[It's snowing.

That's right, it's snowing. The ground is covered in a nice thick layer of snow. More importantly, there's a nice and neat series of tables with scarves, mittens, ear muffs, and sleds leaning against it. (A few of the tables even serve hot chocolate that inexplicably hasn't gone cold, for those who need to warm up.)

It's the perfect weather for snow activities since the snow isn't too heavy... You know, except for the occasional Cryogonal that falls from the sky. There seem to be quite a few of those.

But don't let that stop you from some of the classics- snow angels, sledding, snowball fights... Tis the season and all.]

[Ethan's definitely sure that there isn't snow until the top of Mt. Silver. The scenery is definitely different enough as well.

But hey, there's free hot chocolate, and the hot chocolate is delicious. So that's something. He, his two Pichu (one has a strange notched ear; the other has odd coloration,) and some new bird Pokémon he doesn't recognize are all huddling together and having tastes of his hot chocolate in peace.

(He's prime snowball bait.)]

[allbymyself]

[There was that girl's wimpy friend -- and with three weak looking Pokémon to boot. Easy targets, total weaklings, and thus someone he shouldn't even consider talking to much less messing with.

On the other hand, it would be good to get his Aerodactyl some hands on battling experience (as his beast's vicious jaws were apparently allergic to attacking wild Pokémon; how spineless).

So, yeah. He'll saunter over.]

Cold? [~Not as cold as your attitude, Silver~] Hmph. Only someone as weak as a friend of that girl's would need to huddle up with their Pokémon for warmth.

[petalblizzard]

[...Oh c'mon Silver, weren't we over this? A friend of that girl's? What's that supposed to mean? ...Well, whatever. Roll with it.]

I guess so. [Whatever you say, buddy.] The hot chocolate's delicious. You should try some.

[allbymyself]

[Not until he loses to that dragon master, bro. Who he hasn't met yet. Let's not think about future events okay. If the sneer wasn't clear enough on his face, his tone is practically dripping in it.]

I'll pass. Unlike you, I'm not cold at all.

[So obviously he doesn't need any hot chocolate.]

[petalblizzard]

Good. You won't get sick.

[He takes a quick sip of his hot chocolate before standing up. ...He's a little taller than when he last saw him. Huh. Well, it has been a while...]

[allbymyself]

Just like Lyra. [Grumble grumble. What a stupid applehead.] You should worry about yourself.

[The last thing he wants, or needs, is someone commenting on his health.]

[petalblizzard]

Oh, you finally met Lyra? [You were good to his childhood buddy, right Silver

right]

[allbymyself]

[UGHHH]

As if I could avoid her. That annoying weakling's always following me and trying to be my friend. Ha! As if I'd affiliate myself with someone like her.




[HE'S VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT YOUR BEST FRIEND, YOU SEE.]

[petalblizzard]

...Since when?

[Come on, he wasn't up on Mt. Silver for that long. He knows Lyra wanted to meet Silver (and him because he still hasn't seen her newly evolve Azumarill yet) but... It's a little hard to believe that he's been following him around...]

[tidaldrum]

[Prime snowball target, meet snowball.

Ethan's not even sorry. Sameface doesn't matter to him.]

[petalblizzard]

[It's a direct hit! It takes Ethan a moment to brush the snow off his face and.

Gee. That guy sure looks a lot like him.

Copycat?

Petrel?

Picked up the same hat and cap?...]

[tidaldrum]

[Your better half.

And one who isn't going to let up on the snowballs. HURRY UP BRO, ONE-SIDED FIGHTS ARE SO BORING.

(And the only thing this Ethan ever faces. God.)]

[petalblizzard]

[Oh. Oh, we're doing a snowball fight. Okay. Lyra loves snowball fights, so maybe this weird guy that's working his look does too.

(He is slow to action so the two Pichu previously huddled in his hoodie are currently making their own snowballs to protect their turf thank you!!)]

[tidaldrum]

[Working it better than you.

A few more whoosh at him, and then Ethan's going to duck behind... something. Which is just his snoozing Feraligatr covered in snow, but he makes a hella fine barrier.]

[petalblizzard]

[A shield, huh.

...Gyarados will make a good barrier. Right? Of course he will. Come on out, Gyarados. You're on snow fort duty.]

[tidaldrum]

[Oh wow, what a beast.

Ethan peeks over his allidile, his next snowball at the ready. Time to test this guy's willingness to make a strike.]

[petalblizzard]

[He doesn't bother! Not for a while. Ah yes, the stretch of silence before the attack begins.

...Turns out he's been making a huge snowball on Gyarados' tail, and Gyarados launches it once it's ready.

Incoming--!]

[goldenlyre]

Wooooo-hooo!

[He's also a prime target for sledding. Lyra is riding hard and fast, her Magikarp in her arms and Sprouty running behind her as the sled descends

gets caught on a rock

and she's flung out and maybe onto Ethan, if he's not fast enough.

Either way that hot cocoa is getting spilled and Sprouty is extremely apologetic for his trainer.]

[petalblizzard]

[Whoa, whoa, whoa- wait. He's got this. He's tossing his hot chocolate aside and catching Lyra!

...More like being used as a cushion for Lyra, but hey. He could use a little character building best friend catching anyway.

The Pichu and Fletchinder are so fucking getting out of Ethan's hoodie man fuck that noise that ain't worth it]

[goldenlyre]

[Fishy wriggles in her grasp and Lyra'll sit up in Ethan's lap. Hi, best friend.]

Whoops! Hi, Ethan! I guess I judged my landing just right, even if the rock wasn't planned. [Heheh. Yeah. All part of her plan, sure.] Fishy likes fast speeds though, so I thought I'd take her for a ride.

[Sprouty will offer his back for the two hoodieless Pokémon. You can bury under his many scarves. It's warm like that.]

[petalblizzard]

[Could

could we like get the floppy fish out of my face before we converse yes

okay cool]

Is Fishy new? [Sorry he hasn't been around best friend he promises he won't leave to go sit on top of a mountain forever--]

[goldenlyre]

[Oh.



Yes, different Ethan, okay. Lyra wonders what kind of story this one has ♥.]

Uh huh! I got her my first day here, and she's going to be the strongest and most amazing Magikarp she can be! [Fishy wiggles, pleased by the determination and willing to shown her own!!

Though she'll happily settle down again to remain warm.] That bird's new too, huh? It's soooo cute!

[petalblizzard]

It is! Wish I knew what it was, though.

[She chirps happily! ...From inside the comfort and warmth of Sprouty's scarves.]

Is that your Meganium?

[goldenlyre]

[Yeah, good little bird. Nice and warm.]

Yup. His name's Sprouty. I remember when he was just a lil Chikorita... Always wanting me to carry him since he didn't like walking. And now he's happy to run through the snow.

[Snow he's not, Lyra. He'd rather not. Sprouty will right the sled and lay on it. No snow.]

[petalblizzard]

What a cool Meganium. Meg didn't really want to come out of her ball. [He feels you Sprouty, you're a trooper okay]
