♪3 | Action / Video | Goldenrod / Route 34 / Rocket HQ

A. [Action] for Goldenrod Department Store; Morning

[Ren has been shopping as he's feeling much better than he has for weeks. He has some stuff he's already bought and now he's getting the last things he wants. So you can meet Ren at the music department of the store, looking at the saxophones and other musical things.]

B. [Video/Action] for Route 34; afternoon

[Ren is not too happy. Morning went fine as he finally got to do some shopping, but now he's been dragged to train his Pokémon (by his own Pokémon) and it's no longer a nice day. Mostly because Ren doesn't particulary care for training as it's bothersome... but also because he obviously has issues with his Pokémon. It's the rocketchip that makes his starter really enthusiastic on getting stronger (for the team) and Ren is not very suited for training such a Pokémon as he's not the most outgoing person. It doesn't help that Zebstrikas are naturally violent.

The problems are why Ren's making a video feed today.]

What do you do when your Pokémon is crazy? [He pauses.] I'd keep it inside its ball, but it somehow always gets out... and that always happens when I try to make it go to my PC box, too.

[Really bothersome, really. Why did some Pokémon escape so well from their balls if they were meant to be for keeping them in control.]

This isn't what makes it crazy though. It seems obsessed with training and keeps thinking that it's in charge of things around here. [He looks away from the camera.] Even now it's almost training by itself...

[Ren will now move the camera so that it shows a Zebstrika, fighting a Snubbull in the grass. Well, for a second at least. Then the Zebstrika turns its attention to Ren... and makes a sound of disapproval.]

Did I already mention that it's also pretty violent?

[... Which might become clear as the zebra comes to Ren and knocks him harshly before Ren has time to really react. Its obviously not really happy about its trainers slacking off again.] Ugh... Fine, fine. We'll continue.

[And it's the end of the feed. Which one here was the Pokémon and which one was the trainer?]

C. [Action] for Team Rocket HQ; evening

[Some time later, there's one slightly injured Rocket in the base. Looks like this time the training didn't go pretty well, huh?]

Mister Pokemon... may we have a word?

[She's trying to help. honest.]

You... want to speak with the Zebstrika?

Yes, if I may... I have a special talent when it comes to animals and Pokemon... I can speak and understand them.

I don't have a problem with that... Hey-

[He turns the gear around. The Zebstrika has stopped and looks at the gear a displeased look. Why are you interrupting training?]

Surely you two must be able to reach some sort of middle ground.

[Oh, long time no see... well, technically the first time, as last time was an audio conversation.]

If I train him daily he behaves... it's when I don't when problems arise.

[ It's nice to have a face to go with the voice now, at least. ] Do you not enjoy training?

Edited 2012-08-11 02:14 (UTC)

Not as much as the Pokémon hopes, no. It's fine to a point, but then it just gets annoying and repetitive, especially since I can't move cities because of my job.

You need to take a STRONGER hand with it. Hoofbeasts are proud, noble creatures. They will not submit to one who cannot hope to best it in combat, at the least.

[Says the one who got smacked down by his own starter on his first day in New Bark.]

[Ren doesn't look too impressed.]

I'd like to see you try against a lightning zebra, who's almost as tall as you. [Though he has a point about the not hoping to be best.] Though I guess it would be better if I'd at least try to be "the best"...

I have not had the opportunity to test myself against such a hoofbeast, no. Though were I to make an attempt, I would not likely transmit such efforts across this network.

[He would totally try, if the situations were reversed. Fortunately, all HIS Pokemon already ~~tolerate his presence, barely~~ respect his authority.]

I believe they would at least respect the effort, yes. Striving to be STRONG is admirable, if not quite as much as having already attained it.

It wasn't my intention to broadcast the end of the feed. I only wanted to ask questions.

[Then the Zebstrika had different things in mind.]

I see. I will certainly keep that in mind.

[As always, Gorthan is at base. He has also seen Ren's video on the network, meaning he already knows that he's injured. Which is why he is already carrying a first-aid kit when he approaches Ren.]

