Day 2 - Double evolution; action

[at_too_low]

[Today, some people on the streets of Union might encounter a rather worried-looking boy (or a young man, depending on your point of view), running around, obviously searching for something or someone. He also seems to take great care not to bump into people or touch anything metallic - and if you look closer, his hair is practically standing on end (at least the hat helps hide that) and the air sparks and crackles around him sometimes. Uh, probably it's a good idea to keep some distance away from him.

And what he's looking for is--

Nyoom!

Some other (or even the same) people on the streets of Union might be startled by something suddenly whirring past them. It's vaguely white-ish in colour and oval in shape, and--and it's a Togetic, obviously enjoyed the newly acquired Flying type. It zooms around, not paying much attention to what or who it almost bumps into - you can actually hear a kind of high-pitched... giggling? For someone who evolves with the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP, it certainly doesn't seem concerned enough with its trainer to even come near him, if you exclude zooming past him to tease him]

Ack--Togepi, come back here! Er, should I even still call her-- Togetic, come back here! We need to at least check-- yes I can see you're okay, but still! Togetic!

[... Yeah, the poor guy is getting pretty exhasperated. Everyone is welcome to help him get his Pokemon under control, help his Pokemon get MORE out of control, or just watch and laugh.]

Congrats, man.

[Big smile, he means it]

1/3, and yes i went there

[at_too_low]

[--he notices you a second before you put your hand on his shoulder]

--Kaidon't!

2/3

[at_too_low]

[... Oh, nope, too late. Welp. He gives a deep sigh and an eyeroll (but hey, at least his hair is... a little bit more normal now, his bangs aren't trying to defy gravity anymore, and that's an improvement).]

Told you.

[at_too_low]

I'm not sure it's anything to be congrats'd on. My electricity's out of control, Togepi--Togetic is out of control, too, and I don't know when this will end. At least you didn't run the risk of paralysing your roommates.

... But still, thanks.

1/2

[kaidont]

Big deal. How long've you been this way? A few hours?

Give it some time.

[kaidont]

At least you didn't go up in flames like someone I know. You're doing good.

[at_too_low]

[He looks away guiltily]

... Since the dawn. It--woke me up at about four.

[at_too_low]

--wait, in flames?

[kaidont]

[His voice is a bit more quiet]

... it'll get better, okay? I'll help out until it calms down. [Even if that means he has to face your now-flying murderbeast]

ACE IF YOU'RE READING THIS I'M SORRY

[kaidont]

Yeah, Ace evolved the other day and turned into a godamn bonfire.

1/2

[at_too_low]

Ooh, right, he was Fire type! Heh, that must've been fun to watch. Probably terrifying at first, though.

... And thanks. I just hope I don't hurt any--

[at_too_low]

[And then another jolt runs through him, instantly discharging in the air around him - judging by his shudder, it was a pretty strong one]

Damn it!

[kaidont]

[His hand moves towards you, but he catches himself at the last moment]

You okay!?

[at_too_low]

Yeah. These don't hurt me, they are just annoying as hell.

[... Yep someone's been getting pretty tired of this]

[kaidont]

... want me to find her for you? You should sit down and rest.

[Well, if he can catch her, anyway, but if you're producing electricity you'd have a hard time getting her down too anyway even if she was cooperating]

1/2

[at_too_low]

[He waves both his hands in a very NO DON'T gesture]

No no no! I think you shouldn't--

[at_too_low]

... actually, I have no idea anymore. Maybe you two having a standoff will calm her down, or something.

[kaidont]

[Snort]

I'm surprised she didn't ambush me the moment I showed up.

[at_too_low]

[Weak laugh]

She might be planning something.

[kaidont]

[..... siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh]

I'll deal.

[Yeah actually he's just going to stay here. Maybe it'll draw her back or something]

1/2, possibly 1/3

[at_too_low]

[... Sigh]

I'd really rather go this day without having two of my best friends fight.

2/3

[at_too_low]

[... And, right on that cue, Togetic whooshes past you two again. Almost past you.

Hey Kaido hey. Know what move this evolution has? And know what being Flying type makes easier?

You get a gust of weirdly sparkly wind in your face as Togetic flies past.

Togetic used Fairy Wind?!]

[at_too_low]

[... and Atsuro's eyes widen when he sees what she uses. Reaching out to grab her in a very futile attempt, his reflexes aren't good enough]

H-Hey, Togetic! You could've hurt him! Are you okay, Kaido?!

[kaidont]

[Fuck--he could've dodged it if it hadn't been flung a him with flying speed. He tries to shield himself, but still gets almost all of it right in his face, and he stumbles a couple of steps back, clutching at his face]

Fuck--

[at_too_low]

[He comes close, before remembering himself and drawing back - he can't even touch you to make sure you're alright, why this.]

K-Kaido, are you okay?! Floette--

[He's looking around, panicked - they could really use her help right now]
