video, action for goldenrod city (un: falcogrice)

[ it is a snowy day on the 18th, and setting up the camera is a young blond boy with bright red cheeks, a gengar jacket, purple mittens and a knitted, multicolored beanie with rounded ears. ]

G-Good morning! My name is Falco, and I'm a Breeder. [ he rubs his hands together even with his mittens on, pausing to breathe in and just— garnering greater attention from two growlithe on either side of him. one is kantonian, the other is hisuian, and they are quite happy to cuddle up and keep their owner warm! it's cold—! by far was he expecting snow, in a park somewhere within goldenrod city, but, responsibility and all that . . . ! he needed to make sure his pokemon got some fresh air. behind him, an eevee bounds around in the snow and plays with an empoleon who just seems to be playfully (dignantly) waving her flippers every so often to get the little furball running. a red, squiggly line seems to band around a tree, but sharp eyes might see it occasionally move . . . up the tree. ] It's only been a few months since I've started, but, I really like what I do! I've been breeding more, but rather than breeding the Pokemon I have, I've been trying to stick to specific orders from trainers! S-so, if anyone is looking for a specific Pokemon, with or without an egg move or Hidden Ability, I could work on that!

[ the growlithe both sniff the air, but don't seem to leave falco's side even when their ears perk up with alarm. they ruff at the empoleon, and the massive penguine simply gives a knowing sage nod. falco, on the other hand, looks back for just a moment to check on them before returning his attention to the camera and following what he practiced (you could tell he practiced to be speaking right now, even with the nippy cold jitters!) ]

I'll always answer my messages as quickly as possible, and attached to this is a list of eggs I have from previous batches left over from breeding for someone! They're open for being sold or traded if anyone would like to take them ho—

[ thwack. falco's head lightly jerks forward and a splatter of snow bursts from the impact. he's just been hit with a snowball from the . . . tree. the squiggly red line jitters on camera. he tries not to laugh or frown and contorts his face while doing so, still trying to keep it straight and continue on with his words. ]

. . . Take them home, and, [ thwack. he gets hit again, somewhere behind his back, looks up at the tree— but the kecleon that suddenly appears there, with its red tummy line, shrugs and shakes her head. if it wasn't sharpshooter, then . . . THWACK. ] Ow—

[ that came on much heavier and not from the kecleon, or the empoleon, and eevee doesn't even have hands to throw snowballs with. behind him, a hoard of galarian darumaka position from the bushes, rooves and street corners, and throw snowballs at everyone. the reckoning has begun. falco takes cover, and so do the rest of his pokemon except for the eevee who thinks he could handle it by using tail whip. he's hit straight in the gut by an ice stone wrapped in snow, falls back, and. light explosion happens. falco grabs his camera and runs for the downed eevee while the darumaka only seem to be jumping around harmlessly at this point, chittering gleefully at their success. ]

Spice! Are you—?! [ with a wheel made around the eevee to check on him, that's. that's actually no longer an eevee. ] E-evolved?

[ ??????? ]

I-I was waiting to make him a Flareon!

(ooc; feel free to use his breeding post if interested in either current claims or putting orders in! ♥ )

S-sir? Sir are you alright?

[SIR WHY ARE YOU BEING ATTACKED BY SNOWBALLS?]

I’m fine, but— [ the flareon-bound eevee has taken a sharp turn to icy town. there might have been some disappointment there, in changing his plans, but— if anything, he was adaptable. plus, he didn’t want to make spice feel bad (who was already expectantly awaiting his attention). ] . . . We’re all fine.

Thank you, Miss.

...

[Sir that was the worst lie she's ever seen. But she does consider.] That is good to hear. That looked...uncomfortable.

[ the attempt at being understanding and emotionally mature is there!! ]

I’m glad he’s not actually hurt, either . . . [ he pets spice and he chirrups! ] I can always breed more Eevees, and— I guess I didn’t have an Ice type yet?

[ so there’s that! 😭 ]

He's very pretty like this...

[She does mean it, and smiles a little sympathetically.] And I'm sure he wanted to protect you, so I suppose it's harder to feel mad, even if it was...reckless.

That's why I named him 'Spice'.

[ falco manages to smile back with fondness. taking the camera away from his face, he focuses on giving the glaceon some spotlight. he's going to be a father, sometime soon! so it's best to strut his stuff. he's definitely enjoying the camera. ]

He's always been a little— Hotheaded? So I thought it was fitting.

He seems to be quite bonded to you, so I'm sure he treasures the name, as well.

[In spite of everything, the whole situation is quite cute, now.]

Well, um— if you don't want accidental evolutions to happen, don't forget your Everstones.

[ he just learned about this, today. but, well— he's liking the idea a little more. it's good to have some variety. ]

Evolve?

[None of hers have yet (though, from this side of the narration box, her rookidee is getting Close), and no one has warned her. Oh dear.]

That transformation then?

Oh— yes! Have you not seen one yet?

I've seen...a couple videos like this but none of mine have.

