4th bloom

[Vinnie had been spending a lot of time on his own outside, watching the flower buds peek through the snow. Had he been actively avoiding certain people? Hell yes. But he was privately trying to console himself with the slow return of spring.

It was getting warmer. Greener. All his hopes for the future lay in the coming month.

All are welcome to bug him as he mopes in the melting snow.]

I wanna get back into training again. At least doing something. I'm sick of waiting around and feeling like this. I've been getting into fights anyway, so... I should've told you about those.

I know I've been pulling stupid shit lately. You can lay it on me for that.

= = =

...Sorry for being such an asshole.

There's a girl that likes me. I don't know what the fuck t'do.

So if you guys have any ideas on how I should stop fucking up my life, I'm all ears.

By the way, Smoe: those nose things work really well. Thanks.

That's good to hear.

I...oh. [Oh well that's just great. Of course it was going to be Char, why didn't she even think of that possibility! That's just it's just...rggh. Sasha doesn't even reprimand him for getting into a fight with Char.] I hope...you showed him what Red Team is all about. [Punching him in the face and barfing on him.]

[She twiddles her thumbs and looks at the ground nervously.]

I wanted to see other Charizards. Well not just charizards, I would have been content with a flock of Charmanders or a Charmeleon or two...

[Maybe it explains a lot, maybe it doesn't. She's going to go on. Maybe you'd understand the urge to be with those of your kind, in fact you probably understood that a lot better than her. Sasha's species is known to be hard to train and the type to roost by themselves. Family is not exactly a big word to them.]

I haven't known my kind at all apart from Char...and I had a book which told me where the last few remaining wild Charizards are supposed to roost. I wanted to know. What my own species is like.

Imagine my surprise when I met Char along the way there.

[Vinnie mused on this. It had to happen eventually - Vinnie could barely fathom the idea of growing up severed from his nature and instincts as a wild Pokemon. Knowing that she was bred, never knowing her parents and others of her kind, it bothered him. Looked like it had really begun bothering her, too.

He didn't understand why she hid the true purpose of her trip, but it wasn't as though Vinnie was free of secrets either when it came to the impulses in his blood.]

I get it. Figure it'd gotta happen one day... You deserve to know 'bout your own kind. Pity you had to run into that asswipe on the way.

You get any answers?

[She moves uneasily on her bench, letting her feet sway on the ground]

We didn't find any wild Charizards....well...we did but they were kept in a mine to work illegally. [She bites her lip.] They were...they made me look savage and wild. [The is a long, drawn out sight and she leans back again]. We tried to save them and all they could talk about was about how pretty my eyes and my tail were. At one point they all tried to jump on me. It's a good thing Char was there, ti was too dangerous to take all of them alone who knows what might have happened and...[yeah better not get Vinnie too worried about that.]

Vinnie, I don't think they'd seen a female before. They need to be rehabilitated and taught how to be wild. I was going to help out Char do it but...

I don't think I can teach them anything. I can't face them. Char's a much better Charizard than I could be.

[Growl. Vinnie couldn't help but think back to what the other Charizard had told him during their tussle. He had to force himself to push it out of his mind. It certainly hadn't endeared himself any more to the guy.]

You don't teach a Pokemon t'be wild. Those instincts don't go away. It's remembering.

Years of livin' like that, it gets to you. I still got some've it in me, good and bad. I still... think about what it might've been if I never met you guys. The forest's in my blood, just like fire's in yours. Doesn't make me stronger or better than Bulba. He acts more like a 'Saur than I do, half the time - and he sure as hell's never been wild.

Char's no more fuckin' qualified than you are. He talks a lot'a shit, but he ain't fit to teach nothing.

Edited 2011-03-05 12:19 (UTC)

[She listens to his words in silence. While Sasha doesn't really completely agree with them, having been there and witnessing what Char did, it is really nice of him to say that. Especially after all the shit she's been pulling off regarding who to date and everything.]

...Thanks. It means a lot.

I guess I still need to find that fire in me. Sometimes it feels like I'm just trying to extinguish it. But I don't want it to happen again. With Volgin... I just don't know what to do, sometimes.

Fighting your nature's a losing battle, but you don't have t'be like Char to find that balance. There's no reason you can't be you and have that flame at the same time.

S'far as I'm concerned, every other Fire Type's just been a torch. They don't know how t'do anything but burn for themselves. You're better than that.

You're the goddamn sun. You'll find your way, I know it.

[Sasha just grinned wider and wider and went on. Sometimes the only medicine someone needed was having someone care about you and tell you the right words.]

Alright. I'll do it!

[Do or not do. There was no try, after all.]

Good. [Vinnie grinned, even though he still wore the lingering air of emotional fatigue. It was just good to see his sister smile again. He hadn't realized how sorely he'd missed it.]

No matter what happens, you'll always be the sun t'me.

[Hug?]

The blackest sun, heh? [She's teasing a little. This night been nearly an emotional roller-coaster.]

[Hugs are indeed very acceptable and she does not hesitate when it is offered to her.]
