012 | Video

[After all the ruckus that happened with the ghosts appearing during the festival, Kaneki decided that maybe he'd been in Ecruteak a bit longer than he was due. He wanted to stay at the library forever, but after coming back to Olivine, he found himself relieved to be someplace that felt more like home now than not. And that didn't mean he couldn't regularly check out books there; in fact, he did at least once a week when he was off from work.

Today though, Kaneki can be seen knelt on the porch of his home, Gear pointed toward himself with one hand. At his left, a Smeargle and a shiny Pumpkaboo hover curiously at his elbow while Rikki the Guard Zangoose keeps her ever present perch on his shoulder. They all appear to be staring not at the screen, but at the cracks in the wood boards of the porch.]

Hey, so...I know it's been a long time since I've made a video post, but...there's something going on. This morning, I found- well...look.

[He reaches into his apron pockets and pulls out a wrapped peppermint, one of the kinds you might get at a restaurant. He hands it to the Smeargle, who quickly unwraps it and places it back in Kaneki's palm. Then, Kaneki takes the sweet and places it a few inches from one of those cracks.

A few moments pass in silence before, all of a sudden, a black little...hand of some sort reaches up and blindly feels around for a bit before it finds the candy and pulls it back down into the depths beneath the porch.

Then, Kaneki looks back at the Gear. He looks a bit wigged out to say the least.]

Annie and Night Light went down there to try and see what it was earlier, but they couldn't find anything. I really...don't know what to make of it.

[Is it a Pokemon? Is it some sort of unidentified gremlin? We just don't know.]

video / action for azalea town

VIDEO

[Look at this poor, poor man. He's been buried alive in a mess of fur and minerals. Save him. He's sitting in the grass in town, leaned up against a "sleeping" Graveler who clearly has one eye open and fixated on a grumpy-faced Meowstic on Vaughn's other side. An infant Eevee in his lap paws enthusiastically at one of the cat Pokemon's two tails. Behind him, a Growlithe and a Riolu chase each other on and off the screen.

Vaughn looks more than delighted to be covered in these creatures.]

I finally have a full team! The past week's been a trip. Gorgon was the first one to evolve. Started glowing in the middle of the night, scared the heck outta me!

[A small face peeks out from inside the rim of his scarf, whiskers and ears twitching curiously at the camera before the Meowth ducks back into its hiding spot.] Then Meowth popped out of his egg outside of town, and Buffy grew legs and another set of arms. And this little fluffball just hatched! [He scratches the Eevee on its head before wiping a fake tear from his eye.] I'm so proud of my beautiful children.

Not sure what to name the hatchlings, but they're sweet little guys.

ACTION - AZALEA TOWN

[Vaughn will stick around outdoors in town for a while, maybe napping in the grass at some point. He'll be friendly to any trainers (or Slowpoke) who wander over, and may offer a light-hearted battle to the former if they're interested. But he's perfectly content just resting and chatting, too!

His Riolu will be more than friendly to any Pokemon out and about with their trainers, and will likely approach them to say hello in Poke-language.]

[Video] [Action for Goldenrod]

[Video]

[So. That's a Linoone on the feed right now. A ridiculously overweight Linoone who's trying very hard to sleep on this bed here, but he's well aware he's being filmed right now. He wants to ignore it, really, but Komasan's voice can be heard from behind the 'gear. Life's tough.]

Yosh! This is Isamu, zura. [The Linoone tries to roll onto his side, away from the camera.] He's gotten very lazy lately, but now that I own him, I have to make things right, zura!

[The feed then gets obnoxiously close to the Pokemon's face, and Isamu can't help but give a little squeaky groan.]

Isamu is a good Pokemon, he's special, and I've been letting him down by allowing him to sleep all the time, zura! From this point on, we're gonna be training until he's back in battling shape, zura!

[Isamu does absolutely nothing in response to this.]

Ah...but... [Komasan's voice begins to falter.] ...he might need some encouragement, z-zura...

[Action]

[So then, anyone in Goldenrod might spot some weirdo and his round Linoone jogging through the city, the two of them wearing matching black and neon-green...tracksuits. As always, Komasan's Dunsparce rides on his shoulders, and occasionally the group stops for a break and get water downed by his Ludicolo.

It's all just very strange.]

Current Mood: annoyed

What the hell's with all the flowers?

[That's really all Handsome Jack is concerned with, at the moment.]

Seriously.

What the hell?

[Action]

[Freaking flowers.]

