video || action for Goldenrod

[shiro2hero]

-- Red! Hey!

[Haunter is carrying the 'gear, apparently. Following diligently after its trainer like some shaky-cam show cameraman. Haunter's claws are visible around the edges of the camera frame. While they both chase a Torracat through the tall grass just outside Goldenrod.]

[A Torracat who is engaging in epic battle with a Nidoran♀.]

Seriously!? Get --

[They don't get there in time. The battle ends, with Torracat victorious. And... a flash of light. Which clears to reveal...]

[Incineroar.]

... back... here...

[Silence. Except for, you know, Incineroar bellowing in glee. Shiro just. Slowly looks over at the camera. With the camera turning to look at him in return.]

Okay then. That happened.

[Awwww yeah, there is some quality content on the network today! The screen is filled with another Incineroar face, grinning wide and roaring back happily. Hello, new giant wrestler cat! Welcome to the giant wrestler cat club!]

[shiro2hero]

Hey!

[The newly evolved muscle cat is bounding over to wrestle the camera away from Haunter.]

[Hello fellow Incineroar! Please ignore the sound of a mortally offended Haunter and Shiro.]

video;

[notvaljean]

[Oh, he's ignoring it, all right. Just like he's ignoring the sounds of his own trainer in the background, yelling and trying to get his communicator back. Puny human is too small for muscle cat, though!]

[Polo's eyes widen when he gets a better look at the other Incineroar. Is that... is that a lady muscle cat? The only muscle cats he knows are himself and his brother! He didn't know his species came in the lady variety!]

[He is not very smart.]

[He is, however, very good at flexing his muscles and showing off for the camera. Let him just shove it back into his trainer's hands and then strike a pose. Behold his majesty, beautiful lady muscle cat!]

Oh gods...

[A sigh, but Jean doesn't move the camera to show himself yet. Let the cat have his fun.]

Um... that's a pretty nice Incineroar you've got there, whoever you are.

video;

[shiro2hero]

[Lady muscle cat... just kind of... responds like a human lady when faced with a suddenly flexing male of the species. Staring at the other Incineroar, tilting her head. What are you even doing sir?]

[.... because her muscles are better!! Behold her flexing!]

[She puts enough into it that she drops the camera, thus allowing Haunter to scoop it up for everyone's benefit.]

I'm going take a while guess here, and say they're all pretty much like this.

Video;

[schachmeister]

[Is this where the giant wrestling cat club meets? Because there is another giant incineroar, holding up the gear with one paw --his claws just against the screen-- flashing the other cat a thumbs up.

There also might just be the noise of a small trainer trying to get his gear back but lets ignore that. Welcome to the club, buddy.]

Video;

[shiro2hero]

[The background noise on his end is Shiro and Haunter's mixed protests. Incineroar doesn't seem to care, though. She's going to flex and beam into the camera.]

Put it down!

Video;

[schachmeister]

[Magellan does shove the gear into Armin's hands, but it's just so he has two paws free to properly stretch and strike a pose. Stretching is just the best. He does it a lot with his brother. The only downside here is that they aren't doing this in person, so there can't be any (wo)manfully claps on the shoulder and fistbumps.

One day, though. One day.

Also please ignore the cries of 'Magellan, no'. His trainer is good, but very uncool.]

Video

[shiro2hero]

[Shiro's Incineroar tilts her head, looking over the feed with what seems like a fairly critical eye for a newly evolved pokemon. Up until Haunter takes that moment to snatch the camera away from her.]

[And toss it back to the ever-beleaguered Shiro.]

...

So, I guess I'm not the only one dealing with this.

video;

[fuelthefire]

[The feed is filled with Krieg's masked face, and the audio - momentarily, anyway - with the sound of his laughter.]

Pfmnahahahaha! CONGRATS TO THE BEEFY MUSCLE CAT!!

video;

[shiro2hero]

[Said beefy muscle cat flexes proudly in the background, while Shiro, having recaptured the 'gear, just drags a hand down his face.]

I'll tell her you said that.

video;

[fuelthefire]

[He's pretty sure the beefy muscle cat heard him, if her flexing is anything to judge by. He snickers at the sight, though spares most of his attention for Shiro.]

Why so down, Charlie Brown?

video;

[shiro2hero]

[Oh she did. Now she's posing. Dramatically.]

I'm just a little surprised. That's all. Wasn't expecting her to suddenly... do that.

voice

[heartdive]

[ yeah Sora's over on his end, kind of laughing about all of this. sure is one beefy cat though. ]

Congratulations!

voice

[shiro2hero]

[By now, he's gotten the camera back. And dragging a hand down his face.]

Yeah. Thanks. I think.

voice

[heartdive]

I mean, it didn't want to stay a Torracat forever, right?

voice

[shiro2hero]

She does seem happier.

[action]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Guess who was out trying to take some nice poke-photography when THE INCINEROARING occurs. Once the dust seems to have cleared, a scruffy stringbean of a man just kind of...emerges from a nearby bush holding a camera. A Raichu with a crooked tail stands at his heels.]}

That was impressive.

[action]

[shiro2hero]

Thanks... I think.

[So says the ragged-looking dorito-shaped guy watching his Incineroar pose for the camera. While Haunter darts around her, protesting in vain.]

[He just sighs.]

Sorry -- did we disturb anything?

[action]

[no_ufo_ending]

Well...

_{[He glances up at a few terrified Sentrets chattering in the trees.]}

I'd be lying if I said no, but it's fine. May I?

_{[He lifts his own camera, shooting the Haunter an apologetic glance.]}

Video

[dreamsofahero]

Well, it certainly seems pleased, at least?

Video

[shiro2hero]

Yeah.

Yeah she really is. I guess it's a species thing.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Some are known to be quite competitive or determined to increase their strength, yes.

action

[styxiedust]

[It sure did! Why do weird things always happen when Botan takes the little ones out to play? It just...she heard Shiro making a fuss, turned back, and WOOSH! there's...Tiger Mask?

Some of her Phantump are, understandably, scared of this large 4x damage dealing creature and flit back behind her with wails. The ones that don't retreat look...still fairly frightened but more so out of surprise.]

Shiro, have I ever told you that you seem to attract mishap like the Dickens? [Also if that's what Yoru ultimately turns into, she's getting an Everstone. Botan cannot fit another large fire breather in her home.] Congratulations on your...professional wrestler, I think.

action

[shiro2hero]

[Of course, where there's Shiro, and his pokemon, there's Kuro the Aggron. Whose head pops up at the wailing sounds. He lumbers up to the posing Incineroar and... without further ado... pushes her down.]

[To flop on top of her. Pinning her.]

[Shiro just. Can't even comment. Except to drag a hand over his face.]

No, but I think I knew, by this point. [Deep breaths.] Yeah. Thanks. Sorry about scaring your little guys.

[styxiedust]

They'll be fine, they're just surprised is all.

[Look there's even some little giggles at Kuro's dispatching of Tiger Mask-san.]

I haven't seen that one yet, who's your friend? I assume its name probably isn't "Tiger Mask" despite what I'm thinking.

[...]

You're probably too young to know about that one.
