007 | Outskirts of Goldenrod City | Video / Action;

[It's late afternoon on the outskirts of Goldenrod City, where Yagyuu has evidently been out training his team; it's a somewhat unusual sight to see them all out of their Pokeballs at once, but at the moment the full roster has been released to roam around the open expanse of field chosen for today's practice grounds.

Or at least, most of the full roster is: there's an Absol staked out relatively near his trainer, seemingly on high alert as he surveys the other Pokemon in his midst. Farther back from the camera, a Rapidash is roaming with a stately air as a very small Vulpix trots along beside him, bounding four steps for every one of his own. And even Yagyuu's Ditto seems to be present— if the occasional glimpse of purple molecular goo seeping over the edges of the camera lens is any indication.

Yagyuu himself is visible, too; he's crouching down to administer his Eevee's usual meticulous grooming— an activity she clearly seems to enjoy, given the way her tail is flicking with pleasure at the attention— and speaking quietly to her while he's at it.]


Now that Vampa's evolved, that only leaves you to go, doesn't it?

[And she coos, pushing her head against his hand insistently.]

You're certainly growing strong enough for it. And the necessary stones aren't particularly difficult to come by, either; a quick trip to the department store will easily take care of that. So it's just a matter of deciding which type suits you best, isn't it?

[He glances over, surveying his team as they roam and remarking almost absently:]

An electric type, perhaps, might—

[But he never gets the chance to finish the sentence, as the Eevee lets out one last emphatic trill before taking one step back and beginning to glow with bright, almost blinding light—

— and when it clears, there's an Espeon in her place, just as perfectly well-groomed and somehow managing to look twice as haughty for it.

Yagyuu, for his part, just stares for a few seconds before shaking his head in what is probably half amusement and half disbelief.]


...Ah.

[And he keeps staring, up until a Pidgeot comes flapping down from overhead a few minutes later, drawing his attention up and away from the Espeon and toward this latest arrival.]

Irene, another excellent job, but I see we'll have to work at perfecting your aim—

[And on that fairly cryptic note, purple goo oozes completely over the lens, and the Gear switches off.]

Well, in my dream, Lady was an Espeon, I think? So yes!

Well, I'm certainly impressed. And what have you foreseen she'll do next?

I didn't dream that far... well, except that getting lost in Goldenrod City part. I think I already told you about that, though.

( video )

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
You did, yes.

So I hope you're not about to suggest we go out and get lost once we're both back in the city.

No, 'course not.

... I am gonna suggest that it will probably eventually happen whether we plan it or not, though!

So I should make sure to have a compass with me at all times, when you're in the vicinity?

...Really, that wouldn't be a bad idea even without the prophecy.

[identity profile] attrites.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Probably. A map might be a good idea, too.

And a few cans of Repel, just in case.

Better safe than sorry, right?

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's a good rule to live by.

Speaking of which, you haven't gone through the supply in your backpack yet, have you?

Don't worry, I restocked in Ecruteak as soon as I got here! [ he'll have to be reminded to do it again before he leaves, though... ]

Do let me know if you could use a few more. Irene could use the practice at finding you, anyway.

( video )

[identity profile] attrites.livejournal.com 2011-09-11 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
I will, then! Has she gotten very good at it yet? Are her landings smooth?

( video )

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-11 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, she's demonstrated remarkably precise aim recently. I have no doubt she'll be able to make any deliveries to you with pinpoint accuracy. It's mostly just a matter of finding you in the grander sense.

( video )

[identity profile] attrites.livejournal.com 2011-09-11 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
That shouldn't be a problem, right? I'll keep you guys updated on where I am and all that.

( video )

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-11 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
And so long as you do, I don't foresee any particular problems. Unless something should happen to your jersey, of course, but I doubt that'll be a concern.

And as long as nobody else around happens to be wearing yellow and black.

( video )

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I could always train her to sight onto one of your other notable characteristics, instead.

( video )

[identity profile] attrites.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

No, we'll just hope nobody else around likes wearing yellow and black a lot.

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure she'll do fine. That said, is there anything you'd like delivered from Goldenrod at the moment? I believe she has it in her to make one more errand still today.

( video )

[identity profile] attrites.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm good, thanks! What other stuff have you had her doing...? Just delivery?

( video )

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Deliveries and battle training, really. She hasn't yet learned how to carry a rider.

( video )

[identity profile] attrites.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't you need Fly to be able to do that, anyways?

( video )

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's precisely why she hasn't learned how yet.

Well, then you'd better win that badge as quickly as possible!