[She looks down at her Riolu, who yips up at her.] He'd like to be bigger and stronger, but it seems he's not ready yet? Or maybe just not grown enough.

Of course— [ riolu . . . he should really take the next egg he comes up with for one. they're greatly used. ] I know it depends on the pokemon. Some of them evolve earlier than others. And some just take more time, whether they're not ready or don't want to.

Um, my friend has a Ryhorn, and he should've evolved a while ago by level . . . But he doesn't want to evolve yet because he's afraid of heights and uncomfortable with the idea of being bipedal.

[ his smile is fond rather than thinking it's funny. meanwhile, gabi just gets miffed. ]

Oh!

[She does giggle a bit, but stifles her laugh with a hand.] Oh dear, the poor thing. Well, such phobias can be worked through with patient listening...but It'd be best not to make him feel as though he has no choice. I can't say I blame him...I've never much liked heights either.

[Oh Naeva it's gonna suck for you so bad when your rookidee reaches Corviknight.]

[ with an awkward laugh, he looks to the side and mutters: ]

I've tried telling his trainer about that . . .

Edited 2022-12-10 13:19 (UTC)

...Do you think it would help if she heard it more...directly from him?

[It can't be totally direct but...still.]

She . . . kind of did . . .

[ falco makes a face. ]

My Ralts translated for us at the time. [ falco turns his camera to so low key commotion happening off-screen. it's a girl with dark brown hair howling around with snowball fights and the pokemon out. ] He doesn't . . . Seem to mind, at least? Gabi's pretty blunt about what she thinks.

...As long as she's not putting too much pressure on him that hurts him, I suppose it's fine.

[She has some Concerns.]

[You know, he was going to respond to this for other reasons, but there's a more immediate concern.]

Falco, are you alright?

Yes, sir— I was just, [ the glaceon at falco’s feet and pawing at his tummy now just gets him to sigh and pat at the fur on its head. ] surprised.

... Thank goodness. And I suppose some congratulations are in order, even if they're... unexpected.

[He rubs the back of his neck, as the Empoleon that had been lingering in the background comes over to see what Bruno's doing. And promptly waves excitedly at Falco's own Empoleon. Look, look, Rosmarino's all grown up now!!!]

Unexpected incidents aside, there was something I wanted to discuss with you.

Is that—?

[ falco clasps his lips shut, but he can’t seem to hide that he’s smiling despite interrupting himself. he knows who that is–! and while he’s listening, he wordlessly bumps poppie’s belly for her attention to look down. look! your kid!!

(and she could not be more prideful about it) ]

—Yes, Mister Bruno?

[ since the darumaka don’t seem to be so ballistic with their snowballs, just hopping around now, he thinks he could stay out here to listen. ]

Rosmarino's been doing well.

[He smiles warmly]

Ah, here, give me a moment-- [He switches the video to private. Don't want to risk Abbacchio happening across this later!]

... There. With the holidays coming up, I want to give someone in my travel group a Zorua egg and I want it to be a surprise. I can provide my Lucario for egg moves--he has Counter and Detect.

[ oh man, a job—! his first ask for breeding was for a gift, and now he’s getting gift orders! this is really exciting.

falco has to pull for his pocket notebook to scribble this down. mittens have to be off to do that, but it’s just a second once her finds a place to sit, most likely just beneath the tree his kecleon is in. ]

That’s great— so just those egg moves?

Yes, I think so--although, come to think of it, my Lucario knows Copycat, so that'll likely be passed on, too... but aside from that, those first two moves are the only particular specifications I have.

Now that I remember . . . You got that Riolu from me too, right?

[ falco looks absolutely humbled and bows his head meekly. that’s two— now three in a row. ]

Thank you for working with us. Um— Okay. Until what date do you need it for?

That's right. And I'm looking forward to working with you more in the future.

December 25th at the absolute latest, if that's doable?

[ AHHHH!! you’ve just made a boy’s day, sir! 🥹 ]

I can get it done before that, maybe . . . The first week of December.

[Good!! He's glad!! He's honestly pretty fond of Falco already...]

Wonderful. I'll send you the money now,and you can let me know when to send Valente over?

Of course, Mister Bruno! Until then, and— thank you!

[Radley's Pokemon were ecstatic to see the snow and begged him to take them out in it, so of course he complied. They come upon Falco and his Eevee's parents exclaim excitedly, wanting to go over and visit! Then the snowball fight happens and Radley's Pokemon start hurrying to help when Falco and his Pokemon aren't up for joining in. They stare in horrified shock when the poor Eevee is hit and falls over. They all run over, stopping short at the explosion.]

What the ... ?! That was an Icy Rock?!

[Radley immediately looks around in the snow for it. He doesn't want any of his Pokemon hit by it. Evie has an Everstone, but not all of his Eevees do.]

Are you guys okay?

[The Eevee's parents, Isla and Kiryu, run to the new Glaceon, warbling in concern while also admiring his new form.]

Edited 2022-11-18 21:44 (UTC)

Oh— Mister Radely!

