006- Video; Action for Blackthorn

[used_friendship]

[Action]

[It is early in the evening when he finally begins to stir. A hand slowly reaches up to rub at tired eyes as they blink into focus, Naruto staring up at the ceiling above him. Immediately he frowns as memories of new and old jumble together. It had felt like a dream, though it couldn't have been. Why didn't he have chakra? Oh yeah- Johto.

Feeling the presence of someone else in the room distracts him as he turns his head to the side, immediately greeted with the sight of long, flowing red hair.]

....So when are we going to Violet? [You hit hard enough to knock him out Mom, he'll concede this time.]

[Video]

[A little time later the Pokegear shows Naruto sat on a bed as an excitable Carnivine is wrapped around his shoulders, happily chewing on his head once again. Some things never change!]

So--yeah. I guess that thing happened to me, y'know, when people fall asleep and have the dreams? But they're not real dreams? [Descriptive as always. On that subject though, there are some people he wants to talk to. He should probably send them some private messages.]

Oi Neji. Sasuke. I wanna talk to you guys.

[...Or just do it that way instead. He has a pretty serious look about him for once, so they should probably get in contact with him.]

[With a huff he moves around and attempts to unwrap the Carnivine from around him. Since he has it on, he may as well ask that question he had before the coma stuff happened.]

I'm still gonna go check out that dragon place up here, the one Tenten told me about. What's the best dragon type out there? I have Ryūka-chan already, she's a Charizard now and she's grown really strong.

[ Her's is lacking in levels and variety unfortunately. That alone doesn't scare her though! ]

Yeah, well I've got a secret strategy or two I can unleash on you if you even think about trying!

[believeit]

Ehh? What is it! [Naruto that is not how secrets work.]

[punches]

If I told you... would it be much of a secret strategy?

[ To be honest, it probably involves her beating up his Pokemon with her bare hands. ]

[believeit]

....I guess. Yah, okay, don't tell me. Do you wanna battle though? Not now, but. Some time?

[punches]

Yeah, of course I want to battle! [ Not now, of course. ]

We'll have to do it some time. Promise me we will?

[believeit]

You got it!

[NICEGUYPOSE™]

[punches]

Then it's a promise. [ Now she has a reason to actually pursue leveling her Pokemon. ]

I better give that place a call and come up with some new Pokemon to add to my roster.

[believeit]

Yeah! I wanna get more too!

I wonder if anyone's ever caught one of everything before.. you think it can be done?

[punches]

Maybe. I think there's a limit to how many you can store, but you know what? If you and me both work at it, we're sure to collect everything.

[believeit]

There is? [DREAMS. CRUSHED. Only momentarily though.]

It's a deal! We'll be unstoppable!

[punches]

[ Why did she just agree to this on whim? Oh, that's right: Naruto just makes people feel charismatic about stupid shit naturally. ]

Hahah yeah, we'll have to start coordinating our catches together!

[believeit]

[That's usually the way it happens!]

Yeah! So what are we gonna catch first? [This is a thing. A thing that is happening, Sakura.]

[punches]

Um, where are we going next?

[ Don't they need to coordinate one way or the other? ] We can decide it as we go along, if you want?

[ JUST DON'T FORCE HER TO NAME THEM ALL. ]

[believeit]

Well.. I was still gonna go to the Dragon place that's here, but I dunno after that.

[That's okay he will name them for you, Sakura. All of them.]

[punches]

[ Will hold him to that... ]

Can I come along? [ Too bad, she's going. ] After that though, hmm... Is there any place you want to go? If we go back to Violet again...

[believeit]

Yeah! I assumed you were gonna come anyway. [Spoilers: When Naruto says he is going somewhere he assumes it to mean 'Naruto and Sakura are going somewhere'.]

Maybe we can go to one of the towns we passed through when coming here.

[punches]

[ This is a fairly safe assumption since she's refusing to leave his side anytime soon. ]

Yeah? I think it'd be nice to see a little more of this world, but um, we can do whatever you want!

[ Fine, so she has a momentary softness for him due to his 'absence' for a week. Soak it up while possible, Naruto....... ]

[believeit]

Then that's what we'll do!

[They can go talk to his parents about it later. Even if they want to stay, Naruto still feels like leaving. Mostly because:]

I don't wanna stay here with that guy running around. Not right now.

[punches]

[ Even if she's already allowed Obito to say his piece, Sakura has never agreed with Naruto more than she does now. Keeping the two of them in the same area is only going to result in further strain. ]

Then let's leave together. You don't have to stay here anymore or with anyone who upsets you.

[believeit]

....You wanna go after eating then? [You did say 'together' and hanging out with Sakura vs being in a town with Obito? It's not even a choice.]

[punches]

Your mother would kill us if we left and told her to catch up! [ Just... reminding him of that. ]

[believeit]

....Yeah, good point. I don't wanna be in a coma again.

[punches]

And if she beat me up as well, I'd never forgive you for it!

[ She's forgiven him for a number of his other Acts of Stupidity, but apparently draws the line when it comes to abuse from his mom?! ]

[believeit]

That's not my fault if she beats you up.

[No way would he step in on that fight. No. Way.]

[punches]

[ Not even if she asked him nicely? ]

Shouldn't you have my side in all of this?!
