timing is everything [w]

So it was finally time he get a little more serious about this and catch some other pokemon. If he wanted to challenge the gym leader in Petalburg he was going to have to have pokemon other than his Ponyta with him. He’d tried a few times but he guessed he hadn’t come by the routes during the right time since he’d never really came across anything. It should be different now though…at least he certainly hoped so. Fuchsia colored eyes glanced towards where Scheherazade quietly drank from the nearby lake. The filly finally calm after hours of playing in the tall grass and kicking up a fuss since she’d been in her pokeball for a while recovering from that day in the rain. Once in a while he found himself watching her for any signs of tiredness but it seemed that she’d made a full recovery and he was just over worrying about it.

He let out a soft huff as he sat down on the grass, watching Scheherazade’s ears flick back towards him at the sound. Her head lifted for a moment and she looked at him, eyes piercing as she seemed to look him over before lowering her head to the grass. She sniffed at it a bit, roaming around for a little before finding a spot that seemed to please her and settling to graze a bit. Kohaku smiled fondly at the filly before leaning back on his hands, looking up at the sky and doing some cloud watching. He’d give the ponyta some time to relax before they set out to find some wild pokemon to wrangle up. He had a few pokeballs to use so it was about time he started getting them filled instead of just gathering dust…

Of course he should have known better than to settle down and get comfortable.

In only a matter of moments his eyelids were getting heavy and a yawn was being pulled from his lips. He tried to fight it for a moment or two before he decided it was best to just give in and maybe take just a little nap. Kohaku’s intentions must have been obvious because his ponyta was suddenly bumping her head with his shoulder and settling down behind him, nudging his shoulder gently before he got the hint. With a little grin he leaned against her warm body and sighed, scratching her nose gently as he murmured playfully. “You’re definitely the best pillow ever.” She snorted sharply in his face causing him to laugh lightly before he promised sleepily, “Just for a little while and then we’ll head out.” Without another word he drifted off and Scheherazade kept watch over her human trainer, determined to repay him for his concern that she knew he’d been feeling lately.
