Shiraishi Kuranosuke

[Today Shiraishi's sitting on the beach in Olivine. He's enjoying a day outside and taking it easy for a while.]

It's been a while since I've been on a beach. [He just wished it would be summer. That way it would be more enjoyable.] Coming here actually reminded me that I've been here for over six months already. It doesn't feel like that at all, even if it is a lot colder than it was back then.

[On the background, you can see a Chikorita running around. Shiraishi smiles at her before turning back to the gear.]

I just hope it doesn't get too cold for grass Pokémon to be outside like this. How does winter affect their life's? I haven't noticed any signs of autumn in them, but winter is a whole different thing. [At least Chikorita seems to be doing fine right now. She doesn't have any worries and sand is fun. Shiraishi chuckles a little.]

Well, I guess it's not something to worry about right now-

[Instead there's something else to worry, since Shiraishi's suddenly feeling not so well. He's actually about to say something about that, but instead he'll just drop down - unconscious. The gear continues filming.

Chikorita rushes to her trainer. She pokes and tickles him with her leaf... but nothing happens. Not even a twitch, even if he normally does at least that.] Chiko...? [What's wrong with him?]


(ooc: Shiraishi will be sleeping for ~two weeks. This was was kind of written just to give this journal some kind of an "ending". More information about here. All possible replies will come from his Chikorita.)

[And the feed opens to an exhausted Shiraishi once he gets his gear back. He's been running after it for... who knows how long. And gotten even more lost.]

I... think I'm in a pinch here. I've been looking for the exit at Ilex Forest to Azalea Town for hours. I just got here for a evening stroll and then couldn't find a way out.

[His Vulpix is curled up next to him, sleeping.] And I have the wrong map, too... so I have no idea where to go.

So uh... what should I do?

[As the feed starts you'd expect to see someone there... well you don't, but that's quite common too, isn't it? Instead you see a lot of grass and something that looks a lot like dandelion colours... but doesn't look like a flower. More like a jacket that's been left there.

And then the jacket moves. Slowly it gets higher and out of the view. Someone must have picked it up. Well, almost. Next you see it flying (yes, flying) in the distance, followed by a young looking boy.]

Oi! Come back with that.

[Luckily for this young boy, the jacket is too heavy for the Pidgey and it's easy to catch. Though once the jacket is off it flies away.]

Geez, and I just took it off for a while because it's too hot.

[It's your own fault for stopping to take a break in the long grass, Shiraishi. He'll return back to the previous spot (right outside the gear) and sighs as he sits down. Traveling was a harder than he thought.]

Maybe I should have stayed in town until the evening so the sun wouldn't be so bright... are you alright, Budew?

[There's a small, cheerful "Budew" sound coming from somewhere near the gear.]

Well, it can't be helped now... we'll just try to get to the next town as fast as we can. Or spend time in shades before we do.

[It's a mystery why they don't right now.

The feed will continue with the grassy view. It doesn't seem like they'll notice anytime soom that it's recording somehow.]
