002. Text/Action for Cherrygrove City
[ACTION]
[Meeting Kayneth's...utter charmer of a fiancée in person was likely something left for a better time - after all, the man was just being reunited with her, it was probably best to give the both of them some space. To say nothing of the fact that said fiancée had mentioned someone named "Derry" travelling with her; Tokiomi couldn't help but think that this...likely was not something he wanted to involve himself in.
For the time being, then, training was the best option; it gave him something to do with himself that wasn't simply spending time in the town trying not to talk to people, and it presented something to think about besides. He'd been a bit more withdrawn than usual lately; going through the motions for the most part, really. His thoughts hadn't been in Johto, but rather in Fuyuki City - with Rin and Aoi, with Kirei. He misses them greatly; he isn't sure what to do with that, other than try to push past it. After all, it isn't as though there's anything to be done about it.
...of course, Johto being Johto, it isn't going to let him dwell on it for too long; he's noticed the larger number of Pokémon around lately, and he's been taking advantage of the psychic swarms by...well, level-grinding like a boss. It's been a godsend, really, given where they are - Kayneth had insisted on dragging him clear back to Cherrygrove, of all godforsaken places - but as with every swarm of wild animals in that place, there's always the oddball in the crowd that likes to follow humans around for absolutely no reason. Maybe it's aware of Tokiomi's melancholy lately; maybe it's just looking for food or something, who knows. But by the second morning of training on this route, he's had enough of the...thing hovering around, constantly nearby; really, he catches it simply because at that point, he might as well.
Of course, this has really only compounded the issue, as once he releases the thing from the ball to check stats, it's promptly hovering far too close to his shoulder and rubbing on him and generally providing more contact than he's used to with most people, much less animals. Lovely.
Happy birthday, Tokiomi; have a very affectionate pink windchime. Given that the thing only knows Wrap at its current level, he has his work cut out for him, let's put it that way.]
[TEXT]
[Admittedly, Tokiomi manages to misfire a time or two trying to get the 'Gear to work; he's still not terribly used to it, and there was at least one Chimecho-caused failpost when she decided that the piece of machinery was, clearly, the most interesting thing she'd ever seen. So hopefully no one minded the few random instances of three-second blurry pink jittercam before Tokiomi gives up on video entirely and just goes for text.]
I'm looking for places of cultural and historical significance within Johto. I've seen the Ruins of Alph (to some extent); is there anywhere else that's noteworthy?
