Video; Suicune no swiping

[The video switches onto very shaky, jerky footage of the inside of a tent, and then a tentflap being pushed aside with very indistinct muttering in the background.

Outside, the early light of dawn is grey in a persistent drizzle. The gear (still not completely steady) looks out over a reasonably neat camp. Smokey the Ursaring would be pleased. Their old XO would only assign twenty laps. All in all, a very normal scene.

Apart from the legendary pokemon standing in the middle of camp like it does this sort of thing every day. That is a little not normal.

Have you ever seen Suicune? Have you ever seen Suicune steal a tea kettle? You have now.

The large blue legendary pokemon lowers its muzzle to nose at the kettle, before clamping its sharp teeth around it and lifting it up.]


Ah! No! No, no.

[It drops the kettle again, staring straight into the gear. For a moment everything seems to go still, even the sound of the rain drizzling down coming to a stop. It's a moment that seems to stretch, perilously thin and then suddenly it snaps, like a bubble bursting, and Suicune bends down to clamp its teeth around the tea kettle again and then it is off with a great leap, the rain suddenly coming down again with a roar.]

Wow...even MY luck isn't that bad. And I'm the one who's video of being run over by a miltank like three times is still earning hits online after like...a month or two.

Yeah but you didn't get to catch it, it didn't even slow down long enough for you to really study it all that much.

I mean you got the video so that's better then nothing.

I mean I guess?

But you get a chance like that? To really understand something so powerful and graceful? I would have at least given it a shot.

Walls are great to protect people, but creativity doesn't thrive in captivity.

But that's the weird part about all this isn't it? I never would have considered enslaving animals and forcing them to fight in my own world. But in this world it's everything. And the pokemon actually seem to love it.

Who knows, maybe the big blue dog is just lonely and wants to be caught.
