Bahamut-- Look, I know you're happy you evolved, but, please-

[ The feed snaps open, with the Gear facing towards the ground, and what looks to be a... mouth? Indeed, it looks like a certain dragon's just gotten even more mischievous. The Gear dances, it twirls, and jumps!

[ And Xion, sometimes glimpsed upon the feed below, is trying to chase after her wayward dragon. At least she's moving around enough despite her condition, showing that she did, at least, listen for the most part of recovering. Still- ]

... Enough. Stop that. [ There's an edge to her voice, a slight strain to hide it, but then-- ] Bahamut!

[ Screech. The feed stops, but Xion's quick sputter and scramble from her outburst, and the feed is freed from Bahamut's mouth. She takes a brief moment to clutch her side for a moment, but she turns to the feed with a slightly exasperated smile. ]

Sorry about that, he was just really excited. [ She takes a moment to walk, sit upon a bed and let out a breath before turning back to the Gear. Then a Garchomp's head slowly eases back into the feed to gently nudge her under her chin, sort of as a way of saying "I'm sorry"? Xion laughs just a bit and strokes the top of his head as a way of accepting his apology. ]

Seems like I'm going back to Goldenrod. I think now... Now I'm ready to face the Gym leaders. It's been over a year now. [ Pause. ] Get the Badges, beat the Elite Four, then... what? What else is left for people? For those who are already more than halfway to getting all of the Badges... what are you going to do?

[ Sounding a bit frustrated here. Another bad night? Maybe. Maybe. And after a moment of staring down on the Gear... ]

[ Private Message Sent to Saber ]

Um, hello. It's been a while since we talked, Saber, I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if I could ask you something... Sorry if this is a bit random.

Congrats on your evolution, Bahamut.

[As for her other question...]

Well, I guess I'd either travel around or settle down and start working.

[ Bahamut roars his thanks! ]

That's what another of my friends said. The settling down plan.

After travelling around, they probably would like to stay in one place for the long term.

Yeah, I can see that... But traveling's fun!

I know, right? Rough, but fun and unexpected! You never know when you, say, meet a new Pokemon friend along the way.

Something like that happening, yeah. [ Pause. ] I just haven't been out to do that for a while...

Do you want to travel?

Yeah. I mean, I've been out for most of a month and more...

That's about...the same as me. Maybe a little more?

...Got anyone wanting to travel with you?

Hm, I know one friend does, but I'd rather he go on without me. I still need to heal. Or so they say.

Oh yeah, you still got that injury, right? Then it's better for you to let it heal up first.

[ She lets out a sigh. ] Yeah. Maybe in another week, I can finally do something.

Another week... [Hm, he can probably give her chocolates in time.]

[ Blinks at that. Doesn't know what he could imply. ] Hm? Did you want to do anything next week, Atsuro?

[He smiles.] Next week's Valentine's Day, so I was wondering if I'd be able to give you chocolates.

Oh, right, I'd heard about that day... [ Blinks. ] You want to give me chocolate? Why?

Why? Because you're a friend! [And she's cute, but shhhh.]

[ ffff, one day, Atsuro... you gotta tell it to her face. ]

So Valentine's Day is a day to give chocolate out to friends? ... Ah! I should hurry to get some, then!

[One day, one day.]

It's also a day to give chocolates to people you love, too.

So it's still the same? I love all of my friends.

[Yeah...it'd be challenging to get her to understand.] Almost like that, but still, give all of your friends chocolate!

Okay. Uh, I wouldn't know how to cook chocolate, so I hope they won't mind if I bought some?

I'm sure they won't mind! It's the thought behind the gifts that counts.

Ohh... [ Beams. ] Then I'll be happy to give you some, Atsuro.

Really? Wow, thanks, Xion! I'll look forward to it!
