2 � [VIDEO/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]
[ACTION]
[Having grown tired of the stifling atmosphere of the Rocket Base, Emmy has decided that today, she'll train her Pokemon in one of Goldenrod's parks. She's not quite silly enough to do anything too serious in the middle of the city (something tells her that practicing moves like Flamethrower in such an area might be frowned upon), but that doesn't bother her too much. The training she wants to do is fairly simple, anyway.]
Keep your guard up, Lulu!
[And by training, she means...well, sparring rather aggressively with her Lucario. Her Pokemon can't have all the fun, after all!]
That's it!
[It's been a long time since Emmy has had such a good training partner, and she's taking full advantage of it. The pair punch and kick with gusto, blocking each other's moves and responding with faster ones, with Emmy occasionally shouting the odd instruction or word of encouragement. While Emmy has strong technical knowledge, Lulu has pure PokePower on her side; as an opponent, she's formidable. They begin to move faster and faster, completely oblivious to their surroundings, until Lulu happens to let her guard down at just the wrong moment-]
Gotcha!
[It's a move she's done many times before; launching herself into the air, Emmy twists and nails Lulu in the forehead with a powerful back kick, sending her tumbling onto the grass. It's rather clear that she's uninjured, however; talented as her trainer is, she's nowhere near strong enough to do any real damage. Rolling up onto her knees, Lulu pats down the fur on her forehead, waiting for instructions from her-
...ah.]
Lulu...
[Huffing, Emmy places her hands on her hips and pouts down at her Lucario, who is looking...rather guilty, like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar. She thought she was being sneaky...
...]
What have I told you about going easy on me?
[Looks like they might need to take a break...]
[VIDEO]
[The feed opens to the sight of Emmy and Lulu sitting under a tree, apparently taking a well-deserved break from all their sparring. Taking a sip from a water bottle, Emmy contemplates the camera.]
Hello! I have a question for anyone out there listening, today! How do you train your Pokemon? I'd especially like responses involving Fighting-types! I prefer to be out there on the field with my Pokemon, but they tend to get a bit nervous when I do that! Don't you think that's far more rewarding, though? I get so antsy just standing around!
[Leaning back against the trunk of the tree, Emmy folds her arms behind her head and looks up at the leaves, still thinking.]
Although I suppose I can understand their fears...we humans are so fragile in comparison to them. I just wish I could keep up!
[Hmmm...
...ah! Right, the camera is still on!]
Ah, sorry about that! It just reminded me of a puzzle, you see. Do give me a call if you'd like to chat about training, anyway!

Ah, Kanto? Really? What takes you out that way?
[You know, even though she's been here a while, she's never really spent that much time on the east side....hmmm....]
no subject
Well, I've gotten all the badges in Johto, and we were going to go to Kanto next when...
[Her smile fades and she turns her eyes away.]
When AJ vanished.
no subject
Oh goodness, a friend of yours? I'm so sorry, Twilight. I know how that feels, and it's awful.
[She'd had the Professor here a bit, back when she first arrived...his disappearence didn't go down very well.]
Was it recent?
no subject
[Something she's never really had to deal with before now. There's always been at least one pony with her until AJ left.]
It happened in early December. I was going to make a message informing everyone but I just... couldn't bring myself to, I suppose.
no subject
[She'd never really thought about it, but before...there had been so many people she knew, hadn't there? But now...]
If you're in Goldenrod, or nearby, we can have some tea together, if you like. I know a few nice cafes around the place. If you want to talk about it, that is. Sometimes it can help.

no subject
[It's then that it hits Emmy - how long has it been since she's just...gone to tea with someone, completely unrelated to all the drama back in England? Especially a woman of a similar age to her...
...it's rather nice, really.]
I'm sure we could find a few things to chat about, anyway.
no subject
[Twilight can't help but let her mouth quirk up into a little grin as she mentions that. Ah, the Goldenrod Black Hole. That joke never gets old.]
no subject
[Haha, yeah...since she's made so many friends in the Rocket Base, and all...
...at least some of them are tolerable; moreso than others, anyway.]
I'm sure I'll be able to tear myself away at some point, however. There are badges to collect, after all!
no subject
[Not that she can talk about that.]
Well, as long as you don't let yourself get in a rut. But then I suppose I don't have to worry about that with you. Do be careful though, I know the area around Goldenrod probably doesn't seem that dangerous but you never know.
[And given poor Emmy's current situation, she has every reason to worry.]
no subject
[With any luck, anyway...]
You just give me a call whenever you're in town, and we can go out somewhere nice. You deserve it, after all!
no subject
Until then!
