comeatmibro | thirteenth fault; video/action for saffron

[ Miyuki's back on a roof somewhere in Saffron City, but this time, the weather is pleasant and the sun bright. She's actually lying on her stomach, her shirt dragged up over her shoulders, sunning her back. It's a few moments of this before the cameramon speaks up. ]

Ax!

[ The girl looks lazily over her shoulder, but one glimpse of the record light on the 'Gear has her scrambling to her feet and pulling her shirt down in the back, cheeks pinking. ]

Jeez, warn a girl, Axe-bro! I wasn't decent!

[ When she recovers from her embarrassment (which does take a moment), she sits back down, facing the 'Gear this time. ]

So since that crazy freakin' typhoon hit, like... right after I got here, I didn't get a chance to say it — [ She drags her bag closer and pulls her jacket out of it, holding it open to show the eight gym badges from Johto. ]

I beat your record, Mister Old Man. [ No, she never learned Roy's name. She has no plans to. ] Seven months, two weeks and four days. How's Kanto lookin' for you?

[ The feed cuts on her cheeky grin. ]

You completed your badges! Miyuki ... congratulations!

Hehehe, thanks, L-sis! It was nothing, really. [ Said with all the hubris of a ten-year-old. ]

[ Shaking her head. ] I may not be collecting badges ...

... but I certainly understand that what you have accomplished now is not nothing.

We~ell... it would be pretty hard, for someone who wasn't as awesome as me. [ Grinning. ] But I bet you could do it!

[ Chitose would be proud of her if he was still here. But Lacus doesn't say this. She didn't want to upset Miyuki in such a proud moment. ]

Maybe, but at the moment ... I want to take a break from battling. I don't think my heart is made to watch my Pokemon battle ...

Oh. [ A thoughtful pause. ] I dunno, I think most Pokémon like doing it, but I guess it bugs some people to see fighting at all. D'you not like fighting?

[ Shaking her head but doesn't say anything at first.

What could she say? She didn't feel right telling her that her father ... had died because of a war and had chosen to fight? ]

I don't think I could ever put my Pokemon in a fight without a tightening in my heart.

Got all your badges for this region, huh? Guess you're one step closer in findin' a way outta this place. Good on ya kid.

You really think getting all the badges is part of finding a way home? [ She looks attentive. ] I mean, like, I've heard people say that, but... isn't there anyone with all sixteen badges already?

[he shakes his head.] Not exactly, but this one is plausible and I haven't crossed it out just yet.

Huh. I guess it could be. Maybe it's got to do with the Elite Four. I've never heard of anyone battling them here. Has anyone even been to the Indigo Plateau?

Not to my knowledge. But you've been here longer then I have.

Yeah, I haven't heard anything like that, either. Maybe the Elite Four isn't even there. 'Cause I know there's people who played the games like I did, so they'd know to go find the Elite Four after they got their badges.

Seven months? Not bad.

[Riku smirks. That's... definitely less time than it took him, but that's because he kept getting held up in various towns.]

Might even be a record breaker for the whole region.

[ That sure as hell gets her attention. She perks up. ] Really?!

Er, I mean— I-I wouldn't be surprised. [ Mock-casually. ] I'm pretty good at this.

[Haha, he sees that mock casualness there, but he'll play along.]

Then maybe I should step it up. Can't be the last one to get all the Kanto badges.

Hehe. You got all your Johto badges already, too? How long'd it take you?

About a year, but only because I got held up for months at a time.

[Waiting for his friends, man. It can be a double-edged sword.]

Think I had a few level 100's by the time I got my second badge.

Wow, dude. [ Colour her impressed. ] I bet it was a cakewalk, huh?

Even my starter's not at level 100 yet.

You have quite the affinity for rooftops.

[SURE HASN'T FORGOTTEN THE THUNDERSTORM THING, NOPE.]

Usually safer up here. Less mugging.

[ And Miyuki hasn't forgotten the mugging thing, which was way less cool than the thunderstorm thing, in her opinion. ]

Less what?

[He may have missed that particular memo in the commotion.]

Mugging? M-u-g... g... i-n-g? [ Shut up, spelling is hard. ] You know, like when someone beats you up and steals your money?

[ Being a smartass, however, isn't. ]

Is that why you were on the roof the other day? Because someone robbed you?

[ Now she just looks uncomfortable. ]

Sort of? I mean, it... didn't happen, like, that day, but. I dunno, there was just a lot going on down on the ground, and there weren't any Pokémon or Rocket jerks on the roof.
