topoftheclass[The feed opens with a view of an open area and two pokémon seemingly wrestling with each other. There's soft laughter heard in the background as the Hoppip and Vulpix both lunge and retreat at each other in a playful game of cat and mouse. While it seems that the little games is all in good fun the camera lurches forward when the Vulpix gets too close to actually biting the Hoppip.]
No Kurama. You don't hurt your friends.
[And that ladies and gentlemen is Keiko making her grand entrance as she scoops up her fox and flying puffball and returns to the bench camera giving a lovely view of her from her chest up and two stunned looking pokes at being carried back to the bench. On the ground is a couple bags from a completed shopping trip. It was about time for a break and she wanted to give her pokes a chance to play in the sun as opposed to her room at the Inn. She figured if it was healthier for humans it was probably healthier for a pokémon too.
Letting each one go she pats their heads when neither Vulpix nor Hoppip make any attempt to resume their game. She takes that as a good sign and smiles.]
See you two do know how to get along. [She sighs, if she had known that letting them out without any of the rest of her party would end like this she would have given her Pidgey free reign of the skies. As it is she's wondering if maybe she should have named these two after Yusuke and Kuwabara instead. And with that wonderful thought the feed ends.]

Date: 2013-09-11 01:41 am (UTC)Yeeeaaah, see, what I was gonna say was that if you've been training them, they should have a better chance of not getting their asses kicked while we're on the road. I haven't been outside Violet yet, but I heard on the grapevine that the farther you travel here, the stronger the wild ones get.
[And what would happen to her if all of her Pokemon fainted and she was up against some monster, and she didn't have him around to put his foot in its face? It's not like he's around her 24/7. Seriously, Yusuke doesn't even wanna think about her being in that kind of danger...
He does, though, and ultimately, it's the possibility of Keiko getting hurt that's prompting him to get on her about training her Pokemon. Being the enormous tsundere he is, though, Yusuke doesn't tell her that. Instead, he scowls at her and snaps:]
So it's stupid to just let 'em lay around! Besides, they probably need the exercise. Cutie's looking kind of fat.
[... or maybe that's just how Hoppips are shaped. Whatever.]

Date: 2013-09-11 11:09 pm (UTC)I get it okay. If I'm faced with a wild pokémon, I don't just run away. I'll fight. I'm not so helpless that I'll just cower waiting for it to attack. I just can't make myself put themm in situations where they have to fight. I'm not like you Yusuke. This isn't normal for me.
[She almost pouts at him for the sheer fact taht this whole conversation is ridiculous. She knows that her dislike for fighting is probably doing her team more harm than good, she just isn't sure how she can possibly change her mindset.
Dropping her head, Keiko looks at her Hoppip and Vulpix both staring up at her and Yusuke. They actually seem sort of intrigued by the conversation the two two trainers are having. It'd be letting them down if she didn't at least try. Taking a deep breath she tilts her head back at Yusuke.]
Would you help me?
[She looks almost nervous as she asks, like she's expecting him to laugh in her face or mock her. But she knows that if anyone can teach her to do this training thing right it'd be Yusuke.]

Date: 2013-09-18 04:59 am (UTC)The class rep, asking me to help her learn how to do something? Man. I bet Iwamoto'd love to see this.
[... or, y'know, he'd take it as more evidence of Yusuke being a corrupting influence on Keiko and use it as another excuse to give her crap about hanging out with him like the square-headed, pug-faced bastard he is. God, does Yusuke hate that guy. He better not show up here in Johto, because if he does...
... anyway. SHITTY TEACHERS ASIDE, now that Yusuke has duly poked fun at her a bit (and hopefully persuaded her to relax a little in the process - seriously, it's just him, Keiko, there's really no need to be so nervous), he gives her a cheeky sort of grin, telling her:]
Yeah, sure, I'll help you. You wanna try training right now? It's not like I've got anything to do.
[JOBLESS SHMUCK.]

[She nods. There was no time like the present. It would probably do her some good to get used to seeing it for when they left. Sort of desensitization training so she wouldn’t freeze or get incredibly emotional in the wilds. Not that the Dark Tournament really went particularly far in that respect but she would have to try anyway, battles were common place of sorts after all.]
I’d like that. I think it might help.
