7th Struggle [Action/Video] New Bark Town ... Again

[SUN. BRIGHT, SUNSHINEY SUN. It's so bright, it's almost as bad as getting blinded by snow. But that lasts for only a minute before the gear swings into focus on a face.

A very familiar looking face. Or maybe he wasn't familiar at all and those bright blue eyes, wild black hair, and somewhat sharp teeth were a new and unusual sight.

That person with the familiar looking face had an equally familiar looking Poochyena that had, lovingly, sunk her jaws into his skull. He's dealt with worse before, but he obviously wasn't too happy about his situation.

The Poochyena on the other hand, looked absolutely thrilled to be gnawing on her trainer once more.]

She's been doing this for fifteen minutes... [Fifteen minutes before he was just getting kicked out into New Bark and realizing that he had not dreamt up his time in Johto.]

... How do I make her stop? I can't feel much of my head anymore.

[Hey, that face actually looks kinda sorta familiar!]

Find her a new target. Preferably one that you intend to catch.

Flick her noise, genius. Woofbeasts don't tend to like that and it asserts your dominance.

[ ouch, looks like that hurts. ]

Have you tried disciplining her? Maybe tell her "you're a bad girl!" or something like that. You could also try giving her something to eat or chew on?

[ aside from his head, of course.. ]

Perhaps she's hungry and she's trying to tell you.

...Um.

[Holy shit what is it with her and running into people that are being chewed on by their Pokemon lately.]

Put her back in the Pokeball?

[It seems logical enough.]

[Oh great! Because Rin thinks this guy looks pretty familiar too! But right now he didn't look too happy.]

I tried that... the sentret ran away when they saw me. [siiigh -- oh! But an idea springs forth!] Maybe I could dunk my head in the water over there. I'll catch Poochy and she'll latch onto a water type.

[SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GUY JUST -- ] I'm not a tamer or a dog whisperer! How am I supposed to know that?

[BUT HE IS TRYING IT. ...Poochy really didn't like it. And to show how much she didn't like it, she bit him a little harder.] Am I supposed to keep doing this until she cracks my head open?!

She's your beast, asshole. If you would remember this shit correctly instead of forgetting it then maybe you'd be able to deal with an excitable creature like that.

[ because clearly Rin must have forgotten his previous stay. ]

I know she's mine, dammit, but last I remember she didn't want to scalp me! She went for my arm like it was a turkey leg...

[He totes didn't forget! He just forgot just how... physical Poochy could be. ...And he forgot Karkat's name. BUT THAT FACE. Never forget.]

You were gone for months, you dick. How would you feel, being abandoned until now?

[poochyena chewing on someone's head wat wat even]

Jesus--!

[And here he thought it was going to be a straight-shot to Violet City. N o p e.]

Shi-- Are you hurt? Is your head bleeding?

That's a very smart Sentret.

[He can't exactly blame it, though.]

Training a Water-type early never hurts, but if she grabs a Tentacool she might find herself poisoned.

Fleshripper does that to me a lot too, just on my arms and legs. He lets go eventually.

[Not helping, Domri.]

[Now that's a familiar face. And oh man, reunion can wait.]

Give her a new target to aim for, or a some kind of chew toy.

You okay?

Welcome back, Rin. [ Oh, maybe she ought to give him advice for his current predicament? ]

You could wear a helmet.

[It really, really does. He probably couldn't feel his brain at this point.

But this girl was really pretty. Like a noble woman. Or a princess. He was sure that he would have remembered her. Maybe she was new? (No duh.)]

But she's really not a bad girl. [per say... Rin gives that second part some thought. Let's see, now what were Poochy's old habits? Oh, yeah!] Nah, Poochy likes to follow me around when she's hungry. I could find a chew toy, somewhere?

[Huh. She looked like a less fabulous version of the un-gothic lolita he used to know. Emphasis on the less fabulous part.

Not that there was anything wrong with less fabulous-ness. Just look at Izumo.]

She hates it when I do that. It's like ... Telling someone to be quiet mid-conversation. Except it hurts.

[Why, yes he is bleeding! But, of course he hasn't noticed. He has noticed that there is (finally) a real live person! Not that he was unused to people. He just remembered being mostly on his own while he was in New Bark Town last time.

And this guy seemed okay. Rin would nod, but there was a Poochyena on his head.]

I think I'm okay? [But he winced as he spoke. Poochy didn't seem like she was going to let go anytime soon.] ... I can't really feel my head anymore.

[Not helping, but this guy has personal experience! Cool!]

Fleshripper? [OH MY GOSH, THIS GUY WAS ONE OF THOSE SUPER COOL PUNKS. Oh, but Rin wasn't part of the thug life anymore. ...but dude, this guy.] What kind of Pokemon is that?

Poochy likes my legs too, but she hasn't gone for my head before.

I seriously gotta make her one...

[Reunions are a must and they will have to have a battle!]

I've been better! But it's good to see you.

[Advice? Dude, he hasn't seen her in a while! ... Even though that advice is pretty rad.]

Thanks! [It was Saber, right? She was the girl with the manly name.] I'll have to buy one soon... Do they even sell those?

[ his train of thought reminded her of koyomi. he could have an oddity girl hanging off his arm and he'd be thinking of the girl over himself.

this, at the very least, makes her smile. ]

Hello! Forgive me for not saying my name sooner, I'm Tsubasa Hanekawa. Might I suggest that you check the local PokeMart? They might sell toys there that you could give to your Pokemon companion. Otherwise, I might suggest that you grin and bear it, if she is indeed doing it out of affection.

[Yeah less fabulous is about the sum up of Maka.]

But you hate it when she chews on you. Have you actually told her that it hurts when she does that or have you just...been letting her do it?

[...This guy is an idiot, isn't he.]

[On that note, leaves this here.]

He's a Totodile. He bites everything.

When she goes for your throat's when you should stop her. You can deal with a little pain until then, right?

[Now that's the next best thing! Rin remembers!]

Same here! And oh man, it's been a while, Rin.

Yeah... it went and warned the other pokemon over in that path, too.

[Tentacool were bad news. He doesn't remember exactly what it looked like, but he knew being poisoned was never a good thing.

Granted he was still in New Bark so he should be able to heal her up right quick...]

But she might grab something else, like a Magikarp. [She might be more like a bull! See something red, snatch it!

Hm... But the familiarity of this dude's face was bugging him.]
