Kurow

[So the resident moonkid apparently has porcelain white skin now. He doesn't seem all that self-conscious about it, though. Even if he's wrapped himself up in his scarf more than he usually would this time of year. ...And are those sparkles?]

So like, this widespread illness thing came at the worst time ever, y'know? I just got into Olivine a few days ago, and went to challenge the gym, but they were all, sorry, there's an illness going around, we're not accepting challenges for a while. And like, that's cool and all, they're worried about the Pokémon, I totally get it, but it's gettin' harder and harder to just sit around and wait. [Even with constant chills for the last several days.]

...Or at least, it had been. Think I found something to pass the time, though. Check this out.

[He pulls out his flute and twirls it a bit before playing a few notes. Immediately, a chilly wind blows and it starts lightly snowing within about a ten-foot radius. (Kurow used Powder Snow!) Maybe that's where the sparkling was coming from? Tiny, ambient ice crystals.]

Cool, huh~ Instant snow! Not even Dude could pull that one off!

[even if the history scrolls had said that Amaterasu could, but details]

[This afternoon, Johto/Kanto, you are being treated to yet another video of Route 29’s vicinity, where there is this blond kid who’s wearing an outfit that’s definitely not suited for winter weather, aside from arguably the scarf. But aside from how he’s got it wrapped a little closer around himself than you usually wear that kind of scarf, he isn’t showing much minding of the cold.

This could be partially due to the fact that he is kind of sitting on a Growlithe, as though posed to ride it. Which, given his rather small height compared to your average adult, is evidently possible. Said Growlithe doesn’t seem to mind it, though.]

‘Sup? The name’s Kurow, and this girl and me, looks like we’re gonna be taking on that Gym Challenge. Should be a good time, am I right?

[“Growl!” The Growlithe barks affirmatively.]

Thought so! So like, since this looks like it’s connected to some kinda network, anyone got any tips before we set out? Like, anywhere we can find more food? Dunno how long it’ll be to the next town, but the stuff in the bag is totally nowhere near enough for both of us for more than a couple meals, and that’s if you stretch it.
