10th Zapfish [Video, Olivine City]

[agent3]

[The feed opens up on the warm, sunny beaches of Olivine City. While it's not properly hot enough for most people and the summer is whittling away to the dregs, that doesn't mean everybody's staying off the sand. The view pans over to a group of Pokemon - a Luxray curled up on the slope of a dune in the sun, an Octillery near the surf pushing over mounds of wet sand to a shiny Tsareena as she meticulously sculpts it over a complacent Noivern, who almost seems like she's laughing about the whole thing. From behind the person holding the 'gear, a Malamar floats over to them, shells trailing behind it in an aura of psychic energy to help press into the molded sand. There's a chuckle.]

Super silly, huh?

Tep-pi?

[The 'gear shifts down to a Tepig sitting in a girl's - Thida's, by the voice - lap. One of his ears is bent strangely, and he looks up into the feed with confusion.]

Y'gonna play?

[The Tepig bows its head bashfully and hides its snout underneath its front feet. Thida reaches out to pat him.]

'S okey. 'M not gonna go. Too wet. [It's at this point she turns the 'gear around to face her, and yep, it's Thida.] 'S a vacation, though. Um...never had one before? Whatcha s'posed t'do on vacations? 'M at...Olivine? Whatcha do for 'em there? Need some ideas, or...we'll be at th'beach all day. [Thida wrinkles her nose as she signs off. It's very clear that sand and surf are not part of what she wants a period of rest to be like.]

Whoa...'s a big bird, huh...

[Her eyes go kind of wide as she tries to imagine it - she is a dang short teen, after all, so...]

...Maybe y'can ride it?

[Video]

[schachmeister]

Uh, I think... I mean, technically it would be possible [Lugia is certainly big enough!] but it is probably a very bad idea. I don't think a legendary pokemon will just let itself be ridden.

[agent3]

Not even t'have fun, though?

[Video]

[schachmeister]

Maybe, I guess. But it seems unlikely to enjoy those sort of things.

[But then again, they also apparently steal tea kettles so what does Armin even know.]

Re: [Video]

[agent3]

Maybe y'gotta ask nice, 'n give it treats.

[Video]

[schachmeister]

Maybe. It was pretty hard to deal with though, so I'm not sure if it would go for something like that.

...Find a smaller legend?

[Thida the size is not the issue here]

[Video]

[schachmeister]

... I don't think size is the issue here.

[Armin has... wow, he has met or seen five legendaries by now, and heard of two others, and none of those had been very ride-able.]

[Video]

[agent3]

No? Y'sure they're not...nicer if smaller?

[Video]

[schachmeister]

[He is absolutely think of Blitz, the undersized deathball electrode.]

I think sometimes creatures that are smaller can be a lot more troublesome.

[Cause Napoleon complex.]

Hm...

[She's quiet for a moment, thinking about it, before she nods.]

Yeah, 's right.
