[ Upon arriving in New Bark, Satoko immediately ran into her big brother and became his shadow. Or maybe it's the other way around? Either way, she hasn't bothered to attempt to master this new technology since finding him. No way! How embarrassing would it be to use it and not be an expert? Nope! She's quietly fiddled with it while traveling with

[Satoshi, on the other hand, is just coming out of the Pokémon Center. It had been a hard few days on him, at least.]

Muu...Adventures are a lot more tiring then I thought they'd be...ahahaha.

[His Ralts is seated on his shoulder, clutching at Satoshi's head like some odd-looking monkey. Satoshi had gotten rather taken with it and more often than not tended to keep Ralts out of its Pokéball. He does the same to Hoothoot on slightly rarer occasions, but for now it is sleeping securely inside its Pokéball.]

Nii~Nii!

[ Satoko will happily turn to face her big brother, trying to cover up the fact that she was asking for help on her shopping list. Because goodness no, your little sister would never need any help looking after you! ]

How did the Pokemon Center trip go? Are you feeling better now, Ralts-san? [ Because proper young ladies -san everything. ] And now now, Nii-Nii. We are in a town again so perhaps a break is in order. After all, we'll have to go shopping.

[patsheads]

[Ralts trills cheerfully at her in response. It can sense the fondness Satoshi has for his younger sister and as such imitates its trainer by greatly liking her as well.]

Muu...shopping, huh? That's probably a good idea. I hear the next town is a lot further...

[He's a little distracted as he talks, though, as he's currently rifling through his pack in search of something.]

[action]

[wantsheadpat]

Yes, of course~. We should probably stock up on "healing items", such as potions and antidotes, Nii-Nii. So Ralts-san can stay safe.

[ She tries to sound like an expert, but she only just learned about healing items a few minutes before. ]

[action]

[patsheads]

[He will of course indulge her until the end of time.]

Ahahaha...yeah. Ralts got really tired on our way here...

[But now! He's found what he's looking for and pulls out an innocent looking Pokeball before offering it to Satoko.]

Umm...I need you to look after this for me.

[He realizes Satoko is increasingly resistant to his coddling so he tries to word it in a way that makes it seem like he's requesting her help.]

[action]

[wantsheadpat]

Ara~?

[ Satoko takes the Pokeball... She's kind of hoping that it's not empty, mind you, but you know... she doesn't want it to show that she wants a Nii-Nii present. ]

Nii-Nii, what's this? You need me to look after a Pokeball?

[action]

[patsheads]

[Of course it's not empty! Though I wouldn't put it past him...cough anyway-]

Ahahaha....no, what's inside it. I found it the other night, but, ummm...it was hurt and I wanted to make sure it was okay before I let it out or anything. Umm...I think it might like you better, though.

[He doesn't actually know if that's the case or not. He just wants to help his sister adjust to the place. And when Satoko opens the Pokeball, the most adorable little Sentret bounces out. :3c]

[ Satoko looks down at her little Sentret with a surprised expression. For a moment, she can't hide the look of surprise and happiness on her face. It's a gift from Nii-Nii, after all. ]

Nii-Nii... are you sure?

[action] 2/2

[wantsheadpat]

A-After all~! A Pokemon this cute-- I mean, strong--- cannot be easy to come by~. [ She says while hugging Sentret possessively, in a way that suggests she's already decided never to give it away even if he asks. Sorry Nii-Nii. ]

[action]

[patsheads]

[He would never ask for it back! He'd give everything to her if he could. But her obvious delight clearly pleases him.]

Ahahaha...I think you'd be better for taking care of it. So...look after it well, all right? I know you will.

[He may not have that giant stuffed bear for her anymore, but this is just as good. Maybe even better.]

[action]

[wantsheadpat]

O~hoh! You can count on me, Nii-Nii!

[ Satoko gives Sentret one last hug, then stands up and lets Teddiursa out of its Pokeball. So that the two can become friends. ]

Well then! Shall we begin shopping together? We have quite the family to take care of~. [ Because Satoko sees this all as Satoshi and her getting more siblings, it seems. And a nice, stable family. ]

[action]

[patsheads]

[It certainly is nice, living without the constant dread of going home. This may be an entirely unfamiliar place, but...Satoko is here, their family is far away, and for the first time ever, it feels to Satoshi like the two of them finally have a real chance at life.

Perhaps this was the best possible outcome.

Even if he could use some more money.]

Ahh...yeah, we do. Ahahaha, I hope I have enough for everyone...

[action]

[wantsheadpat]

Well, let's see~. I think that we can take up part time jobs... But with what we have now, we can probably afford potions and antidotes and um... extra blankets and food...

Maybe I could get a job in the next city? Violet, I think...!

[ Look at your little sister, trying to be all responsible and manage her money. ]

[action]

[patsheads]

[That is incredibly endearing, but-]

Hahaha....Satoko, why don't you let me work?

[He's supposed to be taking care of you. :c]

[action]

[wantsheadpat]

Nonsense, Nii-Nii! If we are to support each other than I absolutely must work as well!

You may get a part-time job, but I will also be pulling my weight this time.

[ Please dun leave me again because I'm spoiled, Nii-Nii. :c ]

[patsheads]

[Satoko no he is the caregiver, don't go upending roles like that. 8(]

...Muu...I don't want you overworking yourself. I'd rather you have fun.

[Especially now that you're in a place where he can actually let her have fun.]
