SURPRISE! A STORM.
hctatsuya:
for @hcsangjoon ! date & location december 2017 @ the geumjeong district.
‘don’t worry about staying in,’ they said, ‘the weather will be clear today!’ they said.
weather channels were liars— he should just never leave the comfort of his gym or his home, maybe ask garchomp if he could create some sort of underground passageway from his home to the gym to avoid mishaps like this again. fooled by the forecasters on his television, he decided to take a hike in the geumjeong mountains with little teddy, and only the little teddiursa since he wasn’t expecting anything to happen. it started raining, but they both loved it so they endured it and continued their journey around;
that was until it had gotten a little too dark for the teddiursa’s liking followed by loud thunder and bright lightning when teddy began wailing.
his only option was to scoop the little pokémon into his arms and sprint for the nearest cave he could find. even when they were out of the rain, attempting to dry off as the storm, teddy wasn’t getting any quieter. the thunder was loud in their ears no matter how much deeper into the cave the gym leader would go, and the flashes of lightning could be seen reflecting on the walls from the entrance. what he was more worried about was the fact that teddy was still young, thus prone to getting sick more often than he should— he needed to find some source of warmth soon.
“hello? is anyone around?” there were only two places someone could appear, and that could be his left where the entrance into the cave was, or to his left where the passageway continues, deeper into the mountain and deeper into pokémon territory. for all tatsuya knew, he could wake up a whole bunch of pokémon and anger them into coming out for an attack, but he was desperate. he stays put, holding a shivering teddiursa to his chest with only a teeny bit of panic laced in his tone. “helllllo! hello?!”
come rain or shine, most of the the sangjoon could be found out and about with his trust camera. though he did have to say that this time he was rather thankful that he had picked a cave instead of outside. while the weather reports had said that it was supposed to be nice and clear, it had ended up with a rather bad thunderstorm. not that he and kyu minded very much, they were nice and dry inside the cave on their hunt to take some pictures of some of the pokemon lurking in these parts.
luckily, he hadn’t really been bothered by any angry pokemon feeling as though he had his lycanroc had invaded their territory, and instead he had managed to get some good pictures of some roggenrola and boldore together (no gigalith though, which he had been a little disappointed about) before deciding that he didn’t really want to spend much more time hanging around this cave and decided to call it a day, heading back towards the entrance.
“we got some good pictures, kyu,” he just mused as he scrolled through his camera as they walked, glancing down at the lycanroc trotting next to him, “thank you very much for sniffing them out for me.” that is where his pokemon did come in very useful, sniffing out the pokemon in the dark caves so he didn’t have to spend forever looking for them only using his flashlight. kyu did seem rather pleased with the praise, walking with his head held a little higher and sangjoon just laughed, shaking his head a little. though his attention was soon taken by someone calling out near the entrance of the cave.
“hello?” he called back, picking up the pace a little, jogging forward as the sight of another came into view, “you alright?”
