It requires a badge and a technique. Don't ask me why it is. It just is.

[ But for real though. Corviknight is loving this sort of attention. It's a bit harder to get now that he's so massive. When it had been a small thing, he would bother Bakugou all the time in the middle of the night. ]

Anyway. You only get that one. The rest you have to catch in the wild or you just get eggs.

[ Which means he's releasing his other four. Houndoom, Sandslash, Chandelure...

And an Alolan Ninetales. ]

[floatsaway]

...This place really doesn't make much sense at all.

[Ochako wrinkles her nose. Badge, technique...what? Why can't a bigass bird just be able to fly a person when it wants to? I mean, sure, it probably needs proper safety training and gear to make sure no one gets hurt, but that should be a thing taught by a specialized group in every town and city. You'd think this world would make things a bit more accessible, honestly... Especially when it seems like they all want you to explore or some shit like that.

Ochako shakes her head, starting to feel an irritated headache forming, and instead just keeps on distracting herself with all these cute as hell animals. Man but they sure fucking help keep her worries at bay for a while.]

Catch them? Like in...traps? [That seems kind of cruel, doesn't it? She doesn't want to hunt or hurt these things. Nah, that wouldn't make sense. Ochako rubs at her temples, and instead closes her eyes and thinks more like...like a video game. Because this place is sort of like that, kind of. It only makes sense in a totally weird way.] Wait, wait. Like Monster Rancher? Or those collectible mobile ga--eeehh!! You have so many of them!

Hello there... [She's crouching down a bit now, to introduce herself to the newest ones. One is like a hedgehog? And oooh, that big scary hellhound looking thing. Of course Bakugou has one of those. But the FOX. +___+ Ochako gasps softly, holding out her hand.] Uwaah...you're so pretty... Bakugou-kun, your friends are all so cool and pretty!! I really like them a lot!

[apshot]

Just read your damn guide. It's in the backpack.

[ He's not going to sit here and explain things when the information is already available. Round Face is just going to have to deal with it. It will talk about everything that she's currently asking questions about. So that's how Bakugou will leave it.

Rather he'll focus on his teammates and her reaction to them. ]

Got something like eighteen of these fuckers. Around there anyway.

[ They're all pretty friendly, save for Houndoom. He'll just sit right close there next to Katsuki. Houndoom likes only person and one person only. ]

[floatsaway]

Ah, there is?

[She, uh...she didn't exactly have a chance to get to really sit down and figure all that out before Ochako was shoved out the door and let loose into the wild, as it were. A bit too emotional for her own good, Ochako spent most of her first few hours just sort of wandering around, trying not to panic, and trying to get her questions answered by a lot of unhelpful people. Then she was attacked by those dumb birds before Bakugou sav--oh! That's right.]

Ah...already? [Her head turns to one side. Ochako only has Cleffa, who is happily going to introduce herself to all the other Pokemon, but pauses before getting too close to Houndoom. Hmmm... She'll just. make an arc way around the scary-looking doggo and approach from the other side, closer to Katsuki.] That's amazing...they're all so big, and cool looking.

Oh, and, um...thanks, Bakugou-kun. For saving me. Eheh, I don't think I said it before. And Corviknight, too!!

[apshot]

I've been here since what? Something like September?

[ So it's not really "already." Bakugou's been here for a while, Round Face. Just what do you think he's been up to, huh? ]

Anyway. You can only carry six at a time. So I have to rotate the shits out. Your Cleffa there coulda handled things too. They like to battle.

[floatsaway]

UEEEH?! WHAT?! Th-That's not possible I just saw you a few weeks ago!! And that was December!

[How the actual fuck has Bakugou been here since September?! U-Unless the months are different here? Or time...is...different? But still, that doesn't make any sense!! Oh fucking--...here comes that headache again. Ochako rubs at her temples and shakes her head.]

R-Right...right. Can we go somewhere else, Bakugou-kun? I think I just need to walk around and not think about all this for a little while. [It's a bit much to process all at once, my god. Ochako needs a goddamn break.]

[apshot]

[ It is a lot to take in. Bakugou had trouble with not having his Quirk... Took him months to properly process and deal with it. So it's not like he can really boast about - ]

Fucking falling apart already. God.

[ But he can complain! Loudly! Anyway, the blonde jerks his thumb towards Corviknight. ]

I can take you to the closest city.

[floatsaway]

[And the best part is, Ochako still hasn't realized she can't use her quirk yet. She hasn't had a need to use it, so finding that out when she tries is going to be a Fun Time for sure.

Ochako scowls at him for the nasty remark, and kicks a bit of dirt in his general direction as she sticks out her tongue. She's not 'falling apart'!! Not yet at least - that may happen when she's let all of this really sink in - but for now she's doing her best. Heck, others would probably be freaking out by now, but having some emergency training and such definitely helps her keep her head a little bit better. This place is weird, and the way they got here is super not great, but at least the world itself seems...relatively peaceful. That's a small boon.]

Mm? Can your birdy really carry two people at once?

[apshot]

[ Honestly Katsuki figures that she will once everything really sinks it. It had been much the same way for him. The only reason it hadn't immediately had been due to the presence of Kirishima. Then again it had taken him months to fully brood over the loss. ]

Obviously. Look at the size of him. You think he can't?

[floatsaway]

[It...really is going to be rough. Especially since Ochako is traveling by herself, too, or will be. She doesn't exactly want to get dragged around behind the boys, after all. They have their own shit to do, and she'd like to catch up on her own. But, the longer nights are going to be difficult.]

Bakugou-kun, I don't know, so please stop treating me like I'm dumb. Birds usually aren't able to carry very large animals...let alone two people. [But she is heading over towards Corviknight again with a smile, and then bows to it politely.] Is it alright if I ride on your back, please? I promise not to pull your pretty feathers.

[apshot]

Why would I offer to take if you if he couldn't handle two people?

[ He stands there with his hands on his hips. Katsuki huffs like Corviknight caws. He spreads his wings. Yes! The bird is ready! ]

[floatsaway]

[Ochako opens her mouth, closes it, then puffs up her cheeks and crosses her arms, knowing she's lost. Goddamnitall.

Bakugou: 1
Ochako: 0]

Fine, fine, let's just go already...

[Giving Corviknight a final pat on the head, Ochako will wait for Bakugou to get on first before climbing up after. He knows how to, uh...'drive' this thing, and where he's going, so it'd make more sense for him to be in the front.]
