◓ 8th Catch [Written/Action]

[Action]

[Green has skipped out on training, over the past few days, keeping himself busy with taking notes and giving his Pokémon a break.

He will, however, be bugging his fellow Pokémon trainers, both the ones new to Pokémon and the ones from Pokémon worlds, with exception to Masaomi. He's got quite a few people he needs to talk to. He'll find them wherever they may usually be spending their day, unless they're not seeing anyone.]

[Written: Filtered from Masaomi]

I don't like to be vague and ask pointless questions, but for what reason do people gather strength in your world?

I've had a poor conversation and need to have a better grasp of overall context.

Y-yeah. Her name's Ikki. She got a Pokemon that belonged to a boy named Chien after he left. It's a... I think it's called a Swellow, and his name is Soren.

[Voice]

[cooltrainer]

I was wondering where Soren went. I'm glad someone is taking care of him.

Who's training Ikki?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Even with the things I don't understand yet about Pokemon, I'm definitely glad that the Pokemon has someone to look out for him. She's very nice and patient with him.

She's been learning from a friend of ours who knows the other Pokemon trainers and has his own Pikachu - Masaomi. He gives her lots of little lessons when he's not on missions and stuff!

I'm currently retraining Masaomi.

How old is Ikki? Or, what sort of training style does she currently have? Maybe she'll like Blue or Yellow--

[Voice]

[cooltrainer]

[...Blue.]

...Yellow would be a good teacher for a beginner.

[We don't need more mischievous girls.....]

[For a moment, Aang wonders if Green was getting a bug on his head.]

Oh - y-you're retraining him? [He didn't know that was a thing. He didn't really consider that Masaomi did or would have needed to be trained himself to be a trainer in the first place.] Well... Ikki's seven right now. And from the lessons I've watched, Masaomi sets up situations in the Battle Dome, and Ikki's got to work with Soren to solve them. Like one time I watched them herd Pokemon into a greenhouse! They didn't do the best and gotta learn to work together better, but I'm still proud of her.

...Yellow would? I talked to her when she was selling lemonade with Gold, but I didn't know she had Pokemon.

[Voice]

[cooltrainer]

Then Yellow would be a very good teacher for her. She's from my world, and she's been able to pull her weight. She's more reliable than most people are.

She'll take good care of Ikki, and if anyone can teach a child to love Pokémon, it's her.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang feels that might not be too hard, with the way Ikki seems to have a default unconditional love for all living beings, but this still gives him a very good feeling.]

Wow, really? That sounds great! I'll just have to talk to her in person sometime soon. And I should clear things up with the others, too.

[Voice]

[cooltrainer]

The others?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Well Ikki should decide who she'd want to learn from! One of us should tell Masaomi, soon. And... I'd like to be able to tell Katara. We make lots of decisions for Ikki together, so she should know. [A frown.] Except that she's kind of... not herself right now.

[Voice]

[cooltrainer]

Right. I'll talk to Masaomi, when I next train with him.

...This Katara, you mean? I'd say to at least have Ikki and Yellow meet, and maybe Katara should meet Yellow as well. There shouldn't be any objection.

[Yellow's so gentle and sweet-natured, Green can't imagine anyone disapproving of her for something like the task in question.]

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Y-yeah, Katara's different right now. Hopefully not for much longer. I don't think she'll have any problems either, I just wanna make sure everyone knows what's going now. But meeting up with Yellow sounds good for now. And I'll keep in touch.
