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.]

I don't know, it's a pink and blue dog...thing. It paralyzed my Zorua, though, so that's a plus.

[Uh...huh. Well, that second bit sounds promising.]

I believe that may be your key, Luke. Paralysis may prevent the opponent from moving.

[He has used it many a time with with his Budew. So helpful, Stun Spore.]

You just have to worry about your Pokemon being faster.

[A nod.]

Yeah. [Wait.] Your flower thing can paralyze too, right Dist?

[video]

[ortion]

Yes she can. [He smirks because he knows what's happening here.] Why do you ask?

[video]

[bellyshirt]

[A frustrated sigh.] Ugh, why didn't I think of that sooner?! I could've just asked you.

[video]

[ortion]

Oh, that's quite all right, Luke. [He motions to himself.] The window is still open. If you're still having difficulty, I am nearby.

[He just wants to successfully help and look cool doing so, of course.]

[What a bro, Dist.]

I'm okay with my new...dog-thing that I caught. [A beat, and Dist gets a bit of a smile.] Thanks, though.

[Damn, possible moment to look good dashed. His Budew is totally superior to whatever your dog thing is!!

Oh well. He stays positive about it. After all, he won't be able to hopefully manipulate Luke later if he gets on his bad side.]

Best of luck to you and your dog, then.

[There'll be a next time, Dist!]

I'm Master Van's student! [Does it show...] I got this in the bag!

[Aaaaand click.]
