[The video clicks on to show a snowy path that's actually rather picturesque. Anyone familiar with Johto would know that it's Route 43 heading towards Lake Rage. Someone's clearly taking a winter trip to the lake to get away from the city for a bit and enjoy nature and the peaceful atmosphere!

Yeah. Right.

A moment later a small Cleffa toddles into view followed by a rather irritated looking Flareon who's tail is way fluffier than normal and his ears are pressed flat to his head. The larger Pokemon darts ahead and attempts to block the Cleffa which seems to infuriate the little thing as it stops toddling and stomps it's feet. The Flareon snorts and dips it's head like it's about to gently bump the Cleffa and start to guide it back only to find itself promptly slapped by the little fairy.

Mr. Pickles jerks back blinking in surprise as he sits down rather suddenly, nose twitching as he tries to figure out what just happened.

The Cleffa turns around and notices the camera, puffing up it's cheeks then promptly starts screaming.

Turning the 'gear around, Vanitas comes into view now looking less than pleased.]

I'm pretty sure this stupid thing is broken. I'm never buying another egg from anyone.

[ Zorya runs up to Mr. Pickles, chittering and scolding the Flareon for daring try to tell the little Cleffa what to do. Nort could do what she wanted! And if Pickles tried that crap again? A little shiv flicks out, the Pikachu's cheeks flickering with electricity. She will cut all your fur off in the night and wear it as a coat!

Yuri was doing his best not to laugh. He really was. He cleared his throat and wiped his hand over his mouth before tucking it back into his pocket. His hair was in a messy half braid bun today and possibly hidden in there was a Joltik but it was unclear. ]

Um, I think she's pretty fitting to you, Van. And Zorya seems to like her. Let's be honest, who was the last Pokemon Zorya actually liked? Oh right, no one.

[Fluffing up rather indignantly, Mr. Pickles scoffs at Zorya and rights himself again, turning his chin up at the Pikachu and her shiv before prancing off back towards his beau Remnant. Fine! You deal with that crazy little baby Pokemon!

Vanitas side-eyed Yuri though he wasn't mad at the blonde; he was just frustrated with the situation in general. This wasn't even the Pokemon he'd asked for!]

Gee, thanks. At least Zorya approves. That means a whole lot. [Dry tone is dry.

Nort looks between them with a glare then screeches, stomping her foot. WHY AREN'T YOU PAYING ATTENTION.]

[ Yuri wasn't sorry. It was amusing to him that Vanitas ended up with such a little shit of a Pokemon. It was only fair, Yuri had been dealing with Zorya for weeks. Now Vanitas could experience bratty baby Pokemon to the fullest. ]

It should! Maybe you can have a babysitter when you need a break. You know, it's still a fai--

[ He puts a finger in one ear as Nort begins screeching. Unfortunately Zorya decided that Nort did need the most attention and turns , sparks flying as she lets out a piercing CHUUU ]

Alternatively... You could just.. I ...YOU COULD JUST PUT HER BACK IN HER BALL?

[Nort stops screeching when Zorya sparks at her, the Cleffa staring at the offending Pikachu for a long moment before she seems to bristle. In the next moment she darts forward and slaps the Pikachu in the chest with all her might--which isn't much considering how small she is--screeching like the hell spawn she is.

HOW DARE YOU.]

Every time I do she just breaks out again! YOU THINK I HAVEN'T TRIED?!

[Zorya gasps at the Cleffa. Sparks fly for a moment before she decides this was still just the personality she liked.]

I'm helping you! Get on my head so you can hit them higher!

[She bends down so its easier. Yuri was busy shouting at Vanitas to notice.]

TRY DUCT TAPE!? OR STICK THE BALL IN A BOX OR SOMETHING!!

[Nort glares at Zorya for a split second before she seems to decide the Pikachu can stay for now. She gives a shriek of approval and clambers up onto the other Pokemon, wobbling a bit before finding her balancing and promptly starting up her shrieking again.

Her trainer winces, reaching up now to cover his ears.]

PRETTY SURE THAT'S POKEMON ABUSE OR SOME CRAP.

[This was awesome. Zorya joins in again, little hands balled into fists. They were GOING to be noticed dammit!!]

I'M SURE PUNTING IT IS TOO BUT AT LEAST ITS NOT AS VIOLENT. HOLY MOTHER OF-- ZORYA, SHUT UP!

[Vanitas just turns and starts walking away, his head aching from all the screeching.]

That's it! I'm done! They can go back to the wild! I don't want them!

[Beside Zorya, Nort stopped her shrieking and wobbled on her perch, staring after her trainer before letting out some violent Pokespeak that was most likely a lot of curse words.

HOW DARE YOU WALK AWAY.]

ZORYA ISN'T FROM THE WILD!!

[ Oh, wait they stopped. But even Yuri's ears were burning because he had a feeling what that Cleffa was saying was not kind. ]

[ Zorya wasn't going to let this happen. Sparks start flying from her cheeks, readying to give Vanitas a mighty zap but Yuri quickly grabs her up. He feels his hair standing on end from the electricity building. ]

NO. No, BAD! If you do that you can't go see Mr. Newt!

[ YOU. TRAITOROUS. BLOND. PIECE OF-- ]

[Nort hit the ground when Yuri scooped Zorya up and oh that just wasn't nice. That wasn't nice at all.

The raging pink ball of hate immediately start screeching again, pounding her little fists into the ground as her volume increased exponentially.

Vanitas groaned and wheeled around to give Yuri the most exasperated look he could muster.]

REALLY?!

FINE, NEXT TIME SHE CAN ELECTROCUTE YOU TO DEATH!!

[Oh how dare he protect you from physical harm, Vanitas! Yuri releases Zorya who runs back over to Nort. She pats her paws gently on the Cleffa before turning to zap the ground around Yuri as a warning.]

HEY!!
