Ready Your Weapons

[singularjustice]

Who: N and anyone!
Location: Forest
Time: Morning.
Style: Either-or!
Status: Open to all!

There is a clearing not too into the forest that has obviously gotten some abuse in the past. It sits on the bottom of a hill and much of the vegetation has been burned away; the hill itself looks as if it has been gouged on occasion by something very large.

Right now, it may be obvious what the cause may have been: a large white dragon sits on the edge, though at the moment she seems contented to lounge on her belly, eyes half-closed. Nothing nearly so traumatic as destroying part of the hill is going on right now; instead she is watching over her trainer with a much smaller beast.

N has a sword in hand, though the scabbard is still on it, and he is all but dancing around, blocking as his Zorua lunges at him, swiping at him again and again.

It is all very serious until the fox Pokemon apparently has had enough. The Zorua jumps up and grabs ahold of the scabbard, pulling down on it with a playful growl.

"H-hey! This is not tug of war!" N protests, but he ends up laughing as he tries to wrest the sword away from him.

[It is perhaps the path of burned vegetation that led Yukari to the clearing. She's a little curious about it, though she did not suspect that Reshiram -- or N would be waiting for her once she followed it. She has to smile, upon seeing the scene, though dares not interrupt them.

She simply watches as Zorua tugs at the sword, folding her arms.]

Need some help there?

[singularjustice]

Huh? Oh! Yukari! I think we're -- hey!

[ N stumbles back as Krishna suddenly lets go, the fox Pokemon spinning to bound over to Yukari excitedly. ]

[tsundyne]

W-Whoa!

[The fox takes her by surprise, admittedly. She watches as Krishna approaches, bending down to greet him when he reaches her feet.]

Hey there--

[singularjustice]

[ The Zorua sniffs her hand eagerly; he is extremely friendly with humans, unlike some of N's more wary Pokemon. ]

Oh, have you not met Krishna before?

[tsundyne]

Mmm, I'm not sure, really. I think I've met a couple of Zoruas now, but...

[Derp herp she can't really tell them apart...this one is very friendly, though, yes!]

[singularjustice]

Well, I have two -- Minato's is their brother! Hilbert has one as well. There used to be one that ran around on his own, but he disappeared...

[ N frowns slightly to remember that. ]

[tsundyne]

Yeah -- I've met both Minato's and Hilbert's, actually.

[She frowns, thinking of the headphones that got ruined. Heh, and the third Zorua as well.

She wonders...]

...I met one that could talk, too, once. Could that be the one you're talking about?

[singularjustice]

Yes, that's right. He lived with us for a while; he was always looking for his Meema.

[tsundyne]

[Yukari nods, remembering him fairly well.]

I haven't seen him in a while now, but...he really missed you a lot when you disappeared.

[singularjustice]

...I miss him too, now that he is gone.

[ A frown flickers across N's face. He has lost a lot of friends, even though he has gained many, due to the nature of this place. ]

[tsundyne]

[She notices the frown, but tries to smile, thinking of something positive to say.]

He actually told me I should get to know you better, when we spoke.

[Not that she wasn't planning to in the first place, but. Still worth mentioning.

She wonders if she should tell N about how he transformed into him, too—]

[singularjustice]

...really?

[ That surprises N; he did not expect such a recommendation. ]

Did he say why?

[tsundyne]

...I-I actually don't remember.

[Yukari looks sheepish. And then decides to tell him after all.]

But, he looked like you at the time. At least for a while...y'know, transformed and everything. Apparently he couldn't get rid of his tail, so I figured him out.

[Not to mention he couldn't quite speak like N. BUT YEAH, that's when he transformed back into the fox : |b]

[singularjustice]

...he pretended to be me?

[ Even more surprises. ]

Nobody told me about that.

[tsundyne]

Yeah... [Oops?] I guess it never came up.

[Yukari scratches her head, feeling a bit guilty now for sitting on something like this for so long. Though it wasn't exactly intentional...

She hadn't thought about it in quite some time.<.i>]

He told me a bit more about his powers at the time, too. I-It was kind of strange...being able to talk to him.

[She's not used to that.]
