Thread: Pokemon: A Trainer's Crutch (LilGunner/BennyQ)

It was quite fortunate Kaya did not find his joke to be morbid and even knocked off her own sardonic remark, which had Aydin give her a smile. Quick wit, pretty features, was there anything Kaya couldnt do? He did however shake his head at her preference of open spaces over the cities. Until you want certain amenities. It gets lonely out here. And though we get some excitement, it isnt the right kind of excitement, you know? Aydin said as Kaya prepared the pot for the stew. Who wanted to fight every day of their life? Aydin had lived that life when adventuring. Now he found a good niche where he could relax and live an orderly, routinely life. It felt better that way. Some centralization, some foundation, it was good for him. And the workit paid well, even if he didnt exactly agree. But it would ultimately be people like Kaya who get the end result, the Pokemon purchased through our store-front vendors. And I can trust them to take proper care of them. Wisdom dictates I should keep Typhlosion in his Pokeball for that reason. I just cant bring myself to do it though. Aydin said with a half hearted shrug. Well if the house burned down, it did. It seemed an eventuality though out here. If not by his own Typhlosion then by something else. Maybe King Poliwrath would flood the lakeside or wild Onyxs would tunnel beneath, collapsing the foundation. Aydin would simply have to pack up and move somewhere else, a mile in some direction, and start all over. The work had to continue. The kettle steamed and the ingredients boiled and mingled together. He watched Kaya interact with her Pokemon a moment before she agreed to his offer of a drink. He flicked his eyebrows at her hesitation, not quite moving as she didnt seem sure. Was it because she didnt drink or because she didnt expect it? A harmless vice, he figured, especially if done in moderation. Prioritizing the important things huh? I dont blame you. He chuckled to her remark. He fetched two glass cups first and pulled a bottle from another cupboard. It was unmarked, but the amber liquor shone in the light indicating what it was. Good stuff. He poured two cups and set one before her at the table. They had time before the food was ready. He listened to her suggestion as he took a sip, the explosive taste burning down his throat but giving him a warm, fuzzy sensation all the same. I might take you up on that. Whos going to judge? He grinned to her offer of using her shampoo and such. She was certainly an expert in that, he wouldnt complain. But Aydin would give her a very pointed look when she expressed her desire to go to Silvertown. Tired of me already? Wanting to get away so soon? He questioned her, raising his cup to sip again but when he lowered it, the smile he was holding back was finally revealed. He was only joking. Go at the end of the week if you like. I got plenty of garments myself but thanks for the offer. Youre welcome to a few choice sweaters and jackets too if you like. Save some money. Aydin offered in return, before glancing to the window. How fast do you think your Rapidash could take you? I never really ridden a Pokemon before. He scratched the side of his chin as he gazed up a moment in thought. He had a few who could carry him. Why hadnt he never done it? I hear with Rapidash the flames wont harm a rider they trust. I couldnt do the same with Typhlosion. He gets enraged once and flames spring up all from his back. I wouldnt want to get caught in that. He chuckled, recalling a few burns he had gotten accidentally. He knocked back the rest of his drink and got up to check the kettle, leaving her with the implication of catching up or not. He prepped bowls and utensils and transferred the stew to another, cooler pot which could sit on the table. There was plenty to go around. Ill help you with dinner for the Pokemon after. My work went fine so I got a little free time. Youll still get your pay. He said as he poured her a dish. How was the drink? They have a lounge or two in Silvertown as well, if you like a little variety. I didn't really get into it until I started living here. Everyone needs a little helper now and then. Especially with my lot out there. He said, referring to his Pokemon.
