[Turns out, going backwards along the routes is much faster than spearheading the initial assault into the wilderness when your escorts of overleveled. Mafuyu is halfway to Cherrygrove, taking advantage of the sunlight while she still can to skip and hum as she makes her away down the path. Now's a good a time as any to check up on her charge, before she narrows the gap between them too much.]

im coming for you

[That's not a vaguely threatening message at all. Jack had told Rhys she's headed his way, right?]

[ The message Rhys gets is almost enough to scare him out of his wits. Jack told him to get moving to a place called...what was it, Violet or something? But has he left his house? Nope! He doesn't plan to. Bad things are going to happen if he meets Jack again. He can feel it in his gut.

Thank god one hand is robotic, because his nails would be gone. ]

Listen, it's real nice of you and all but you don't have to do this.

You can just go to Jack and say I didn't come.

[It would have been better if he had lied and claimed he's already on his way. Upon reading the message, Mafuyu just frowns and quickens her pace. He wouldn't be the first person she's had to drag along full-body, but she was hoping for someone to walk along and talk about, I dunno, the only common ground between them she supposes is stories of Jack's glory days. He can talk about his hero! That'll get him to open up, she's sure of it.]

where are you now? your so slow i have no choise but to come get you. you gotta come w/ me! we cant leave w/o you!

are you in trouble? food? money? theres a kid near cheerygrove who owes me a favor, tell him my name and hell help you out

I'm, uh. At my house

[ he probably should have lied about that, too... ]

But why? Just say, I mean, I don't know. Just tell him I died

Probably wouldn't upset him. Seriously.

No I'm not in trouble or anything but still you really don't have find me. Honestly don't worry about it

the house in new bark? you havent even left new bark???? damn your hopelesss...but dont worry, i got you. you cant die in new bark- thats just sad. hed never beleive it

just

wait in new bark i guess. ill meet you there, i know where the house is. maybe i can convinse jack to meet us there insted of goldenrod, well have a party at your place

No no that's perfectly fine. Just leave me here. I can take care of myself seriously I can

OKay wait wait wait wait what party

Jack probably won't want to he's. Uh that's just not a good idea okay? not good

you can take care of yourself when your with us! you cant stay there forever! are you still scared? of jack? some mean pokemon on the road?? whats there to be scared of??? your such a chicken! pansy! baldy!

I can take care of myself here and I can stay here as long as I want to

Also it's going to take a lot more than a bunch of little names to get me out of this house. How is baldy even a name seriously

You should go get Athena she and Jack are real good friends

baldy baldy baldy baldy baldy baldy baldy baldy

ill drag you out if i have to! is athena there with you? jack says im not supposed to meet with her, so tell her i say hi

OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH

I'd like to see you try kid and no she's not I don't know where she is

Oh. Alright. I'll tell her

[ he tried ]

yay<3 give me a couple days to get there! what do you want to eat? i can pick stuff up from the town before yours! what pokemon do you have? is it cute? are you training? whats its name?

Awesome. Just awesome. Seriously though take your time

I have an Elgyem and my name is Rhys.

ive never seen an elgyem before. you can show me when i get there, and ill show you all my pokemon too! weve got all the time in the world after we get out of here. itll be even more awesome, youll see. have you been outside before? theres this bright light in the sky, its call the Sun.

I can show you and yes I've seen the sun

[ This girl wasn't all that bad. It's kind of hard to see around the fact that she was totally awestruck by Jack, but hey. Rhys had been too, so he can understand. ]

What other pokemon do you got? Are they like collectors things or what are they even here for?

theres lots of sun outside you know!! if you just take a step outside. maybe two or three or a hundred, this way, itd make my trip faster. theres sun and me and jack and lots of other pokemon too!

right now ive got a worm and a goat and a turtle a bird and two dogs. and other ones that i cant carry around with me but when i get to jack's place theyll prob live there. pokemon are for... idk its different for different people. theres all sorts of different ones and you can train them or keep them as pets. for me i guess theyre company, cause its just me on my own right now. your lucky bc you have jack. and athena. and me!

Yeah I know there's lot of sun outside and
Oh I see what you're trying to do.

WHy don't you come to New Bark Town and take a load off when you get here? If you know where my house is I can make you something to eat. Maybe take a nap or something. Especially if this trip is going to take days. That's a lot on a person.

Yeah! Ha ha. Real lucky let me tell you. So lucky.

[ he'll keep his lucky stream as long as jack doesn't know what's actually going on in regards to hyperion right now. ]

So uh. How long is it going to take you to get here again?

i dunno how long itd take, couple days maybe. less than that, if you leave the house hint hint hint! would you beleive me if i said it took a whole month to get from where you are to where i am now? a month!!!! last months traveling was terible- you have no idea how lucky you are.

its lots of walking around here but im used to it now cause thats basically what i do all day. i wouldnt say no to a bowl of hot soup thouh! what can you cook? eggs? meat? was there a garden behind the hous?

heh i can see why jack likes you, your both real nice people. he offered me food too

Well uh I hurt my leg, so.

A month? What took so long? Bad weather?

Well uh I can make grilled cheese. And breakfast, I can make that. Uh. What else do you like because I can always try. You are walking all the way down here to meet me anyway.

Man I wouldn't say Jack likes me. Nooot really.

i like cheese! and breakfast!!!! ill eat anything, im not picky. except no carrots. but the only food i can carry around and eat while i walk is travle food like nuts and dried fruits and bread so anything would be good. i havent had home cooked food in forevr!

but ouch your leg. you shouldve said thats why you cant come. i can probably carry you, or one of my pokemon can. well see when we get there. it shouldnt take long bc the roads are clear now. last month there was a giant elephant w/ huge tusks that tried to stab anyone who tried to leave new bark so everyone had to just sit around like you are now. bunch of trees were uprooted and everything was a mess for travling unless you like climbing trees and wading throug mud.

anyways dont worry about jack. he definitly likes you. enough to consider you family. he wont let you go.

Okay so anything without carrots is good? I think I can whip up something for you then. Or I can try. No guarantees I have honestly never cooked for myself once

Uhhhh no no don't worry about that honestly don't. I'm sure it'll be fine in a day or something maybe I just came at a really really bad time. Maybe I just pulled a muscle or something I don't know

Were the elephant things pokemon? That sounds pretty terrifying right now. I hope they're all not scary like that or I might just stay in my house.

Oh great! Awesome. That's just what I wanted to hear. [ thank god you can't detect sarcasm great with computers ] Cool cool. Great. Cool.

thats right! anything w/o carrots. but dont worry if you cant cook something good: i know how to boil water, i got your back. the elephant things were pokemon but you dont have to worry about them either, im strong enough now and ill protect you from anything we come acros. you got your own pkmn too. and the cat- has jack sent it to you yet?

Thanks. Good to know you got my back and all. For cooking anyway.

You mean Money Shot? Yeah I got him. He's

[ how many times rhys has tried to get his name changed, he doesn't know. ]

He's great. Super friendly. Great collar.

I just gotta call Jack and thank him.

[ Which is absolutely not going to happen. ]

you named him money shot........

but good, jackll be glad to hear that! i got one too, a meowth! except not from jack- and mines not as frendly and doesnt have a coller. when you call him say hi t o him from me

I didn't! Jack did

I'll be sure to tell him when I call

[ spoiler alert: he never called ]

Thanks for all your help. I might just go to Violet and meet you up that way, but I don't know yet

ha i prob shouldve known that. jacks naming sence sucks. you can name it sometihng else, itll learn. and prob be happyer for it

let me know when you decide. im headed your way anyway so if you feel up to walking id' just run into you sooner than later
