'accidental' video ;; Diglett Tunnel

[shiro2hero]

-- it's not that bad, we just need a flashlight.

[Comes Shiro's voice. The 'gear is pointed at the ground for the moment. Waving around awkwardly as the person holding it tries to figure out which end is up. In the process of righting it, the camera pans past a signpost.]

[DIGLETT TUNNEL AHEAD]

[And sure enough, once the camera is settled, viewers get a nice shot of Shiro's back. Peering down a dark tunnel. The camera-person scuttles forward, and judging from it's height and squeaks? This is Blue the Gallade, filming once again.]

[Once Blue draws even with Shiro, the man glances aside at his pokemon, scowling slightly.]

What are you filming this for? [There's some more squeaks. While Shiro's expression turns into a raised eyebrow.] What? No -- Heather's said a lot of things. That's what friends do, Blue. They talk.

[SQUEAK SQUEAKER SQUEAK]

We're checking it out, that's all. If we don't like it, we'll take the long way to the next town.

[And so, determinedly, Shiro fishes in his backpack, returning with a flashlight. Murmuring something to himself about paranoid Gallades... he shines the light into the cave. At the same time, Blue turns the camera to record the sight...]

[The sight of hundreds of eyes shining from ground level. Just like Heather Mason had warned them about, a long while back.]

[Shiro shouts something -- probably not PG rated -- and so does Blue. Shutting off the recording.]

At least they're not actively trying to kill you? That makes things easier, if not easy. And there's the hope they might be polite in return.

[shiro2hero]

Well. Let's hope they're just curious abut us.

And not territorial.

[captainash]

...If they were territorial, wouldn't it be fine if you just... flew over their heads? If you have enough space and an appropriate Pokémon on hand, of course. Maybe something with Levitate?

[shiro2hero]

Flying in a tunnel isn't generally advisable.

[If he were flying a ship or plane? Yes, absolutely, he'd do it. But risking a pokemon flying in the dark? That's a Lot.]

Nope, no levitate here.

[captainash]

I can think of a few Pokémon and humans who'd be up to the challenge. Doesn't mean they'd get out in one piece, of course, but they'd try.

[Is he part of that list, even without a mobile suit? Definitely.]

But I guess crashing on top of their head might leave the Digletts a bit... testy.

[shiro2hero]

I don't think I'm interested in risking my pokemon.

[Himself? Sure, bring it on. But his pokemon depend on him -- he can't ask them to take that kind of risk.]
