[longwinded]

alright, alright.
i'm coming.

[Okay yes, he does that thing and he is where Dave told him to be.]

now where are you?
:/

it popped up in my way! ;~;

[turntechtrainer]

[There's the drumming of hooves on tile before Rapidash trots into view with Dave on her back. They come to a stop before him, fire shifting as Lady B flicks her tail.] Right here, obviously.

I AM OFFEND!!!!

[longwinded]

[......John is a little shocked. Okay. This place was sucky just a second ago. It is somewhat bearable now.]

Okay. I'm sorry I doubted you.

/weeps

[turntechtrainer]

[As if on cue, Bro the Bagon leaps out off Lady B's back and Dave curses, grabbing for him.] Damn it, you can't fly from here. Oh my god, how did your species survive??

[Once he has him secure, he slips off his starter's back and sighs.] It's cool. I'd have doubted me too.

[longwinded]

Dude this is a pretty sweet set up you have. They're so cool. Like holy fuck man. [He saw a glimpse of some of John's pokemon and still thought he was pulling a prank. But nope.]

This place is unbelievable.

[turntechtrainer]

Yeah it is. Then again so are ghost pokes. Also really fuckin creepy but you're going to get that gleam in your eyes, aren't you.

[longwinded]

You never know man, I just might. Just let me be amazed okay.

[He points at Lady B.] Is it going to object to me patting it?

[turntechtrainer]

She won't mind one bit. You're John. [She knows you. That's unspoken as he reaches up to rub Lady B's nose while the Bagon hangs out via holding onto him.] We could go for a ride later if you want. No one goes faster than B.

[longwinded]

[Well okay, he's gonna just go and pet Lady B's nose. Pet pet pet. such a good Pokemon.]

Like, ride on her back? For real? [....!] We can actually do that?

[turntechtrainer]

Yeah, course we can. I wouldn't say it if I hadn't done it. What do you take me for? I'm not the boy who cried flaming unicorn.

[Wait.]

Ok. I did but that's not the point here.

[longwinded]

Why aren't we doing it then. Riding your flaming unicorn. I mean only if she's okay with it.

[Nose pats.]

[turntechtrainer]

We're not riding, because you didn't ask. Now you have. Come on, let's head down to the meadow floor. [He motions for John to follow him as he and Lady B stride off.]

[longwinded]

[He gets in stride with the two as they head off to the meadow floor.]

So, she won't set the meadow on fire?

[turntechtrainer]

Course not. She might be made of fire in the mane department but these hooves are solid and nonflammable. [He laughs and leads the way down with his hands in his pockets.]

[longwinded]

Alright, as long as you're sure though. Also as long as she doesn't try anything funny.

[This flaming unicorn business is one John is treading lightly with. This unicorn could prank him!]

[turntechtrainer]

Listen to you, [He snickers as he descends the stiars, leading John downwards deeper into the tower. It's odd but all things in this place are. Lady B picks her own way down with care.] worried of getting hood winked by a horse.

[longwinded]

Listen man, you never know who is gonna hoodwink you. Whether it be a regular horse a fucking flaming unicorn.

No hard feelings Lady. [PATTING HER GENTLY...]
