victory_road | [Video] 2nd Book

[The feed clicks on to what appears to be a single bedroom in a Pokemon Centre. There's a bit of a ruckus going on in the background - a Shinx, Litleo, Meowth, Glameow and Purrloin are all fighting over food, bedding, pretty much everything. A Solosis seems to be trying to keep the peace but failing miserably. Hermione is in the foreground, looking a little frazzled.]

I think Goldenrod may have a...well...feline problem, for want of a better word. Two I found on the outskirts of Goldenrod rummaging through my backpack because they were starving, and the other three were fighting each other over food from a garbage can near the centre. I couldn't just leave them like that, the poor things. They were all just so hungry and looked terrible.

*CRASH*

[Anyone watching the feed is probably seeing that the 'poor things' just knocked the trash can over, and the television is teetering ominously on its stand as Solosis tries to right it. Hermione whips her head around quickly.]

Meowth I told you not to fight with Glameow and Purrloin! And don't get me started on you two![She points a pair of fingers at the Shinx and Litleo, who just ignore her.]

[She's not a crazy cat lady...she's really not...they were just so darn cute though! How could she NOT help them?!?]

[Haunter meanwhile applauds. This is exactly the kind of reaction it was going for. It loves making people laugh!!]

Yeah, when we met, it let Kuro charge right through it, and then pretended to die.

[Shiro's life is ridiculous.]

I don't think I've ever seen a Misdreavus. What are they like?

That's certainly one way to get attention. I guess he just loves to have fun?

Oh they're pretty similar to a Haunter. Dark ethereal body but with tendrils that look like hair. Hang on, let me show you.

[Hermione types a few buttons on her pokegear, and sends Shiro a previously taken photo of her Misdreavus pulling a face at the camera. Because that's what she did every single time.]

Oh, it loves the attention, all right. But it's... it's been good. Couldn't get anything done without it.

[Because, without Haunter, he wouldn't have been able to sleep. Ever.]

[But he pauses, to look at the image. And laughs.]

Yeah, she looks like she'd get along with it.
