On going to route_29

[godaime]

Pokémon? [ Her voice rings incredulously. Seriously? She's going to catch them all? ] I don't have time for that! I have a village to run, and a war to win. I can't believe I'm going to get shipped off to some foreign land to farm Caterpie at such a crucial time like this. Nobody has time for that. 

[ And then the bad news is dropped on her. If her expression could get any more irritated, it'd become a tumblr reaction image favorite. ]

What do you mean I have some of my villagers there? And that they've lost faith in me?! [ WELL, she only seems to get angrier from here. Good luck with that. ] I guess I have no choice but to go in, but this better be quick! [ What's does a white rabbit and a hokage have in common...? ]

[Did someone say Pokémon?

Swimmer Melissa comes running up!]

I'm going to be first person to swim all the way around the world!

Go Starmie!

[Swimmer Melisa throws out her pokéball. Out pops a Starmie!]

YEEES OMG I JUST PLURKED ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

[godaime]

[ Tsunade doesn't know what the hell a pokémon battle is. At first, she just kinda stares at Starmie wondering what she's supposed to do with it.

So, um, she walks over to it. ]

I suppose this one is rather nifty looking. [ She crouches down to get at level with it. ] Hello, I'm Tsunade. It's nice to meet you two. [ ... And that dream is pretty lofty but... ] Around the world, eh? That's pretty impressive.

〜(￣▽￣〜)

[Starmie just kind of stands there, looking from Tsunade to its trainer and back.

As for Swimmer Melissa?

She staaaaaares.]

[godaime]

[ This is remotely unsettling. Tsunade just stares back, before looking at Starmie. She gingerly tries to touch one of the points in an attempt to shake its hand. ]

Um, it's a pleasure to meet you. Do you speak? [ She keeps half an eye on Melissa and her.... empty glances. ]

[Tsunade can easily shake one of those starfish arms, Starmie does not resist at all.

Swimmer Melissa continues to stare for a while longer before blurting out, as if Starmie had just been defeated.]

Oh no!

[She pulls out her pokeball and summons Starmie back.]

[godaime]

What's wrong? Is it injured? [ Tsunade looks slightly concerned for Starmie's well being as it goes back into that... small ball. ] Will it be okay inside there? It looks a bit cramped.

[avoideyecontact]

[Swimmer Melissa stares at Tsunade but does not seem to hear her.]

Shucks! Looks like I should go back to the training pool.

[And with that, she turns and starts jogging off.]

[godaime]

Wait a minute! Get back here and speak to me! [ Running after her. She wants to talk about pokémon! ]