You should learn when to return your Pokémon. You cannot expect these creatures to have as much self-control as you do.

Where are you hurt? Show me.

[Ren will slightly laugh at the comment.]

I didn't react fast enough, that's all... but I will learn from my mistakes, thankfully. [And paid the price for doing mistakes, too, obviously.]

I'm just a little hurt on the rib... it will pass after some rest.

Edited 2012-08-12 05:12 (UTC)

Are you always this hard on yourself? I don't think there's any way you could have avoided that.

Let me have a look at it.

[He needs to understand whether there's any treatment he can administer, or if it's better to just leave the injury as it is and let it heal itself.]

Edited 2012-08-12 22:43 (UTC)

Well, if I hadn't been talking on the gear that much, I might have had a chance. [He shrugs.] Not that it matters now.

And sure, if you want to...

[He'll make it so Gorthan can look at it. Though it hurts a bit, moving.]

[[Kato is actually out of the lab, today, taking a walk through the base with his Lunatone. He's not really paying attention to anything in particular, but the sight of the obviously injured Grunt amuses him. He saw the feed from earlier, and it was an exercise in hilarity. Have a smirk.]]

Make sure your trainer uses a Super Potion on you, won't you?

[[Then he goes to walk off, like the horribly smug bastard he is. Have fun, Ren!]]

[Oh, great. Just what he needed to brighten his day. Thank you very much. Though he'll go with it, because he figured out something to say.]

I'd be more worried about my trainer giving me a haircut like yours. Did it boost your happiness at all?

[Or whatever the haircut brothers did.]

[[That actually makes Kato pause, raising an amused eyebrow as he turns.]]

Well well; are you always this charming, or am I just lucky?

[[But really, you've amused him. He wasn't expecting a reply, especially not one that actually made him have to think.]]

[ Miki's only just recently arrived in Goldenrod City and while normally she would wander off towards the clothing department, she's really hoping to run into a friend at the department store. So where might idols like herself wander to?

At least it makes some sense to her, but she's not really interested in the instruments. So she'll be slumping down against one of the items he might be looking at lazily. ]

How boring... [ Muu~ ] Miki was hoping to see--huh?

[ Oh no, she just slouched in front of someone lazily. Someone of the opposite gender even! ]

Hello. [ With a lazy wave. ] Were you looking at this?

[Well, Ren wouldn't have said anything even if Miki had just stayed in the way. He wouldn't have minded, after all. Of course, looking for a saxophone was a priority, but it didn't mean he needed to chase away pretty ladies.

So he'll smile at her.]

Yes, I was. But now I'm looking at something even more beautiful than that.

Really? [ Not that Miki has to verify that it's her, but it's always nice to hear the extra compliment. ] Miki didn't mean to get in the way and to distract you.

[+ One (1) gothiclolita in the music department... It's a good thing that no one can see her face at the moment (it's hidden behind her pigtails), because she's giving a sad look to the violins. They are important, okay? Fucking important, actually, in a ~~not so~~ weird way. Maybe you'll even see her extending her hand to reach it... But then she also pulls that hand away slowly after a little touch and sighs quietly.]

[Ren notices a familiar looking girl when he moves to look at other instruments. She seems a lot different in this situation than the first time they met.

He looks over the violins. Honestly, the only thing he remembers while seeing them is how Syo and Natsuki act around each other. Violinists they may be, but not too graceful.

Though he figures that violins have to mean a lot to the girl if she's acting like that.]

They're quite beautiful, aren't they?

[Utau almost jumps as she hears his voice. GEEZ, WHAT NOW?! Can't a girl just... Right okay, public place and she's acting like an idiot.

The girl collects herself before looking at Ren with her usual glare. Though the words make her look at the instrument again. Maybe her hair is ~~not~~ enough on her face to hide a little blush on her cheeks.]

Not really, but the people who play them and the music they make with them might be...
