keychained | 007; [video/action for those in Cherrygrove]

[well, this all started out innocently enough. after Dapper evolved into a Kakuna following a spectacular Caterpie smashing last week, both Sora and bug have been very eager to see how he turns out as a Beedrill-- so the past five days have been pretty constant training, stoutness exercises included! and now, after having finally gained a few quick levels, tada!! Sora is the proud new trainer of a very large and feisty Beedrill! and Dapper couldn't be happier; now he's finally able to carry out his one big, life-long wish.]

Dapper! Get back here!

[unfortunately, that life-long wish is doorbell ditching. it's the Teddiursa who's turned on the pokégear this time-- the feed displays the larger half of Cherrygrove, and a Beedrill gleefully fluttering to the closest residence, smashing the doorbell repeatedly with his stinger, then shooting up in the air to hover just above the doorway. poor Sora is not far behind, pokéball in an outstretched hand and his expression quite kicked puppy when he's suddenly left to deal with the residents answering the door.]

Hey, kid! Didn't anybody ever tell you you're supposed to hide after ringing the doorbell?

[Sora just barely manages an apology before he has to chase after Dapper again-- the Beedrill is even going into the Pokémart and center, ringing the bells at the front desks, then zooming off for his next victim. those listening to the feed can hear the Teddiursa laughing, despite himself.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[he glances down at the pokégear to give Rise a wobbly smile, mentally trying to psyche himself up: gosh, Sora, stop crying, it's not that bad! getting checked by a Fat Bandit is ten times worse than a silly bee sting, right? what about taking a Defender's shield to the face? c'mon, this is nothing.]

Yeah-- Now we know to definitely not let you sting people, Dapper! Okay? ... Except for Vanitas. You can sting him.

That guy? Oh, yeah. Sting him allll you want.

Right! Aim for the eyes if you see him, okay Dapper?

[Dapper buzzes an affirmative-- there's nothing better than vigilante justice when it comes to Vanitas.]

You might have to get his helmet off first.

[Sora thinks back to the wicked taunting he got when he asked Vanitas about that helmet. even so, he's feeling a little better now that they've all trudged into the Pokécenter and he's waiting to be looked at.]

He will. And Dapper will be right there to get him in the eyes.

Good. Don't let that jerk get to you, okay?

[ ... like she can talk. ]

Promise me you won't either, okay Rise? It's all of us against just him.

Right, I promise. He'll regret it if he tries anything when we've got the big advantage.

Right! I mean, if you can take on landmarks, you can take on anybody!

He'd better consider himself lucky I'm off my feet right now!

He should! I bet he'd run away screaming if he saw either of us.

It's gotta be our deadly aura.

Definitely! I don't know about you, but I'm just radiating danger.

I try to keep mine a little more hidden, but I can definitely tell you're someone not to mess with.

You really think so?

[he's puffing up in pride so much at that, Rise has no idea.]

I guess I am pretty-- o-ow!

[yup, he's hardcore, all right, making the worst kind of kicked puppy face when someone starts putting medicine on that beedrill sting.]

Anyone who can take a Beedrill sting and not collapse is pretty strong in my book.

[ ... oh, Sora. ]

[he is going to smile through the pain if it kills him, gosh darnit.]

Heh... Wouldn't be a good trainer if I couldn't... ow! handle my own Pokémon's attacks, right?

... Right.

Are you okay, though?

Never better! This is nothing.

[whew, Sora is visibly relieved when the nurse steps away momentarily.]

What about you? When will you be back on your feet again?

The nurse said anywhere from 4-6 weeks. [ can you see how happy she is? ]

Seriously?

Well, I'll keep you company! And you can call me whenever you're bored.

Sora... thanks.

What're friends for, right? I just wish I could keep you company in person.

Who knows, maybe I'll start seeing more people around Azalea by then. I'll teach you a song in the meantime, though.

Right now, you mean? I'd love to hear you sing again.
