☆28☆ [Video/Action]

So? What is it this time?

[It’s not that Ryner’s worried about whatever it is Jehra has to show him. Knowing how his Pokémon are, it’s probably his evolution or something. Granted, you’d think he’d have heard by now if Absols had one, since he certainly isn’t the only one with one, but one never knows, and it’s not like he pays complete attention to every network post.

Once they make it up there, however, Jehra does not, in fact, start glowing the typical light that signifies a change in species. No, instead he pushes over a loose roof tile and retrieves a piece of paper, handing it silently to the one who had hatched him. A single piece of paper, decorated on the edges with the footprints of each of Ryner’s various partners, and in the middle with a single message written in carefully attempted but still obviously novice handwriting:

Happy Ryners Day


Ryner’s first reaction is confusion, then remembering, then a slight double take, followed by slightly narrowing his eyes.]


...Ah, that’s what this is about. Guess I should have expected that she wouldn’t forget about that...

[While he’s distracted with that, though, Jehra gets on his back legs and supports himself on the railing, staring toward the forest. His eyes briefly glow red as he uses Detect, though not because he senses an attack - in fact, it’s actually a signal.

A signal that’s easily caught by the eyes of a certain Noctowl, who upon seeing it immediately takes wing, a Jigglypuff on his back. A Xatu (only recently evolved) follows right behind, another Jigglypuff as her passenger. (One of the Jigglypuffs is actually a Ditto.)

And a Clefairy standing in the top branches of the tree sends up her own reply signal when the birds are ready - a single pulse ring of water, which goes up a few feet before raining to the ground.

"Sol!" Finally, Jehra speaks, and Ryner turns toward the Absol, who indicates for him to look.

And what he sees... well, at first it surprises him, briefly, that they figured out how to do it. Then it hits him why they worked so hard to figure it out, and he wants to facepalm - how many times has he told them that his life isn’t something worth celebrating like this?

...But, eventually, he sighs and decides to accept it.]


...You really, really shouldn’t have... but thanks.

[He pulls out his Pokégear to record it. If they’re going to do this for him, he might as well share it with everyone else, too. After all, it’s not like he hasn’t heard about what happened on the Magnet Train. That kind of horribly troublesome thing happening, with people getting hurt and Pokémon getting kidnapped... well, it’s not like he can do anything about it himself even if it wouldn’t be a pain to, being here and not there. But maybe everyone would appreciate a little spark of happiness to offset the dark times.

Besides, wasn’t that the point when he did exactly this for Sion? Doing something that everyone could enjoy? He can’t fault Rose for choosing to do something like that.

"Absol." In any case, Jehra is content.]


[If you’re in or near Violet City, you can probably see it if you look up over the forest’s edge. If you’re not, well, there’s a video of it coming in from the Pokégear of a certain lazy mage. No commentary, just a recording of it as it happens.

What is it, you might be asking?

Fireworks, of course.

The Jigglypuffs atop the Noctowl and Xatu use Present, then they toss them up in the air as targets for the Clefairy to shoot with Magical Leaf, exploding them into sparkling lights that rain down. It’s hard to say how they’re getting four different colors out of it, but it could be the different properties of each use of Present.

They’re nothing like the fireworks one might see on major holidays that are created by professionals, but they’re still pretty. And relatively quiet, too.

And they go on for a good fifteen minutes before their finale.]

["Clef? Clefairy fairy clefair! Fairy clefair fairy clef fairy." You haven't? Then she's glad that you got to now! Though, the ones her dear partner can make are probably even better.

She's definitely close enough for petting now.]

action;

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well... I still don't get why she picked today.

[That piece of paper he's holding may have something to do with things.]

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's great to meet you too! [ She notices follows the movements of the birds despite the fact that she's completely confused. She doesn't actually ask him though, she figures that'd be rude. But her expression states it all. She's curious. ]

Action

[identity profile] tower-trapped.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gives a laugh, and definately starts giving pets.]

Aren't you adorable?

Action

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She rubs into the pets happily. Pettings and compliments - this is the best~

And then, from up in the tree...

"Puff?"

