[action for violet city + outskirts]

[HEY YOU

YES YOU

ARE YOU ANYWHERE IN OR IMMEDIATELY AROUND THE CITY? DO YOU HAVE YOUR POKEMON OUT? ARE YOU TRAINING THEM TODAY? ARE THEY EVEN JUST KIND OF USING THEIR POWERS?

Because if so, some kid's sauntering up to you with a gleam in his eye and a Houndour at his heels. And if you don't recognize that "when two trainers' eyes meet" kind of look...well, he's gonna ask anyways.]

[Setting: the end of Route 31, by the side of a pond near the Violet City gatehouse. Subject: One Walter, and one Rattata lounging in his lap, both looking a little roughed-up but otherwise content. Additional details: a busy metal clinking and birdlike humming off somewhere in the background.]

Well, I suppose it's worth the try... [No sooner has he started the video, peered into it, and said that than he flips the Gear around to get an image of the water. A green, tough-looking fish is swimming in slow circles by the pond's edge. Walter continues to speak with the video on the Basculin.] I'd like to sell this creature - to whom, I care not, I'd part with it for a lark to have it away from here. [...He sounds like he's really trying to sound casual about this.] Its abilities are..."Tackle", "Water Gun", and "Uproar". They call it a Basculin. I've not battled with it once, so I...I think it's not loyal to me at all...?

[He flips the Gear back around, shrugging.] I don't recall anything else important about it. 'Tis just a fish...thing. ["Fish thing" indeed. Walter leans back a little and opens his mouth like he's going to say something more, but-

-he is very suddenly interrupted by a hellish metal-on-metal noise, like an iron bar shoved against a table saw. He jumps and bites out a "What in the-!", setting the Gear down, and falls into stunned silence as the sound tapers off. After a second of silence, his Rattata appears over the Gear, then vanishes behind it, propping it up with a snicker. Walter is halfway to his feet, gaping dumbfounded at the Skarmory that had been jogging around in the background before. She's standing at the center of a small pile of what look like steel shavings, looking oddly slender for a Skarmory, wiggling her tail and beaming up at her trainer as though to say look what I did!]

...What the...devil did you....

[With a patter of her feet and a cheery VROOM VROOM sound (or...as close as a Skarmory can get to that), she takes off like an ostrich, leaving Walter staring speechless after her. (She feels so light and free...!)The Rattata at the Gear is cackling heartily as his trainer glances between Gertrude's retreating figure and the results of her Autotomize technique with his confusion only growing.

....]

...Oh, damn you and your birds-! HOY, GERTRUDE! [Hell if he knows what it just did, but TIME TO GO RETRIEVE THE STUPID THING. He quickly goes to snatch up the Pokegear, and the first half-second of him quarreling with the cameramon is recorded before he grabs it and switches it off.]

((ooc: so autotomize is a hilarious move in concept))

[oh hey
ramza was probably just off-camera during that broadcast.]
'Tis fast... Hildegard, can you follow it?
[Don't mind the Noctowl rolling her eyes. It's not doing anything wrong - but she does spread her wings. Siiiiigh, children.]

[Thanks to that godawful metallic grating sounds, there's a bit of a grimace on John's face. He's fairly sure that was the worst sound he's ever heard n his life and he's absolutely positive that he never wants to hear it again.]

[Fingernails on a blackboard ain't got shit on this noise.]

The hell was that? I've never seen a Pokémon do anything like that before.

[That would be because you only have one steel-type, John.]

[Me?

Yes, yes, heading out to do so, and not at the moment.

The first one to respond to Walter's appearance is Fleshripper the friendly Croconaw, who sees what are obviously new friends and happily bounces over to give some love bites. The approaching three-foot-tall crocodile with lots of sharp teeth is obviously nothing to be concerned about, am I right?]

[Yeah, okay, Atsuro's torn between being baffled, wincing at that horrible noise or just laughing.]

So...you okay over there?

Did your Pokemon just...

[ There's no way to end this sentence without being offensive, so she'll just bite her tongue. ]

[Hagakure actually is training his Pokemon for once today. Which is unfortunate for him since he's really not prepared for trainer battles at all.

He has his Elgyem battling a random Pidgey while his Abra and Chingling watch from the sidelines on his shoulders. Hagakure gives words of encouragement as Grey the Elgyem defeats the Pidgey when he notices someone approaching from the corner of his eye. He glances in that direction to see some intimidating-looking guy making a beeline right for him.

Well. He doesn't like this already.

He glances in any direction he can that isn't in this kid's. If he doesn't pay any attention to the problem it'll just go away, right?

... Right?]

...Um, what just happened?
