this is not a spaceship

The Hiver Warrior Tk'tlz expected to continue being on a spaceship for the next nine days, then serve on the personal guard of Princess Hllzt, a very prestigious position. It doesn't understand the gates work, it just knows that they take ships across the black sea in an instant. This is the first time it will experience gate travel, so it is waiting attentively, curiously, at the moment of transfer.


This is not a spaceship.

"Yep. You'd be very useful on a perimeter. Humans can't directly fight 'mon ourselves, so we keep them out of places we live as much as we can, and only go out with our own teams for defense."

"Some people use weapons, but 'mon are easier to learn to use and more culturally standard and cheaper, and less likely to actually kill the wild ones, which is usually considered preferable."

"Well, we can try the nearest town without me having to fly anywhere, if you don't mind a long walk. Maybe we'll get lucky."

"I gave you everything I brought. It would take maybe fifteen minutes if I let Fireflower gallop it, but you don't go that fast, so a few hours."

Bella puts Juu in her ball and urges Fireflower along. She easily catches up to the Hiver. "Fireflower is fast."

"We're actually going the wrong way," Bella says. "Follow me." She steers Fireflower around.

Yep.

They arrive in town. "I can buy you some more sugar and fruit - the sugar's cheaper, would you rather have more of that than the fruit?"
the_very_best: (e ~ ah-huh)

[personal profile] the_very_best 2015-11-05 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmm, I wonder if you could eat a whole egg. You probably could. I can afford another bag of sugar and an egg, but I'm not rich, you're huge, and I have other 'mon to feed."

[personal profile] the_very_best 2015-11-05 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, that's normal, but 'mon still need to eat a full meal at least once a day even if they're in their balls the entire rest of the time. If you can wait a few hours we can try the local rangers and if we have to go to another town I can put you away, fly there, try them, and feed you an egg and a bag of sugar if that doesn't work either."
the_very_best: (h ~ well then)

"It might take a few hours to convince them even if they eventually agree they want you."

[personal profile] the_very_best 2015-11-05 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
"So do you need to eat before we try that, because of all the running, or are you good for now?"
the_very_best: (d ~ onward)

"Well, water's cheap. There's a fountain over here, you're allowed to drink from it." She nudges Fireflower along until they're at a fountain in a city square.

[personal profile] the_very_best 2015-11-05 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yup. It's a very exotic Pokémon but its trainer is right there and everything is normal.

"What is that?" someone asks Bella.

"You know, I'm not entirely sure I can pronounce it," Bella says.

"Where'd you catch it?"

"I didn't. I traded for it."
