[video]
[The video feed starts like any other with Keith marching out of the Violet City gym with a shiny Zephyr badge in his hand. He holds it up to the pokegear camera with a grin.]
Heh, these gym challenges aren't so tough. Almost feel bad about the beating Faulkner's team took. Guess I can actually fly around legitimately now.
[As opposed to you know. Bribing his Skarmory with food every single time and never quite ending up where he wanted to be.... but that;s besides the point.
It's especially besides the point when a wormhole opens up right by the Violet City gym and from it emerges a large Buzzwhol.]
What the--
[The nuscle bug seems to notice Keith at exactly the same moment and immediately begins to flex. Keith blinks because... what even.... The ultra beast's meaning becomes a whole lot clearer when it charges towards Keith who immediately does a diving roll out of the way, then gets right back up, knife clenched in one hand. At this point, the pokegear's been dropped on the ground, so the visual is one of a rather peaceful looking sky with some while some unreassuring audio blares on.]
You wannna go?! Let's go.
[ooc: feel free to tag in with action if you're around violet city, as well.]

Dunno what else to call these things! They're not like regular pokemon you can catch -- rrgh, take this!
[Keith throws a punch of his own at the Ultra Beast, which almost seems amused by that. It looks at Keith for a second , mouthparts opening and closing before going over towards the gear. Then seeing another face on the screen, it begins to... flex????
Keith just stares at this.]
.... okay. I'm definitely dreaming.
no subject
Steve flexing? Super cool and a total chick magnet, obviously. This bug thing flexing? He's going to have nightmares.]
Ergh! Gross. Why has it stopped attacking you?
[Don't make it sound like you preferred that, Steve.]
no subject
Keith certainly hasn't recovered from this.]
How am I supposed to know? I don't speak alien--
[...Wait.]
You keep it distracted. I'm gonna knock it down!
no subject
monsteralien, Buzzwole, that's why.]How will I keep it distracted?! I don't speak alien!
[Just... by shouting at it is apparently the answer to that. The Buzzwole seems to be taking his yelling as encouragement, flexing up close to the camera for him. This is still terrible, and Keith needs to hurry up and tackle this weird thing already.]
no subject
[And while muscle bug continues to flex for an unwilling audience, Keith takes his window of opportunity to run full tilt and then leap onto the Ultra Beast's beefy back in an attempt to put it some kind of chokehold. Hi, Steve.
The Buzzwhole actually loses balance there for a second, teetering on its three legs, though with a flap of its wings it manages to right itself. ....Except Keith's still on the damn thing's back and now they're both hovering about a foot off the ground.]
What the-- put me down!
[....Which Buzzwhole seems to take a little too much to its alien heart. It shakes Keith off who lands with a heavy thud next to the pokegear.]
Okay that didn't work.
no subject
[At least he's still alive. When he'd dropped to the ground like that Steve had been momentarily worried he might have just witnessed a murder.]
Send your Pokémon to fight it. You're obviously not strong enough.
no subject
I was just at the gym! They're kinda weakened right now--
[Snatching up the pokegear to get a proper look at Steve, Keith breathes out. The Buzzwhole lands several feet away.]
Gonna have to try something else.
[Beef bug crouches, ready to lunge. But this time, Keith stands his ground and ... flexes? And somehow this is making the bug pause?? ...Have fun making sense of this, Steve.]
no subject
[This is extremely weird. Why isn't anyone kicking anyone else's butts? This isn't how fights are supposed to go?]
What are you doing? Why isn't that thing ripping your head off right now?
no subject
I think....
[The Buzzwhole stares right back, antenna flicking. It takes a step forward, power flexing a huge bicep. Keith mirrors that motion exactly, flexing back in return. If this were an old Western, there'd be a ball of dust rolling right on by....]
I think this is how it talks.
no subject
[For someone who claims not to want to see this, Steven sure is staring pretty intently. His face is practically up against the screen. For some reason he just can't look away.]
You should see if it copies you, too. Make it do push ups.
[Can it do push ups with four legs? That's a question he kind of wants to know the answer to.]
