Second Confine

((OOC: Technically backdated to... two days ago OTL))

[Action]

[Marona stood in front of the ranch, peering at it, comparing it to the glimpses she had gotten from the videos on her Pokédex. It certainly looked like the right one. And, going off of its location, there was no real possibility it could have been another. After all, there weren't exactly a bunch of Pokémon ranches on the same one route. Which meant...]

Just a little further. A little further, and I'll be there...!

[Of course, considering Marona had run to it after being chased back down by Route 30 by some decidedly unhappy Beedrills, it was easier said than done. She was tired. Still, she pressed on, knowing this was where she would finally be able to meet up with her friends - all of them.

Or at least, that's what she thought. At least ignorance is bliss?]

Comments

Daw... Marona's icon. I want it XD

Oh Marona! Haha!

[Ash let's her go after a few moments of embracing, probably the biggest smile he ever worn on his face his entire life and unlife is the first thing she'll see. If she looked closer, a few tears had welled up in his own eyes, but he had not let them run. Ash wipes away her tears, again, something he couldn't do before.]

I'm so glad you're safe...

[Ash turned and nodded the man beside him.]

Marona's friend, right? Thanks for watching out for her.

[Aaaaaand suddenly she remembers that someone else had made it to the ranch. She smiles sheepishly at Athrun, realizing he must have felt a little left out.]

I'm sorry. Athrun, this is my friend Ash. Ash, meet Athrun. He's been traveling in the same group as me.

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you. And really, it was no problem. You've got a great friend there.

Somehow, Athrun... My inbox doesn't want to register you when you comment. v,v

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Marona means a lot to me. So any friend of hers is one of mine.

[Ash offered a poilte half-bow, still locked in embrace with Marona.]

Would you two like to come inside and rest? The trip from Cherrygrove is a long one, I bet you two are tired.

It's because the reply is to Marona's post. If it weren't my entry I wouldn't get notifs from Ash's.

[bravegreen.livejournal.com]

Can we? I want to see where you have been working!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Actually, we'd agreed to meet our other companions here. You can show Marona around, but I'm going to stay here for a while longer.

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

[Ash liked this guy. He could see a noble man in him, not unlike Ash himself. Ash nodded and took Marona by the hand.]

Is that alright with you, Marona? Or we can wait here if you like.

[bravegreen.livejournal.com]

[Marona winces when Athrun mentions the others. How could she have forgotten them? And after traveling so far together...]

No, I'll stay and wait, too. I wonder where everyone went?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

...I don't know. They must have been held up by something.

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

[Marona was like Ash, seeing a loved one really threw everything out of perspective. Ash was a little jealous that someone other then him was watching out for Marona. He dismissed the thought quickly.]

Beedrill, maybe? Did they give you any trouble on 30?

[bravegreen.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They chased us, so everyone ended up going in different directions. I hope nobody was hurt...

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

I'm also worried about Rise. When I last talked to her...she'd taken a sting from a Beedrill.

Sry for the short tag but... v.v

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Rise?

[bravegreen.livejournal.com]

Rise got stung?!

Oh no, what should we do? We have to help her-!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Calm down! Right now we don't even know where she is. If she needs help, she'll contact us. All we can do until then is wait.

[Ash is going to Remain calm, listening. You two can carry on until he needs to interject. Should I buzz Rise and send her here to thread in?]

OOC

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Actually, Athrun is going to go into town and find Rise there. That thread already happened.

Re: OOC

[bravegreen.livejournal.com]

((OOC: Yup! What Athrun-mun said!))

Y-you're right. I hope she's okay...

[Remembering that Ash doesn't know Rise, she turns to explain to him.]

Rise is one of the people who traveled with us. When I thought of staying back in Cherrygrove to work, she offered to stay with me.

Still OOC, continue. :)
