09 - video/action for Route 30 (?);

[islandshore]

[Oh dear. What have we here? The feed starts with a very nice close up of a Haunter, who sticks out his tongue and floats back. Behind him are Riku's Nidoking, Pidgeot, and Feraligatr. Given the soft whirring going on in the background, it's likely that his Rotom's out too, just out of sight.

Phantom stops just a few feet in front of them, quietly making some quick gestures and then pointing at the other Pokémon.]

Grrrrgh...

Rgh?

[Jaws and Slacker look at one another, then to Phantom, while Highwind huffs and ruffles his feathers. Phantom clenches one hand into a fist and slams it into the other.

A few seconds later, Slacker and Jaws reluctantly puff out their chests, put their shoulders back, and roar, and Phantom looms behind them with his mouth open wide. The only one who doesn't pose for the video is Highwind, who screeches and flies off camera.

The Feraligatr and Nidoking continue to strike ridiculous poses in the mean time, flexing and grunting. It gets to the point where Phantom cracks up, pushing the two of them forward, onto their chests.

Aaaand right about then Riku shows up, snatching his Gear from his Rotom and rolling his eyes.]

I look away for five minutes, and this happens?

[Silly Pokémon. He groans, running his free hand through his hair.]

Anyway, we're heading back to Violet now. Should be back in a few days. When I get there, I'm thinking of putting my Ivysaur up for trade again. She's level 32 and rotting in the PC. I might be willing to trade her for a Charmander or a Sneasel.

[ooc: Purple = Slacker. Blue = Jaws. And as a side note, it's hilarious how Nidokings are only 4'6''.]

[ 4'6" is still pretty big! Also there is a Skarmory looking at this feed, and a Scyther looming over her shoulder. Green and Skarmory have indeed put their differences aside in the name of...pokemon manliness contests? THIS IS ENTERTAINING. ]

[Riku sees them watching, and he opens his mouth to say something, but Surge snatches the Gear away, pointing it at Slacker and Jaws, who stumble up to their feet, baring their teeth and trying to look fierce.

In the background, Riku sounds a little agitated.]

Save the comedy act for later. We need to keep moving.

1/2 [video] on my phone so this could be slow

[adamant]

[ In response, Skarmory and Green puff themselves up; the Scyther lifts his blades and bares his fangs, while Skarmory spikes her feathers and lets out a shriek that sound like a rusty chainsaw meeting the wrong end of a turkey. That little stunt gets Leon's attention, and not in a good way. ]

2/2 [video] i hate my phone ;;

[adamant]

[ Leon snatches the gear away, revealing a sheepish-looking Tentacool who had probably been manipulating the camera. Skarmory and Green also look appropriately apologetic. Leon's face comes into view, stern and disapproving. ]

Sorry about that...

[video] /kicks the phone

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

No need to apologize. They're the ones who started it, anyway.

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Man, I didn't think they'd go and do that.

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Oh, hey Ven. Riku shrugs, turning to face him.]

I've got a feeling Phantom gave them the idea.

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

He gave them the idea?

[Casting Phantom a thoughtful glance then]

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Phantom sees Ven over there and looks away, whistling and twiddling his thumbs. Nope, it's totally not his fault!]

[video]

[yattagarasu.livejournal.com]

So who won?

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Probably Phantom. Jaws and Slacker wound up face down on the ground.

[video]

[yattagarasu.livejournal.com]

You can't top a ghost!

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Well, Slacker and Jaws are kind of dense, anyway.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[oh, oh, Puddles wants in on this! he gallops toward Riku, striking a majestic steed sort of pose.]

GIRAFARIG!

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[..Are you serious, Puddles? Riku shakes his head, but before long Jaws and Slacker are back on their feet, scurrying over to Puddles and flexing their macho muscles.]



Great. What next, Dapper?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[yes, Puddles is serious. he has a lady 'farig to get all buff and manly for! better start working on the poses now. also Dapper has no muscles to flex, sadly.]

'FAAAAARIIIIIGGGG!

[sorry about your eardrums, Riku.]

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Oh, it's on. Jaws pushes Slacker aside and steps forward, looooming over Puddles. And then... and then...]

[ video ]

[revivifies.livejournal.com]

They seem competitive.

[ video ]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Or just bored. It's been a while since they've battled anything close to their level.

[ video ]

[revivifies.livejournal.com]

Restless, then... How concerning.

[ video ]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't blame them. They're all at high levels, so the wild Pokémon are easy picking.

[landbreaker.livejournal.com]

[Pfft. Chuckling!]

They sure are lively.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

I think they'll be happy when we get to Azalea town... whenever that'll be.

video; akjsd laaaate

[landbreaker.livejournal.com]

Soon, hopefully. Last time I was there, I didn't get to see that much.

video; all is well!

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Well, Sora's finally strong enough to face Falkner, so here's hoping we don't have to wait around. The only problem is that Kairi just got here, and I don't know if she's going to want to take on any gym leaders.
