Dream 004 [VIDEO/ACTION IN VIOLET CITY]

[tarotcards]

[Hello people of the network! Thank you for tuning in today! Today, we are taking a look around Violet City. The sun is out and shining, and it seems like the cloud front is moving along. We have a light breeze coming in from the West, so hold onto your hats and skirts, ladies and gentlemen. The temperature is very mild, and the trees are turning into a nice shade of orange, red, and yellow. Fall is here, folks, and get ready for-- Oh wait, this isn't the weather channel and that bowl-cut teenager isn't a weather man? Just what the hell was all waving around with the camera then? 

Oh, you mean he was having some technical difficulties? Well, why didn't you say so!

But hello people of the network! Here is what you're really here for! The camera finally stops shaking and flying everywhere as it is now sitting on some ledge of the Pokemon Center's window outside. It seems as if the owner of this Pokegear is no other than Souji himself and you can now get a clear shot of him and...a Magikarp? Yup, that's a Magikarp already, sitting right in his hands. It's just flailing around and occasionally going "Magi, Magikaaaarp", slapping him in the face with its tail now and then.  Oh God, you guys know where this is going. All that flailing and slapping that it's doing doesn't look too good....]

I found one of these a while back actually in Cherry-- [slap] --grove. Never really found the chance to set from its ball until a few days ago.

[And guess who found out it was actually literally one of the most useless Pokemon ever? Sorry Yosuke, Souji got you beat in the most useless Pokemon battle.]

People said that-- [slap] --they don't do anything, but if you raise them hard enough, they'll turn out to be good part-- [slap] --ners.

[That or raging snakes that like eating little children in their sleep, but heeee'll ignore that for now. The main reason why he caught one of these was because he wanted to try his best to grab the potential out of it and make it feel useful. That and a challenge was good now and then. But...]

...It hasn't really done anything in battle, other than just splashing-- [slap] --...around... I really-- [slap] --...didn't think it'll be this bad.

[All that splashing around makes battling juuuuuust a bit hard. Man, when he heard it was useless, he just kinda thought "oh, it's useless cause it's hard to train and weak" and not "it's useless because it does nothing." Seriously, just look at it right now. It's just flailing around. Oh God, why is this is the most derpy Pokemon ever? Was Johto just trying trying to toy with him? First the berries, that glitch Pokemon, and now this Magikarp...Yeah, Johto was definitely trying to toy with him.]

Is there any way to..train it? Other than letting it eat all my food and stare at me. The most it does is jumps around like-- [slap] --...this. That and it keeps-- [slap] --...hitting me instead of anything else. I'll appreciate any advice for-- [slap] --...it.

[Is Souji getting a bit annoyed? Yes, yes he is. His cheeks are starting to get red from all that slapping it's doing. He actually seems a bit more embarrassed by the Pokemon more than anything though. He never had to deal with something this derpy and everything before. Network, you gotta help him out here. He walks over to the ledge to reach for his gear.]

Than-- Wait, ah--!

[OH FFFFFFFFFFF NO GET BACK HERE SEIRYUU NO DON'T DO THA-- Please hold as Souji's Magikarp has just flailed out of his hands and knocked the Pokegear off the ledge onto the floor. You can have a nice view of the dirt floor for a few seconds as the Magikarp just splashing around then on top of the Pokegear before the screen goes black. And all you hear is just that "Magi, Magi, Magikaaaaaaarp" and-- if you listen really carefully over that --Souji's quiet "A;LSKDFJASDFFSASDL;FFFFFFFFFFFFF" before the feed shuts down. SEIRYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU]

S-Senpai?!

[ she... does not even know where to begin. Retrieving that giant flailing fish is probably a good start, though. ]

[action]

[tarotcards]

[Yeah, that's a good idea. Just wait as he tries that right now. It's harder than it seems, but he gets it after many "MAGIKAAAAAAAAARP" and silent "fffffffffffffffffffffffffff" and all that. He's...just holding it though...]

Hey, Rise.... [Talk about embarrassment.]

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ after walking in on that "practice group date", this isn't too bad. At the very least, Rise isn't backpedaling and fleeing down the hallway this time. IN FACT, she's even heading closer. ]

... Wow, this brings back memories. Are you okay?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Are you okay, Souji?

[video]

[tarotcards]

[Souji doesn't get back to Ven until after a good few minutes. Most likely from trying to get that fish under control, and by under control, he means to the side where it can happily splash around all it wants-- away from the gear. He wipes the lens of dirt for a second.]

