17th roar [ video + action for cianwood ]

[adamant]

Another one of those weekends.

[ Leon doesn't sound entirely unhappy, mostly just...tired. Resigned. Beside him is Skarmory, looking distracted, but certainly more chipper than her trainer. ]

Don't know how we got to Cianwood, but I decided it'd be best not to let it go to waste. The gym here uses Fighting-type pokémon, so Skarmory didn't have any trouble.

[ Skarmory chirrs, satisfied. Leon scratches her throat absently. He holds up the Storm Badge, watching it glint in the light before tucking it away. ]

She can Fly, now, which means she can carry people on her back. Or she's supposed to.

[ He remembers the last time all too clearly; he'd wound up in the Sprout Tower moat, along with Kay. Luckily, that hadn't been deep, but this was the ocean. And Leon can't swim, but he's not sure if he wants to just accounce it publicly. ]

Is there anyone in Cianwood who'd be willing to give Skarmory a test drive? Someone...smaller.

Thanks.

[private text message to Minnie Mouse]
I'll try to be back in Olivine soon. I apologize for the delay.

[[ ooc. Sorry for spamming everyone's flists! Leon is looking for someone smaller than he is and ideally WHO CAN SWIM to make sure Skarmory can, in fact, fly safely without killing herself and her passenger! If he can't, he'll have to do it himself. :xa ]]

I...well. Guess there's nothing else to say then, is there?

...Other than that being in the air on such a small bird is rather terrifying. He might have been strong enough, but I still felt as though any small gust of wind would push me off.

...I'll take your word for it, Cecil.

I doubt you'd have that problem with a Skarmory, at least.

[video]

[adamant]

I hope not. Do you know how long it takes to get to Olivine from here?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Four or five days, perhaps? How fast can a Skarmory fly?

[video]

[adamant]

Pretty fast, but not with me on board. [ He looks out at the water, as if weighing his options. ] It might be less problematic to take the ferry.

[paladinlost]

But if it leaves in a few days, flying would probably be faster.

[video]

[adamant]

Doesn't it leave every day?

Besides, I could never ask Skarmory to fly for four days straight.

Does it? Considering the few inhabitants in Cianwood, the demand must not be very high...

I have to admit, the few patches of rocks I've seen do not look like they'd allow for a comfortable rest.
