Shadowmaru | Brave Police: J-Decker

[sassymaru]

1) POWER SAX
[Maybe you're walking down the street, late one night. Or minding your own business on some route around Olivine. Something moves on the edge of your vision. Or kicks up dust down the road.]

[... if you're in the city, you will eventually bear witness to a tall, dark form perching on the rooftop of a building. Green eyes glowing.]

[... if you're out on a Route, you will, hilariously, catch a glimpse of a purple police car, zooming past. If you're fortunate enough, you'll see a Growlithe hanging its head out the window, and a Froakie at the steering wheel.]

[Either way, you'll receive a friendly hail.]

My apologies! I had no intention of frightening you!



2) NOT A DOG
[There is a giant, purple, robot canine trotting cheerfully down the street. Complete with glowing yellow eyes, and a stubby tail. Said tail is totally wagging. He's got no idea what's happened, or why he's been restored to his former body, but he's enjoying it.]

[... if you find him in a local park, try not to laugh as the purple dog the size of a soccer mom van plays frisbee with a Growlithe. Both of them wagging their tails and chasing the toy with enthusiasm.]


3) wildcard!
[ spot him in human or robot form, probably around Olivine, making a dogged attempt to figure out human life - anything else works too ]

[She's been ending up in a lot of places. Wait....was that a car?]

Watch where you're driving!......wait what?

Since when does this place have cars?....and talking cars at that.

[sassymaru]

Ah! Alex!

[The car, which had skidded to a stop a few yards off, suddenly... flips. And transforms. (The two pokemon somehow leap out mid-transformation, don't ask, it's a 90's anime).]

[And a giant purple robot strikes a pose.]

Hello once more!

[isleavepossible]

......

[Give her a moment, there's a car that turned into a robot.]

You can turn into a car?

[Ren would be so jealous, she's in a pokemon game and there are transformers.]

Wow, ...hi again. You totally took me by surprise there.

[sassymaru]

Indeed! Among many other things.

[His pose drops into a bow. Because... yeah he's absolutely fishing for an opening to show off.]

That was not my intention. But! Not to worry. I'd never run you down.

[isleavepossible]

Uh, thanks.

Out of curiosity......why can you transform into a car?

[sassymaru]

... Our commissioner felt it best we be able to blend in with the local traffic.

[Sort of.]

[Mostly, Saejima Juzou operated entirely under the "Rule Of Cool" trope.]

[isleavepossible]

I guess that makes sense.

[Sort of.]

Probably makes travelling easier.

<sub>[DID SOMEONE SAY ROBOT DOG???]

[After the whole disaster at the resort, Heather's made a point of taking Snitter out with her this weekend. You never know when the fabric of space and time might rip open again and unleash a bunch of jellyfish.]

[In any case, Shadowmaru will find his trajectory after the frisbee interrupted by a VERY FAST SCIENCE DOGGO just kind of barging in and trying to catch it instead. It doesn't work. His helmet blocks it. But by god he tried.]</sub>

[sassymaru]

[Both Shadowmaru and his Growlithe pull up short at the sudden SCIENCE DOGGO. And its... enthusiastic but failed attempt at catching the frisbee. They tilt their heads, look at each other.]

[And then the Growlithe trots forward to pick up the frisbee and offer it up to Snitter.]

There you are. A game attempt.

[foolishwren]

<sub>[As the Growlithe approaches, Snitter's stiff fin-tail waggles.]

[He stretches his neck out to take the frisbee.]

[Bonk.]




[Yeah it's not happening. :(]</sub>

[sassymaru]

[Growlithe's ears droop. Oh no... she'd been hoping that would help!]

Perhaps... frisbee is not your game. Why don't we try something simpler?

Such as tag, for instance?

[Well that just makes Growlithe's day. She barks, wagging her tail and looking eagerly up at Snitter.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Tag? TAG. Yes, Snitter knows how to play tag!]

[He starts to wiggle in excitement!]</sub>

[sassymaru]

[Growlithe starts running in circles. Good good! A good game for everyone!]

[Shadowmaru inclines his head to both of them.]

I will be it. When you're ready... Go!

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Snitter bounces back and forth on his hind and front legs in pure giddiness-- ... and then zooms off backwards.]

[There he go.]</sub>

[goldeneyeball]

<sub>[JW is out on the routes as most trainers are. He's tired--even if you aren't the one doign the walking, poke'back riding can be hard on the bones. He hears a rumbling in the distance and looks up--as do the heads of his mount.]

