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.]

... that one's not shy at all.

[Again, this video comes only after Yagyuu has attempted to dispose of the Ditto outside. Attempted, that is, because little does he know, the culprit is currently sneaking back into the house as he speaks, making its way back towards its favorite person of the day.]

It's certainly not a word I'd use to describe it, no.

[Yagyuu, your life is suffering.]

What did you do with it?

[It is pain both exquisite and perpetual.]

I put it outside. If it's wild, it can be on its way; if it belongs to someone, they can retrieve it just as easily from out there as in here.

All's well that ends well. Did you catch the culprit?

video.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Not as yet. Still, I'm sure it won't be long before he makes himself known.

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

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.

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.

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

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I beg your pardon? Fighting over romance?

video.

[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.

video.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
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.

Doesn't really make for a good night's sleep, though. I'm just glad none of mine do that.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that would depend on the size of the admirer, wouldn't it?

There was this girl who had that giant rock snake.

[...Thinking. Thinking. Thinking.]

That wouldn't happen to be Kujikawa Rise, would it?

[identity profile] regives.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Her snake's pretty famous, huh.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-02 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I imagine I just saw the same broadcast you did.

video.

[identity profile] regives.livejournal.com 2011-08-04 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Right-- I keep forgetting that everyone can see those.

video.

[identity profile] regives.livejournal.com 2011-08-04 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
But it's a fair point. If a snake like that started getting territorial, you won't have many bones left intact by the end of it.
