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.]

[Atsuro, Antec and his Phanpy follows along. The trainer glances at Luke when he heard the question.]

Him? My Phanpy!

It looks pretty useless.

[Not one to beat around the bush, this one.]

[The Phanpy seems to be indignant at that.]

Hey, he's not! Give him time and he'll be winning tough battles like a pro.

Is he gonna get any bigger? [That thing's the size of his Zorua!]

He will. Once he evolves into a Donphan. [Atsuro made sure to do his research on any new Pokemon he get.]

How big's a Donphan?

[Up ahead, Zorua is still, indicating that he's probably spotted their target.]

[Noticing that, Nalagiri the Phanpy slowly walks up to Zorua.]

A Donphan's about...I think this big.

[He hold his hand up to around three feet.]

[The Abra's just a scant few metres ahead, sleeping at the foot of a tree, enjoying the shade. The tops of its ears just barely poke over the grass.]

[Meanwhile, Luke's brows arch at the height Atsuro's gesturing for.]

That's still not really big. It--[Zorua quiets him with a hiss.]--o-oh, is it here? Did we find it?

[Immediately he crouches, alert, glancing expectantly at Atsuro.]

[Atsuro crouches down as well, watching the Abra carefully. Hopefully, the Abra's asleep and won't sense their thoughts. He glance at Antec and give a quick hand gesture.

It could mean anything, but in this situation, and from being his closest Pokemon, the Lanturn understands it. Thunder Wave at Abra.

Antec might be one of his quirkier Pokemon, but he's the best on the team for a reason. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky fish...and then...

THUNDER WAVE!]

[Zorua doesn't even wait for Luke's signal, because he knows that if he does it won't come fast enough. He hurls himself forward into a Faint Attack, and while the older, more experienced Lanturn could probably take it out in half the time, he's strong enough that the Abra still feels the Dark-type strike.

Luke gathers his wits and throws his pokebal, and it smacks into the frozen Abra's head. The pokemon disintegrates, disappearing into the ball.

It drops into the grass. Shakes once, twice...ping!

Luke whoops, throwing his arms around Atsuro in a celebratory hug.]

Yes! I got it!

You caught it!

[Antec and Nalagiri cheers. The Phanpy's about to do a play smack with his snout, sort of like a high-five (high-snout?), but Antec merrily rolls out of the way.

Let Atsuro discover the strength behind a Phanpy's snout later.]

You got an Abra now!

[Give Atsuro a moment before he realise Luke's hugging him.]

[It's ok because Luke is going to yank himself back just as fast, doing a tiny victory dance while Zorua looks on with contempt.]

Great! Now I can finally hand this stupid thing in!

[Alright. Then he won't mention the hug thing. ~~for now~~ Antec just look cheery as always and Nalagiri waves his snout, happily.]

Yep! I hope whoever gets it appreciate your present!

They better after all the trouble I went through trying to catch this super rare pokemon for them.

[And now for the big reveal--fucking finally.]

[PAAAAUSE.]

Uh, sorry to break it to you but...Abra? They're not "super rare".

Huh? What are you talking about? I've been chasing it all day!

[He might get it better with a visual aid, Atsubro.]

You can always find another Abra around. They're just...I say uncommon! Look around here and you'll probably find another one.

[Is this the part where he points at a nearby Abra, at a fair distance away?

What do you think this is, a cartoon? Geez.]

['Course it is.]

[Because Luke's life, man.]

[He spots the telltale signs of Abra presence--especially the two little ears poking from the grass--with suspicion, initially, before his eyes turn as wide as saucers.]

[He has been chasing not one, but a myriad of pokemon all day. He's been tricked. He's been had.]

You have gotta be kidding me!

[It's the howl as he drops to his knees. The foreign Abra vanishes.]

Nope. I guess whoever told you give you misinformation.

[YOU'VE BEEN HAD, LUKE.]
