Kyaa!

*Retasu is clinging tightly onto a Lapras with white ribbons attached to its head. They're not that far out to sea, but she looks really worried anyway.*

Um... p-please don't let me fall, Lory-san... please, okay? *takes a deep breath* But I know we have to go this way or we'll never be able to get to the next Gym! I just wish the ferry weren't out of service...

(Those who get all the fandom in-jokes, have a cookie.)

Hey, there. Are you going to be, ok? I'm pretty sure, Lapras isn't going to let you fall.

^{Why are you scared of falling in, in the first place?}

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

I'm scared of water.

[nike-hat.livejournal.com]

Why's that?

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

Because I can't swim.

[nike-hat.livejournal.com]

Well, you could always learn. If you're going to be a Pokemon master, you shouldn't be afraid of things. Rather always ready take things on, no matter what the challenge.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what being a Pokemon master means... I just decided to take the Gym challenge because everybody else I knew was.

[nike-hat.livejournal.com]

That doesn't mean you have to be like everyone else... I mean.. Not everyone who's involved with Pokemon has to battle for badges. Some people rather become breeders or understand Pokemon in other ways.

But either way, you're going to need.. What's the word I'm looking for? Oh, yeah! Determination.

I bet if you had someone help teach you to swim you wouldn't be afraid of the water as much.

By the name, my name's Ash. Ash Ketchum.

But then I'd just be inconveniencing the person, right?

Um... Midorikawa Retasu.

[nike-hat.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

Good to meet you. Pika!

So, Midorikawa, how did you met Lapras there?

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Lory-san seems to be doing well, dear.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm worried for nothing... kyaa! *clings tighter to said pokemon*

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

It is all right to be nervous. If I may ask, how long have you known your little friend?

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

Since about September... it's a really long story, but now we're travelling together. Everyone else I knew was going out on an adventure, and I didn't want to be left behind.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

So you have been together for some time, on a journey no less. You must have been through much together.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

Yes... It's kind of scary sometimes, but also a lot of fun.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Fun and rewarding, no doubt. I am glad to hear it. Being out on ones own is hard, but at least you have your friends, yes?

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

...*takes a deep breath* Right!

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

It is not so far now, is it?

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

It still looks far...

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

And you can make it.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

I do. Please believe in your friend; it is never so far as you might think.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll try my best!

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Please do. And let me know if you are in need of anything, dear; anything at all.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

I don't want to bother you, but thank you very much.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Of course. Though do know that it would not be a bother at all.