[In the distance is a car! The first car he's seen since arriving! FUCK THIS! JW quickly hops off of Gilligan an Skipper's back and hurries off the dirt path before leaning back and sticking out a thumb in the classic hitch-hiker's gesture.]</sub>

[sassymaru]

[... Shadowmaru has no idea who this is. JW didn't exactly put his face to their text conversation. But even so. He can't resist just being a little bit of an ass. Too much time with Gunmax, maybe.]

[So when the individual sticks out their thumb?]

[The purple car with the Froakie in the driver's seat puts its police sirens on.]

[WEE WOO WEE WOO]

[goldeneyeball]

<sub>[In his defense, JW has terrible eyesight and doesn't actually notice the tiny frog in the driver's seat.]

[He does notice the flashing lights and the blaring siren. A sound he's familiar with.]</sub>

Ah, shit! C'mon, drumstick!

_{[JW grabs his Doduo's reins and dashes backwards off the road and into the tree line.]}

[sassymaru]

[Oh this is no fun. The car isn't meant to travel into the bushes. So he stops, long enough to let the Froakie and Growlithe out. And then...?]

[And then it's possibly JW's nightmare come true. Because the police car just straight up changes shape.]

[Into a giant purple dog.]

[That starts trotting toward the trees.]

[goldeneyeball]

<sub>[JW and his twiggy bird friend watch the road from the safety of the trees. As he quietly seethes over 'of course the cops would be the only ones with access to actual cars in this garbage world' to himself, his thoughts stop with a record scratch.]

[The cops just became something worse.]

[You know that thing that happens in Ghibli movies when the protagonist is Alarmed? Yeah, JW is going pretty Ghibli since he has no actual hackles to raise and reaches out to cling to his Doduo.]</sub>

What the fuck. What the fuck what the fuck.

_{[He climbs onto the bird's back still mouthing his mantra to himself. Is anybody else seeing this? No? Is it because he's alone and the gods are laughing at him?]}

[sassymaru]

[Meanwhile, the Growlithe is cheerfully barking a "HELLO HELLO HELLO FRIEND" to JW's twig bird. Apparently oblivious to how much her trainer's new form is freaking out the Lunchables Man.]

[Shadowmaru on the other hand, is well aware. And probably way too amused at the notion. Halfway into the trees, he stops, wagging his stubby little tail.]

I thought you weren't afraid of the police!

[overworking]

[When you are generally a chill person and have traveled to many different worlds, you get pretty used to seeing weird things. Like the Pokemon themselves. Sure, they were a bit odd looking, but they were a lot friendlier than the weird looking mutated animals that could survive Tokyo's acid rains. So the Cyndaquil that had taken to crawling all over him wasn't a worry.]

[Walking past a park and spotting what looked like a giant robotic dog? More a curiosity than anything else. But Fuuma's also not stupid enough to go running up to something that could potentially step on him and crush him. Instead he just watches for a while, amused by seeing such a thing chase a tiny frisbee. When there's a pause in the action and they end up facing his direction, he waves.]

Hello! Are you a non-native to this world like myself?

[sassymaru]

[The Growlithe perks up immediately. Wagging her tail and starting to trot over to say hello. Shadowmaru sits where he stands, tilting his head curiously at the stranger.]

[... It's uncanny sometimes, how much like a dog he actually acts like. Probably more uncanny when the dog in question is the size of a minivan.]

What gave it away?

[His eyes flash as he speaks, but there's no irritation in the question. Just open amusement.]

[overworking]

[Aw smaller doggy. Fuuma squats as he's approached, offering a hand for her to sniff, and then if she seems amicable, Growlithe will get some ear scratches. His Cyndaquil is a bit less sure about something that looks like it could eat him, so he crawls on top of Fuuma's head and just sniffs at Growlithe from afar.]

I haven't been here that long, but from what I have seen, the technology isn't advanced enough for something like you. And so far none of these guys - [He gestures to the Growlithe.] - have been so large.

What can I call you?

[sassymaru]

[Growlithe barks, tilting her head into pets. She's fairly well-behaved for a shaggy tiger-dog. Thumping her tail against the ground so hard it makes a thudthudthud.]

Ahh, so you've noticed my impeccable design. I suppose it's difficult to ignore.

[If dogs could preen... Shadowmaru sure tries.]
