M+ What's the most hippnen' hoppin'est thing you like to do for fun, around here?

“Make friends!”

21. What's the weirdest thing you're likely to find in their room?

Korrina is totally clean, no joke. The weirdest thing you’re likely to find is her kigurumi pajamas.

There’s also her cache of key stones, but she’s hidden those so nobody will find them, ever.

Are there any obstacles you are having troubles overcoming?

“Yes, Lucario’s Mega Evolution problem is the biggest issue right now.”

“But we’ll figure it out. I mean, it’s only been a year with no progress, but what’s a year in the whole history of the Earth, right?”

[genkiskates]

Can you sing?

“Sort of. I prefer playing power chords on my guitar!”

11: Daily rituals?

((I’ve actually answered this before! Let me find the link to Korrina’s daily ritual.))

[genkiskates]

If you could be any pokemon for a day, which would you be?

“It would cool if I could be Lucario, and Lucario could be Korrina.”

[genkiskates]

Why do you think glue doesn’t stick to the bottle?

“Hmm… I’ll be scientific! I think that the inside of the glue bottle is coated by a chemically thing that causes glue-phobic reactions, thus preventing the glue from chemically bonding to the chemically thing!”

CAN YOU DANCE THE FUNKY CHICKEN???

I CAN dance the funky chicken!”

Dances the funky chicken.

“I’m a mechanic around these parts, so I guess I haven’t really been keeping up with Pokedex’s and catching Pokemon. Although if you probably told me about something like that a few years ago, chances are I’d probably use it.” Considering a few years ago she was a Pokemon Trainer, the Dex Nav might have come in handy.

“A few years ago, I was one of those Pokemon Trainers. Challenging other trainers and collecting badges. At some point I lost interest, so I thought the mechanical way was the way to go!”

The Meowth’s ears perk up as she hears the sound of the Dex Nav go off. Turning in Korrina’s direction to the source of the bug Pokemon.

Korrina crouches down and crawls her way to the patch of grass where the Kakuna is. Using her legs to quickly propel herself, she launches herself toward the rustling weeds, ready to capture her brand new...

... Metapod.

Korrina sighs and lets it go, watching it just sort of... flop down on the ground and roll a bit. It’s a Metapod. It can’t do much. Disheartened, she turns back to the mechanic to speak to her, as it’s clear she won’t catch her Kakuna anytime soon.

“Hmm? A mechanic? In the forest?” She chuckles. “That’s interesting! Are you on the way to a city or something?” Korrina stops, and squints her eyes. Somehow, she looks familiar, like someone she knows on base. “You’re not a trainer anymore? But you have a Meowth with you! I was just thinking you were grinding out here... Ah! But where are my manners? I’m Korrina! It’s nice to meet somebody out here--it gets really lonely, you know!”

The base had gotten too stuffy. There was nothing to do there and too many people who gave him weird looks for coming back. He did his best to ignore them or even reciprocate the glares with one of his own scowls but he was tired. He needed to get out but he didn’t want to just leave again, that’d be quitting. So he had made his way outside the base decided to just hang around the perimeter of the property. 

It was while he was hanging around the base that he noticed a blonde he didn’t recognize. Not a big surprise though, considering there were a lot of new people in the area that he hadn’t met. He had been gone a long time after all. He hadn’t even realized he was staring at her until she looked in his general direction. It’s not like he had meant to stare he was just trying to figure out who she was.

He glanced away in embarrassment, cursing to himself under his breath. He took a chance and glanced back only to see that she was still looking in his direction. Either she was staring at him now or there was something more interesting than him in the area that he hadn’t noticed. He gave an awkward wave in her direction just to see if it was him she was looking at.

Korrina, having forayed into research as well as PR, was very busy nowadays, but she still somehow found time to practice her roller skating. Unfortunately, the area right outside of HQ was very untamed and bad for skating, but she had to make do.

Korrina slides off a rail, her feet landing with a solid thump in the dirt. A cloud of dust blows up around her, and she sneezes. Her allergies are bad, made worse by the foreign plants she never was able to build a resistance to like those in Kalos. Pausing, she fishes through her pocket and pulls out a kerchief, sneezing into it again. Ugh. She makes a mental note to herself to get some allergy meds from the sick bay once she returns. After a few moments of sniffling, she suddenly gets the feeling of being watched, and turns around.

What luck! It’s Roark!

Roark gives an awkward wave, and she returns it, skating on over to him. “Bonjour, Roark!” she calls. Roark, in her opinion, was a bit strange, but funny, and besides--it was nice having someone else on base who could speak French. “Ça va...?” Her voice trails off, and she squints at the person in front of her, coming to a quick stop before she bumps into him. Roark seemed... different. His hair was redder and he gave off an air of antisocial-ness he never had before.

“Oh, sorry!” Korrina says, in English this time. “I thought you were someone else I know. I don’t think I’ve seen you around on base before! Are you new?”

[genkiskates]

She’s not good at sewing. But after hours of slaving over the machine, she pulls a slightly misshapen glove from the needle and slips it on her hand. Pulling out another compartment, she places her keystone in it and smiles.

“All right, Lucario,” she says, getting up, “let’s get back to training, okay?”

