2 ♫ video/action for route 34
[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.]

[They manage to lure out an Abra! And it sure does love the honey.]
[In fact, Snubbull is probably mildly psychologically traumatized by this point because oh god strange pokemon licking me.]
[And then it's not just the Abra. Attracted by the honey, half the goddamn Route shows up for dessert, bowling over Luke. Zorua, too.]
[And then it's just a wild flailing honeyed mess of trying to extract his Snubbull from the throng of lickers and by then the Abra is long gone.]
[video]
Right. Whoever gave you that amazing advice either didn't know what they were doing? ... Or deliberately was messing with you. Either way... great job, Luke.
[ The dripping sarcasm. Can you hear it. ]
[video]
Shut up! It's not my fault that advice was bogus! [It's never his fault, incidentally, but Korra will learn this in time.] Stop looking at me like that!
[video]
[video]
Hey, you're okay, right?
[Snubbull shakes for a moment before lifting her head, her face half-covered by his hair. Then she reaches up and licks his jaw a bit before burying her face in his neck.]
[Luke is not looking fond, what are you talking about, and also any pinkness on his nose is due to being out in the sun, plus his hair and Snubbull being close and reflecting on his skin. Nothing else could possibly be at work.]
...Guess I'm gonna have to find you a name, huh.
[Because fuck, he can't just dump her after that.]
[video]
Hah. I'd give her more than that, if that's how she still feels after that abuse you put her through. [ Light scoff. ] Someone's gotta have faith in you, right?
[video]
Whatever. She made it out.
[The most roundabout, half-assed compliment ever.]
What should I call her, though?
[It's not like he gave much thought to his Zorua's name.]
[video]
[video]
I guess I'll call her Bruiser.
[The point <------------------------------> Luke]
[video]
[video]
Doesn't she look like a 'Bruiser' to you?
[In response, Bruiser puffs up a little too.]
Snub.
[video]
[video]
[It's now that he remembers what Lion told him, when he first arrived--be their teacher, like your would want to be taught. He looks down at Bruiser, smiling.]
I'll teach you how to be awesome.
[This sounds promising. Keyword: 'sounds'.
It will probably be a failure, but he's coming from a good place, at least. Snubbull looks skeptical.]
[video]
[ Don't worry, Snubbull. Korra will look skeptical along with you. ]
[video]
[video]
[ Yup, still teasing. ]
[video]
[video]
[video]
[Awww, that teasing was cute and then Luke had to shove his foot in his mouth.]
[video]
You're... [ Skeptical staring. ] Kidding? [ Beat. ] Or not, but... a "refund" is getting your money back from a show or something you didn't particularly like.
[video]
[normal people problems <-------------------------------------------> Luke]
[video]
That wasn't the point-- you're getting your money back because you weren't pleased with the product! Seriously, haven't you bought anything, then just returned it and getting your money back?
[video]
[y e p]
Whatever! I'm going back to--[NOT BACK TO BASE]--back home. Catch you later, all right?
[video]
Great.
She rolls her eyes. ] Right, right. See you, Luke.
