Ienzo | Kingdom Hearts

[nobodyschemes]

[Ignoring the weirdness that is...literally everything about this situation, Ienzo has another problem to try and solve.

Namely: why his little Ralts either ran crying from the room when he entered, ran crying to his knees when he entered, or otherwise seemed terribly emotionally unstable. It was worrisome and he was actually concerned for the little thing's health, which of course was yet another issue to be addressed at some point but after he figures out what's wrong with Ib.

They're sitting in a quieter corner of the park, Ienzo on the grass more or less level with his Ralts who is oddly clingy today. Ib seems reluctant to let go of Ienzo's arm no matter how hard he tries to get him to let go]

Ib, please...

[Nope. The Ralts starts trying to climb up to his shoulder next. Ienzo sighs]

Hey frand

[notachocobo]

[While Cloud hasn't had to deal with any overly emotional pokemon, he did have a couple that were a handful. And one in particular was just...she was a pain in the ass. Just like the person that had inspired her name.

How was she a pain in the ass, you ask? Well, for one, she liked to wander around and try to steal from people.

Which is why Ienzo and Ib will find themselves suddenly confronted by a small meinfoo wearing a bandanna around it's head, poised to fight with it's paws up and eyes narrowed--]

Materia.

[Finally catching up, Cloud wastes no time in scooping the little thing up just as it goes to lunge at Ib, the blonde looking overly exasperated and apologetic all at once.]

Sorry.

omg did you really

[nobodyschemes]

[The Ralts flees into Ienzo's arms, clinging to their trainer. Ienzo frowns at the Meinfoo and turns that frown up to the blond]

What was she after? --Ib, calm down.

YEP BD

[notachocobo]

She was probably going to try and steal treats.

[He sounds extremely tired--or maybe it's just that he's that frustrated with having to deal with this struggling little mess of a fighter pokemon.]

It's been her goal as of late.

[Drifting up behind Cloud comes a rather annoyed look Honedge with a Hoppip, Eevee and Hoothoot in tow.]

She didn't hurt your pokemon did she?

bless

[nobodyschemes]

No. Ib is just highly volatile. I was attempting to learn why when your Pokémon decided to attack us. Don't you keep her on a leash or something, knowing she's so wild?

[notachocobo]

[Cloud just gives the other a dry look.]

I tried. She spilled free. And she can get out of her pokeball.

[nobodyschemes]

A collar? No one can spill out of a collar, after all, not like one can a harness or something similar. Or maybe a more durable Pokéball? Surely they make them.

[notachocobo]

If it was that easy I would have done it already. Trust me.

[As he says it he turns and kneels down to set Materia down, the Meinfoo immediately making to run but she's swiftly scooped up by Cloud's Honedge, the sword holding her in his ribbon hand for now.]

[nobodyschemes]

Your sword seems to have her under control, at least.

[He gestures to the sword. His Ralts cowers]

[notachocobo]

Buster's good at controlling all of them.

[Starting to straighten up again, Cloud pauses and makes a grab for his Eevee because he knows that look--]

Gongaga no!

[The sly little thing bounds right past his master and hops a circle around Ienzo, making a happy little chirp of a sound as he does.]

[nobodyschemes]

[Ienzo and Ib just sort of stare at the bouncy Eevee]

Is he supposed to do that?

[notachocobo]

I have no idea, honestly. He's the only one of his kind I've seen--and he was given to me.

[Well, technically he bought the egg but whatever.]

They all have different natures and characteristics.

[nobodyschemes]

I would assume so, they're not human by an stretch of the imagination, but they're very clearly sentient. If a dog or a cat has personality, I imagine creatures capable of speech would be too.

[Ienzo is getting all researcher again]

[islandshore]

[Here's a face that might be familiar... well, ignoring the fact that he's a few years older than Ienzo recalls. Still, silver hair's rather distinct, and his choice of attire still favors yellows and blues.

It's surprising to see such a timid little Pokémon. Not that they don't exist; he's worked with a few himself, but most of the Pokémon Riku encounters in passing seem more cheerful, competitive, and outgoing.

Curious, he makes a steady approach, trailed by a Charizard who's at least wise enough to keep his distance. A seven foot reptile and a timid little psychic type? Probably not the best combo.]

They sure can be a handful, huh? Well, at least yours is still pretty small.

[He's acting a bit casual, but for someone behind on the times, it's to be expected, really.]

[nobodyschemes]

[Ienzo tenses when Riku approaches, and it has nothing to do with his Charizard. Ib hides further in Ienzo's arms and this time he does not fuss at them]

They are, yes. How did you find me?

[Thankful for his humanity or not, Ienzo does not like Riku. He killed Lexaeus and his replica killed him.]

[islandshore]

[Huh, that's odd. Why the sudden tension? Is this guy antisocial or something? His brow arches and he cocks his head to the side.]

Just passing through. You trying to hide or something?

[Either he's feigning cluelessness or he doesn't know who he's dealing with. Either way, it's still a bit awkward.]

[nobodyschemes]

...do you really not recognize me, Riku? Did the castle witch take your memories too?

[islandshore]

...Not exactly.

[Hoo boy. He lets out a sigh, reaching for his forehead.]

It's more that I'm from the past, and I just haven't met you yet. Or visited any castles, for that matter.

[nobodyschemes]

[Ienzo studies Riku for a moment, eyebrow raised.]

You're telling the truth, but you look older.

[islandshore]

...Time's kind of messy here.

[Which probably sounds absurd, so he's quick to add--]

Long as we're here, the passage of time doesn't matter back home. It's just kind of... stopped, I guess, and somehow people can drop in from all across the timeline.
