asa mitaka (csm)

[m67]

GOLDENROD — action
[ asa seems to be running from something out of an alleyway— a pack on nickit with its thievul leader has decided this girl was the best target to steal from. they were right! asa doesn’t scream, but . . . she does happen to run into and/or trip right into you.

a galar zigzagoon bursts from one of the trash cans for the sudden opportunity and makes to steal the downed trainer’s bag, and some sort of belonging from your things.

you might want to check if a pokeball is missing from your belt. asa presses her lips tightly together, and has a hard time looking up to meet a possibly judging gaze. ]

I’m— Sorry . . .

[ she’s already flinching as if expecting a scold. wild pokémon off with their stuff, huh . . . ]

POKÉGEAR
what if we don’t like the pokemon we end up with
if they’re like partners
or whatever
instead of pets
can’t we resign being their trainer if we’re not a match
?
i don’t know how this works

Goldenrod City

[crystalmaster]

[Radley is surprised to suddenly be crashed into.]

Whoa!

[But he is further surprised by the naughty Pokemon grabbing something of his and running.]

What the ... ?!

[All of his Pokemon are out, and they immediately give chase on the thief. What was stolen was a pendant he was holding.

He sighs at the girl's apology.]

This isn't your fault. Come on, let's catch up to my team. They might have the crooks caught already.

[He smiles a bit.]

[m67]

[ asa freezes, body, expression and all. it’s as if she’s surprised by that las part, and now utterly worried. ]

I . . . [ she trusts that yoru will bail him out. or, on the bright side, steal one of them. she has to. ] R—right.

[ she can’t lift suspicions, and with that, nods to bradely and picks herself up. ]

I’m so clumsy . . .

[crystalmaster]

It's fine, really!

[He notes the expression, but doesn't know the reason for it. Radley's Pokemon are swiftly catching up and start calling, wanting Radley's belongings back. Evie the Eevee prepares to battle.]

Everybody falls now and then. Come on, it sounds like they found that naughty-naughty thief!

[m67]

[ knees weak arms are heavy………… she can feel herself nervously cold sweat as they get closer. surely enough, the zigzagoon is backed into a corner— it dawns the pendant and waves it’s tongue out at his followers, but . . .

what phases right through the wall behind him is an aiming dragapult. ]

—I think we should run. It’s not worth it.

[ a dragon on that size could surely end an eevee, couldn’t it? please run, she pleads to herself. ]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley stares in horror.]

Yeah, no kidding! Come on, guys! Forget the pendant!

[Most of his Pokemon hurry over to him, but Evie wants to fight and get it back. Radley scoops her up.]

You're more important to me! Let's go.

[Evie nuzzles him.]

[m67]

[ she runs right with him. out of goldenrod’s lonely alleyways, asa lofts a hand through huffed breathing. ]

I’m . . . Sorry about your pendant. Was it important?

[crystalmaster]

[Radley only relaxes when it looks like the thieves haven't followed them for more.]

I can get another. I just like to wear things like that.

[He is honestly frustrated by the loss, but he doesn't blame her and he really doesn't want his Pokemon in danger for the sake of a pendant.]

What about you, though? What did it take of yours?

[m67]

Um . . . [ great. she has to lie on the spot. ] I think the foxes . . . Went off with my wallet, but . . . I didn’t have much in it.

[ “luckily”, she manages to think. ]

[crystalmaster]

If that was all you had, it's pretty invaluable. We'll have to figure out how to get it back.

[He ponders possible strategies.]

Elliott here is Psychic. Maybe he could try to use telekinesis to float our stuff back to us?

[Elliott the Espurr is willing!]

[m67]

Th— [ why doesn’t this guy give up?! she thinks, putting a hand up, ] that’s fine. Like you said, it’s invaluable.

[ it could’ve been of value. someone important could’ve given it to her. well, what’re those? and that’s not the objective here. ]

I wouldn’t do that, either . . . You’ll just bring the thieves back, and— I don’t think they’re good news.

[crystalmaster]

Maybe. Or maybe they'd let it go, unless for some reason it means that much to them to own a pendant and a wallet. If you don't have any other money, what will you do?

[He thinks finding a way to get it back is the only solution.]

[m67]

I have money back home, so . . .

[ she holds her hand up again. ]

I think I’ll just go home. [ and with a small shrug looking downwards, ] You can try, if you want.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley sighs.]

Okay, if that's what you really want.

[But he might give his plan a go anyway.]

I'm Radley, by the way.

[He holds out a hand.]

Goldenrod

[desirestruth]

Ah--

[Naeva is fortunately pretty squishy, and yeah, there went the bag and all her potions...well, that's less important.]

Are you okay, Miss? Were you hurt?

[m67]

[ this is so dumb. real dumb. for real. but either way— ]

I'm . . . I'll Be alright. [ asa looks closer and realizes— they've gotten something off them. good? well, good for her, bad for the person. ] It happens.

[desirestruth]

[Honestly if you had just showed her the zigzagoon she would have forfeited all mortal possessions to the little bastard anyway. But she does try to help her to her feet.]

Are you sure? I have some bandages in my....

[...]

Ah.

[m67]

[ asa is hesitant about the help and immediately tries to shake it off. it’s not like she deserves it at this point. ]

You’re . . . ? [ . . . ] They took it?
