usedgalacticpunt | Bout 003 (Video/Action): Silliness in Violet. (backdated to Mon. 1/17)

[We open on a truly bizarre sight. Is it a new Pokemon never before seen? Some horrifying Frankensteinian creation?

...No, it's just Chie's Hitmonlee and Snorunt being silly. The Hitmonlee is shaking with silent laughter, while the Snorunt is trying to pretend she's above this foolishness (despite her own faint giggling).

An amused voice comes from behind the camera.] You do realize you guys look ridiculous, right? Here, Bruce, hold this for me for a minute. [The Pokégear trades hands to reveal Chie, pulling on and zipping up her jacket as she speaks.] Hi, everyone! Thought I'd check in, since it's been a while. We're all doing fine! Working hard and getting stronger, you know the drill. Although I guess these two were getting bored waiting for my shift to end. [Her brow furrows.] Hey, I just realized, that's my scarf. [She reaches past the camera to grab said scarf and sling it around her neck.]

Anyway, I wanted to say, we're heading to Goldenrod in a few days! I've got a friend there who's gonna get me past that weird tree thing. So I was just thinking, if anybody here in Violet wants to meet up and hang out, now's our chance! I've kinda been too busy training to meet people here, so I really should change that! Now, we're probably gonna leave...

[Before Chie can finish that thought, the local Nurse Joy approaches.] Excuse me, Miss Satonaka?

What's up? Oh, shoot, did I forget to clock out again?

Oh, no. I'm afraid we found this poor dear when we were doing some computer maintenance. [The nurse hands Chie a Pokéball.] He was sent to you from Goldenrod some time ago, but ended up in the wrong PC box.

Goldenrod? [Chie looks blank for a moment, but then her face lights with comprehension.] Oh! This must be the Pokémon Rise-chan was saving for me! Great, thanks! [Nurse Joy smiles and returns to her work, and Chie turns back to the gear.] I can hardly wait to see what he looks like... Okay, come on out!

[Chie tosses the ball to the ground, and poof! Out comes... an adorable Dunsparce, which immediately leaps into Chie's arms. Oh my gosh my trainer is back!!! She... doesn't take it well.] Aaugh! W-What are you, some kind of weird bug? [The Dunsparce jumps at her exclamation. What, what's going on, what's wrong? Clearly I have to hide in my trainer's jacket now!] Hey, cut it out!

[And then Chie's foot hits a little puddle left by someone coming in out of the cold, and down she goes. The Pokégear goes flying as Bruce rushes forward to try to catch her, and the feed goes black.]

Yeah, I can definitely agree with that... Though I don't think I'll ever understand all those noises he makes.

Not that I know of. You could always try it around some grumpy people, like Yosuke when he's around Teddie.

Aw, come on, you can't fight without some kind of battle cry! [She laughs and snaps off a kick in the air] Hwa-taa!

*fffft he is startling a bit as she lets that kick off.* --whoa! ... I... I guess I can see your point... Though I've never had a problem with kicking people in silence from time to time.

She's got my vote! Go for it, Suzuka Gongen!

Hah! Now that'd be fun to see. Are they here in Violet City too, or are they farther along?

[You're officially on her good side now, Rise. She nods again, smiling a little.]

Oh, hey, I've been meaning to ask. When do you want to meet up at the tree thing? Today's gonna be my last day working here, so I'm ready whenever you are!

Well, yeah, but it's more fun this way. Bruce -- my Bruce, I mean -- likes to be the strong silent type, though.

They should still be Goldenrod with everyone, except for Kanji and Naoto in Blackthorn.

I've got a couple more days, but it won't take me long once I head out, since I've got Crystal with me. Do you know if Senpai and Nanako-chan are going with you?

Mm... Well, I'm not about to deny it's fun to yell out a special attack name when you let loose a big attack! That's one of the basics when it comes to fighting.

Chie-- [derp, he's trying not to snicker]

Great! So, how would you like to catch up to them? I think it's gonna be a while before my team's ready to take on the first gym. So like I said in the video, Rise-chan's gonna let me through the shortcut up north!

Edited 2011-01-21 22:56 (UTC)

Definitely! So do you fight a lot yourself? I remember you said you were good at kicking too...

[Once everything is calmed down, you get a video response. And a lineface. Chie is sitting next to Bruce, with Yosuke snuggling up in her arms.]

Go on. Laugh. We all know you want to.

I just fight when it's necessary.

Ah, gotcha. To protect yourself and your friends?

Edited 2011-01-21 23:04 (UTC)

Nanako and I can go along with you when Rise opens up the path. I probably need to take on the gym soon as well.

Actually, it's mostly for Ojou-sama... But I'll always be willing to throw myself in the line of fire for a friend.

Oh, Nanako-chan! That's right, I almost forgot she was here too. It'll be great to see her again. Sounds like a plan! I'll let Rise-chan know, and we can call her up again when we're ready.

Edited 2011-01-21 23:21 (UTC)

I just asked Souji-kun, actually! He wants to tackle the gym first, so once he's got that taken care of, we'll all head your way!

Ojou-sama? Is that someone from home? [This sounds like a story.]

Yeah, sounds good to me.

Nanako is pretty excited to see everyone again, so expect a big hug from her.

--ah, yes. Ojou-sama, milady, master... Whatever term you prefer. I'm her personal butler, so she always get priority.

Haha, I'd have to be crazy to turn down a Nanako-chan hug. Is she doing alright? How's Johto life treating her?
