DREAM 017 [VIDEO/ACTION ON ROUTE 44]

[tarotcards]

[ The video feed clicks on and the first thing that the camera shows is the dirt ground beyond a ridiculously cracked screen. It stays that way and the audio is muffled, probably because of a hand being placed over the mic by accident (or has it been done on purpose?). It's difficult to tell, but it seems as if this is being recorded in the middle of a battle. What else can all of those shouts, shrieks, sound of attacks be?

It continues on for a few more minutes, just nothing but a view of the floor, occasionally moving about to a different patch and perhaps a gust of dirt flying over. However, the screen finally lifts up towards a small field of grass a few feet away in which a Skarmory is standing in an offensive position. Just not too far from it is what most people might recognize by now: a Shedninja. However, before it can do anything such as stealing souls or be captured inside a specially made Pokeball, it flees and quickly disappears.

The Skarmory loosens up and stares at the holder of the Pokegear, confused. The camera turns once again towards this person and Souji also holds the look of confusion, just showing it less and looking more tired.

He pushes up his glasses- the ones that does nothing at all in this world and situation though always seem to calm him down when placed on -and looks only at the ground or gear. He has been trying his best into not looking around carelessly and possibly into the back of a soul-sucking bug. Throughout that whole battle just now, he has been focusing mostly on the ground to prevent anything while occasionally looking up in which he has noticed something that's... well this: ]

Hey, is it just me or are the Shedinjas not stealing the souls of Pokemon? My Skarmory seems completely fine despite accidentally looking into its back more than once.

[ Which is odd due to the Pokedex saying it'll steal whoever looks into its back or are just Skarmories immune to soul-sucking? Well, his question is asked and he's in a bit of a rush here, so the feed turns off! ]

How are you holding up? Think I can ask for a favour?

(( ooc: tags will come in the morning and Shedninjas won't steal a Pokemon's soul is what mods have said right over here! ))

Um! I don't know, but I don't think one person's had a pokemon collapse as far as I can tell from the network!

[video]

[tarotcards]

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. You have to wonder why.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

You're not running into any trouble there, are you?

And I'm wondering if you can send me over some Pokemon from Goldenrod's PC to Mahogany's.

[When she answers the video, Dash has a Castform on her head and a pair of aviator goggles over her eyes. Also, it seems to be... hailing behind her. She looks a little out of breath.]

... Huh. Y'know, now that you mention it, I think you're right! [She cracks a grin.] Maybe we should start holding Dittos in front of our eyes or something! Heh...

[Video]

[tarotcards]

[ A small smile. ]

I'll keep the idea in mind. [ And... noticing that hail... ] Where are you right now?

[Video]

[used-defog.livejournal.com]

Uuuuuh, Azalea! Why? [Dash, it is hailing behind you. That is not normal.]

[dragonspeak]

We're in Ecruteak now. [He rubs at his eyes tiredly.] What about you?

[tarotcards]

[ Pushes up his glasses. ] Route 44, on the road to Mahogany. Should be there soon if I keep up the pace.

...

I really hope that doesn't mean that Pokemon don't have souls...

[Video]

[tarotcards]

... I think they're more interested in human souls than Pokemon.

Hey! You're out of that ice cave now?



That's weird. My Pokémon haven't been affected, either. Maybe Pokémon don't have souls, or since Shedinja are Pokémon, they won't steal other Pokemon's souls out of some weird courtesy or something. Maybe only human souls are good enough.

[ He gives a nod. ]

Yeah, got out just a few hours ago and it can be either of those reasons. The Pokedex doesn't say anything but just sucking souls in general.

[on one hand, teddie's trying to stay strong for souji! on the other hand... everyone's collapsing again and this is hard to deal with.]

[tarotcards]

How are you holding up so far, Teddie?

[ video ]

[usedswitcheroo.livejournal.com]

That's how it's been lately... When the coast is clear, my Pokemon usually tells me so it's safe to look around.

[ video ]

[tarotcards]

Any idea as to why?

[ ah, a Pokemon talking to him over the gear. Souji doesn't understand so he just... puts his Skarmory on. ]

They don't steal a Pokemon's soul, do they?

[video]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

[ blah blah people getting souls sucked out blah grey hair bl- wait... ]

Souji? Where the hell have you been? Everyone was totally worried about you!

[video]

[tarotcards]

[ Oh hey, long-time-no-tsun. Souji is just going to push up his glasses. ]

Ice Path, just got out this morning.