The Clefairy's ears perk, though she doesn't want to leave the petting. Seems like a friend is calling her...]

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He's caught sight of them too. He, though, was kind of expecting this.]

Ah, here they come, actually.

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Here what come?! What do they have?! [ Rangiku is so very curious. ]

Action

[identity profile] tower-trapped.livejournal.com 2011-12-04 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She hears the call, and looks up, pausing in her pets in her curiosity.]

Oh! There's another one!

Action

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-05 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[And the mystery 'mon comes down the tree, bouncing off the ground once or twice before landing. It's a Jigglypuff, one whose expression is eternally a small smile.

"Puff jiggly puff puff?" Said Jigglypuff wants to know if the Clefairy is coming. Their rides are waiting.

"Fairy fair~" But the Clefairy found someone who watched the fireworks and liked them and is now petting her.

"Puff?" And now the Jigglypuff walks closer, interested in meeting this person.]

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-05 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
The ones who made the fireworks.

[They're coming into better view at this point. Three birds - two Noctowls and a Xatu - the former two of whom are carrying a Clefairy and a Jigglypuff back with them. (One of those Noctowls is a Ditto.)]

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-05 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, my! They look very unique, I don't think I've ever seen any of these pokemon~! [ But then she pauses as she sees a ditto'd out face. ] But what's with one of their faces? It's just two dots and a line compared to the other one that has a much more detailed face.

Action

[identity profile] tower-trapped.livejournal.com 2011-12-05 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Rapunzel just smiles at the Jigglypuff, not put off at the situation she's in at allll. She is enjoying herself so much.]

Oh, hello! Did you help with the lights as well?

action;

[identity profile] dangoism.livejournal.com 2011-12-05 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pinged! Leaning closer now.]

Oh? What's that?

action;

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, this? Something Rose and the others made.

[not going to specifically show it off, but not going to keep you from taking it and looking either...]

Action

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
["Puff. Jiggly jiggly puff?" Yes. You were watching?

The Jigglypuff is curious. And also that little smile isn't going anywhere.]

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ah?

[Looking again...]

...Huh. Elfy's usually more careful than that. Guess he's probably tired, not that I blame him. He's a Ditto, so...

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ah! I see! Ditto are those pokemon that are called pimps who transform into other pokemon right~? I know I'm right about this!! [ She claps to herself in an amazing assessment of her intelligence. Figuring out what Ditto is? One of the very smartest that no one ever was!!!!! ]

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[...p-pimps...

what kind of description... ]


Erm... well, I don't know about them being called anything like that, but... they are the ones that transform, yeah.

[It's about here where the three birds land on the roof, and not a moment too soon, for as soon as the Noctowl with the Ditto face touches down, he's suddenly a Ditto again, and kind of flops to the ground, obviously exhausted.]

action;

[identity profile] dangoism.livejournal.com 2011-12-08 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well then. Yoink!

....

....

There is the most profound silence here, and then—]


I wasn't aware your name was spelled with an 's'.

action;

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-08 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Er... I don't. Rose just didn't tell me she was teaching herself to write, so she missed the apostrophe, I guess.

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ She really does love being so casual. ]

Oh! Are they able to attack with similar moves and everything? Is there anything about the Ditto that's different besides the weird eyes or mouth?

[ She looks at Ditto with a smile on her face and even waves hi to him! ]

Action

[identity profile] tower-trapped.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, well, that's good, because Rapunzel is smiling back as well.]

They were amazing! They remind me of the lights at home...

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, he can't really imitate human speech even when he copies me, but aside from that, his transformations are really accurate.

[The Ditto waves back, though weakly due to his exhaustion.

The Clefairy dashes over and pounces up on Ryner's shoulder, demanding attention. Attention which Ryner does oblige to give, reaching up to pet her behind the ear.]


You guys were pretty clever, to come up with that all by yourselves.

["Fair?" Really? You had them back where you come from too?

The Clefairy seems interested in hearing more about them.]

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow! They're pretty awesome it seems. Maybe I should get one.

[ Then she flails around a bit and looks at Ryner, totally surprised. ]

Wait, wait, so you mean they made that display all on their own?!
