[01] video / action - route 29 + cherrygrove

[video - route 29, backdated to 1/4. action responses welcome too!]

[The video clicks on to the darkened, zoomed in face of a Bunnelby. It sniffs at the PokeGear and its sudden light and noises, then quickly loses interest. As it moves on, daylight filters in and illuminates the contents of a bag, all being jostled as the Pokemon rummages around.

This goes on for a minute or two before the bag sags, revealing some of the surrounding forest and... a giant Eevee?

No, actually... It's a person wearing an Eevee kigurumi over the outside of their clothes, like an animal skin. The kid is silent and stern-faced, in the stalking stance of a predator as he gets closer and closer... and finally, after crouching, he pounces.

Quite a few things happen in the next span of two seconds. The Gear gets thrown out into the snow as the boy lands, and the Bunnelby screams in surprise. The bark of a Rockruff sounds off furiously in tandem. There's the loud, wet splat of a Mud-Slap hitting true, and a pained grunt from the victim.

Upside down, the camera still films the Bunnelby sprinting back off into the trees, and the boy now caked in mud heaves a sigh as he starts to scrape the dirt from his eyes and mouth.]



[action - cherrygrove, forward-dated to 1/6]

[After nightfall, it may be considered wise for most humans in Cherrygrove to be indoors and bundled up. After all, the combination of snow and ocean air only serves to exacerbate the cold.

It seems, though, that isn't the case for one person. A skinny teenaged boy in tattered clothing and his Rockruff shadow slink through the quiet town, avoiding streetlamps, windows, and doorways. When things catch his attention -- an odd machine, a distant noise -- he pauses to stare and listen and sniff, but ultimately keeps moving. When he stays still, the chill really sets in, and he can't afford to get much colder.

Like a stray dog, he follows his nose to the back entrances of what few restaurants there are and starts picking through the trash. His face is curious, seemingly ignorant to the fact that it's... you know. Trash.]

Your friend? Do you mean Pup there, or someone else?

Just to be clear, you don't have a secret wild girlfriend out in the woods, do you? You're talking about someone who doesn't eat garbage to stay alive, right?

It's your money, so you get to do what you want with it. Just make sure you save enough of it so you have what you need, alright? If you run out, you'll be in trouble.

Do you know how to have Pokemon battles with other people? You can make money that way. It might suit you.

I know, right? What I wouldn't give for proper sword, so I could take care of all this battling business myself! But they insist it only be between Pokemon in this world. Since it's more of a spar than a real fight, I don't mind it, but it's an odd thing altogether.

Just a little roughed up, but it's nothing a visit to the Pokemon Center can't fix. Most of them like it so much, they don't mind.

Wild ones might attack you, but Pup there is likely to fend them off. Ena here is quite serious about keeping me safe, even though I'd be fine with battling myself.

There, see? It's worth a shot. If you find that neither of you likes it, you can change your mind. No shame in that.
