003 | Violet City | Video / Action;

[Greetings, Johto! This video is coming to you from some secluded part of the streets of Violet City, courtesy of PhantomCam™, and features one Yagyuu Hiroshi sitting comfortably on a bench beneath the shade of a tree, engrossed in a book with his backpack resting securely at his feet. Perhaps most notably, he's not wearing his yellow-and-black Regulars jersey today, which is largely because it's currently piled next to him on the bench in something vaguely approximating a nest, with what can only be a Pokemon egg resting safely inside.

Yagyuu, for his part, is mostly oblivious to the fact that he's currently on candid cam, but the reason for it quickly becomes apparent—the egg in its nest is beginning to rock gently from side to side, making vaguely egg-like noises, and gradually beginning to glow.

(Fortunately, Phantom is wise enough to the workings of Pokemon hatchings that he's taken the initative to record this for posterity, regardless of whether or not his trainer is as quick on the uptake about it.)

Another few moments pass, and now at last Yagyuu takes notice, setting his book aside and turning his full attention to watch as the egg wobbles, brightens, cracks—]



Vee! Eevee!

[—and yields a bouncing newborn Eevee, still snug and secure in the jersey-nest, taking her first look at the world.

Book completely forgotten now, Yagyuu carefully extends a hand to his newest Pokemon, letting her inspect him a minute; after a few courtesy sniffs and nudges, the Eevee hops out of her nest and climbs up into Yagyuu's lap instead, settling in to ensure his full attention as she carefully inspects the human who's going to be her trainer. A minute later, Yagyuu's hands come to rest on her back, stroking through her fur as he conducts an appraisal of his own. This is, after all, his first attempt at breeding a Pokemon, and he's clearly intent on thoroughly examining just how well it turned out.]


Ah, aren't you a friendly one. Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, too.

[And as Yagyuu continues to fuss over his new Eevee, Phantom apparently decides that his work here is done, and switches the feed off.]

If only Jackal-kun were here, I'm sure he'd have no trouble in obliging. Unfortunately, she'll have to earn her own, just like the rest of us did. It's not something to be given, after all.

Mm, fair enough. Perhaps this is the beginnings of a pokemon division of the Rikkai tennis team.

Do you suppose we could strap rackets to their tails?

'50 Laps' would have to be added to their moveset arsenal.

And we'd have to invest in a double set of miniature power wrists, no doubt.

I wonder if they can gain levels from winning tennis matches.

Now that might be worth an experiment.

If it all works out, you can start up your own pokemon tennis training business.

It's a pity I'm not Yanagi-kun. I'm far more experienced with following training menus than creating them.

Though when it comes to being a follower, one naturally picks up how certain things work, don't they?

One can pick up most anything with enough practice, Fuji-kun.

Shall I expect the emergence of a training menu for your new recruit, then?

Are you so interested in the methods I use to train my team?

Mm, not really. But it makes for a nice conversation filler, doesn't it?

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
There is that, yes. And considering you have a long flight ahead of you, I suppose it's the least I can do to oblige you with conversation for the duration.

[there's a fond smile, there, and though it's here and now, it feels as though it's directed at someone else entirely.] I hope you won't mind that I'll be borrowing a bit of your conversation to kill the time.

[It's fairly difficult to miss the rather unique backdrop behind Fuji. Particularly when Yagyuu's already spoken with Yuuta, himself.]

That depends, Fuji-kun. Are you planning to give it back after you're finished with it?

[he figures that his whereabouts must be fairly simple to gauge. what surprises him is that he had given Yagyuu the chance to end the conversation right there and then, and the other didn't take it. obliging, huh. it seems that he takes the role of the 'gentleman' far more seriously than he had expected.]

Would you like for me to wipe off time's grisly remains before I do?

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd be the courteous thing to do, returning something borrowed in the same condition as it was when it was lent.

Oh, but must it be the same? It might be a little boring, getting it back in the same state that it was before.

Maybe the difference gives it meaning.

In other words, you'd like to leave your mark on it, Fuji-kun? I suppose I wouldn't mind that.
