k9tantei: (Why do the gods hate me?)

The feed shows a lovely evening in Ecruteak, with (1) teenage detective wandering out to the park to flop bonelessly in the grass; Baskerville is carrying what looks to be a brand-new saddle sized and designed for a Houndoom, while Heiji’s dropping a shinai and set of kendo pads next to him. Of course, anyone who’s gotten to deal with riding – be it horses back home or Pokémon here – would probably recognize the uneven “Oh god I didn’t even know I had those muscles” stagger of someone who has never ridden before, yet has gotten the brilliant idea to go on an extended ride – it’s hard to tell what’s from the five day long trip from Olivine, and what’s from doing so bareback on a giant dog with bony ridges on its back.]

Saaaaaaa….. ‘m never gonna have kids… [It’s a tiny, despairing whimper.]

[At which point he slowly shifts the arm he’d thrown over his face to look over at the camera… and the Jynx who’s holding it…]

Achfpfh- YUKI! Y’DON’T NEED T’RECORD EVERYTHING! That’d better not be broadcasting! [He sits upright sharply, grabbing at the gear, and is answered with some very happy-sounding gibberish before the Gear is turned off and handed over.]

[HIS MOTHER WOULD BE PROUD. Now she just needs to find a way to send the videos to Osaka…]

[Okay, make that empathy, but she doesn't think she had it as bad as he did. BONEY STUFF. :|]

Too late for that advice. I used Jet about a month and a half to go to get from Violet to Cherrygrove and cut the travel time. [Needless to say she was actually grateful for having no recollection of the pain after the fourth wall time skip.]

[] Ow.

You'd think that'd be one of th'things they put in th'manual so people know before they learn th'hard way...

Up there with "don't eat th'berries". One day I'm gonna find th'guy who accidentally broadcast that an'thank him for th'warning.

Yeah, riding bare back is not fun. I didn't think it would be any worse than going bare back on Appa. Boy was I ever wrong.

Be sure to thank them for me too, when you do. [She's happy to share credit where credit is due, and he definitely did her a favor as well.]

Eh-heh. Guessin' Appa must've been pretty cushy... I shoulda seen somethin' comin', I've heard from people who deal with horses 'bout what it's like if you haven't ridden in a while...


Bet he taught half'f Johto with that one.

Oh, I've got another one - don't try'n get a pokémon without Fly t'carry you more'n a short distance, 'less you wanna end up chasin' every stray leaf or somewhere in th'middle of nowhere.
