Are any of you familiar with the legend of the Dragon's Gate? They say that there exists a huge waterfall running off a great mountain. Fish swim upstream against the harsh current, but most tire out and are swept away. But those who have the courage to persist and make it to the top of the waterfall are transformed into a beautiful, powerful dragon.

It's a good lesson, isn't it?

That's right! Even though this school has countless obstacles and hurdles and dangers looming quite literally right over our heads, if we give up, we too will be pushed back and will make no progress! We must press on through the unforgiving current, and when we make it, we will come out stronger than ever! All right! Let's do our best to reach the top!!

[What brought this up? Is someone trying to keep himself from going nuts at the idea of one last year here... probably.]

On another note... There are many Pokemon and trainers here, so if anybody has any advice on raising a Magikarp, I'm all ears!

[Ah. Ah. That's it.

ACTION TIMES: Kiyotaka can be found bonding with an ugly fish he lets swim in a kiddie pool out in the stadium some days. Most of the time he can be found studying. Livin' on the edge. Although whatever he's doing, he seems to be favouring his left arm a little.]

[wow don't use that against him

EVEN THOUGH HE DESERVES IT

oh god oh man too bad he texts like a grandpa. HRRRNGGHHHHH He is so boned.]

ACTION TIME

[travelingbelle]

[Ooops. Too bad THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.]

Scoot your butt!

[forgetbeam]

What-- Already?! I've only finished one text!

[travelingbelle]

[She checks the time and-- wow, ok. She thought she was bad at texting.]

Why didn't you just call them... Well whatever, we'll deal with the rest of them later. Grab your partner and let's go.

[forgetbeam]

[NO. CALLING WOULD HAVE BEEN. A GOOD IDEA...

Too late for regrets now. He grabs the Pokeball off his desk and opens the door, though he frowns a little. If they're headed downtown...]

This is about the trainer's exam, isn't it?

[Maybe part of his slow texting had to do with also talking to Sonny in the meantime W H O O P S]

[travelingbelle]

[The pokeball in his hand was noted. Blue blinked, then grinned a little.]

Pretty much. We're gonna keep you outta Pokejail.

[forgetbeam]

[Pokejail

POKEJAIL

POKEJAIL]

The-- the right thing to do would be to turn myself in now, wouldn't it?! If I've already broken the law, I can't just get a license now and pretend that makes it all alright!!

[You teased the wrong guy, Blue.]

1/2

[travelingbelle]

... Uh. Oh.

[travelingbelle]

No, uh, that was a joke. I was teasing you. It's ok! C'mon, we just have to get you officially registered and all that.

[She's going to lightly nudge him along. Let's go before your face leaks more.]

[forgetbeam]

[Good work Blue, diffusing that tearbomb half a second before things got REALLY ugly and leaky.]

What--?! Why would you even joke about something like that!? That's a serious issue!!

[HE TAKES THE LAW SUPER SERIOUSLY. But okay. He'll just take a seriously deep breath and calm his tits instead.]

Alright, let's go. We need to catch that train!

[travelingbelle]

Sorry, my boyfriend- [shit that felt weird to say] -is a horrible influence.

[SCOOTING ALONG TO THE TRAINBUS.]

I sort of figured you'd think "pokejail" sounds ridiculous... But don't worry, the fact that you have him in a pokeball means you are already more or less officially his trainer now.

[forgetbeam]

[Combination train/bus/subway/actual giant blue shell.]

How does it sound any more ridiculous than PokeMart or pokeball?

[travelingbelle]

Haha, I guess you're right! Those are basically brand names tho, so it'd be like a brand named jail.

[forgetbeam]

Actually, that... sounds like it would fit right in, here.

--Anyway, that's not important!! I need you to help me do an emergency review on everything I need to know to get this license! Go on, quiz me!!

[n o]

[travelingbelle]

Hoo, that's a good attitude to have. A quiz... Hmhm....

[Blue thought about it as they hurried along, folding her hands behind her head. What kind of questions... This was some Professor like stuff. She laughed a bit to herself, but then dropped her arms to point at him melodramatically.]

Here's one for you! Why is it important that you get a license? You can take your time to think about it if you want.

[forgetbeam]

Because that's the law, of course!!

[...he didn't stop to think about it AT ALL]

[travelingbelle]

Ah... Well, that's a very rigid reason, sure. There's certainly rules and laws in place, especially if you go on to participate in any of the leagues, but there's... More to it.

Why do you think you need one?

[forgetbeam]

[Because he... doesn't want to go to Pokejail?!

Okay, no, there has to be an actual answer to this. A personal response, beyond all the technicalities. These never were his specialty, but it just meant he'd have to take an extra few seconds to think about it.]

...Well, it's... to prove that I'm capable of doing this in the first place, isn't it? This is a living creature we're talking about, not a toy! If I can't prove that I'm responsible enough to take care of him, then I shouldn't be allowed to have one at all! Basically, it's the same reasoning behind getting any other kind of license!
