Summer's gone, but you would never be able to tell from this weather. They call this an 'indian summer', right?

[The video opens to a shot of Till, Kiki's Sawsbuck, showing off his autumn foliage, not quite as thick as he would like, given the heat. He shakes his massive antlers and prances a few times, making Kiki giggle, even as she wipes sweat from her brow.]

Isn't Till handsome with his fall antlers? I also got him a saddle--

[Till obligingly turns a bit, showing off a neat little saddle and harness getup, which looks sturdy, if not elegant.]

I had some trouble finding a saddle that was all right on his back, since he's different from a Ponyta. So I improvised a little.

[A beat.]

I've been thinking about traveling a lot, lately. Maybe even going around all of Kanto. Anyone have any tips for long distances?

What's the vacation policy? Say I wanted to take a few weeks off.

Oh? Are you and Till heading off to see the world?

[broomwithaview]

I guess that's the plan, if Miss Arturia's all right with it. I'm thinking I might leave Sweep behind, though.

[doitrockapella]

Not one for traveling, is he?

[thetruehistorian]

It's usually best to go with a group.

[broomwithaview]

So I should find people to go with me? What if no one wants to come?

[thetruehistorian]

Is there a gym in your city? A lot of people leave and head to the next city with a gym in it once they've earned a badge.

It would be great if it cooled off... At least it's raining today.

[No really, Kiki. He's dying.]

We should all group up sometime! Only we're planning on going to Olivine and Cianwood right now, not Kanto...

[video]

[broomwithaview]

Olivine and Cianwood? What are you gonna do there?

[video]

[newberktown]

Get Surf and Fly, mostly. I haven't been to either of them yet, but it sounds like Cianwood might be a little like Berk, so I'd like for Astrid to see it. Ideally it would be covered in snow, but that's not something I'll be too picky about.

[milquetoasthero]

Stock up, I guess, and prepare for bad weather. Although, I guess all of that's pretty obvious... Are you going to travel far, Kiki?

[video]

[broomwithaview]

I can put saddle bags on Till. And I was thinking of going all over--in fact, I just got this travel brochure, and it says there are water slides in Cerulean! And there are movie studios in Fuchsia! Did you know that?

[video]

[milquetoasthero]

I didn't! It sounds great... Maybe once I'm back from my trip to the ruins, I'll join you. If you wouldn't mind, I mean.

[Since he's never seen a "water slide" or a "movie studio" before.]

[Oh, hey, long time no see! Nobita and Tamashii are currently resting on Route 36.]

Um...I haven't traveled around here much, but I went on long trips back home! [Home...an odd word, now.] Well, sometimes bad things happened because we didn't take care of our supplies, so you should be careful about that! And...don't forget to bring food! Although it'll probably just be for you... [Why can Pokemon eat berries while humans can't? T_T]

[video]

[broomwithaview]

Nobita! You're back! [Kiki waves as she listens to his story.]

I don't think I'll forget to pack plenty of provisions...I can get saddle bags on Till so he can carry some, too. What kind of long trips did you go on?

Re: [video]

[used_realtears]

Well, once we went back in time-no wait, two times-no wait...we went back in time a lot. And once we went to the bottom of the ocean! And another time we ended up going to a whole other world-no, wait, two other worlds-er, that happened a lot too.

Vacation policy?
There is a policy?

[ Poor Saber, she's not quite ready for these kind of questions. ]

[broomwithaview]

I don't know, is there?

Say I wanted to take a few...okay, more than a few weeks off. To travel. Would that be all right?

[rooster_shout]

Make sure to stock up on food and stuff. Pick lots of berries on the way for you're pokémon snack on.

[Video]

[broomwithaview]

I'll bring canned foods for myself, too.

[islandshore]

Depends on how you're traveling, honestly. If you've got a Pokémon that can fly, it'll cut down some of the longer travel times. Otherwise, I'd definitely pace myself. Pokémon are faster than humans, but they can't keep at it constantly.

[And a Sawsbuck probably isn't as durable as a Steelix, anyhow.]

video

[broomwithaview]

I won't be riding all the time, that wouldn't be very fair to Till. The weather's still nice, so I can walk. I kind of prefer it that way.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

[Riding on a deer was a little too girly and forest-fairy-in-a-green-dress to him. Which meant for her it was sort of cute. In a wood nymph sort of way.]

Well, you can't go wrong packing a lot of water with you. You and your pokemon will need it if you're traveling a long way.

[video]

[broomwithaview]

[It's a Ghibli thing, Rin.]

Yeah, people keep saying to bring lots of water and lots of food. I'll ration carefully! Anything else?

[tapestodiane]

_{[That is a very majestic Sawsbuck and Coop will admire him and show that with a low whistle and a smile.]}

He looks very handsome indeed. You must care for him a great deal.

_{[And since Coop has his own Deerling he's now kind of secretly 'eeee' at how she's also going to be even prettier one day. Changing with the seasons come on that's just amazing.]}

It's been a while, Kiki, how have you been?

[action] /slides in later

[broomwithaview]

[Till shakes his antlers again, just to make sure Mr Cooper can see all the nuances of greenish-yellow-brown-red.]

I've been good! Saving up my pennies, like my dad always says. Now that I've got a bit saved up, I can travel around and see more things!
