[ Yukari sighs, but it looks like the wild pokémon isn't going to be getting up anytime soon. ]
Well... it looks like its done for now...
Maybe we'll get lucky and won't get attacked again on the way there? [ She totally doesn't believe they're going to be that lucky, but she could always hope. ]
[ She doesn't argue about it, she's not stupid, after all. Yukari goes to follow after Athrun without complaint, though she doesn't recall her Bulbasaur to the ball just yet, the small creature happily trotting up alongside her. ]
Hopefully once we make it there, someone can tell us something we can do to avoid getting attacked...
[ This wasn't like back home where she needed to get stronger. Avoiding fights was more than okay with her. ]
I feel the same way. Experience is a valuable tool in life, regardless of which path you choose. Even in battle, as I've learned.
There is one other thing that concerns me, though. We each have one Pokémon, and they have different types. What happens when we start running into Pokémon with an advantage? I can't see my Charmander faring well against a Water-type, for instance.
... Or my Bulbasaur against a fire type. That's not going to work out well for us either.
[ She frowns, thinking about it for a few moments. Clearly there had to be something. Back home, Minato could use multiple personas to cover their weaknesses, but other than that they were pretty much out of luck. ]
Maybe we'll meet some other people who's pokémon can handle types that ours can't?
[ ... That was a very good point. Yukari looks over at her Bulbasaur, wondering about it. ]
Well, that wouldn't be the strangest thing I've seen. But... somehow I don't think sunlight's going to be enough. It might get some from it, but it does have a mouth. If he didn't need to eat he wouldn't have that.
[Athrun's just relaxing for the moment. He may not look it, but his feet hurt from all that walking.]
It's still larger than Pallet Town was, and at least they have places to stay. I mean, I wouldn't want to stay at a house with a woman who thinks she's my mother.
[ Yukari wouldn't want to stay with her mother period, but she doesn't say that part out loud. There were more important things to worry about.]
Yeah. I guess we should figure out what we're going to do about that... Somehow I don't think they're going to take yen here. [ Not that she had enough on her for a room anywhere in the first place. ]
Right. I'm not sure they'll take my currency, either, unfortunately.
[Most of Athrun's fortune was in bank accounts and investments, but he did carry a thick wad of cash in his wallet in the event of an emergency. Not that it does him any good if he's in a place where Orb currency isn't accepted and there's no place to exchange it for a currency that is.]
I'd say we'd probably have to find work, but that would conflict if we decide to keep traveling.
At the same time, we need money. But maybe we can find out some more information on how to go from here. This place is larger than the previous town, after all.

...But that being said, it would be nice. I want to get to the next city before dark.
[Back to walking. This time, it's Athrun who is picking up the pace.]

[ Hey, if it worked for people and Personas in Tartarus, why shouldn't it work for pokémon? ]

[He's expecting something like pet stores or breeders. not having to go out and catch your own from the wild.]
no subject
[And that brings up another consideration... ]
... I don't suppose that professor actually told you what these guys eat, did he?
no subject
Hopefully that's something else we'll find out. I'd assume it's based on what lizards eat, considering we both have reptiles.
...Though come to think of it, your Bulbasaur might get what it needs from sunlight. It's got that bulb on its back, after all.
no subject

Maybe. Biology's never been my specialty. Add another question to the list, then.
no subject
[ Though that stuff was pretty basic bio stuff... then again, who knew how Pokémon actually worked?]
But I'm sure someone here should be able to answer it. They can't all be as obtuse about things, right?
no subject
no subject
[ Hopefully they'd be better at explaining their normal to them than she had been with explaining where she came from to Athrun. ]
... But while we're talking about normal, do you think there's normal animals here, or just the pokémon?
no subject
[Athrun isn't willing to go vegetarian, either. Meat is too important to a balanced diet for him.]
no subject
... Let's not think about that and just get over to that other town already.
[ ...It was still just as far away as it was before, Yukari. ]
no subject
[With that, things continue to proceed as they have been. Several hours later, they finally reach their destination -- Viridian City.]
no subject
But now that they were here she couldn't help but notice something. ]
This place doesn't really seem that different from that last town we were in. I was expecting something a bit more like a city back home...

... Well, we definitely can't stay here. It's not like a way home is just going to magically show up in this town.
[ Not that it's going to be easy to find that anywhere but at least if they were moving they had a better chance of learning something. ]
no subject
no subject
[ She sighs, looking around for a moment before she notices a pretty decent sized building. ]
... Well, if we want answers this "Pokémon Center" is probably as good a place as any to start.
