Rainbow Dash | Equestria Girls

[loyalguitarist]

1) Route 1 - Kanto

[Okay, this seemed a little easy - wandering around, capturing monsters, being the best that she can be and all of that. No sweat! For Rainbow Dash, this seems like the easiest thing in the world! And now, it was time for a fight - a Squirtle vs. a Pidgey. Time to add her first captured to her collection!]

Alright, Tank, let's show them what you're made of! Tackle it!

SQUIRT!

[And the turtle charged forward, tackling the bird, who responded by tackling the turtle in response. Care to watch this fight?]

2) Viridian City - Kanto

[It's been a long walk, but Rainbow Dash finally made it to the first stop in her journey... and she's failing to get into the Gym.]

Oh, come on! It's a gym, it's right there, why can't I get it? Ugh, you guys suck!

[And she's going to march off in a huff]

2

[nanaimo_bar]

T'would be easy to do so, if this was the first gym.

[Oh hey, it's the tiny potato woman standing there, backpack slung over her shoulder with a little bemused expression on her face.]

In truth, the Viridian Gym doth be the eighth, not the first. T'would be prudent to head to Pewter City.

[loyalguitarist]

The eighth?! Why would they put the gym that is right after that little town as last?!

Ugh, someone here has a very bad sense of humor!

[nanaimo_bar]

I think that was the point. But t'would be easier as a looped challenge, as the route to the Elite Four is a tarry stone away.

It is slightly maddening, but none such a worry in truth. But no matter, if thy wish to go to Pewter, there is a passage through the next route towards the city.

[loyalguitarist]

Ugh, fine.

[Rainbow Dash shook her head at that.] Though, right now I need to make sure my Pokemon are all healed up. I don't want to get out there with weak Pokemon.

[nanaimo_bar]

The Pokemon Center is that way. [Said Nanamo, gesturing down the road.] Come, walk with me; I have business there as well.

I am Lilira Lira, and you?

[loyalguitarist]

I'm Rainbow Dash. Nice to meet ya, Lillra!

You just get started, too?

[nanaimo_bar]

The name doth suit you, Rainbow. It is an apt name.

Pray yes, my companion hath wandered off in a fit of childlike wonder, so we agreed we would join up sooner at the place of healing.

[loyalguitarist]

Ah... oh, right. [A friend ran off in excitement, but agreed to meet up at the Pokemon Center. Gosh, this kind of talking is something Twilight - either of them - would enjoy!]

I wonder if there's anything else I should do while I'm here...

[nanaimo_bar]

Viridian is a city of enjoyable sights and places to see and go. There's enough of a vast open potential for everything we need as trainers, and plenty of wild Pokemon to battle and train.

[loyalguitarist]

Hmm. That so? Well, if I'm going to be an awesome trainer, I'm gonna need awesome Pokemon, so I should go for the best!

[nanaimo_bar]

Mmm, I agree that one should be best prepared for the coming challenges then. A good thing too, with the world being sufficiently challenging in itself.

[loyalguitarist]

Y'know what, why don't you join me, hm?

[nanaimo_bar]

Hmm, strength in numbers a small travelling party then? T'would be an idea for the coming days.

[loyalguitarist]

Great! After we do everything, we should check out the paths out of here. You told me about Pewter, but I think there's another sign to another path we can go to!

[nanaimo_bar]

Which direction? Did you look into it before attempting to enter the Gym?

[Color her curious.]

[loyalguitarist]

Ah... something about a Route 22? They said it heads for where the Elite Four are, but that probably means there's some pretty good Pokemon over there we can snatch up. Probably really strong ones, too!

[ Chibiusa knows a thing or two about crystals, though she's never heard of one called 'Mother Crystal' before. She knows of her mother's crystal, a bit too painfully so,
but that's a conversation that requires social link level 5 at the bare minimum to unlock. Still, there's something intriguing about a girl who looks both younger and older than her all at the same time that compels her to will up the courage to talk to her. ]

Lilira Lira? That's a pretty name. I'm used to traveling to different points of time too. [ That's... not the same thing as being abducted to another plane, but hey. Who is really going to get up in arms about technicalities? ] My name is Chibiusa Tsukino. Let's be friends, okay?

1!

[lunaball]

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

[ Chibiusa may have slept through the whole speech about battling Pokemon to add them to your team. In fact, she may have slept through the whole thing. That's why she's wandering around on this route with no real direction--well, until she saw someone bullying another Pokemon!

That seems wrong, right? It's really wrong! ] Leave that poor, um--[ Hold on, she's holding up her PokeDex to it to identify the Pokemon. ] That poor Pidgey! You should leave it alone!

Re: video;

[nanaimo_bar]

[Nanamo is usually not one to immediately jump at the word of friends, but Chibiusa's enthusiasm had her smiling a little. In truth, it would most likely be prudent to gain allies in this world if the natives required them to go travelling.]

Friends then, I thank thee for your enthusiasm Lady Tsukino. Ah, Lilira though will suffice, and mayhap we can speak longer.

What sort of land is this? There are curious beasts among us, some which I hath never seen before.

[nanaimo_bar]

[Lilira chuckled a little.]

In truth, t'would be a bit much for one of our caliber. Doth be held "Elite" for a reason.

[lunaball]

If you want me to just call you Lilira, then you should just call me Chibiusa! [ If there's one thing that's GREAT about this place, it's that she doesn't have to explain the 'chibi' part of her name.

She's been going by it for so long that it feels weird to just introduce herself as Usagi... oh, but she's being asked a question! She pauses to consider what all she knows (which, admittedly, isn't much) before answering. ]

It's a weird place, isn't it? They just let children wander around without any supervision. These creatures, the Pokemon, are supposed to protect us. Oh! What Pokemon did you start off with?

[ She goes off camera for a moment before returning with a very grumpy looking Sableye in her arms. ]

This one's mine! She kind of reminds me of my kitty back home, Diana, except she has crystals for eyes.

Re: video;

[nanaimo_bar]

Ah, tis a easy thing to do then. Chibiusa it is then. [Fortunately for her city, it was full of weirdos so a name like Chibiusa wasn't even worth a eyebat.

But then she nodded, and picked up her Meowth.]

This small creature here, I believe it is called a Meowth. Wandering alone however t'would terrify my servants. Let alone my guardian.

[Raubahn knew her well enough that Lilira could take care of herself. It was Papashan that lost his mind every time the Empress went out for a walk.]

video;

[lunaball]

Oh, it's like that, is it? [ Does she have a knowing look in her eyes? Seems like Chibiusa has some experience in that matter as she lowers her Pokemon, letting her roam free once more. ]

My guardians used to worry a lot about me too. [ In a mock 'adult' voice, she scolds herself: ] It's not fit for a lady to wander around by herself! What if you got hurt, Small Lady?

You just have to prove you're capable of taking care of yourself. I was able to prove that and now they just let me go wherever I want! [ ... more like she just does it and they have to kind of accept it. ]

Re: video;

[nanaimo_bar]

[Setting her Meowth down, Nanamo smiled in amusement at Chibiusa's statement.]

Ah, nobility, thy trappings are long and harsh for us who desire freedom. Papashan, as dear as he is, frets the moment I step out of my chambers. Raubahn however knows I desire my freedom from the day to day life.

It is a miracle they let mine friends visit since the uproar in Ul'dah months ago.
