15th Tomoe || Video, Action for Goldenrod City

[beforethedarkness]

[A tired and quite irritated Sasuke is the first thing that shows up on the gear, and in the background behind him is Obito, Tenten, and Evan. It's obvious that they're outside in Goldenrod City, and although Sasuke looks a little worse for wear he's much better than he was after the Valentine's Attack was done.

Even if he still has bandages over burns and puncture marks and his right arm is still in a cast.]

If I don't answer a message the first time, leaving twenty more isn't going to make me answer any faster. I just went through 174 messages on my gear.

[A heavy sigh, and he shakes his head.]

I was in Ilex forest trying to catch some pokémon. I wanted to do it alone. That's all there is to it.

[Shutting off the video, because irritation is at maximum. He's going to go make Whitney cry get the Plain Badge now, if only because he never wants to be made that weak and vulnerable ever again.]

Yes, but...

Your current state isn't, well, distracting for them?

I'd figure if I had my arm in a cast Omen would be a bit distracted by my wellbeing. Unless it was my own stupid fault.

*The Absol only acknowledges the words, he doesn't reply to her commentary.*

[beforethedarkness]

They've been battling fine since it happened in the Ilex Forest. There's no reason why they wouldn't here.

[He doesn't want to wait six weeks to get another badge, Immy.]

[In a hotel with a forming black eye...whoever decked this kid clearly didn't get him hard enough.]

So you just don't trust anyone at all? Cut yourself off from everyone aroud you so you can't get hurt? [a snort.] That's a dumb way to live. People need people, no matter how much they try to avoid them.

[beforethedarkness]

How can you say we're friends when I just told you that I don't trust you.

[brokenmemories]

[She kind of wants to punch you at this moment, Sasuke.]

And if someone attacks you during said recovery or on the way to town?

[for_realsies]

Battling wild mons is totally the same thing as a gym battle.

*You can't always get what you want~ But if you try sometimes, you get what you need.*

...

It's because of someone I trusted that I'm alone. I won't make the same mistake again.

I have to be strong alone.

[Sadly it's not that easy to get someone off of something they've been obsessed with for such a long time.]

Private

[heartdive]

Because you keep talking to me. Because you said you don't want to trust anymore, which means you have to trust someone.

[Video]

[beforethedarkness]

Why do you care.

[falseshore]

I guess I don't have enough experience with broken bones. I thought it would've healed by now.

[Yes, he is attempting small talk with you, Sasuke.]

[Video]

[brokenmemories]

I don't know. Maybe cause I kind of consider you as a friend? Or an acquaintance at least.

Either way, I don't want you dying on me.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

I don't.

[beforethedarkness]

... Six weeks. That's the estimate they gave me for the bones to heal.

[beforethedarkness]

I need the Plain Badge anyway.

[Video]

[beforethedarkness]

I won't die. That's the one thing I refuse to do.

[for_realsies]

Yeah, but you can wait a few days. Mostly so you can figure out what you're feeling.

Also one of your friends punched you in the face, that might distract you.

Private

[heartdive]

Not even yourself?

[Video]

[brokenmemories]

[She laughed a bit at that comment out of slight hysteria.]

Whatever you say...whatever you say.... [Was all she could say.]

[beforethedarkness]

... It won't distract me if my team is strong enough to earn the badge.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

... The only thing that I trust about myself is that I'll keep training to get strong enough to kill him, no matter what.

[Video]

[beforethedarkness]

[That merits him shutting off the feed on you, Misaki. He won't ignore it if you try to reconnect though.]

[Video] ----> [Text|Private]; guess who wins worst friend award

[brokenmemories]

[Shit, that was the wrong move to do as seen by Sasuke's response. Not saying she felt remorseful or anything. Thinking he won't respond with video, she decides to shoot him a text.]

sorry if i pissed you off
that wasn't really the wisest thing to do, was it?
well, if you're willing to talk or anything
reply back
unless i'm really not that tolerable
then i understand

[Text|Private] Aw, it's not Misaki's fault that Sasuke's being sensitive. orz;

[beforethedarkness]

[There's a delay in the response, but it's likely only because he's texting left-handed.]

i still want to bttale

[... Damn typos.]

[Text|Private]

[brokenmemories]

[That kind of confused the girl a bit. Still gave her some relief he was willing to reply back though.]

battle as in training?
or do you mean like trainer battling
that's kind of blunt, you know

[Text|Private]

[beforethedarkness]

trainer battle wile im still in town.
