As the grass underneath our feet slowly gave way for the cold cement of Escennia, I pondered upon Floyd's question. It wasn't every day that I remembered why I did what I did. Things have changed though. At one time I was just trying to reconnect with my father. I wasn't all that surprised that over the years that idea has become lost. Forgotten even. In the end, I found a reason to adventure that was much more than I had anticipated.

"If you asked me that when we first met, I'd simply tell you that I was trying to follow in my father's footsteps." I paused for a moment, trying to avoid tearing up a bit. "He died when I was young. An accident while he was training up in old Legacy. Again, that was then. Now..." I paused for a moment. "I really have no idea. I've met plenty of interesting people over the years. Some not as human as others. Seen some interesting sites. Beaten a few gyms. Raised some very good friends. But not anyone of those is the single reason why I became a trainer. In the end, I guess that the reason I become a trainer is the same reason that most people do. It just makes life a little more interesting. Deep down, once you peel away all the other reasons, I'm sure that most people think alike in that sense. The real question is: why did you?"

I kept moving as the conversation continued. Slowly, but surely, we made our way through the city streets until we reached the Pokemon Center. Not a difficult task mind you. It helps when they have plenty of signs to direct you to it. Made me feel like a new trainer all over again. Can't say I'm about to argue about it though.

"Well, this is my stop. You gonna go do something up in the ship?" I tossed back at the alien.

Attempt 1:


Now the ball was in his court, and he thought about the question all the way into town. Why did he become a trainer?

"At first I didn't think of it like that. When I was in orbit, studying your planet, I saw two things. Money and Pokemon. You had to have one or the other to have power and defend yourself from other humans. So the first thing I did was get a pokemon and the second thing I did was get a job."

He shrugged.

"I guess the real question now is why am I still a trainer? You guys aren't out to dissect me - which I was seriously worried about. You've seen the movies. They're horrible! You're not very inviting to alien life at all. They see that shit, they're gonna want to just cook your planet and keep going. You're pretty damn lucky you're in the middle of no where."

They had came to the pokecenter and now he was shaking his head. "I dunno man. I don't know why I'm still a trainer. I just don't get it anymore. There used to be teams that competed openly - now it's all about having the best stuff. There used to be bad guys to take down and they've all disappeared. We've turned into a bunch of pacifists."

He sighed and looked up at the ship and then looked back at his friend.

"Ya know, lets take a break for a little bit, get back together in a few weeks. Giftmas is coming up, lots of shopping to do and all..."

[Floyd is shooting the breeze here. We can RP a bit more and then we can insert the gap and pick things up after Floyd stops hiding from the world again. Poof, timeline all back to normality.]

I listened to Floyd's answer to my question. It was about as profound as one could expect from him. Which is to say, it was logical to some degree. More so than normal. It made perfect sense to become a trainer with his explanation. Specially if take into consideration the bit about the movies.

Halfway through our conversation Floyd just floored me. He was beginning to have doubts as to why he's journeying. His place in the world it seems. Fairly evident considering what he just said. It's true that we have become pacifists. You wouldn't find me complaining about it, but he does have point. Things have become a little less exciting.

"Can't argue with you on that point Floyd... we have become pacifists." I took a moment to mull things over once more. "Can't say I'm too put off by it though. A little time off is never a bad thing."

Only the alien's final statement made me stop thinking about the past and focus on the present. Presents even. The ones I needed to buy for my nieces and family. Maybe one for myself.

"Yeah, I also have some shopping to get done. It's best to do it early. We can avoid the lines." I paused for a moment.
"How about we meet up in Bloodaisy? Lots of sand. Fruity drinks. No cold. What do you say?"

[ A Machop Egg has been produced. +1 :happiness to the parents. ]
[ Depositing Aerodactyl and Nidoking. Withdrawing Ditto. ]
[ Ditto is forcefeed 4 Watmels. It now has 2 happy points thus is officially humpable. ]
[ Ditto is humping Poli off in a dark corner. Calling heads for egg coin flip. (Eggs will have Blizzard TM due to daddy.) ]

Floyd nodded, knowing full well if his plan worked, he wouldn't be seeing Angel ever again. "Yeah that sounds good. Bloodaisy. Nice and warm. Right after the holidays." He smiled and then he couldn't help himself. The awkwardness of the moment kicked in.

Cue impulsive hug. The alien gave the human a rib crushing hug that gave Angel an excellent look at the burner still mounted on his shoulder - while the hot end smooshed into his face. That's a friend for you.

Releasing Angel from his death grip, Floyd shuffled back, sensing the awkwardness. "Uh, I uh..just wanted to say thanks. You've been a great friend. My only friend actually. Everyone else sort of ditched me, but when I needed you - you were right there." He nodded and looked down. "You know, if I could change things, I'd totally welcome you back on Sordia. But uh, you probably get eaten...anyway. I wanted to say thanks."

He looked back at his entourage and nodded. "Come'n guys. We're calling it quits for now." Floyd cast one more glance back at Angel as he dematerialized. He wanted to remember his friend just as he was.

[And...I think that's the last of the weird time hopping around. I'll create a new thread in Bloodaisy.]

I could little but just freeze in astonishment. Floyd was... hugging me. What the hell? Since when does this guy go around giving hugs and things like that. I know that on some deep level, Helsing was enjoying this. Either that or he was puking in a corner in disgust. The Alakazam was fickle like that. Still, Floyd was hugging me.

"Sure... no problem man." I managed to half say as I tried catching my breath. Guy has a hug like a bear. Plus he had a laser cannon thing pointed right at my face. One wrong twitch and I might've set it off. Blown my head clean off.
"Well, I'll see you later Floyd. Merry Giftmas!" With that, he teleported away to his ship.

Taking in a deep breath, I turned around and entered the Pokemon Center to do my business and heal my Pokemon. Soon I would continue on my journey once more. My plan involved capturing a Legendary or two, which meant that a lot of work had to be done. Hopefully I'd live to see the alien in Bloodaisy. We can drink ourselves silly on the beach and tell stories. Reminds me that I ought to go buy Floyd a bottle of good liquor. Maybe a twenty year old scotch. I'm sure he'd like it... would also make for a good way to forget that I was hugged and stared down the barrel of some high tech laser gun. Yeah...

[ Ditto and Poli continue doing things in a dark corner. Calling Heads. ]
[ Time passes and we go past Giftmas! ]
