2 ♫ video/action for route 34

[bellyshirt]

[The feed opens to...an Abra. A sleeping Abra. Pretty normal Abra, actually. The camera follows the rise and fall of its little chest with an assiduity that almost seems alarming.]

I am gonna get this little sucker.

[That stage whisper would be Luke, who pointedly sets the camera down, presumably so that Johto can see how awesome his capture of his Abra will be. Somewhere close by, Zorua makes a long-suffering sound.

--and there Luke rushes forward, going in for the grab, only for the Abra to make its escape and leave him faceplanting against the ground.]

[A moment of silence, please. Zorua giggles.]

[Luke glowers at his pokemon, red-faced and expression flinty.]

This stupid thing's been running from me all morning! Why won't it stay in one place like a normal pokemon?! Zack, what do I do?!

[Someone might wanna mention that...there's more than one Abra.]

What are you laughing at?

[LUKE FON FABRE: a douche to kids, too.]

[ video ]

[uuing]

Uu-, Maria thinks it looks like it's having fun!

[ the douchiness doesn't even ruin her fun, really. ]

So Maria's having fun watching it as well!

[ video ]

[bellyshirt]

Well, I'm not having fun!

[ video ]

[uuing]

... Why aren't you, uu-? [ now she pouts - just a little, though. ] If that kid's having fun, then why won't you have fun with it? It just wants to play a game!

[ video ]

[bellyshirt]

--that's not a kid! That's a pokemon!

[ video ]

[uuing]

Why can't Pokémon be kids too, uu-?! Saying that is rude!

[ video ]

[bellyshirt]

Because it's just an animal!

[ video ]

[uuing]

Animals get kids too, right? Uu-, don't you even know that much?

[ video ]

[bellyshirt]

No, they get...puppies and kittens and stuff!

[WHY IS HE BEING TOLD OFF BY A LITTLE GIRL. GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL.]

[ video ]

[uuing]

[ LITTLE GIRL IS REMAINING HERE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! ]

But those are kids too! They're dog kids and cat kids, uu-..!

[ video ]

[bellyshirt]

Ugh, whatever--point is, I'm pretty sure it's a grown-up pokemon, and it's making fun of me, not playing!

[ video ]

[uuing]

Even if it's a grown-up, then why wouldn't it be playing? Maria's sure that it's playing around from what it looks like, just look how it's having fun!

Aren't you the one misunderstanding, uu-..?

[ video ]

[bellyshirt]

Yeah, it's having fun at my expense.

[HUFF.]

[ video ]

[uuing]

But if you'd start laughing too, then the two of you could have fun together..! Don't you think that's much better?

[ video ]

[bellyshirt]

Why would I laugh at myself?!

[The million-dollar question, ladies and gents.]

[ video ]

[uuing]

So you can have fun and be happy?

[ this is clearly logical, okay, Luke.

don't even question it. ]

[ video ]

[bellyshirt]

I have fun and I'm happy when I'm not getting made fun of! Why is that so hard to get?

[ video ]

[uuing]

But you're not having fun right now, uu-..! That's what Maria is talking about!

You should try to have fun even now!
