High Speed! as additional canon, considering route_29

First Nagisa, now me? ... Go play with him. I'm not your toy, and I don't need you. Leave.

You're still here? ... I'm not going to the Pocket Monster place. Take Nagisa. [He'd like the ghosts and bugs and new friends-- he'd be happy there. Happier than himself, Haru is sure. Damn mun for thinking Nagisa is 'more endearing and fun' while Haru himself is 'more interesting and has an unusual worldviiew'.]

No. I'm not training monsters for the Pokeathelon. I only swim free, and I don't teach.

But Haru-chan...!

We can swim together there!! There's all sorts of places to swim-!

[ wait...! ]

Your "mun" has one of me, too?

Yes, one of you. {Just as energetic, unfortunately.}

[wait]

[did you say water]

[isn't there an ocean in those Pokemon games?]

[if he swam in the ocean he wouldn't have to bother with teaching troublesome people and monsters]

Wow, that's so neat! Haru-chan and I living in the same "headspace"!

I'm almost jealous...! You two must swim together all the time, right?!

[ really, what's it like to share with a Haru-chan, he wonders. ]

[ and yes ]

Anyhow, haven't you ever played Pokemon before? There's water routes everywhere! Some cities are even coastal cities -- like Cerulean City, Vermillion City, and Cinnabar Island in Kanto, and Olivine City and Cianwood City in Johto, and --

[ ...you get the idea? ]

Ah. And that beautiful place you had to dive to get to, and the town floating in the sea.

[He didn't play any of the earlier games (too young for the originals and never bothered with the remakes) but he played the absolute hell out of Ruby when he was in early elementary school. Can you say 'really nice birthday gifts from guiltily absent parents to latchkey kid'? Also, he agreed with Team Aqua and got deeply invested in stopping Team Magma, no surprise there.]

Sharing with the other Nagisa is nice. But there are a lot of people here, so it's noisy all the time.

[ excited! ] -- Ah!! So you did know! Well, kind of.

[ Nagisa might have found them when his older sisters got bored of their copies. He played the hell out of most of them because BUGS and GHOSTS and CREEPY PLACES TO EXPLORE and SUPER CUTE CREATURES, LOTS OF WHICH COULD SWIM -- yeah. ]

Wait, that's right, you mentioned the "Pokeathelon"! I thought you were just talking to "them" [ your mun ] about that! Hm, but from what mine's said, I don't think they have places from the "newer" regions in there, though... just Kanto and Johto? The rest, we can't get to yet. But there's still all the old water routes and the like! You can swim and fish and everything! The Cerulean City gym even has an indoor pool! We might have to ask that gym leader before we can use it, though --

[ pauses for a minute now, to calm down and catch his breath! ]

...Is that so? That must be a pain for Haru-chan, huh? But at least you have me!

[ OBVIOUSLY he's the best one to share with, right? ]

It was a long time ago. [And it's not like he ever played again, either. Just the one 80-hour file.]

The Pokeathelon was Mun's idea-- something about the place being based around Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I don't care, because I'm not going. [He looks like he's being stubborn for the sake of being stubborn as opposed to actually meaning it, though.]

[Well, considering that the place includes the King of Hell and several other psychopaths/megalomaniacs bent on murder and/or destruction and/or world domination, and the rest are mostly military/vigilantes. Haru definitely could do worse for company. He likes Nagisa, he does, he just likes him a lot more when he's quiet. Which is never. In response to Nagisa's question, he just shrugs, though.]

[ Nagisa was about to reply to the "Heart Gold and Soul Silver" part, not minding the shrug, when ]

What?! You're not?! But it'd be so fun with Haru-chan there!...

[ pouting increased! Haru-chan's just saying that, right...? ]

They have a cute penguin Pokemon, even!

...Well, "she" said she still needs to write an "app" for me and figure out what to do with this -- other guy who used to be there along the way, but...

[ now he actually looks a bit distressed. ]

Ahh, but it'd fit so well with Haru-chan because we could swim whenever we wanted to...! And not even have to go to school.

[WHY IS YOUR SADNESS SO CONTAGIOUS. And such a compelling argument... Haru might be academically smart but he's pretty uninterested in actually attending school. And there's the ocean.]

[...would his parents notice? And maybe if he and Nagisa went, the rest of their friends would show up.]

I'll think about it.

[ yeah, Nagisa probably wouldn't miss school, either, provided he could still be with his friends -- ]

[ !! ...cue the sparkling eyes! ]

Really?!

Really really?!

[ aaaand the beaming smile. ]

Thanks, Haru-chan! I'll try to convince "her", too...!!

[ gdi Nagisa. ]

[how does this always happen with you]

[he never should have offered to trade swimsuits with you way back then]

[ because he's Nagisa ]

[ HE'D PROBABLY STILL ADMIRE HARU-CHAN FROM AFAR EVEN THEN.... ]

[ now he's just grinning and humming and contemplating on what he should name his (potential....?) Piplup. ]

[tbh he's probably going to end up with a Staryu named Silence]

[ n o p e ]

[ and even if he did he'd treat that Staryu just as well as he'd treat any of 'em (including Piplup) ]

[ because he's that nice a guy! ]

[ but would supposed Piplup be a boy or a girl, he wonders. SERIOUS FACE as he wonders this. ]

[nO I MEANT HARU WOULD HAVE A STARYU, can you imagine Nagisa giving his Pokemon lame semi-cryptic names that only make sense to weirdos like Haru.]

...do we get to choose the Pokemon we start with?

[He wonders if he can pick Kyogre. Not that he's seriously considering this or anything.]

[ ......maybe not lame names but he can be cryptic!! Sometimes! ]

[ but yes, yes, it would fit Haru much better. If anything, Nagisa would still find it cute like all the rest...! ]

[ bUT HARU-CHAN even if it's super fitting you can't start with legendaries!! ]

Hmm, apparently! Though it's a specific list, they tend to balance water types with the fire types and grass types... and the like!

But I don't think we can choose legendaries, which is kind of a bummer!

I want a Kyogre, or I'm not going.

[dammit Nagisa why did you give him an excuse]

...Wait, a Kyogre?

But Haru-chan, that is a legendary!

Is it because it relates to dolphins? [ but now he's grinning. ]

It's the spirit of the ocean.

[although the dolphin thing might be part of that]

Maybe you can catch one if you can't start with one!

Even if there's only one, Haru-chan can try!

[ Nagisa'll just encourage him a bit here...! ]

I'll do it.

[haru no]
