[ - well, Red might have said 'yes' before, but uh he knows that voice and she can't actually be here, can she? is he still dreaming?

Red sits up unsteadily on his hands, still trying to blink away sleep. ]

L...Leaf?

[typeless]

[Arms crossed, and wearing proper snowy weather clothes]

Yes.

[leaguechallenge]

[ well, now we just feel silly, dressed in just that dumb jacket vest thing that doesn't even have real sleeves.

Red blinks. and again. then- ]

...Leaf!

[ omg omg jumping up to our feet and tackle-hugging youuuu -! ]

Leaf, hi!! I can't believe you're actually here - wow! What are you doing here!?

[typeless]

[she manages not to budge as Red hugs her. She only looks slightly annoyed.]

... Let go of me.

Why are you on the mountain?

[leaguechallenge]

[ oops. Leaf is one of those people who gets annoyed by the touchy-feely stuff. we were so excited we forgot aaaah ]

S-Sorry!! Sorry, sorry! [ LETTING GO, BACKING AWAY ] ...I was, um, I was sleeping...

[ NOT WHAT SHE MEANT, MORON ]

[typeless]

[She likes her space and prefers to keep it her own.]

I noticed. Why are you up here?

[leaguechallenge]

O-Oh. Um...I've a-actually been trying to get away from some people since I won the Championship a few years ago...

[typeless]

... There are better places to hide. Like other regions.

[leaguechallenge]

Other regions? That's...

[ but- ]

I don't...I can't be that far from home, though. And my mom.

[typeless]

It's freezing cold up here. And you're not dressed for the weather. At all.

[leaguechallenge]

Huh? The weather? It's fine, Leaf, really, I-

[ sneeze ]

[typeless]

You're going to catch a cold, if you haven't already, and you're miles away from civilization.

[leaguechallenge]

[ eheheh he's had a cold for like three years whoops. he sniffles, looking cheerful. ]

That's okay! I mean, I don't feel so great all the time, but it never gets too bad! And I've got my pokémon, and besides, I'm pretty good at taking care of myself.

[ LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES
and the worst part is he doesn't even realize it ]

[typeless]

[Leaf's got a great bullshit-o-meter]

No. You're not. You can't even cook.

[leaguechallenge]

Th-That's...! [ completely true ] I - I usually just eat what the bigger pokémon leave behind, s-so...

[typeless]

You're not taking care of yourself.

[leaguechallenge]

I-I'm okay, though...really. You don't have to worry about me. Sorry.

[typeless]

I wouldn't have to worry about you if you didn't live on a mountain.

[leaguechallenge]

Not for that much longer! Probably, I mean. It's been, like, three years by now, so maybe...maybe they'll have all forgotten by now and I can go back soon.

[typeless]

Who's harassing you?

[leaguechallenge]

...... ......

......Reporters, mostly. And a lot of people who - th-they just came out of nowhere wanting to be my friend, after I won the Championship. It was weird and they didn't mean it, I don't think, and I just...I was sick of them coming to the house and bothering my mom. So I - left.

[typeless]

... You can't stay up here forever.

[leaguechallenge]

I-I wasn't going to! Really! Just long enough for everyone to forget...

[typeless]

So you decided staying up here for years was your one and only option.

[leaguechallenge]

[ uncomfortable fidgeting ]

Well...that's...
