[mon_dieu]

 [Antoine really doesn't have faith in the current working police system, so he's been doing his best to avoid Team Skull and stay out of trouble at all costs. Today is a bit more difficult as his recent capture, Slowpoke, won't spit out the turned-on Pokegear.]

Give eet! Eet does not even taste good, I am betting! Spit eet out zis instant! ... Can one of you be helping me?

[Doublade and DIggserby just shrug. Antoine rolls his eyes, but before he can try again - ]

Out of the way, loser!

[EEK - I mean, Antoine lets out a many yelp, sweating profusely. It's two members of TEAM SKULL! dun dun dunnn. Antoine's knees begin knocking, and he looks ready to hide behind his mons.]

Ah! ... Young sirs, I am wishing you no ill will. Eef you would just give me a moment - 

You hear this guy? I think he's insulting us!

Bro, we should teach him a lesson!

Non non non, I assure you no education ees necessary! I-I will be moving right zis instant!

Pffft, that's right, nerd! Go and take your ugly Diggersby with ya!

[... Antoine's face instantly goes from scared and cowardly to very very very VERY ANGRY...]

What did you say. About my Bunbun.

What, those big ears of yours full of dirt? We said get your ugly Pokemon out of here! Only awesome looking 'mons are allowed here!

[There's a beat of silence. Antoine is calmly reaching for Doublade's hilts. Just then, the Slowpoke slowly spits out the camera, so it lays on the ground and can't see the battle. Whatever's going on, those team bros have suddenly started screaming.]

TH-THAT AIN'T HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BATTLE, MAN! I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY NEW CLOTHES!

OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! W-WE'RE GUNNA GET OUR BIG BOSS TO GET OUR REVENGE!

[These guys just insulted a Diggersby. A poor, innocent Diggersby.]

Crush them. Rip them to shred. Take that misused skull imagery of theirs and shove it down their throats.

[video]

[mon_dieu]

[The screams die down and are replaced with running feet. Eventually, Antoine picks up the Pokegear, and wipes off the slobber. The reunited Doublade hovers behind him.]

Rest assured, zey will not be making ZAT mistake again.

[video]

[captainash]

Excellent. That's all they deserve.

[There's something... somewhat nasty about Ash's smile, for an instant, but then it softens.]

I hope your Bunbun's feelings aren't too hurt. Such a ridiculous opinion isn't worth considering.

[video]

[mon_dieu]

[If anything 'BunBun' looks a little embarrassed. She scratches the back of her head while Antoine patpats her.]

Ah, my little one ees made of stronger stuff zan zat! Insults from poorly dressed cretins could never hurt her.

[video]

[captainash]

Glad to hear it. Think they'll have the guts to come with that 'big boss' of theirs, after the beating you gave them? They sounded too terrified to try again anytime soon.

[video]

[journalname]

Goodness, are you alright?

[video]

[mon_dieu]

[The screams die down and are replaced with running feet. Eventually, Antoine picks up the Pokegear, and wipes off the slobber. The reunited Doublade hovers behind him.]

Me? I am perfectly fine. But I do not think zose fools shall be speaking such ridiculous things ever again.

[video]

[journalname]

Hahaha, well done. I do hope you weren't too harsh on them?

[video]

[mon_dieu]

I could have done worse, I am admitting, but I did not want to wear out Armand.

[That'd be the Doublade hovering up and down behind him happily. DAD THAT WAS FUN LET'S DO IT AGAIN-]

[journalname]

Well, they are only young humans, are they not? That does not give them the right to wander around attacking others, but I should still hate to see them hurt badly.

[islandshore]

[...Wow.

Riku can't help it. There's a small clap, coupled with a smirk.]

Okay, don't know what you did to get them so worked up-- I take it you used that Doublade on 'em? Either way, kudos for taking a more direct approach.

[mon_dieu]

[he leans over, now in the camera's sight. Indeed, the swords of Doublade are held in his hands. They seem pleased.]

Haunted sword or not, none can beat Antoine D'Coolette when eet comes to ze blade.

video

[islandshore]

How'd you get 'em to cooperate, though? Most people have to deal with the, uh... soul sucking business.

[He has in the past, though whether that's changed or not... well, that goes unsaid for now.]

video

[mon_dieu]

A good man gave me excellent advice... Instead of treating zem like soul-suckers, zey are like my children!

video

[islandshore]

Heh, good call on your part. Seems like it'd take a lot of respect to get them to lower their guards. Especially if the soul-sucking's natural to them.

And I'm not saying it's anything more than a defense mechanism.

Video

[dreamsofahero]

Quick to defend your pokemon's honor, I see.

Video

[mon_dieu]

[Moments later, he calmly picks up the... drool-covered Pokegear.]

No one insults rabbits een my presence and gets away with eet.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? You must have a particular fondness for them then, I take it.

*as... odd as that seems, given that Sion recalls Antoine mentioning that normally he's a coyote of some sort*

Re: Video

[mon_dieu]

[It's going to get odder, buddy.]

But of course, I married one!

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

*... well. On the one hand, that definitely goes entirely against how animals in nature work, as far as he understands it, but on the other, well, the pokemon here definitely have stranger combinations.....*

Ah, so you mean to say you're terribly biased, in that case.

*he'll just chalk it up to other worlds being weird*

[darkcure]

I hope you taught those meanies a lesson!

[mon_dieu]

[Moments later, looking quite smug and satisfied...]

One zey shall never forget! School ees een session, as you young ones say!

[antoine you are in your twenties.]

[darkcure]

[Elize... can't say she's really heard that one before, but that's not important. She gets the intent!]

Good. They were nothing but big bullies! Maybe now they'll think twice before they act so rude.

video;

[mon_dieu]

I am hoping, but... I have heard zese men have been appearing all over. Ees zat true?

video;

[darkcure]

I've heard people talk about them a lot. Um, I saw some of them myself, but they looked really suspicious, so I stayed away from them.

Peach didn't like them either.

[On cue, a Happiny pops into the frame and nods. Yeah, those Skull guys were clearly trouble.]

So they're new? I haven't been here for that long yet, so I wouldn't really know.
