[usedlaserbeam]

[So here's an idyllic scene for you: Yagyuu, back in Goldenrod City (wait a minute, how did he get to Goldenrod, he was just in Cerulean a minute ago—) and hanging out in the grass near the Tennis Haus, which has miraculously recovered from the wear and tear it took from the influx of garbage for this temporary weekend and looks as spiffy and well-kempt as ever. The paint job is clean, the grass is trimmed, the tennis court is spotless, and Yukimura's garden is flourishing — and currently inhabited by one rather large levitating man-eating plant, scaring off humans and animals alike who might try to trespass into the domain it's guarding.

And then there's Yagyuu himself, surrounded by a veritable swarm of seven Eevees, one Espeon, one Umbreon, and one Flareon, all of whom are happy and rambunctious and look like they may very well pick him up and carry him off if he should happen to let his guard down.

(Somewhere in the background, a Slowpoke duct-taped to a skateboard with model rocket engines attached to it goes hurtling by, making a noise that sounds suspiciously like eeeeeeeeeeeed.)

Needless to say, Yagyuu is a little perplexed.]

...Ah. How did I—

[But then he looks down again, and double-takes, because those seven Eevees have all just evolved in the blink of an eye, and he is now sporting two Flareons, a Vaporeon, a Jolteon, a Leafeon, a Glaceon, two Espeons, an Umbreon, and one very dopey Eevee who seems to have failed at evolving in general.

He's almost afraid to look away from them again, for fear that more of them might crop up.]

...It's going to be one of those days again, isn't it.


[OOC: COME HIT HIM UP! Anytime, anywhere, he's in Goldenrod by the Haus but he can easily move wherever you'd like him! COME TO ME, FOURTH-WALLERS, I WANT YOU IN THIS POST. ♥]

[It doesn't quite feel like years to him, but regardless, Yukimura understands the sentiment, and returns it in his own way.]

Sanada. You're checking up on things as well?

[He smiles, pleased. Maybe they can make people run laps together.]

[action] <333!

[keepgoingon]

Of course. It's good to check that none here isn't slacking off.

[Even if he's confused to be back, but nevermind that.]

[action]

[loseyoursenses]

Oh, yes. That's very important. The house looks to be in good shape, though, and have you seen Yagyuu's new collection of Eevees? He's been busy.

[Yukimura's confused himself, because things are... different than he remembers.]

[action]

[keepgoingon]

I have. He seems to have collected quite a lot of them.

[Too many if you asked him. Even six Pokémon was enough for Sanada.]

At least that should keep him training regularly.

[action]

[loseyoursenses]

Yes, but it'll take his attention off tennis and on to his Pokemon. In this place, I suppose that's a good thing, but really - what if he ends up having to play a match?

[Because tennis matches totally happen all the time in Johto, of course.]

I'd hate to see him neglecting his real training.

[action]

[keepgoingon]

That could prove to be a problem, yes. If Renji was here he could easily make him a schedule to balance both.

[He'd do it, but it would involve carrying more rocks and we're not sure if Yagyuu would like that.]

[action]

[loseyoursenses]

We'll have to remind him of what's really important. Maybe we should have him play a practice match or two.

[Against them, of course! Hope you've kept in practice, Yagyuu. Hope your movements aren't too terrible.]

[action]

[keepgoingon]

That's a very good idea. [Hope you're prepared, Yagyuu.] Now if only Marui would appear. Then we could remind him as well.

[action]

[loseyoursenses]

Yes. I've heard Marui is doing well at defeating the gym leaders, which is very good to hear. But if he's abandoned his training to do so, I'll be rather disappointed.

[Laps. Forever.]

[action]

[keepgoingon]

As will I. [Of course.] We will have to find out what he's been up to besides Pokémon.