[They're everywhere. The sidewalks look like the aftermath of some kind of soft core snowstorm already and more just keep falling from...he doesn't even know. A pocket dimension, who the hell knows? He's been standing outside his usual cafe for hardly a handful of minutes, and already there are pastel petals in his hair and flowers clinging to his blazer and getting caught on his watches and in the hinges of his mask.]

[Not to mention floating in his overly-sweet coffee.]

[It's too much to hope for that the rain of flora is at least recreationally viable. The only kind of highs plants around here give are not fun ones. This planet sucks. If it weren't so clearly ripe for the picking, with nobody else even thinking about grabbing it, he doubts he could find anything redeeming about it at the moment. It's not even terrible, it's just stupid and annoying. Everything is stupid and annoying.]

[He sighs audibly, covering his face with his hand and adopting a dramatically irritated pose.]

[His nose is starting to itch. And he's got to bike back through this ridiculous weather. With his stupid fat puppy. That's rolling in the flowers because of course the scary bone dog named Doom Boner loves flowers.]

[What did he ever do to deserve this?]

[Video/Action for Violet City]

[Video]

[Antoine is still adjusting to his human body, which is evident as he keeps rubbing his cheek while he makes this video. Also, there's a Bunnelby on hanging off his arm.]

Seeing as I've yet to wake up from zis nightmare, I must be admitting my stay here will be longer zan expected. But I will be getting some answers! And I'll be needing your help to do so, especially from zose who have been here for some time.

I am aware zere ees some sort of law force here, Officer Jenny, but what else? Are zere jails and prisons? Are zere elected officials to dole out ze laws? Presidents, royalty, or leaders of ze land?

And most importantly... HOW DO YOU TURN OFF ZAT INFERNAL MUSIC?! My ears are somehow smaller now but zey still hear zis nonsense!

[Action]

[Near the local Gym, Antoine has decided to vigorously train his 'mon the best way he knows how. Bunnelby and Pachirisu are content to sit and watch, as Antoine holds up a big stick and swings it like one would do with a sword.]

Now, like zat, just like zat!

[Honedge, the floating ghost sword, then mimics his master's actions, swish-swish!]

Hmmm... a little slow, but we shall work on eet. Now, again! From ze top!

[Action | Video] ;; New Bark Town

[A - Action]. OH THE HUMANITY!!!

[The first thing Mettaton does upon his arrival doesn't really pertain to his Pokémon. Certainly he had been mildly curious and released his new friend by accident, but that really wasn't at the forefront of his mind.

Instead he is busy simply existing near the outskirts of New Bark Town, having fallen to his knees upon realizing that he was human. Sure, it was a bit dramatic, but he was nothing if not a drama queen. LET HIM HAVE THIS!!

So there he stays, simply content to feel everything new about him. The beat of his heart thrumming in his chest, encased by a living skeleton, muscles, and skin. He needs to take all of this in, and as he does, it makes his heart race and his head spin.

He can't even be embarrassed to feel the warmth of tears running down his tanned cheeks. He can cry! God, he can cry, he can feel things in such a different way!! It's a little overwhelming, that's all!

Th...this is the happiest...moment of my life!!

[He proclaims this loudly, with exaggerated body movements to convey his point. Being choked up will never take away his showmanship, but hey! HE'S A HUMAN!!!

And a good looking one, despite his over-the-top emoting. He's a slender fellow and his clothes is all form-fitting, covering most of his body, including his white gloves. And of course, no one could ever part Mettaton from his boots. So however he got here, the three-inch heels came, in all their pink glory. Slithering on one of said boots is a concerned Goomy making burbly noises because his trainer is crying.

[B - Video]. Baby's First Broadcast

[Some time later, Mettaton has figured out a little bit about his PokéGear by fiddling with it. He's even pointed it at his new Poké-buddy and gotten some interesting tidbits about Goomies, as well as thought up a nice name for him!

Now though, he is making use of the PokéConnect function. It's not that much different from using a cellphone, so it works for him! Before long, he's got the camera centered and with the touch of a button, his feed starts.]

Good afternoon, my new beauties and gentlebeauties!! Most of you don't know me, and that is a sad state of affairs!! [He wiggles the fingers of his free hand at the camera in greeting, his grin widening.] Yes, hello! I am Mettaton, and I am positively enthused to be here and meet all of you!! Or at least to do so in the future!

So!! Before I ended up here, I was two things; a robot and a popular entertainer!! Now I'm no longer a robot, or popular! However, there is no point lamenting that, because the part that still matters is the entertainer bit!

[With how expressive he is, that's not surprising. Even the way he speaks carries charisma and experience with addressing an audience. Though this isn't so much an audience as, well. A bunch of people who probably feel awkward that a total stranger is so enthusiastic about speaking to them.]

