SURPRISE! A STORM.
for @hcsangjoon ! date & location december 2017 @ the geumjeong district.
‘don’t worry about staying in,’ they said, ‘the weather will be clear today!’ they said.
weather channels were liars— he should just never leave the comfort of his gym or his home, maybe ask garchomp if he could create some sort of underground passageway from his home to the gym to avoid mishaps like this again. fooled by the forecasters on his television, he decided to take a hike in the geumjeong mountains with little teddy, and only the little teddiursa since he wasn’t expecting anything to happen. it started raining, but they both loved it so they endured it and continued their journey around;
that was until it had gotten a little too dark for the teddiursa’s liking followed by loud thunder and bright lightning when teddy began wailing.
his only option was to scoop the little pokémon into his arms and sprint for the nearest cave he could find. even when they were out of the rain, attempting to dry off as the storm, teddy wasn’t getting any quieter. the thunder was loud in their ears no matter how much deeper into the cave the gym leader would go, and the flashes of lightning could be seen reflecting on the walls from the entrance. what he was more worried about was the fact that teddy was still young, thus prone to getting sick more often than he should— he needed to find some source of warmth soon.
“hello? is anyone around?” there were only two places someone could appear, and that could be his left where the entrance into the cave was, or to his left where the passageway continues, deeper into the mountain and deeper into pokémon territory. for all tatsuya knew, he could wake up a whole bunch of pokémon and anger them into coming out for an attack, but he was desperate. he stays put, holding a shivering teddiursa to his chest with only a teeny bit of panic laced in his tone. “helllllo! hello?!”
