004 | Goldenrod City | Video / Action;

[Well, Johto, in a slight change of pace, this video is not coming to you today courtesy of PhantomCam™; in truth, it's actually sort of more like Lady's-Paw-Landed-On-The-Record-ButtonCam™, and the accidental nature of the recording shows. The vast majority of the shot shows a tilted, haphazard view of a bedroom (a very neat bedroom, an observant viewer might note), and only a small sliver actually manages to catch Yagyuu, who appears to have set his backpack down on the bed and is methodically extracting the contents.

(Every so often, this view ends up marred by what seems to be a tuft of tawny brown fur, or the occasional pink tail feather.)

Yagyuu, however, seems reasonably oblivious to being recorded, his attention fixed on the series of items he's removing from his backpack, one by one: a notebook and pen, a novel with a slightly dog-eared cover, a roll of grip tape, a tennis racket that he places aside with the utmost of care. With an Eevee and what eventually reveals itself as a Pidgeotto bustling around on the bed, he's clearly not taking any chances that it might get damaged.

This patient, deliberate ritual of unpacking goes on in silence for a minute or two, Yagyuu still apparently ignorant to the fact that he's on candid camera, when at last something shifts: he reaches into the bag and his expression abruptly turns to one of surprise and mild disgust. And when he yanks his hand back out of it, a sticky mass of purple goop (which is now partially encasing his hand) comes with it.

Eyes narrowed, he gives his hand a rather adamant shake, but the goo doesn't dislodge; on the contrary, it spreads a little wider and smiles at him.

A harder shake. It remains unfazed.

And then at last, with a long-suffering sigh, Yagyuu turns away from the camera and stalks out of sight, footsteps firm against the carpet as he apparently makes his way toward the room's door.]


Niou-kun...

[The door closes (it's not quite a slam, but it is perhaps a little more firm than was really necessary) and the Pokemon on the bed begin to shuffle around, and somewhere in the commotion another paw hits the Gear and the feed ends.]

Anything is worth a try, I suppose.

[He'll get Lady to headbutt the thing. Surely that'll suffice as "battle" enough.]

Go for it, Yagyuu-kun!

[ fistpump and all. ]

[Again, he puts down the Gear, but the feed is still technically on, so a few bits of sound do manage to drift back to the microphone--

A trill.
A squeak.
"Lady, oblige me, won't you."
A growl.
A touch of frantic squeaking--
--and the faint ding of a successful capture.

And shortly thereafter, Yagyuu is back, both hands free of purple, though the one is a bit red with what might be the faint remains of bite marks.]


Well, that settles that, I suppose.

[if you've never seen Fuji hiss, you've just been enlightened. the idea of a hose down his pants is arguably almost as bad as a ditto down his pants, which is perhaps saying something about his priorities.]

Doesn't that sound like a fine idea. Yagyuu, need I remind you that your new friend is down my pants.

It's a dangerous prank, though. I heard that those things would breed with just about anything.

[No, he really needn't remind Yagyuu, as it's not like he's going to forget that little fact anytime soon. But it's the situation that brings a slight edge of irritability to his tone, because Fuji seems adamant about forcing this toward a false dilemma, and surely reaching into his pants is not the only answer here.]

Need I remind you that it was your idea in the first place. And is it really necessary to prolong the suffering on everyone's part instead of one of us simply stepping out so it can be dealt with?

I wouldn't doubt it; one of my current roster has a Ditto as a father, even. On the other hand, I suspect most of them wouldn't take kindly to amorous attentions at the moment, so I don't think there's any great cause for concern.

[ she's sorry she didn't get to witness it in all its supposed glory, really. ]

I don't think I've ever congratulated someone for catching a Pokémon they didn't want, but... congrats?

If you're sure. On the other hand, I heard that the tamer ones are good for breeders, because it makes doing their job easier.

Kind of like a double-edged sword, if you think about it.

I have an Absol who tends to be somewhat...possessive of the others in my roster. I doubt any romantic overtures will be met kindly, regardless of who they're directed toward.

Given the choice, though, I'd far prefer the obedient one.

[Lady does not like other Pokemon appearing to love her trainer more than she does. And some disputes are simply easiest settled with one's teeth.]

Congratulations for finally freeing myself of its antics, perhaps. I'd certainly accept those.

[ without skipping a beat ] Congrats for that, too!

So they are territorial. We were just trying to figure this out, actually-- maybe the pokemon were fighting over romance?

In that case, I appreciate it, Kujikawa-san. Thank you.

I beg your pardon? Fighting over romance?

[identity profile] regives.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Sort... of. It was kind of a bad... romance.

...I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm not following you.

I mean, from what someone explained, these two female pokemon were fighting over their trainer.

Don't mention it! Who knows, it might even come in handy one day.

Oh, I see. Yes, it seems that's not uncommon in certain Pokemon; some do have a tendency to impress on their trainers considerably more than others.

I hope that wasn't intended as a pun, Kujikawa-san, because if so, it wasn't a very good one.

I leave the bad ones to Teddie, Yagyuu-kun.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Teddie?

[identity profile] regives.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't really make for a good night's sleep, though. I'm just glad none of mine do that.

I suppose that would depend on the size of the admirer, wouldn't it?
