53 - video/action for Cerulean;

[islandshore]

[The video clicks on, giving a view of Cerulean's water park in the distance, complete with towering water slides, wave pools, and other aquatic attractions. For a few seconds, Riku gazes at the park before giving a light shrug and facing the camera.]

You know, it's too bad summer's almost over. Cerulean's water park's gotta be one of the best attractions I've seen in Johto or Kanto. If you haven't seen them yet, you should really check out their water shows. Think there's only a week or two left before they shut down for the season. Come to think of it, the bug catching contest's over too, isn't it? Seems like all the fun stuff happens over just a few months.

[It's been a solid enough distraction after everything that's happened. Scooping up Kairi, his stubborn fixation on honing his own strength (and getting a few scrapes and bruises in the process). At least staying on the move satiates his wanderlust.

Ah well. After shaking his head and chuckling softly, Riku props one hand on his hip and continues.]

Anyway, you'd be surprised what happens when you've got hours of free time and nothing else to do. I talked to John about this a while back, but... Dodrios. You'd think that without wings they'd be grounded like ostriches, but they're not. So, I decided to teach one Fly and... well, just see for yourself.

[The tilts the camera up, giving a fine view of, well... this, just with a single Dodrio. There's nothing remarkable about it beyond its disregard to physics, but at least it'll make a good present for Sora. And now that he's shown off that little oddity, he'll turn the camera back on himself.]

But that's nothing new, right? Gastlies can learn punches somehow and Cubones hatch with their skulls. Now that I think about, do Farfetch'd start out with those leeks? I don't know. I'm sure there are stranger Pokémon attack combos out there, so if anyone's got any, I'd be happy to hear. Not like I've got any plans right now.

['til then, the feed clicks off.]

[John had pretty much forgotten about this conversation, given how sleep deprived he'd been at the time. But he did it. He actually did it.]

[They mystery.]

[It has been solved.]

Huh. Well that... [still makes no sense.] works, I guess. Here's an oddity that's come up recently for me a few times though, especially recently: Yamask. So they were once human, right? A long long time ago, according to the 'dex and every book I have found on the subject. Yet they can still have eggs. I'm wondering if it's some kind of reincarnation or something, in those cases.

And for attack combos... did you know that Spiritomb can learn Water Pulse via TM? That actually helped me beat Blaine recently. Arcanine can learn teleport, Audino can learn surf... there are a lot of weird ones out there, basically, yeah. You are right.

[ Her face when! ] That is, is, remarkable!

[WOW RIKU LOOK AT YOU all tiny and stuff. Just like out of Ansem's bizarre memories. Who would have thought that the boy who faced him down while he rode the body of his younger self started off so little and non-threatening?]

The versatility of these creatures is fascinating, but this sort of investigation is even more so. There seems to be a great deal of unknown or perhaps unrealized potential within them.

[Since you came to scoop her up, Kairi is right at the water park with Riku. And currently she is standing not far from him, eyes on the Dodrio in the air. And of course she has a hand covering her mouth, as she tries very hard not to snort with laughter at the sight.]

You're right, you do have too much time on your hands.

[Hi, Riku, have someone staring right at your old feed and blinking. This was even more of a break in science than the strange cliffs he'd run into while going along Route 29.]

...has anyone invented a word that sums this sight aptly yet?
