☆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.]

I'm Rangiku Matsumoto! It's great to meet you~! [ we we we so excited. ]

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you too.

[And oh look, are those some birds flying back toward the inn?]

[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. ]

[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. ]

[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.

[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.]

[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! ]

[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.

[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?!

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they're mostly found around Goldenrod, I think...

But yeah, they made it all by themselves. Didn't even tell me they were planning it until just now.

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
When I return to Goldenrod I'll go Ditto hunting!

Aah?! They're so clever! Tell me, then, what's the secret to all of those pretty fireworks!?

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
What do you guys say? Would you show her how you did it?

["Clefairy!" Rose cheerfully responds affirmatively. Of course she's up for it.

"Jiggly!" The Jigglypuff steps forward... and suddenly, a wrapped present appears in his hands. He tosses it up in the air as high as he can, which is actually pretty high.

"Clefairy clef clefair... Clefairy!" And then the Clefairy shoots a bunch of leaf missiles toward the present, causing it to explode in a shower of glittering sparks.]

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
So they both use really sparkly attacks to make them explode into sparkles?! [ Rangiku claps as she watches the show, her Vulpix being completely captivated too. ]

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Seems like it.

["Fairy!" The Clefairy takes in the applause happily. Hooray for praise!

"Puff!" The Jigglypuff, also, seems grateful for the applause, though his little smile is unchanging as usual.]

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
What are these pokemon anyways?! I don't recall ever hearing about them, but they look so darling!

[ She continues to stare at them as if they're just wonderful, wonderful pets! ]

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He indicates toward each one in turn as he mentions them.]

Well, Rose here is a Clefairy, and Kaile is a Jigglypuff. Gail is a Noctowl, and Lori is a Xatu. Over there is Jehra, and he's an Absol, though he didn't help as directly with the fireworks. And of course, you already know that Elfy is a Ditto.

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
All of these pokemon are very majestic! [ She grins as she shows off hers in rapid succession. ] This is Haineko, the Vulpix. [ Who has burned a sizable hole into a blanket. ] This is Izuru, the Tauros! [ Who is currently spearing the living hell out of a painting. ] Thins is Mayuri, the hideous Yanmega [ Who is trying to eat all of Jynx's hair. ] and this is Rukia, and she's a Jynx! [ In the mean time, Jynx is eating Rangiku's expensive chocolates.



They're quite a wholesome bunch, aren't they? ]
I don't have any more than this but I have an egg, too. I wonder what it is. [ She pans the feed over to a Murkrow egg that seems to be exceptionally sturdy. ] What type of pokemon do you collect? Cute ones and ones that fly?

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
You have some pretty amazing ones yourself. [He specifically notes the Yanmega, because a) he doesn't see why you describe it as hideous and b) it reminds him of a larger Yanma, so maybe it's an evolution...]

Ah... well, I don't really collect them as much as they decide to come with me, really. Or when I receive an egg for one reason or another...

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Any specific you want to know about~? I love talking about all of them! [ It's true. Even if Ryner didn't select one, she would. That means eight plus hours of stuff about Haineko and how and why she is amazing without warning. ]

Heh! I receive eggs all the time but they never seem to actually hatch so I decided those talents would just be left to others, especially actual living pokemon!

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well, actually... Would Yanmegas happen to evolve from Yanmas, just wondering?

Your eggs don't hatch? That's odd - they usually take about a week or so, for me... [But then, he's also technically a breeder, so...]

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! That's right! Yanmas evolve into this guy right here~! In fact, I caught him as a Yanma right when bugs invaded Johto but he evolved quickly after that!

I know riiiight? I'm one of those trainers and a breeder but they take months to hatch... if they ever will hatch.
