009 // Video (Action for Goldenrod)

[pipers_son]

[From the looks of things, Joker is somehow stuck in a tree. Also from the look of things, he fell in it.]

Well, that was a bit of a failure, far as things go.

So, any folks wanna suggest somethin' of the flyin' variety? Me and Torch gave it a try but, well, she's a bit too fond a goin' fast and doesn't care for the gloomy weather.


[Action]
[Anyone actually in Goldenrod and passing through the local park... Well, you can probably spot Joker still stuck in the tree. Every now and then he gives a bit of a wiggle, shifts to the one arm, looks down... and then apparently decides to stay stuck. The Charizard flapping about and giving dismissive snorts doesn't seem impressed.]

[Could you look any less uncool, trainer?]

[ connecting torch with 'falling' and . . . ah. ]

—She can't get you down?

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

She could, but she doesn't want ta. I think she's a bit embarrassed of me, but that's alright.

Angel's on her way.

VIDEO

[athirst]

You just fell off . . . [ what's there to be embarrassed about-!!! ]

Um— Is it too high up for you to climb down? [ he's climbed a few trees himself these days . . . ]

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Well, she's real particular about her image.

Anyway, not too high, just a bit tricky considerin' a few things. No worries, 'tho- Angel is comin' ta get me. Psychic types can be awfully clever!

So how've you been? That egg hatch yet?

VIDEO

[athirst]

Kind of like Chinatsu . . . [ oh! right! he gives a grin at this— he was going to get to that! ]

Fudge! Come here, boy— [ all joker would hear are some excited sounding pants that just come closer and closer and closer— until a blur of orange nearly tackles sasuke as it thrusts itself into his lap. sasuke falls over, since he's sitting, with an "oof— H-hey!" with chuckles and quiet laughter in between, holding his hand to his face and letting the growlithe puppy lick the screen of his device instead ( hi joker meet slobber ).

when all settles, he turns the camera to the canine— handsome, smaller than most growlithes, but sharp and happy. ]

I'm good— He hatched a few days ago!

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

[Nothing more heartwarming than a boy with his dog, honestly, and Joker couldn't hide his smile if he tried.]

Looks like the two of ya are gettin' along swell then!

VIDEO

[athirst]

I was going to tell you— [ but he got to asking faster than he did to telling! he's petting fudge, and he bows his head as he seems to hide the rosy in his cheeks. ]

We've already been training together, too. Everyone says you need a good team to challenge the gym.

And, um— [ there . . . was something he wanted to ask, though. ] Where did you get him?

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Well, they're right about that! Was in Violet for a while before I figured my team were ready. Angel and Lightnin' made quite the team.

[Talk about an act- a clown and a lion against a flock of birds, more or less.]

Got 'im from the breeding center! They're this little place here in Goldenrod. They do a lotta breedin' and always have some Pokemon up for sale and the like. Some folks even leave 'em their Pokemon, or when they return home.

Good place ta find an egg if ya don't want ta travel all around the country, or adopt someone! I've gotta couple I've taken under my wing myself, includin' Torch here.

VIDEO

[athirst]

Chinatsu evolved— And I caught Senkou to help! [ sasuke shifts the camera a bit— far off and close to a tree is a resting quilava, eyes trying to remain shut as a shinx slowly and gradually wiggles its way closer to her. boys, she thinks, huffing and closer to turning each time— senkou, on the other hand, wants to spend time with her . . . . . . ( she's so pretty . . . . . . )

but ah yes this is just what he needed to know. turning the camera back to himself, his smile widens. ]

I can just . . . Call them? [ because— ] I wanted to get one for Big Brother.

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Good choice~! Shinxes won't do ya wrong. That's what my Lightnin' is and she's a dependable kinda gal.

And yep, ya can! They make it real easy for folks.

VIDEO

[athirst]

Is she evolved? [ they'd probably get cool when the evolve . . . like thunder cats. ]

'kay— Do you know how dragon types are? [ if joker had one to begin with— anything would be good to know before he snagged one! ]

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Yep~! She actually evolved right in the middle a her battle with Falkner, too, heh. Want ta meet her? She ain't with me now, but it wouldn't take much ta bring her out.

[Once... he... gets out of the tree...]

Mmm, nah, I don't have many myself besides Guls although I've heard from some folks that a couple a them are good for flyin' so I expect I'll be lookin' inta it soon enough. I've heard they're a real powerful type, 'tho! The final gym leader is supposed ta be real strong since that's what she prefers.

VIDEO

[athirst]

—Can I-? [ ah-! right . . . ] When— When you can . . .

[ he loves seeing new pokemon— it was like one of those colorful encyclopedias, there were hundreds, and just when you start thinking you've seen it all . . . ! ]

I only saw pictures, but— I was thinking about a Trapinch. Flygon looks really cool.

[ just like big brother, he says, albeit very softly, with briefly blushing cheeks to accompany. there's just so much admiration ugggg ]

How many gyms did you beat?

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Then gimme five minutes or so, Angel outta be here soon. [Angel, please be here soon.] But that sounds like a good choice! I've heard they're handy.

[But then, Joker thinks most Pokemon are handy, so that doesn't say much.]

Hmmm... By this point, got five down!

VIDEO

[athirst]

'Kay.

[ ah— ]

Five what down?

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Five gyms! I've been ta the one in Violet, Azalea, Goldenrod, Ecruteak, aaand Cianwood!

VIDEO ( wow that was totally my bad i didn't pay attention . . . )

[athirst]

Wow— Are you going to challenge the others?

VIDEO (ha ha no big)

[pipers_son]

Plannin' ta! I just got a bit sidetracked and didn't dedicate myself ta it.

[And so now he has a full level 100 Team whoops)

VIDEO

[athirst]

You probably had a lot of time to train, though! [ "whoops" wow don't you mean mega awesome ]

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Heh, that I did! I know a few a my team didn't mind focusin' on other things, too.

VIDEO

[athirst]

Like what?

[ pleasantly curious-! ]

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Well~. Besides acts for the circus, my Zoroark Invidia's been learnin' how to do things with computers and all that fancy stuff!

Which is good, because I don't have a bloody clue how, ha ha.

VIDEO

[athirst]

It can— write? Like on the Pokegear?

VIDEO

[pipers_son]

Yep~.

[athirst]

[ uHbLUH ]