Anyway, I would love to carry on being an entertainer while I work towards the ultimate goal of raising my new partner, Silky!! [A pause as he tilts the camera up, showing that there is in fact a Goomy in his hair. Gross. Oh well, he doesn't seem to mind.] I also aspire to gather him up a bunch of new friends because that seems like the thing to do!!

Still, I would love to put on shows for you all the same way I've done for my darling fans back home! So here's a little pop quiz: What sort of things do you all find interesting and/or would like to see in a show setting?

Don't be shy, now! My Gear is always open to you, darlings!! Toodles!

Pardon me. [ While the feed is imperfect due to the lowered angle, it remains steady despite the uncertainty present in her voice and mannerisms. Teach this girl how to take a selfie and she'll be a master of them easily enough with a grip this steady.

Camera issues aside, there's something she needs to address which is why she's taken for calling for advice. ] Earlier in the day, I received instruction to begin my journey by leaving this town and to head for the next via Route 29. Each time I approach the outskirts of New Bark Town however my companion refuses to let me pass.

[ By knocking her straight on her butt each time. She clears her throat a little, unaware of how much the microphone picks up. It's embarrassing to have to confess to being outwitted by a creature, but she doesn't want to fight it. Not without her bow or her magic, both of which have been denied to her in this foreign country. ]

He seems more interested in splashing about in the water near the coast rather than accompanying me on my travels, yet each time I try to leave him behind... [ Same thing. It's as if he's acting out or possibly is trying to convey some other message that she's yet to pick up on. ] Do they mean for them to be so difficult?

[ Others seem to be getting along better with their partners by comparison. It's a little discouraging but she doesn't allow for it to knock her down. ~~That's for the Dratini to do.~~ ] If you have any instruction on this matter, I would like to hear of it. Thank you. [ Click!

In the meantime... she's going to continue to try to take Route 29 out of New Bark Town and continue to be denied by her partner. It doesn't look that dangerous up ahead, so what's the matter? ]

Chapter 1 - video/action for Ilex;

[How odd. It's like there's a total lapse in his memory... not that this is anything new. He distinctly remembers setting off to collect more badges, yet here he is, back in the Goldenrod area, minus all but one Pokémon, all his badges and belongings, and with a new secondary starter.

Still, for all his bewilderment, Ringabel greets the camera with a cool expression.]

How strange! Seems I've been away for a while, yet my memory suggests otherwise. I'd been told that those who leave simply forget, but I honestly can't remember even returning to Luxendarc...

Yet my Bisharp has reverted to a significantly lower level, and my team seems to have vanished outright...

[Sighing, he rubs at his brow.]

I'd ask if anyone has seen the rest of my roster, but I suppose it's best to assume the worst in these situations, hm? And I suppose there's always the option to search for them...

[Shaking his head, he soon recovers with a smile.]

In any case, to all the ladies of Johto and Kanto alike, and to those I've yet to meet, you can call me Ringabel, and it seems my journey here is far from over.

[...]

Now then, I take it things have gotten a bit... messy in my absence, and I'm quite curious to hear the full story.

[In the mean time, he'll venture further into the woods. Talk of poison types running wild is more than enough to catch his interest, and he's fortunate enough to have a steel type.]

[Log] 012 | Action for Blackthorn - New Bark

Who: Kaneki Ken, Maka Albarn, Envy, Heather Mason, Henry Townshend, Micchy, Mai, and anyone else who wants to come help!
What: Bats are pouring out of the Dark Cave at an alarming rate, terrifying some poor Phanpy on Route 45. Somehow, they must be tamed.
When: Early June, Shock-Blocked event
Where: Route 45, Dark Cave, wherever Bat Pokemon and Phanpy are sold

Whether you're like Kaneki and hadn't been anywhere near Blackthorn or New Bark when Moon Prom happened, or you were expecting shenanigans to happen anyway (given the fact that we were just on the moon, and all), there is definitely a ruckus on route 45. The Dark Cave being full of Zubat, Noibat, and the like isn't unusual. What is unusual is the fact that the bats are flying out of it, screeching and fluttering about in a frenzy.

Said frenzy is proving to be a terrifying situation for a group of Phanpy nearby, who are scattered all over the route in various states of panic.

Someone's going to have to do something about that.

[OOC: This is a mingle log for taking care of the issues happening between Blackthorn and New Bark! Feel free to make top levels and tag at your leisure. This post is open for whoever wants to come and help, not necessarily just those listed!]
