[ A three-way phonecall with the world's most awful people at picking up their phones? Sure, this can't go terrible. This is a great idea. He's definitely not going to be waiting into the next year for one of them to answer. And then as for the second one...
But here it is, phones ringing and waiting, and Green was smart enough to get himself a seat and a magazine, already flipped inside its pages.
Okay but for real, who is going to actually answer here first. ]
[A phonecall is still, unfortunately the best way to get a hold of Leaf. Usually she'd just ignore it, usually it would stop after a few minutes and she can deal with that annoyance.
The problem here is that it's been an hour and it still hasn't stopped. Actually now that she looks at the caller she's no longer surprised how long it was left ringing.]
What.
[If she's snippy it's because she was in the middle of exploring a cave and the ringing made the Pokemon reluctant to approach.]
[ Hey. After a while, Red has gotten a better understanding of call etiquette. He has called his mom...!! Anyway, he picks up the phone last, but he doesn't seem as grumpy as Leaf, at least? He's merely tending to his Pokemon, so Green caught him at the right time here.
However, this is his reply to every call from Green. ]
[ A snippy Leaf? Yeah, that's fine. Red? Let's not call that abomination fine. Actually, he didn't hear anything either of them said with the phone on the table.
An hour for them to answer, though? That's something when sound comes through from a source that isn't the television turned down low, the magazine quickly discarded about five minutes into his wait. He came prepared with a movie.
But he'll pause that now as he picks the phone back up, pressing it to his ear. ]
[Who calls people for an hour and isn't expecting them to eventually pick up? She's even snippier now. At least have the decency to pay attention to your own dumb phone call.
I think we both said something. [ BUT. ] Hi, Leaf.
[ At least he has the decency to greet someone in the call unlike someone ready to wear green capris. Red isn't at all annoyed, but he is a little concerned. Seldom does Green reach out to them, let alone both of them at the same time.
He understands that's a hassle, so he'll lay off him for now. ]
What's up? If you're sick, I'm sure Daisy can fix you up with some nice tea.
[ But he'll side with Leaf a bit. It's all a little weird. ]
[ There might've been a scoff there with Leaf's first comment, but he's in a conversation with two weirdos on a phone at the same time. Give him a break. ]
Wha? Sick? --Whatever, you're both there? Good! You know what that sound your phone makes is for, don't you? Pick up like a normal person for once, both of you! I have better things to do than wait around! Who even bothers ringing you two unless it's important anyway?
[Green doesn't get a hello. He doesn't deserve one after being so rude.]
You're acting strange for you. What's so important, Green?
[She sure knows the noise her phone makes and makes an effort to make sure only three people in the world have it. The less people can get in contact with her and disturb her sightseeing the better.]
[ WHICH is better than the times where Snorlax rolled over it. Yes, plural. Why isn't Green grateful that Red picked up at all?
Either way, he's mentioning it in case a certain gym leader tried to call in the morning. Well, that's his excuse. Red will wait patiently for Green to explain himself since he glossed over his question. At least Leaf is amping on the pressure for him, so silence on his end for now. ]
[ Wait, why is everybody going hi? Where's his hi? They're so ungrateful. ]
What's important is that I'm booking tickets on a trip to some islands in the Alola region, and you've both got this call to decide if you're coming or not. It's got caves, a mountain, guardian deity pokémon -- everything to keep the two of you happy.
Oh, and you're paying for your own tickets when we meet, so don't get any ideas! Now hurry up and give me and answer!
[ Not sure why (probably cause the mouse hates Green). Red is pretty excited, so he lets himself simmer in all these emotions. They're going to travel! Islands of a new regions--new Pokemon. New people. There's also the chance to be with his best friends again. All of this is too good to be true even with all of these conditions.
It's sounds like Green. The extraneous details and familiar methods of deflection sound like Green, too. Leaf's got the right idea to question him. ]
Green told me not to talk to strangers... But I'm in, anyway.
[ He'll go with you, familiar stranger. Take him away. ]
[ Yes, there you go, there's your dry put on laugh for how hilarious the pair of you are. Definitely not another way to dodge questions. ]
You've got two weeks to meet me at [ this airport in this place ], unless you think you need me to lead you all the way there. [ Ugh, people don't know how hard being considerate is, etc. etc. ] Two weeks should be enough time for you two to come out of whatever hole you're in, right?