Yeah, thanks for asking, Ven. Sorry you had to see that.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's not your fault. Seems like your Magikarp's a bit of a handful.

[video]

[usednastyplot.livejournal.com]

The best way to train these creature, I've heard, is to send them out for the first part of the battle then switch it for a stronger Pokémon.

[video]

[tarotcards]

[A few minutes later and after making that Magikarp stay to the side and flail all it wants against the Pokemon Center's walls, Souji replies.]

In the middle of battle? Huh, does that work? [Cause how can they both get experience? Doesn't the thing that ends the battle gets it?]

[video]

[usednastyplot.livejournal.com]

All those who participate in battle gain experience from that battle. The experience 'points' are split evenly between all those who competed, no matter how large their contribution.

[So there's this girl who's just... staring at the Magikarp. For some reason, she's frozen and looks utterly flabbergasted.]

[action]

[tarotcards]

[It's...a very Benny Hill scene, I'm just saying...It's pretty bad...Well, Souji does manage to get a hold of it, saving his Pokegear as well. It's still flailing around in his hands, but at least he got it and-- OH FFFFFFFFFFF SOMEONE WAS STARING SEIRYUU YOU ARE EMBARRASSING ME]

...Sorry you had to see that.

[action]

[wakalaka4osaka.livejournal.com]

[Osaka takes no notice of Souji's apology. She keeps staring. And then:]

... that's such a cool Pokemon.

[Video]

[composedjustly.livejournal.com]

Having some trouble?

[Don't mind him, he's just amused. And walking along the route that leads to Cherrygrove.]

[video]

[tarotcards]

[Souji gets back to Joshua after a few minutes, shoving that Magikarp off his Pokegear and making it flail against the wall of the Pokemon Center all it wants.]

Yeah, just a bit... I didn't think they'll be this much of a hassle.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... It takes a person of powerful dedication, dignity, and maturity not to laugh at the sight of this poor hapless teen getting repeatedly slapped by a fish and trying to talk like nothing is happening.]

[That person is not Heather.]

[But... to her credit... she tried.]</sub>

...Snnrghghhkkkk.

[video]

[tarotcards]

[YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON VERY TERRIBLE But Souji doesn't blame her for laughing. Oh God, his cheeks hurts so much. Here's a reply a couple of minutes after his feed ended. He just kinda shoved the Magikarp to the side to flail by itself.]

...

[And he just kinda stands there. Oh man, how humiliating.]

[action] late tag is laaaate fhsdlfh =w=

[miniworth]

[Edgeworth was just coming back from a walk with his Growlithe when he spots Souji and the Magikarp - and the falling Pokégear. Is this what happens every day if you're just wandering around the city in this world? Seriously wth is that floppy red fish? He felt kind of bad for the guy that had to... take care of it.]

Are you all right, sir?

[action] no tags are ever late~ <3

[tarotcards]

[Souji quickly grabs onto the Magikarp before it does any more damage. Oh man, he hopes his Pokegear is alright. He doesn't need it to be breaking on him-- FFFFFFFF WHERE DID THAT KID COME FROM?]

... Yeah, I'm fine now. Sorry you had to see that...

[action] Eee <3 I NEED TO PLAY THESE GAMES. My friends are all Persona fags and I'm like "derp"

[miniworth]

[Pess the Growlithe is eying the Magikarp with curiosity, and she trots over to sniff at it. Edgeworth meanwhile just... watches.]

As long as you're all right... is that a Pokémon as well?

. . .


Nice fish, Sensei!

[action]

[tarotcards]

[Here, give sensei a minute as he tries to save his Pokegear and grab a hold of it. Ah--! He got it! And...fffffff, Teddie...Nice...]

Thanks. . . It's not all that useful though.

[action]

[usedrawr.livejournal.com]

[lookin' over at the fish... flopping. away.]

But, Sensei... Look at that athleticism! That spirit! That... splash attack!

s-so late ;~; 1/2

[usedjunes.livejournal.com]

[WHOA INCOMING FISH-]

oh and ACTION

[usedjunes.livejournal.com]

[Nanako stands her ground and reaches out with both arms to wrap around Magikarp's middle. You ain't goin' nowhere, fish. B|]

[action] w-well, HERE'S MY LATE TAG BACK S-SOB

[tarotcards]

[Whoa, awesome, Nanako! No wonder you're his lil sis!]

Nice catch, Nanako. Sorry you have to do this.
