[mingle post] Extreme summer weather
A. HEAT WAVE
It's a hot day in Ultern. The kind of day where you just can't muster the energy for anything. The kind of day where you feel like you could fry an egg on a car hood. On the radio, the usual DJ's voice reminds you to drink plenty of water, wear a hat and use sun screen, and to make sure your Pokemon are protected from the heat as well.
How are you spending a day like this? Eating ice cream or shaved ice? Resting in the shade? Taking advantage of the Pokemon Center's cooling system? Are you the type who trains outside no matter the weather? Or are you one of those poor souls who have to work outside in the blazing sun?
B. NATURE POWER
On another day, there's a sudden rainstorm. Water droplets attack the roofs in a loud barrage, wind howls, and you can hear the distant roars of thunder. It was hot just earlier, what happened? On this day, even the local radio station broadcasts nothing but static.
What are you doing on this stormy day? Caught by surprise while travelling? Staying inside and shutting all windows tightly? Listening to the rain with a cup of hot chocolate, or going out to enjoy the blasts of rain and wind on your skin? Taking shelter in the Pokemon Center, or knocking on the door of the closest house you can find to escape the rain? Exploring caves? Helping wild Pokemon deal with the weather?
Or maybe something completely different?

[Trip didn't really have any close friends, at this age, so he really liked Gold and he really liked Alder. He cherished his memories and promises dearly!]
no subject
I don't make friends easily. You're one of my first friends ever, so making other friends won't make me forget about you.
[Stated with absolute certainty, because it's true. (And vague enough that even if his memories end up getting erased by drifting back home, the statement is still true!)]

Thank you, Gold... [Very softly as he watched him contentedly, head tilted to a side.]
You're one of my first ever friends too.
[There were people Trip exchanged a few words with or played with once or twice at school, he'd be inclined to think of them as friends, but no one he spent time with nearly every day or who went with him anywhere else by choice, not by mere circumstance throwing them together... but Trip was still young enough not to tell the difference.
He did, however, recognize that being with Gold was different, so he thought of him as a best friend! Only he felt too shy to say it.
Maybe he could make him a gift to thank him for all his kindness...
He finished his popsicle, feeling more energetic now, eyes brightening and kicking his legs a bit.]