Oh yeah, and the ticket's gonna come to 40,000. That's your return too, and I have a place for us to stay. ...not that either of you will need it.
[ 40k poke doesn't sound too bad. Red has to check his finances (lol) and look up some directions to this airport. For a moment, he wonders why they need to go on an airplane considering they have Pokemon that can surf and swim, but he decides Green probably knows best.
Pikachu has been talking in the background the whole time though-- ]
Pikachu wants to know if there will be air conditioning.
I'm not answering stupid questions. [ There's a big difference, and since Red's comment comes somewhere in there-- ]
Like that one.
[ Anyway. ]
I've got family there who knows I'm coming over. He'll let you stay with him if you need it. What he said. [ Green didn't ask at all. ] I'm going to be busy, so I'll be staying wherever I need to. But I hear the beaches are nice, so maybe you'll catch me on some of them!
[ Ugh. Why did he make this phone call again?? Why does he even bother?? ]
I didn't assume. He said it! He... [ Sighing, Green gives up. Know what, he isn't going to explain. ] Just don't bother me until the day, alright? I'm too busy to deal with the pair of you.
And don't bother Daisy about me. [ Note to self, remind Daisy not to tell them where he lives. ]
[Sinnoh's not that far from Kanto but it is far enough that it's going to take her a while before she comes home. There's a pause as she considers how long that's going to take.]
[ Since she already placed an estimated time, Red decides to go along with it. From where he is, he can technically see Green a little less than half an hour if the guy is in Kanto. If he isn't, he'll ask Daisy despite the warning.
However, he knows very well how he reacts to him, so this is all for the best. ]
[ And click. This might have been the first time in forever Green's talked to either of them, but that doesn't mean he's about to have a teary good bye or give them time to say bye back. Who do you think he is.
Surely none of this will turn out a nightmare for him. ]
[ Why is he always stuck with such weird people? Red ends up still staying on the line for a little bit, wondering if they did hang up.
... Oh, okay. Well, he'll hang up, too. Though he'll definitely visit home in three days just to catch everyone. Even if Green mentions not being present.
The pair of them could get lost in the middle of nowhere (or far, far deep inside nowhere, on top of nowhere--), but that was out of choice. They achieved what they always set out to do, or getting close enough to that goal, so to simply think they'd get distracted or not make their way on his doorstep...
Well, maybe they would. Maybe they wouldn't. When was perhaps the only question than any doubt about their eventual presence, but when he has travel papers and actual adult business to sort out, permits obtained, blah blah blah... he doesn't want to focus on that. They have families! He gave strict orders to Daisy that no, he doesn't need to see them before they go, tell them he lives in Celadon City if you have to say anything.
But of course, his luck is never that good. Because everyone knows that Viridian makes more sense and his pokémon can't be cooped up in their balls all day, and all it takes is being careless and deciding to let Arcanine out for some fresh air in the park, eyes connecting with -- ohhhh, no. ]
No.
[ Arcanine's ears poke up, nose too, from the flower bed she had been investigating, as Green's quick to turn, like he can still make an escape from this situation-- ]
[There's Leaf in her traveling clothes, perking up at that familiar Arcanine. On her shoulder her Ditto making pleased little noises at seeing a friend.]
Good to see you, Green.
[She's already walking his way. She promised she'd be here, so here she is, three days after the phone call.]
[ it looks like the two of them met up before they found Green? Not a good day for the local Gym Leader here. Red knows very well what his friend is trying to do and it doesn't deter him at all. Pikachu who rests on his shoulder... Does not look happy, glaring daggers into Green's dumb spiked hair.
He follows after leaf with a take out bag. ]
I brought soup.
[ As he mentioned before. It's all toasty and ready for them. Be glad they didn't eat yet? Since... They can very well have eaten it all. ]
[ Arcanine barks, pleased even when as Green turns on a heavy step and crossed his arms, expression clear as to what he's going to be writing in his personal journal later that day. ]
Didn't I tell you both to go home? Go back to Pallet Town! [ Huff huff huff, grumble grumble grumble. ] I never agreed to meet for lunch!
[ No, he doesn't remember anything about soup...go away...let him be cool... ]
[ i need to track this entry... He isn't exactly ignoring Green, but he likes Leaf's plans better. Pikachu is enjoying the view from Red's shoulder, waving at Arcanine now that they're here. Despite the animosity towards her trainer, they seem to at least get along. ]
A picnic sounds good. I'm sure Arcanine would want some cake.