“Wait a minute? They do? Yeah, that is pretty messed up.” Although it wouldn’t surprise her if she was assigned to said task. But of course she couldn’t tell this girl that she was affiliated with Team Rocket. Ellie was lost in the woods, stirring up trouble would only add to that flame.

“Thats a bummer, I’m afraid I don’t have any cash on me. Otherwise I’d give you enough for six Ultra balls.” From what the ginger had heard, it wasn’t often that you’d come across a Pinsir. So the blonde didn’t have to worry about it too much.

“An app for strong Pokemon? Sorry, I haven’t heard anything like that.” Must be pretty high tech and expensive for the mechanic not to hear about something like that. 

Meanwhile, Sonya was nothing more than an observer in the conversation. Maybe they could ask her for directions to the pond. Unless her friend was too stubborn to ask herself.

“It’s true! People do that, so it’s good to know of these things.” Korrina punctuates her last words with rigorous emphasis, half talking about the general public and half talking about Team Rocket. Korrina hated their policy on stealing Pokemon, and refused to partake in it herself. For one thing, it was cruel to the Pokemon who had grown attached to their owners, and two, stolen Pokemon didn’t respond to training as well as ones that were caught legitimately did.

So that’s why she took a bit of money out of pocket to buy her own Pokeballs at the Mart. Korrina, being an HR monkey, didn’t have a criminal record, so she could be seen out and about, and she intended to keep it that way.

“Eh? You haven’t?” exclaims Korrina, honestly surprised. “It’s called Dex Nav. It’s gotten pretty famous around these parts. Pardon me if this comes off as rude, but are you not from around here?” Korrina takes out her Holocaster and opens it up. “I really recommend it! It’s not that expensive for all you get--although, a Holocaster in itself IS kind of a money suck...”

Suddenly, she hears a rustling in the grass and the Dex Nav censor beeps. “Speak of the devil!” she mutters, and she crouches down. “I think I’ve found a Kakuna!”

“Lucario? Lucario? Where are you?”

Not even the stars light her way as her feet pound down the desolate dirt road. Few sounds are offered into the night except for the insect’s occasional ministration, and her voice echoes into the darkness beyond her. 

“Lucario! Please come back!” 

Korrina stops to catch her breath, wiping away a few tears from her eyes. Her heart is pounding, and her stomach ties itself in knots from sheer panic. 

He ran off. 

She can barely even think the words to herself. She wants to believe that it isn’t true, that she didn’t come back to her dormitory with the window wide open and no Lucario to be seen, but deep down she knows that sort of wishful thinking won’t do her any good–she has to take action and find him. Both his physical form, and why he’s upset with her.

“Lucario? LUCARIO!??”

Her voice swells and ebbs, cracking with dehydration. Gulping down one last breath of air, she starts running again, stumbling in the pitch. Her foot catches on a tree branch in the road, and she trips, falling to the ground.

Korrina tries to get back up again, only to feel a jet of pain lance through her leg. She falls back down, whimpering and drawing her sprained ankle to her chest. Shaking, she resolutely sets it down and begins to crawl, still calling out with yells punctuated by the occasional gasp. 

After what seems like hours, she sees a dark figure walking down the road. “Lucario?” she starts, but her hope fades away as soon as she sees the figure is human. “… You’ve got to help me!” she cries, completely putting aside any regard for personal safety. “Have you seen a Lucario about?”

[genkiskates]

“So... when Pokemon hatch out of eggs, are they full-sized...?”

“Or... what?”

A Hawlucha? Whats a Pokemon like that doing in Kanto? Certainly it can’t be a wild Pokemon, can it? Her question was soon answered once the blond approached the flying type.

“Uh, Hawlucha, that’s pretty good and all,” starts Korrina, squinting, “but I think that’s a human, not a Kakuna.” She offers the redhead a wave, putting on her nicest smile. “Can you try again?”

Raising an eyebrow, Ellie replies, “A Kakuna? Why would you want that Pokemon?” Little did she know that Beedrill had a Mega Evolution of its own. So she thought catching a Kakuna would be a waste of time.

“No offense or anything, but why would you want to catch that Pokemon? I would think you’d wait later on to catch a bug type like Pinsir or Scyther.”

[genkiskates]

“No, I’m sure I want to catch a Kakuna,” replies Korrina, unfazed by the other’s reaction. Hawlucha flies to a branch and perches on it, watching them interact. “I mean, a Scyther can’t mega-evolve. Well, a Scizor can, but Scizors are way too hard to get. Did you know people steal them when you trade them for evolution? They do! Is that messed-up or what?”

“And I’m not sure if Pinsirs live in this area. I don’t think I have clearance to go any further than this forest yet. That is to say, um, ehem...” she stutters, realizing that her words could come off as suspicious to a non-Rocket. She didn’t know this person’s affiliation, so she wasn’t willing to risk it. “I mean, um, I don’t have enough money to buy a ball strong enough to catch one.”

Awkward silence.

“So a Kakuna it is. I know what you’re thinking. But I’ve got this app that helps me find strong wild Pokemon. Have you heard of it?”

[genkiskates]

“Happy Bastille Day, everyone!”
