1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. VIOLATED. You've been violated in some way. Can include sexual overtones or not. Can someone help you through it?
19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

[It's not everyday you find this redhaired jerk in a pokecenter, leaning against a wall, scowling darkly at his pokegear. He's mostly just waiting for his pokemon to be healed.

WHAT DO ALESSA?]

[Well, this certainly wasn't where she expected to run into her rival at all.

It's oh-so-tempting to just turn on her heel and pretend she never saw him (especially with that scowl, yikes)... but curiosity wins out over better judgement, so hopefully the redhead will excuse her as she sidles up nearby.]

Well, this is bit of a surprise. Any particular reason your glare looks like it could melt a hole in the floor? [That's probably the darkest expression she's ever seen on his face...]

[It's because his father's never been brought up. Just the rockets and the idiot admins - yes, he still hold a grudge over you getting rid of them. That was *his* job.]

My father. [It's almost spat, but there is a flicker of something in the rage - fear, but it's covered up faster than you can blink.] What do you care anyway, wimp.

[Hey, now, she was just doing what she had to do.]

What? Am I not allowed to show concern over my rival? [She frowns, putting her hands on her hips. This interrogation? Clearly not over yet.] Anyway, what about the guy?

[>(]

Hmph. It's better if you don't get involved this time, Alessa. [He's going to be the most difficult 14 yearold ever!]

You know how I am about staying out of trouble. [HUFF.] Worried I can't handle myself or something?

[He's just just going to *laugh* so hard now. It's a bitter laugh.] Don't be stupid. Why would I care about a wimp like you, huh?

You're avoiding my previous question, y'know.

So?

I'm still waiting for an answer.

Hmph. Then you'll be waiting a while. [And stuffing the pokegear in his pocket.] Anyway, it's not something a girl from the right side of the tracks needs to worry about. Unless you're like that nosy brat from three years ago.

[...That's the most he's implied about himself, ever - and Nik scowls and shoves his hands in his pockets. CHANGE OF SUBJECT GO YES] Tch - Should have just given them revival herbs. Faster than 'centres.

... but those are expensive and they smell horrible. [She makes a face. ~~Also, priorities.~~] And PokeCenters do it for free, regardless of how long it takes.

[But don't you think for a moment that Alessa's forgotten the previous topic, Nik--she's starting to try and put the pieces together in her head.]

[~~that suck.~~] Yes, but they're quick and my pokemon like them, so there!

[Actually, they don't but they get no say in how their trainer treats them. Yet for some reason they still like him ~~and see the rusted bronze heart under all the layers.~~

GOOD LUCK! Given how little he's said about himself.....]

[~~Excuse you.~~] Think of this as an exercise in patience. Or something.

[Does she get a gold star for trying]

Hmph. Whatever. I just need them strong enough to get me into Kanto.

[Yes, yes she does.]

[It's only politeness that keeps her from rolling her eyes here.] Is that all you ever think about?

Of course. I'm going to be the strongest trainer there ever was.

..After I see why father wants me in back in Kanto. [SCOWL SCOWL SCOWL]

And this is after how many times I've kicked your butt in a battle?

[~~What was that about being polite...~~ She frowns for a moment, thoughtful.] Be careful, all right, Nik?

Dumb luck for a beginner. 'S why you should stay in Johto.

[A snort.] Yea yea. Just have to make to were Archer'll pick me up. ~~Like I need a babysitter.~~

And just how has it been "dumb luck"? The instances were fairly well spread-apart, and a few were even after I'd gained decent experience as a trainer. [She quirks an eyebrow.]

~~I dunno about that, dude.~~ Well... if you say so. Still, though! You're the only one I'd be okay with defeating me if it ever happened, so you'd better not get yourself hurt or anything!

How long have you been training? A year? Because that is a beginner and you have dumb luck.

Ha - Yea yea. Whatever. [flkjds.ljk how does he deal with that - easy! Wave it off because he's not your friend don't care for himfdksjhakjh] Though father would kill anyone who hurt his only heir.

And yet through "dumb luck", I've managed to best you every time. [Sticking out her tongue because clearly she's the epitome of maturity.] Maybe I just have natural talent and you refuse to admit it.

Hey, don't brush me off like that! You're weird, mean, and annoying but I guess you're okay. A-anyway! Don't think it's because I actually care, I just like the challenge you give me when we battle.

Nope. You have dumb beginner like like that brat did three years ago when he -. [Ok no. The look gets something of a laugh-snort and amused look. Real mature, Alessa.]

Hmph. Then let's battle once my pokemon are healed. They need a work out before I head into Kanto anyway. Can't have the things slacking off. I guess if you lose you can come to Viridian with me. Who knows, you might actually get stronger there.

[The amused look gets a grin in return.]

All right, you're on! But on the off-chance I win...?

You get money. duh.

And I guess you can tag along to Kanto, too.

[A nod.]

I need the training anyway. [She hums thoughtfully.] Want to grab a bite to eat while we wait? It doesn't seem like they'll be done anytime soon...

Hmhp. Then once we hit Viridian you'll want to go into the forest. It might make you strong enough to challenge Brock in Pewter.

... Duh. Centre's take forever. [Which annoys him >\] Hmph. Might as well. Father sent money over, so I guess I can treat you to something high class.

[...do not ask how much his father sent over. Just. Don't. Giovanni might be a yukuza/mafia/underworld boss but he does take care of his family financially at the very least.]

[Her eyebrows shoot up when he says that. That wasn't what she had in mind at all...] O-oh, um... I'd like that... Thank you.

Heh. Don't think I'm doing it because I'm nice. You're my rival and that means I can treat you as I please.

[Ok so he might have the teenest tiny crush. ANYWAY!] Besides, I just want to go to the Grand Imperium. Going alone to a place like that is boring, even if it for take-out.

[... - clearly he's loaded if he can afford to eat There - but -.] And I want a take=out tin.

[If she had something to drink, this would be the part where Alessa chokes on it.]

G-grand Imperium?! [HOLY. SHIT. She has never actually eaten there in her life but she knows what the prices are like.] You can afford that?! ... And you're treating me?! [Nothing short of stunned right here.]

[Nik just smirks and heads off.] You coming, Alessa?

Y-yeah, I'm coming! [She breaks into a run after him, slowing down after a few steps and finally walking once she's next to him.]

... Again, thank you.
