002 [Video - outside Cherrygrove City]

[usedtelekinesis]

[When they say that it's three days between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove City, people must assume that someone knows how to take care of themselves in the wilderness. Nagi most decidedly does not. As proof, the Pokégear turns on and he points it at his campsite. The sleeping bag is there, but he has no luck at starting a fire and the trailmix is

I'll find a way to get a tent out to you.

[And probably some dinner. There might be tension between you two but Ken doesn't think that's any reason to let you starve.]

[usedtelekinesis]

Why don't they give anyone tents to start with? It would make things easier.

[usedfuryswipes]

'Cause we're apparently supposed to enjoy nature. Doesn't work so well when there's rain. Even less when there's snow.

You're a day out? My Furret's probably the fastest runner I've got, at least that can carry a decent amount, but his legs are kinda stubby...

Maybe there's delivery birds at the Center...

[usedtelekinesis]

You don't have to do anything if it'll take a lot of effort.

[Not that he wants help from Ken anyway.]

[usedfuryswipes]

It shouldn't.

[Take a lot of effort, that is.]

And if I don't, Mamoru will, so you're getting help either way.

[But he might step back and let Mamoru take over. Naoe's not his problem.]

[usedtelekinesis]

I'd expect it from him more easily than you anyway.

[usedfuryswipes]

[Yare yare...Ken turns to shout over his shoulder.]

Oi, Mamoru!

[So respectful.]

[deadfreesia]

[Mamoru looks over from the other side of the camp.]

...What is it? Ken-kun.

[Walking over to see Nagi on the Pokégear anyway.]

[usedtelekinesis]

[In the background, Psyduck is happily splashing in a puddle. At least someone enjoys the water.]

I'm stuck outside in this weather and he wants to help.

[usedfuryswipes]

God forbid. I'll just let you two talk.

[Ken extricates himself from the conversation by flopping backwards to use the napping Omi as a pillow. The giant Furret chirrs and moves so his head is tucked underneath Ken's arm.]

[deadfreesia]

[Mamoru sends an apologetic look to Ken as he takes over the Pokégear.]

We can get a tent to you, but it probably won't be worth it by the time you receive it. How far are you from the city?

[usedtelekinesis]

About a day, I think. I've been travelling slowly because I want Schuldig to get stronger.

[Not because he's bad at handling himself outside of cities, of course not.]

[deadfreesia]

I see.

[Pause.]

Keep traveling. I'll head out with a tent. I can meet you halfway. Is there anything else I should bring?

[usedtelekinesis]

Food if you have some extra. The rest of my trailmix is ruined.

[deadfreesia]

Understood. We should meet in four to five hours if we're both moving. Until then.

[usedtelekinesis]

I'll see you then.

[Soggy Nagi, Psyduck behind him, keeps walking down the trail, mostly ignoring random Pokemon that try to attack.]
