Bo Tahoe

[thecamerajax]

Well, not like that. But I do want to be your friend. And it’ll help out since we are traveling together.

[pokerus-bo]

Look, man. If you're going to let me down, let me down hard. I don't like these mind games you're playing with me.

[raphael-rodney]

Yes.. the best buds… but you have to accept my weirdness though…[makes silly face showing his real personality] 

[pokerus-bo]

Oh... oh wow.... I don't know if I can do that, man. Sorry but it's making me a little uncomfortable. Can I ask you to step back a bit. I don't wanna catch your weirdness. [chuckles and nudges him] I'm kidding!

[thewardenofnature]

"Thank you. I had to go throw a long list of names before he liked one." Absol yawned and laid down. "I’m Lex," He said extending his hand out. "Pleasure to meet you Bo Tahoe. I can tell your Phanpy is well kept." 

[pokerus-bo]

Bo instantly smiled at the offering and shook his hand with much enthusiasm. "Well, I'm sure he appreciated it. Rumble just kind of took to his name instantly. I mean, he's had it since he hatched though. I hatched him. You think Phanpy is kept well? Well I do try my best. He's my best friend."

[thecamerajax]

I’d really like to be friends too. And we are going to be traveling together too so I think it’d be impossible for us to not be friends anyway.

[pokerus-bo]

Oh, so... so we're like.... friends by default? 

[thecamerajax]

yeah, I’m pretty old. No need to flatter me Bo. I know I look old. But I do appreciate that. I love making friends now. The more, the merrier.

[pokerus-bo]

No no, really. You don't look old! I just... nevermind. Perhaps we could maybe become friends. I mean, if you'd be into that idea. If not it's cool.

[acetrainer-brienne]

I brought everything I needed, hell it’s half of my room on my back! Really, that’s actually really adorable! If I was him I’d never leave it. [Brienne couldn’t help but grin at that, that really was cute to her!] Shilo, my Noibat just sleeps with me. She doesn’t like being inside her Pokéball either so she slams into my belly or my face and resides there for most of the night.

[pokerus-bo]

Oh, wow! Me too! [he compared though and his backpack wasn't all that big. It made him realize how little he had back at home] Oh my gosh, Shilo? That is an adorable name. What exactly is a Noibat though? Could I maybe... see? Is she around?

[pokepax-blog-deactivated2017062]

Pax’s face had gone blank upon listening to Bo closely, watching as he looked over his infected hand. Every so often, he would nod, making sure the boy knew he was listening and not just gawking at him. As Bo began rubbing his wrist comfortingly, Pax slowly regained his signature smirk and shook his head. “Thanks, this means a lot.” he bowed his head respectfully.

[pokerus-bo]

Bo smiled at the other and gave a definite nod, "Good good. It'll just be a second. Hold on." He got down on his knees in front of the boy, shrugging off his backpack and began to search through it's many pockets before finally fishing out a bottle. "Here they are," he tipped his head back to smile up at the other boy before getting to his feet. "These should really help you out, man. I'm Bo by the way. What can I call you?"

[raphael-rodney]

No no I’m fine! just was harder then I expected haha. Did you not have any friends growing up Bo..? Ya i guess their honest.. I haven’t talk to them in awhile I’m trying to make new friends… like how i’m trying to make you my friend…

[pokerus-bo]

Um... I had ... like... a few. I don't know. Define a lot. Oh? Oh, heh. You don't have to keep trying because we're already friends. Yeah?

[thecamerajax]

Thanks! Yours is pretty sweet too. And it’s no worries. I’m just very socially awkward. I barely spoke with people for the 22 years of my life so I’m bad in social situations but I’m working to fix that. But don’t be sorry.

[pokerus-bo]

You are twenty-two? Oh wow... I mean, not that that's a bad thing. I just thought- you look a tad bit younger I guess. I didn't know there were people that old on this journey as well. I'm seventeen myself. No need to feel shy around me, sir. I'm nothin' but a kid. Maybe I can help you! People have called me friendly. 

[acetrainer-brienne]

No, I’ve never done something like this. But I’m glad to help out Professor Azalea while making my team stronger. All I’ve done before was battle and train with my Pokémon. I joined because I wanted to travel around the rest of the regions and see everything I couldn’t back at home. [She shrugged modestly at her statement before smiling at Bo] Good, because you’ll be stuck with me for God knows how long now. I like you two too and I’m glad I got to meet you guys here.

