☆15.5☆ [Fourth Wall Video/Action]

( A background nightmare that's tl;dr and no one probably cares about it )

( Action in his room in the inn right after that also provides tl;dr background that no one probably cares about - you can pop in during this point if you'd like, but please specify if you do. )

[Today's video feed from Route 36 is being brought to you by Aran the Paras, who is sitting on a low branch of a nearby tree.]

So basically, magic is really just rearranging the flow of energy in the world in certain ways, in order to produce different phenomena. Like this...

[And he draws a pattern in the air. Unlike the last time he tried, however, his fingers leave behind visible trails, creating a glowing pattern in the air, kind of like a magic circle.]

What I seek is lightning... IZUCHI!

[And this time, something happens - a large bolt of lightning comes forth from the pattern of light, striking a conveniently placed boulder a short distance away.

"Clefairy!!" Rose applauds while jumping up and down excitedly. That was so amazing, dear partner!!

(Incidentally, there is a Darkrai and a Litwick standing a short distance behind them, who are also both applauding, impressed.)]

Heh... That one's not really all that difficult, but, well, I'm glad you liked it, anyway.

[Then Rose steps forward and -

"Clefairy clef clefair... Clefairy!"

- uses Magical Leaf on that same boulder. She then turns back to Ryner and, with a "Clefairy fairy!", asks if he can do something like that too, since he can shoot lightning and taught her Thunderbolt.]

Mmm? Can I do something like that? Ah, well, I don't know any spells like that, but I can see if I can make something, anyway. Let's see... It'd probably be Estabul-style, the way you do it...

[He draws another pattern in the air, this one like ribbons that circle around him.]

I offer up this contract, um, how about, to call upon a tornado of leaves!

[He's not very good at naming spells. (Or Pokémon, really.) But the basic point is there, and he's surrounded briefly by several glowing ellipsoid-like shapes, kind of like leaves, which he directs to twirl upward before colliding a distance above his head and explode into a sparkling firework.

It's not quite Magical Leaf, but Rose seems impressed, jumping up and down and chattering about how awesome that was.

One small thing of note, though... were his eyes glowing red when he casted that second spell?]