[ and spice’s parents! the newly evolved glaceon is recovering from the little ice stone dunk, but now that falco tries to sift through the snow for it— it’s gone. does that happen during stone-based evolution? he’s learning that now looks like. spice, despite getting hit, takes it with stride, and surprising pride at his new form.

even if falco had other plans, there’s just no way he could stay upset. he gives spice a pat on the head, and he chirrups at him and her parents. ]

We’re all okay . . . We just weren’t expecting it.

[ the galarian darumaka hopping around still don’t seem to be outright hostile. they just want to play. ]

[Radley is just as glad it's gone, and very relieved Spice is alright.]

Yeah, that was pretty something. I never thought I'd have to worry about stones being lobbed at us in snowballs. We'll have to watch for that.

[And he won't delay getting more Everstones for those of his Pokemon who want them, that's for sure.

Evie wags her tail, compliments Spice, and talks to the Darumaka. She wants to play too! But she asks him to be careful of rocks in snowballs. They can hurt!

Isla and Kiryu continue talking to Spice, asking how he likes his home.]

Yeah— and at least . . . Spice looks happier.

[ spice likes his home very much; he always gets time to play with the others and falco is a sweet boy. no complaints! so why don’t they all go play with the darumaka while everyone is in agreement? (be mindful of the ice stones, please!) ]

And that's the most important thing.

[Radley smiles a bit.

Evie thinks that sounds wonderful, very similar to them with Radley! She starts off romping through the snow.]

[They didn't really get much snow in Libero. Too far south, maybe frost occasionally, but when did they have time to play? So Gabi, happily oblivious ran around the opposite street corner and...

Threw another snowball right at him.

...She wasn't helping him. She was accidentally helping the pokemon.]

[ he’s getting through his messages and— thwack. the galarian darumaka all collectively hop in surprise at the sudden snow ball launch. falco turns around and— ]

Gabi—?!

[ the snow pokémon pack their snow and prepare for crossfire. snow fight!!! ]

[Gabi just cackles, loudly. Diving and grabbing more snow, throwing it at everything that moves. She might not have had the biggest hands, but her snowballs were about the same size as the darumaka. She didn't hit as often as they did, but the ones she hit got obliterated.

Shame she was mainly targeting Falco. Bully.]

[ falco does at least get some breathing room while the one's gabi throws hit the darumaka, but he sees that there're a lot more snowballs on him than anywhere else. so that's how it is—!

disappearing behind a tree and keeping cover there, falco packs at least five consecutive balls with his mittens, and when it's time— ]

Take this!

[ he's throwing right back at her!!! ]

[Her face was split into a wide grin as she ducked and went to scoop up more snow. She'd not found cover yet, not properly. The nearest thing was a bench with open slats. The snow just collided with it and shattered, still glancing her.

Gabi burst into laughter, then threw more. Aiming only at Falco this time.

That was a mistake, the pokemon were sneaking behind her.]

[this throwing back and forth may have landed some hits as is; falco knows every pelt that hits his jacket in more fuel for her laughter, which, god, that was absolutely fine&mdash oh, except. except that. ]

Gabi! Gabi!

[ behind you!! he's trying to point!!! but the last thing to hit him is a snow ball right to the face. man down! ]

[Too busy laughing and thinking he was trying to trick her. Because...that's what she'd do. She'd have tried to make him look behind so she could get an easy shot.

And so, she was bombarded. The little fuzzy pokemon jumping next to her. It's fine? They were just pinning her into the snow. She was being dunked.

Just muffled yelling...And some swearing.]

[ okay, he's— he's coming over and trying to shoo them away, cupping loose snow with his mitten hands and dragging it away to break her out of there, and—

after a moment of staring, he snorts. the snort is close to becoming a laugh, but he's stiffling it. ]

[AVENGE HER, she has fallen victim to the tiny snow monkeys. She was still struggling and wiggling. But the Darumaka just rolled off and giggled before clinging again. They were getting dumped in the snow, but it was worth it. They were overjoyed at the new play friend who was just as cheeky.

Gabi managed to shove herself up at the noise.]

HEY!

[She couldn't throw a snowball, but she could swing her arm and toss some snow up.]

[ falco laughs a little louder this time, even when it's cut short by a surprised bark as snow is flurried upwards and thrown into not only his face, but yes, his mouth. pthhptphhtppthh!! ]

You're the one who got dunked on—! [ and so: avenge her, he does! scooping more snow into his mittens to launch at her and the darumaka. ] I'll save you!

[HMPH, good. This pleases the Gabi, who was still scowling as she wiggled. These little fuzzballs were surprisingly heavy. They were grinning as their little paws held her coat, arms only just long enough to wrap around her arms.

Gabi opened her mouth to yell... Only she sneezed instead. Couldn't even use her arm to block it. Ew.]

[ —it’s all over him. it’s all over his face.

the patience……………… he is an angel that will go straight to heaven. surely. ]

Maybe we should go inside before you get sick . . .

[ and he needs a towel. ]
