"... Oh, Hi! You're talking to Rakka, but, uh, if you're hearing this then it means I can't answer the pokegear right now. Don't worry. Just make sure you leave a message and I'll reply to it!"

Beep!

Of course. [Ashley doesn't even think about it. Everything goes out the window, like logistics. Traveling back would kind of be impossible...but she can, she reminds herself, have her Ralts teleport her.]

When- whenever you want. I can...I can't...be gone for long, but I can come visit you.

[charcoalfeather]

[There's a lot that Rakka isn't taking into consideration when she asks for things like that. As much as she'd like to think otherwise, there's still things she doesn't know. Though, she does know that, right now she's lonely.

... that's not that she wanted to feel like.]

Y-yeah, of course! I could even... come and see if, if I get my badge, I mean. [Anything, really. She would be open to anything. Violet city was nice, but she has been here so long.]

...I, um, did get something from Bakugou, though.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Maybe Violet has too many memories... She almost asks if Rakka wants to find a different place, a different area unsullied by sadness- but--]

...What is it?

[charcoalfeather]

[It's worth the chance to ask. But as for right now...]

...Well, I checked my pokemon in the PC a while ago, and there was one in there then I never caught before. [aaaand] It's Bakugou's pokemon, it just has to be... and now, I have it.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Like what happened with Chie... Oh, Rakka... I-I'm sorry. At least...you have something to remember him by, right?

[charcoalfeather]

Uhh, yeah.

[she sounds... very uncertain about this gift.]

I-it's the only pokemon he had, so it's really strong. He was always training with it...

[There's a bit "but" hanging onto the end of that sentence.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

...You're not sure if you can take care of it, huh?

[charcoalfeather]

It's really strong, and whenever he's out, he never listens to me and just tries to set things on fire... B-but I can handle it!

[Then, quietly.]

I think.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Rakka... Uh, I think... I remember something about needing badges to control high-level Pokémon. Maybe you shouldn't force it. Something bad could happen.

ice age passes and I remember this thread

[charcoalfeather]

No no, it's alright. I'll...

[....siiiiigh]

I don't know. I kind of thought about leaving him in the PC, but that doesn't feel right.

another passes while i try to get to it it's ok

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[...]

Maybe, don't fight with him. Just...spend time with him every now and then. How's that sound?

[charcoalfeather]

[...] O-okay. I'll do that.

I'll be careful, Ashley. I promise.
