Sparkstorm the Raichu Open Post

[sparkstorm]

[Sparkstorm the Raichu is enjoying a day off from training, and is indulging in his favorite past time; Eating. It doesn't matter if it's Pokemon food or not (although he's very partial to the human dish known as 'pie') because he'll consume it like a Snorlax who's just woken up from a nap.]

[He's gathered quite a selection too. There are berries, apples, pears, wrapped candies (not rare ones, sadly) chocolate bars, Chinese leftovers snagged from someone's fridge, cheese sticks, carrot sticks, juice boxes, soda cans, and free samples of Pokemon treats suckered off the store worker with a huge teary-eyed pout. Yes, he's going to eat all of it.]

[Why, would you like some? Don't be afraid to ask, for Sparks is more than willing to share a bite or two!]

Meeting a New Friend

[creeping_continent]

[A low rumbling emanated from an unknown source in the distance, pausing periodically before occurring again and again at a steady rate. As the rumbling got louder and louder, the ground itself trembled ever so slightly. When the rumbling reached its crescendo, it suddenly stopped. What took its place was a shuffling sound... the sound of dirt being dug up and dragged.]

[The source of the sound turned out to be a Torterra who just happened to notice there was another Pokemon in the vicinity. He hadn't realized that the noise he was making could be heard by someone else, so he had... "quickly" modified his method of movement so he wouldn't make as much noise. He saw the Raichu sitting happily, eating his food, and thought... well, it would be nice to make a new friend. He shuffled over to the Raichu and spoke in a low rumble.]

Hello. My name is Pangaea. What's yours?

[sparkstorm]

[Sparkstorm looks up from the chocolate he was shoveling into his face, startled by the shaking of the ground. What if it was something huge and terrible coming to take all of his food?!]

[Oh, but it's not anyone scary; just a Torterra wandering by. He can deal with that. Especially when they where nice enough to come over and introduce themselves.]

Hi there! [He greeted in return, waving the bitten off half of a chocolate bar around.] I'm Sparkstorm!

[Noticing that he hadn't finished the rest of the snack, he woofed it down and licked the melted bits off of his paws.]

[Pangaea turned his head quizzically at the Raichu in front of him. My goodness, how did he think he was going to be able to eat all of that food? There was quite a lot there, and though the Raichu seemed to be making a dent in the pile, there was still a ton there.]

It's nice to meet you, Sparkstorm.

[Pangaea stood there for a short while as Sparkstorm finished off the chocolate bar, looking at the pile of food. Oh... wait a second, were those... they were! Apples! They were such simple fruits, but Pangaea loved them oh-so-much! Maybe he could... no, it wouldn't be fair to take someone's food when you had just met them! Gosh, though, they were so enticing... Pangaea elected to take a more roundabout route to try to get one of those delicious treats.]

That's... quite a lot of food you have. Are you sharing it with anyone?

[sparkstorm]

No, not really.

[He picks up half a sandwich and starts munching on it. It's not that he won't share, it's just that he isn't sharing with anyone at the moment. Because he's all alone. So it makes sense in his head when he says it but then sounds a little... off... when spoken aloud.]

[OH WAIT.]

Ah, but you can come join me if you want! There's plenty of room!

[Sparkstorm pats the ground beside him as an offering of a place at his makeshift table.]
