1) Verdant Forest

The past few weeks, training's had to take a back seat for Kanji and his crew. Sorting out the store, organizing and making masks for Lenna's party, and the whole dream thing... yeah. (School had been crammed in there now and then. Somehow.)

In any case... time to make up for lost ground.

He's in the forest, not far from the city gates, out with some of his crew. And for some of them, it looks like change is afoot.

A Sylveon sits by his side, 'ribbons' waving slightly, as he ponders just how to give something accessories that already comes with them. In front of him, his Axew and Golett are sparring: he yells encouragement at the pair.

"C'mon, guys! You can do it!"

2) In Union

Oh, hell yeah.
This is more like it. Watch out below, Union.

Rocketing through the skies, here we see one boy and his giant mechanical ghost, Kanji holding onto and held tight by his newly-evolved Golurk. Sure, he's flown on Pokémon in the past, but never one one he's raised himself. It's been a hell of a journey, too...

So, here he is, here they are, swooping around the place - leaving a trail of cheers and apologies behind (and probably some destruction, too, as the Golurk gets the hang of steering its own flight)... and okay, eventually, they'll be landing.

[ Later, once they've landed, this particular Skarmory lands nearby and struts over in the awkward way all birds tend to walk. ]

I commend you on your flying—despite a few obvious setbacks.

[ cough that cabbage stand cough ]

[Eh, who needs cabbages anyway?]

Heh. [Kanji grins, Roku gives a bit of a shrug.] Yeah, we ain't ever done it before.

[First day. Just evolved. And Kanji actually looks at the Golurk for that - man, actual words out of it? That's rare.]

[ Metalhawk hops closer with a flutter from his wings, steel feather tips digging thin streaks in the dirt. ]

Your technique could use some honing, but considering the circumstances...as I said—commendable. You were an impressive sight.

[ He's serious, not everyday you see someone zooming around on the back of a massive metal man. ]

Well, we try, huh? He figured he could do it, so...

[Sometimes, you've just got to do these things in style. Kanji's still grinning.]

[ He nods. Above, a Tranquill rides an updraft, looping lazy circles through branches and leaves. Metalhawk spares it a glance before orienting his sharp beak back to the two. ]

...-So next time you'll consider emptier roads?
