Hey, Daaaad, just calling so you know I got to Azalea safe and sound! Me and Sakura-chan are at the Pokémon Center now. We're gonna get our teams all healed up, and I've gotta call a chick about an egg.
We're not gonna stick around here too long, but I think I'm gonna catch a Slowpoke before we leave. Wish me luck!
[ Oh, look! Is that Nero, walking down a street in Viridian City and minding his own business? Not for long!
Er, well, he'll still be Nero, and he'll still be minding his own business, but he won't be walking down the street for long. His progress is suddenly impeded by the low swoop and earth-shaking landing of a Dragonite, who beams at him. In the Dragonite's arms is a bundle wrapped in white terrycloth, suspiciously like an inn towel. He presents it to Nero with great ceremony. ]
[ He's back from his latest victory, over Blue, and feeling too bad about it. He's about to grab some celebratory food, in fact, when he's intercepted by what is unmistakably Miyuki's Dragonite, Haku-bro. He covers his head on instant, only to quickly recognize he isn't in any danger. Warily, he steps back a bit, peering up at Haku looming over him.]
[ Haku-bro makes a quiet keening noise in his throat, but he doesn't seem displeased. He likes to be able to help out wherever he can, and he doesn't mind the long flights.
As he holds out the bundle in careful claws, the towel falls away enough to reveal an egg, a little on the large side and adorned with a scribble of marker.
The handwriting is terribly messy, but Nero might be able to make it out. ]
[ There's a chuckle (decidedly fond, since she isn't here to hear him) as he takes the egg and the towel it came in, cradling it in the crook of one arm. With his free hand, he swings his bag over and goes through its contents. Having found a pen and a worn out receipt for take-out, he sets the egg delicately down. With a muttered apology, he uses Haku's miscular bulk to write.]
Not making any promises.
[His handwriting is such a spartan, old-fashioned cursive that Miyuki might need an interpreter; he's not going easy on her. He hands the message to Haku, and bends to pick up the egg.]
Nero? [ This isn't the first call judging by how low her tone is, but this time something must be different if she's leaving a message. ] I hope this isn't troubling, but I think I've worried myself into a cold sweat. You're still on your way, right?
[ She pauses only to let out a sigh. ]
If you're going to by Saffron instead, can I join you? [ Because really, that's the only reason she can think of as to why he's yet to meet up with her. ] I know I just said I wasn't feeling well, but I think it'll be fine once we meet up.
Hello Nero, it's me again. Kyrie. [ Her voice seems more strained than it was before, almost as though pain was being inflicted upon her just to speak. ] I hate to nag, but I thought I might have heard from you now. If you're upset with me, I'm sorry, I just think with everything that's going on right now, that we should really meet up.
Nero, that's it! I'm really growing irritated that you haven't returned my calls yet. It's been days and if you want to behave as a petulant child, then you're free to do that whenever I'm not looking.
Call me when you've decided to not act like an overgrown brat.

Nero, it's me again. It's been me for a while. I know that you have a tendency to drown out the world around you with your own music when you're frustrated, but since this place has it's own music, I thought I could try to sing for you.
[ Her voice sounds drained of the usual bustling joy to it. A bird without joy can hardly sing, but she'll make an attempt. It's cheap to do a song he's heard before, but in her current condition, she wants to cry out in pain, so it'll do. ]
Listen to my voice calling you Calling you out of darkness Hear the devil's cry of sin Always turn your back on him
With the wind you go and still I dream of your spirit leading you back home--- [ And then it's cut off by a whimper of pain. ]
Nero. I have fallen ill, so I'm afraid I can't call you today. I know this will sound pitiful of me, but I would like it very much if you could come here. I miss the feel of your arms and I've just about forgotten the beats of your heart. Please return to me.
Edited (CURSE YOU TIMESTAMPS) 2012-07-17 07:41 (UTC)
Nero, I forgot to mention something. Please don't be alarmed if I look different from when you last saw me. I don't really know what's going on myself, but it'll pass. All things come to pass and so long as I keep my chin up, I won't be bested by it.
Hoping this message reaches you and that you're well. Call a girl and ease her heart a little, won't you?
Nero. [ When she speaks his name, her voice is raspy and her breath just a bit heavier than normal. ] I just wanted to say, just in case, that I love you.
So I love you, Nero. I love you with all of my being. Please don't ever think otherwise.
You better have a damn good excuse for giving your girl the cold shoulder kiddo, and if you don't return my call then so help me, I'm using DJ to sniff you out and I will hunt you down and kick your ass 'til you're black and blue.

It's a Turtwig egg. They evolve into these giant friggin' tortoises with trees on their back. Grass/Ground type, super high defense.

Then why the hell are you catching one? To keep as a pet? At least the other one doesn't sound so bad.

Thinking of getting one? Gotta warn you: dragon-types tend to be late bloomers. Charizards can fly, and they're easier to get.

[ Hardy har har. ]
I'm just really concerned for you. Did you hear about those Pokemon Centers? Please be mindful of battling until you're at a city with one. Please.
And maybe could you send me a message to let me know you're alright?

Listen to my voice calling you
Calling you out of darkness
Hear the devil's cry of sin
Always turn your back on him
With the wind you go and still
I dream of your spirit leading you back home--- [ And then it's cut off by a whimper of pain. ]
Suppose I wasn't ready for this just yet...
