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.]

They used some means to forcibly hold it captive. Because of the immense power of such so-called legendary pokemon, they seem to be a frequent target of such attempts. Which needless to say, generally have poor success, and usually cause considerable trouble for everyone.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to be the only ones. Nearly anyone with "Team" in the name of their organization seems to have proven to be trouble.

Unfortunately, the local law enforcement seems to lack the means to sufficiently punish criminals. From what I understand, most crimes earn little more than a brief time in jail.

They do have what I believe is referred to as "community service", but it's rather mild by what standards most people might consider manual labor.
