01. I'm home [Text]

[[OOC: If the involved players would like her DR post to be canon, then this journal post can come after it. I'd be happy to finish those threads there.]]

Hello everyone. For those of you who may not know me, my name is Chiyo and I'm a Vaporeon. I first arrived at Smash Academy two years back and spent, according to the time here, a year away on an unexpected break. If by chance you may be curious as to where I've been, I was away traveling through a few worlds before I was able to find a portal to return here. Speaking of which, portals can be rather complicated to understand and use, so please be careful when you see or plan to use one, okay?

That aside, I'll be in college this year! I'm greatly looking forward to studying, spending time in the library and greenhouse, swimming, and hanging out with friends again. Although I'm saddened to have discovered that several friends I knew have left, I still look forward to making new friends and hope we'll have a pleasant year together.

In the meantime, I'll be taking a walk around the school and will be looking to reunite with some friends. If you'd like to meet or text me, please feel free to do so. I'll have my phone with me and will answer any texts as soon as I'm able.

Again, it's nice to be back. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble when I disappeared. If I did, I'd like to make it up to you. Other than that, hope you have a great day!



Private Text to Mondo:

Hello Mondo. If it's alright with you, could we meet? I'd like to talk to you. If not, then... I'll understand.

Sincerely,
Chiyo

Aww, I'm so happy for these two. :>

She didn't hold herself back and went in for a big bone-crushing hug. Jon was always someone she admired. If they were a pack, he'd be the alpha male she'd look up to and trust completely. She was absolutely elated to have him as the head of her family.

"I'm always proud of you, Jon," she said. "I can't wait to work with you. Fight for you. And with you."

Aaaaa, me too!! \o/ Though, I need to sleep now. XD

"Just be aware, I'll always do my utmost to work as hard as you do." Jon replied, leaning into that rib-shattering hug. "We're a team. That can never be a one-sided endeavor."

In his travels in Kanto and Johto, he had seen trainers who treated their Pokémon like tools. He had no words for how that made him feel, but it was not something he'd ever seek to emulate.

"Come on, then. Let's carry on with getting you to your dorm for some rest, eh?" he said, pulling back just a little bit. "We can figure out any other details tomorrow once you've had a full night's sleep and some time to unwind."

He, personally, was going to send Riwane an e-mail. (Once he figured out how to do that.) She was probably going to be as excited and happy as he was, if not even more so. She'd often lamented not having team mates. Now, she'd gotten her wish granted in a wonderful way.

Yep, I gotta sleep too. XD Night night!

The amount of joy she felt each time he mentioned they were a team was endless. She almost felt disappointed to have to go take a rest. She didn't think she'd be able to sleep. But she'd try. For Jon's sake.

"Thank you again, Jon. For choosing me," she said before heading towards her door and, with reluctance, bid her brand new trainer a good day before entering her room.

"You're welcome, Chiyo. Thank you for accepting."

He bid her a good rest and walked back to his own room.

Anyone who knew him well might have been surprised to see how wide he was grinning as he made his way down the halls towards the teacher's dorms.
