Akari only had a few pokémon left to catch. Only a few more and she’d be sent home. At this point she didn’t know if she WANTED to go home; She had made so many friends, and some she even considered her family. She knows her mom must be worried sick, and she misses her mom just as much as she probably misses her. She chuckles at the thought of Barry and lucas going apeshit. It was funny for a moment before she thought about how worried the probably were. She looked down at the worn journal in her lap. She could’ve sword it was only yesterday it fairly new and most of the pages were blank. she didnt realize so many things could happen within only a few weeks, each day packed with excited and new places to explore. This place has offered her some of the most amazing experiences ever. Akari was so lost in thought she didnt see that irida had approached her.
“Akari? Are you okay?” Iridda asks, a hint of worry in her tone as she approached the younger woman.
“Oh! Oh yeah- im good i was just lost in thought.” Akari said, jumping a little from the sudden voice. “Is something on your mind?” Irida asked, sitting next to Akari. “No- No. Its nothing like that. Im just wondering what Pokémon i should go after next. There are only a few left, and all of them are very difficult to spot- let alone catch.” Akari spoke with an exhausted tone- most people would think the person who saved Hisui 2 times was a hard worker; Dont get her wrong, she definitely WAS, but god did she just want to fall limp after catching every pokémon and take a 5 hour break.
“Im sure you can do it- you’re a ten star survey corps member after all! And, if you want my opinion, you’re the coolest person i know.” Irida said nudging akaris shoulder. Akari chuckled at her playful manner. “But, Ive heard about a Pokémon in those space time distortions; its weirdly shaped and it vibrates like crazy- i’ve also heard its blue and pink, if that helps any.” Irida spoke, she seemed to have trouble describing it, and Akari had an idea of which pokémon she was talking about.
“You mean Porygon?”
“YES!! Porygon!!”
Irida seemed excited after remembering the pokémon’s name. “I think its spotted in the spacetime distortions in the crimson Mirelands, I can escort you, if you’d like.” Irida said, making eye contact with her friend.
“Nah, thanks for the offer though! But i don’t want you to suffer there since the Mirelands are pretty warm.” Irida shivered in response. “Yeah, you’re right. But if you do find that pokemon, tell me please! it interests me very much.” Irida spoke, as she said goodbye to her friend. Akari said her goodbyes and stood up.
Next stop? Crimson Mirelands. What are we gonna do? Catch a god damn porygon.
