Re: 002; video/action for Violet

[keychained]

[good evening, Johto! on your 'gears tonight is a kid with a thousand problems-- and his pokémon are at the moment every single one.]

-- Hey, guys? Quick question.

[Sora points the feed toward a cozy spot of trees near the exit to Violet City, and the entrance to Route 31. a giant boulder-sized Skarmory is contentedly perched amongst the trees, though when her gaze catches the 'gear, she gives it-- Sora, presumably-- a rather dirty look.]

I found Metal Chocobo! [judging by her hardened stare, she wasn't too thrilled with him up and disappearing on her, either. instead of pecking at him disapprovingly like one might expect, however, she's elected to just sit there. glaring.]

But... what do you do when one of your pokémon steals your other pokémon and refuses to give them back?

[upon closer inspection... yes, that would be a yellow paw on the ground directly beneath where Metal Chocobo is roosting. Roxas the Jolteon knows better than to attack without Sora's permission, so he is just... silently enduring being sat on like an egg.]

[heck, there's even an egg there, too. Sora didn't get a chance to read who it was from before Metal Chocobo swooped in with an metallic grinding squawk and snatched it right out of his hands, though.]

...Shouldn't they be listening to you since you're the trainer?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

One would think... I don't want Roxas-- [... boy, saying that in reference to a pokémon to Roxas is kind of weird.] -- to attack, because he'll really hurt her.

And the egg she's also sitting on.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

...I didn't mean in attacking her. I mean, if she's your pokemon, shouldn't she listen too you? Or is her level to high or something?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... No, I don't think it's that. I think she's upset with me.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Still, she should listen to you. Or at least, accept your apology or something.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

She will eventually! I've got faith in that much.

I can understand why she's mad, though.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Still...[Roxas has taken the traditional view that pokemon should obey their trainers.]

That's what you get for leaving.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You're... not still mad at me, are you Roxas?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

...No. I'm over it.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure.

[He...can't stay mad at you, Sora. But he can build up resentment that he doesn't know what to do with.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[that doesn't sound like it'll end well!]

Then... Metal Chocobo will forgive me soon enough, too.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she probably will.
