[The Tin Tower, or Bell Tower if you prefer. No matter what name you call it, it's easily one of Ecruteak City's most cherished land marks, guarded by monks. Its delicate architecture and simple decor attract tourists, as does the legend of Ho-Oh and Lugia. Surely, nothing could ever harm the tower, right?

Well, sorry folks, but if you're passing through Ecruteak or watching this feed, you'll find that the once lovely tower has a new look. Spray painted all over the tower are crude images including a guy picking his nose, boobs, butt cheeks, some monks doodled with devil horns, "GHOST used CURSE!" and many other oddities, like two spray painted rainbows all the way across the tower!

And in front of it all, there's a big ol' Haunter floating around and playing a loud and obnoxious vuvuzela. And he's playing this piece of work.

The Rotom in charge of the camera spirals around, giving viewers a look at all the graffiti. Isn't it pretty? Huh, huh? There's a vrrrrrrrrm coming from Surge, a very happy sound at that.

And somewhere off screen, Riku's trying to call down his beasty before the Monks get any more upset.

His response?]

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! ♫

[ooc: Mod approved! Have fun looking at the graffiti until the monks clean it up.]

If you can't keep your pokemon on a leash, Riku, that isn't the monks' problem. Phantom is your responsibility.

Hey, it's not like Pokéballs have locks. Even if I put him back into his ball, he'd bust out.

[Excuses? You bet!]

[ Oh my god Riku are you trying to piss him off. ]

Don't give me that. If he'll listen in battle he can listen outside of it, too. You can get the rest of your team under control, there's nothing different about Phantom.

Except Pokémon aren't just robots, either. And it's a lot harder to discipline a gh--

[Nope, sorry! Intercepting this conversation for one purpose, and one purpose only...

Making horrifying faces at Leon. Bleheheheh!]

[ See icon for how many fucks Leon gives. Sorry, no curr. ]

Why do you keep Phantom around, Riku?

He's powerful.

[He says this as he yanks the 'Gear from his ghost.]

You have no attachment to him?

Look, I train Pokémon to win battles.

[There's probably at least some attachment, but Riku's too prideful to admit it.]

--and to graffitti all over public property, apparently.

Most ghost types pull pranks. The Gym Leader has ghost types, and they've probably done this before.

This isn't a prank, Riku, this is vandalism. Those monks'll be cleaning up for a while.

I'm sure this isn't the first time the tower's been trashed. I've got more important stuff to worry about.

The least you could do is apologize.

Already taken care of. I wouldn't just walk out of there and say nothing.

Good.

[ That's all Leon has to say on the matter, though it's probably clear from his expression that his expectations had about hit rock bottom. ]
