Thirty-Second Projection

[Video; filtered to Saber and Lancer]

Saber, Lancer, I'm going to be leaving Goldenrod City for a little while. I'm flying out to New Bark Town to pick up Tohsaka and Sakura, and we might not come back here. If either of them are trainers, we'll probably go to Violet City first, then Azalea Town, then back to Goldenrod. But don't worry, we'll be back as soon as we can.

...Oh, and Saber, would you like to come?

[Action; New Bark Town]

[Suddenly, something blots out the sun for a few seconds. Overhead is a Charizard, which appears to be circling around for a landing. Suddenly, it decides to descend, then slows down as it reaches the ground, landing a little heavily. Its trainer then slides off its back. He's here for two girls, and he will find them.]

[ It was only a matter of time before this happened and Saber knows it well. All too easy it was in her mind to pack up everything she had here at the Breeding Centre and go on an adventure with her Masters, remaining nearby should they fall towards danger.

But she can't.

This was her home now and so many duties were now left in her hands. Should she be so eager to run away from such responsibilities? No, but it was normal to feel this way, was it not? ]

I cannot Shirou. [ If anything, she was stubborn. ] Please send my apologies to Rin.

You...can't?

Why not?

I have responsibilities here and it would be in poor taste to abandon them last minute to travel. [ She's a bit apprehensive to answer, but eventually she gives in. ] Not only do I busy myself with the Breeding Centre, but there is a girl here whom I train, as well as ... other obligations that I am afraid I must be vague about.

[wontdieifkilled]

...That you have to be vague about?

[Should have left that part out, Saber.]

[Sakura had been staying near the center of the town for the past few days, waiting patiently for Shirou. Like most of the other townspeople, she was drawn to the sky when the sun is blotted out for a moment. Unlike the townspeople, who didn't seem too find the sight extremely interesting, she can't hide her surprise. Especially when she sees someone on the dragon. And when she sees who that someone is...]

S-Senpai!? [She wasn't far off from where he landed, and she's pretty much frozen to the spot for the moment.]

[action] 1/2

[Shirou smiles when he sees her.]

Sakura! Wow, this is lucky.

[action] 2/2

[wontdieifkilled]

[But then that smile gives way to a look of confusion.]

...What's wrong? You look startled.

[action]

[returntospring]

You... you were just riding a dragon. [ISN'T THAT REASON ENOUGH TO BE SURPRISED???]

[action]

[wontdieifkilled]

...Oh. Right.

[He'd forgotten how surprising that might be to someone who hasn't spent over a year and a half in this world.]

I'm sorry. I guess I should have warned you beforehand.

[action]

[returntospring]

I-It's okay... [She laughs nervously.] I think I would have been surprised even if I knew what was coming.

If you will visit with me in person before you leave, I can be more specific. I do not trust open communication on these devices.

[action]

[wontdieifkilled]

...I guess that would make sense. Some of the evolutions here can be really shocking. Just wait until you see for yourself!

video;

[wontdieifkilled]

Okay. Can I come over now?

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

Yes, I will meet you out front. If anything to give you an embrace in goodbye, no?

video;

[wontdieifkilled]

Um...i-if you want.

[He's a little flustered by the idea.]

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

Hurry now. I hate to be kept waiting.

video;

[wontdieifkilled]

R-right.

[And he's there as quickly as he can get there.]

[ Does Saber look more girly than usual? Her hair is pulled up in that traditional ponytail she's been sporting since Merlin's disappearance and that just might be lip gloss on her lips. She'll approach Shirou with a tiny smile, awkward on her features, as she holds out her arms. ]

You will return someday, right?

[action]

[returntospring]

I've heard! I'm really excited... Saber-san said that the evolution of the one I got is very beautiful. [Oh!]

Ah, that's right! I didn't show you the Pokemon I received, did I?

action;

[wontdieifkilled]

[Well, that's got Shirou surprised. He's not used to seeing her dressed in such a feminine fashion.]

Um. Yeah. Yeah, I will.

[He's distracted.]

[action]

[wontdieifkilled]

Oh, you're right. You didn't. What did you get?

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

[ DEAL WITH IT, SHIROU. ]

Come on, will you not hug me? [ She refuses to pout. ] Must I make every advance myself?

[action]

[returntospring]

[She's searching through her bag now, pulling out the familiar red and white ball. She tosses it into the air, releasing the Ralts inside.]

Saber-san said the species name was "Ralts"... but I've been calling her Dahlia.

[She smiles down at the pokemon, who's looking uncertainly at Shirou as she clings tightly to the hem of Sakura's skirt.]

action;

[wontdieifkilled]

Um. Uh.

[Brain restarted.]

Oh! Oh, right.

[Hug times!]

[action]

[wontdieifkilled]

Oh, yeah! I've seen those before. I don't have one myself, though.

[He crouches down to get a better look.]

Have you looked up its information in the Pokédex yet?
