[The network gets a video displaying something that is likely familiar to every single viewer: a dreaded Ledge. Altogether, it looks unintimidating, a lovely short grass path just a few feet above another like it, likely on one of the earlier, calmer routes. The only thing out of place, really, is a man scratching his chin, staring at the shelf of rock like it’s some nigh impossible math problem.

The thing is, he’s huge. Taller than the ledge, even. He can literally peer over the top of it.

First, he lifts the Pokemon at his side, a particularly lethargic Teddiursa, and carefully places it atop the ridge. It promptly tumbles over the side and starts to slide back down, although its trainer catches it before it can sustain any injuries. This repeats once or twice, to the human’s mounting chagrin.

Now, he sets the bear cub on his shoulder and makes as if he’s going to climb the microscopic cliff as Teddiursa settles comfortably in his poncho. And once again, in spite of the high likelihood of him being able to uproot a tree with his bare hands judging by his muscle mass, he can’t keep a grip, and slips down the rocks. His brows furrow deeply as he motions with a hand to the top of the ledge, then to his own head, like one would compare heights.

His shoulders slump as he finally makes his way to the Gear, patting whatever Pokemon has been kind enough to record for him before picking it up and giving the camera an exasperated look.]

So... what's goin’ on with that?

You mean the peachy lookin' ones? [A beat.] They do look like butts, don't they?

[livlaughlove]

Peachy... peacha? Somethin' like that. Sorry, couldn't remember. [He's just gonna hide his face.]

[oleaeuropaea]

Buttfruit sounds right to me.

[He's never letting this go, thank you.]

[livlaughlove]

[Don't mind Liv, just shoving Vash away. Relatively gently. But his "relatively" is still probably enough to send Vash careening a little bit if he isn't ready.]

[oleaeuropaea]

[Sure enough, there he goes. Splatting on the ground and...

... Laughing?

He rolls from his stomach to his back, giggling away.]

You - You're alright, Livio. Think I don't mind keeping you around.

[livlaughlove]

[For a second, he looks like he's about to trip all over himself apologizing, but... he doesn't think he could actually hurt Vash, come to think of it. So he just shakes his head and offers Vash a hand.]

Thanks fer easin' my conscience, then.