[pokerus-bo]

[Bo smiled bashfully before bowing his head shyly] Did you bring a sleeping back and stuff? I've got all my stuff in my backpack. I even got a pillow case for Rumble to sleep in. I don't like the idea of him sleeping in his pokeball. Not when I can have him close.

[thecamerajax]

No worries. I’m Jaxson Smith, but feel free to call me Jax. It’s nice to meet you Bo. I remember you were that guy making me uncomfortable the other day, hahaa.

[pokerus-bo]

Jax? Oh, that is an awesome rad name, man. I like it. It's really nice to meet you too! I uh- oh! Oh oh... I'm sorry. I made you uncomfortable? Was I being close? Sometimes people don't like being close to strangers and well, I forget that. I'm just a cuddly sort of fella I guess. I really am sorry, though.

[thecamerajax]

Well, don’t worry so much about that man. I think you look great and as long as you’re yourself, ladies will like that. I think. That’s what my dad told me.

[pokerus-bo]

Really? Well, thank you, sir. Uh- Geeze, manners... I'm Bo. Bo Tahoe. What can I call you?

[raphael-rodney]

Oh thanks! I’ve never had anyone really compliment me really… I feel like mostly like my friends for my money… I don’t know… but thanks! I feel so handsome now! Haha by the way.. you hit a little to hard… but its fine.

[pokerus-bo]

What? Are you serious right now? That's just ridiculous. I think your friends are being honest with you. That's what friends are, right? They're honest with each other? [gasps] I hit you hard? Oh sorry! I didn't mean to. Are you okay?

[breedernaomi]

Okay, okay. I’ll make sure that you don’t know about any of the ghost types that are around…. but it’ll be bad if someone in our group has one, that is, if you’re someone who’s traveling with us. Yeah, my stuffed animal. It’s a green Pokemon that my mom got me. She says it’s an evolved form of some normal type Pokemon.

[pokerus-bo]

Um... well I just- I'll just avoid it. I don't know why somebody would have a ghost type Pokemon. That just seems crazy to me. [clears his throat] A green one? From a normal? I'm terrible at naming Pokemon. Can I see it? Green is one of my favorite colors.

[acetrainer-brienne]

That’s probably one of the best reasons to tag along this trip. And I’m glad you guys did, you guys will definitely be a lot closer coming out of it. A trip around the regions like this just does that to people, you know? Your mother does care then if she wanted you to go too, as long she supports you then you’re all set. [She wasn’t sure why Bo seemed so odd about the conversation they had and she couldn’t help but wonder why that was. Brienne didn’t let the curiosity get the best of her however and she shrugged it off. Maybe he was a bit hyped up on being a new trainer, yeah that was probably it. What other options were there?]

[pokerus-bo]

Oh, so have you done it? I mean, you seem very passionate about Pokemon and since yours are so strong... have you done this before? [Bo felt a bit more closed off as the girl spoke of his mother. If only she knew the real reasoning behind him being here. How he was just her pawn] I like you Brienne... you are very kind to me and Rumble. I'm glad we ran into each other.

[raphael-rodney]

She really is the best! and I only had one conversation with her! Ummm if All cuties allowed… I can’t be allowed… have you seen this? [points at face feeling insecure as he always is]

[pokerus-bo]

[Bo's jaw dropped and instantly the boy smacked him over the back of the head] Don't do that! You are lovely, Raphael. You are more than welcome. You're kind of beyond the point of cute. You're really ... um... appealing. So stop that.

[pokepax-blog-deactivated2017062]

Smirking at the sudden kindness of a person he’d only just met, Pax nodded. So there were people out there with a heart? Good to know, on his part. “Yeah, I’m fine as far as I know.” he hummed, looking from his hand to Bo and back, “I’m no doctor.”. A feeling of relief washed over the Trainee, much to his surprise, at the news that the other knew of further first aid. His pastel hues brightened and he gave a beaming smile. “I don’t see why not.” he agreed, before slowly unwrapping his mangled hand and holding it out for the other to investigate.

[pokerus-bo]

"Gosh..." Bo mumbled, eyeing the infection. "Y-yeah, that is a nasty looking bite. No wonder you're hurting. It's all red and kind of puffy. I'm pretty sure your hand isn't usually bloated like that. We just need to get you some medicine for it. The next city should have something at the PokeMart." Bo stepped closer and took a hold of his wrist, brushing his thumb comfortingly back and forth over his skin in a soothing fashion. "Do you have any pain pills? I have some, not much but I think you need them more than I do right now. I could give you them."
