ]

Ash, a friend and I are almost to your ranch. I hope you don

[ Hanekoma's hanging out just a few feet away, hiding from the wind and rain in his nice warm creeper outfit hat and trench coat. He was just watching Hachiko swim, but he looks up at the mention of his creaky old man joints. ]

Hey, I'm not that old. Physically.

You gonna get in the water or will I hafta push you in?

[ the response is to just smirk a bit at the mention of age. ]

You've still got ages on me.

[ then a little glaring side look at the water. ]

If you push, I'm taking you down with me.

[ He ignores the first part, and resigns himself to taking off the heavy trench coat. He has to get in the water sooner or later, and it'll just drag him down. ]

I dunno, might still be worth it. You wanna find out?

[ he's still looking at the water with a huffy face. but he's mentally preparing himself and his pack. ]

No.

Yeah, that'll be fine Joshua. If you like, I can send my Pokemon after you. He could easily bring you two over the flood to the Ranch.

[brbjudgingyou]

That's not a problem. Both my friend and I have pokémon that can cross water.

[brave_phantom]

Alright. If you arrive soon, I can give you and your friend a place to stay, but I'm sorry if the accommodations are meager, the Ranch is dealing with the flood too.

[brbjudgingyou]

That's quite all right. It's not as though you were actually expecting guests.
