-4th Bullet-

[emperor_cowboy]

[Hol can be seen outside his house, pretending that nothing it happening at all. In fact, the man is casually smoking a cigarette. While it may appear he's as calm as ever, he's in fact quite terrified. He's not about to go back inside, at least not until he's got company.]

Oh, uh... [Dodging the question...] This is Bulbasaur.

[And with a quick flourish, the ball grows in size somewhat before releasing a small green creature.]

... Bulbasaur?

[The creature is momentarily confused by its surroundings. This wasn't the Oak Laboratory.]

[Hol can't seem to form words from his mouth right now.]

[bestwishes]

Bulba bulb, saur?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[It's a good thing he can't summon his Stand quite yet... he might shoot the thing in self defense.]


What in tarnation is that?

[bestwishes]

It's a Pokémon.

... Of course it is. You really haven't been paying attention to Pikachu at all, have you?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

... Ya cram yer pets into air-tight balls?

[Confused Hol is confused. His turn to dodge the question!]

So this is a ... bul-what?

[bestwishes]

Bulbasaur. It's a grass/poison type Pokémon. He's been one of my more reliable partners over the years.

Bulbasaur~

[That's what he was missing, a partner!]

Grassy poison type. Hm. So whatcha plannin' on doin' with it? Yer not gonna go out attackin' those hazmats, are ya?

[bestwishes]

... He has long range attacks like Razor Leaf?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Even I had long range attacks, but I knew when not to go against an opponent that I didn't need to.


So yer off to play the hero then?

[bestwishes]

Well, I'm not planning on actively hunting them down or anything. Not after what happened to Calleo... More just a thing of having him if anything becomes necessary...?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Oh good, wouldn't wanna see ya caught up in this mess.

[One can't be too sure if he's sincere about that last statement or not.]

So now that ya got two of yer little pokeymans, ya feel better?

[Yes. He's pronouncing it wrong. On purpose.]

[bestwishes]

I've got something that could at least potentially defend me from axe murderers now. Have you got anything like that on yourself right now?

[Returning Bulbasaur to the Poké Ball now...]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[Hey. He liked that little green critter!]

Seems ya got me, kid. This Post Office, can it give ya anything back?

[bestwishes]

I think so? It's a bit of a risk though. They only took some of my memories. I hear they sometimes take body parts instead...

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

... Can't be summonin' Emperor without a hand...


That why ya lookin' a bit down on yer luck?

[bestwishes]

They took at least a few weeks from when I was in the Orange Islands. Maybe over a month even... I can't remember a thing about my final Gym Battle or the Championships... I don't know what happened to my Lapras... I'm absolutely clueless about that period of my life...

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Gym Battle? Championships? Kid, sounds like ya come from a rather far-fetched place.

[Because yes, summoning Stands is completely normal.]

Though pretty sure ya can't be missin' much, after all ya don't seem so downhearted about it.

[bestwishes]

Well, I'm not entirely sure what I'm missing? I have a feeling that there's something important in there though...

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Well perhaps this town hasn't thought of a person regaining memories from experience. Ya'll remember soon enough, and if ya don't, no harm done.

'Less ya run into someone who expects ya to remember what ya forgot!

[bestwishes]

... Well, I guess Misty and Pikachu probably know what happened?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[Darn kids and their need for friends.]

... Right then, when ya get inside, we have a guest. Be sure to say hello to her.

[bestwishes]

Ms. Skye is still here? Sure, I'll do that.
