Yeah, they did! We work really well together. And a lot of mine are elemental Pokemon, so I've been teaching them to use some of their moves the way I used bending back home.
[It's as close as she can come, outside of those weird weekends that happened a couple of times a year.]
We make all kinds of cool stuff out of ice and snow, in winter. I was trying to get a competition off the ground, so people can show off their Pokemon but not in battles. A lot of people don't do the battle thing or the Gym thing. But everybody else working on it went home.
[Which is too bad. A lot of people had been excited for it. That's even why she picked Mahogany as her 'home' city. Or at least the woods by it.]
That sounds like something that would be a lot of fun. And honestly I'm surprised something like that doesn't already go on. A lot of people would have fun with that sort of thing.
[Including Cissnei herself. Battling was a lot of fun and a good test of skill but some of her Pokemon weren't fighters but they were impressive all on their own.]
If you want to try and put something like that together still, I'd be happy to help.
[As she says it, she stands, carefully cradling Tseng in her arm while she tucks her notebook under her other arm.]
It could be a lot of fun. Something to get everyone together that doesn't end with Team Rocket crashing the party.
Yeah, a lot of people were into it! just...not doing all the work that needs doing to make it happen. But yeah, I'd like to try and get something done. I think a lot of people would really like it. I've got a folder, back at my hut, I'll grab it while I'm there.
[She hasn't looked it over in a while, but it's got what both she and Twilight had come up with.]
[Cissnei nods, looking quite pleased with the idea of having something to actually help with. Not that vacationing with Korra wasn't fantastic--because it was--but once they were done they were going to need something to do.]
I think I can handle taking you out to dinner, Korra.
[It's said in a way that isn't quite her agreeing to buy her a "I'm sorry" dinner but more...an offer of a date, maybe?
There's a sly grin on Cissnei's lips when she says it, the Turk playing it cool as she whistles for her Honchkrow, Rue.]
[Okay, there's no way Korra is misinterpreting that. She knows she's not exactly great at telling the difference between friendship and something more, but...]
[Uuugh. What is she going to do? Because there's clearly something here. It's nothing she's encouraged or looked for, but it happens. Like it had happened with Elsa and Asami when she wasn't around.]
[But at least this little break will give her time to think about it.]
Yeah, that sounds good. It looks like we'll be on schedule to hit the islands and avoid the cold weather. Don't get me wrong, I love the snow, but...I think I can use a change. For a little while.
[And it's not like they can't pop back for snowy fun, if they want to. Which Korra will probably want to. But she's wanted to visit the islands for so long now, and even if maybe it's not the smartest idea to go there alone with Cissnei...]
[Right now, the idea of tropical islands actually sounds more appealing than another winter in Johto.]
I'm kind of pleased at the idea of avoiding snow. I've never been a huge fan, especially when the option to be on a tropical island is there for the taking.
[Snow was alright but it reminded her of things. And while she did want to eventually see the snowball launcher that Korra had told her about, maybe it would be best to avoid snow for as long as possible.]
I think Rocket will enjoy being back home for a bit as well.
[Come now, Korra. Spending quality time alone with her on the islands will be fantastic~]
Snow always makes me think of home. I spent sixteen years living in the tundra. I was so excited when I could finally see the world... but it was always nice to go home every now and then. I'll probably make at least one trip back to Johto, in winter.
[But otherwise, she's in agreement. Tropical islands and vacationing. No chances of being snowed in, like happened kind of enough for it to pop into her head.]
I definitely want to catch one some island Pokemon. I've seen some of the variations, they're cool! Not to mention all the water types that are gonna be there.
Yeah. It's been a while since I saw it. But it's okay, I know everything's fine back home.
[She just misses it sometimes. Her parents, her family, her friends... but she's spent more than enough time being homesick. The whole point of this vacation was to help her not do that.]
It makes me wish I still had my bending here. All the time, not just a couple of weekends every year. I want to take Sentra out into the ocean and just....
[Running out of words in a sudden flare of frustration over not having her abilities, she just vaguely makes elaborate bending gestures instead.]

[Considering how close Korra seemed to be with her Pokemon.]
Things have been extraordinarily strange. I have a feeling it's going to just get worse before it gets better.
[She's been enjoying the warm weather but it's been getting a little too warm lately.]

Hey, don't jinx it!

[Because as much as Shuriken was a badass fighter, she was a prissy thing that loved to be adored by all.
Cissnei can't help but laugh.]
Right, right, sorry!

[If they're still around these days.]

If you did jinx it, you owe me dinner!

Yeah, we probably should.

That's not going to stop her from being playful like she always was with Zack.]
After all of this is said and done, we can meet back up in Vermillion? Head to the islands from there?

Understandable. Thinking of home is never a bad thing.
[Not that she could really relate to that. It's alright, though. She still understood the sentiment because of things she'd been told back home.]
The variations are quite amazing. I've got two so far, I would love to get more though. And you'll be in water heaven, Korra, I promise.

..Maybe one day it'll be possible.
[She reaches out to rest a hand on the bird's neck.]
Until then, I guess we just all have to make the best of what we have here.
