☆29☆ [Video] [also backdated to yesterday because I took too long writing this]
I'll never get it.
[Here, Johto and/or Kanto. Have a lazy mage, poking the network while sitting against a tree, on top of a blanket on the snowy ground. A Typhlosion is curled up by his side, so as to provide a nice warmth. Yay team campfire!]
Even though it's winter, even though it's really, really cold out here... Rose still insists that she wants to train. It's really troublesome, you know? It'd be really nice to just be like bears or something and hibernate inside until spring comes.
[He looks up toward the sky. Not that there's anything really interesting about gray clouds, but.]
Haa... Well, anyway. That holiday's coming up again soon, right? 'Christmas', or whatever it was called. I wonder if--
[...Hold that thought. Have you ever heard a Paras scream?
Well, if you're paying attention to this broadcast, you have now! Because there is a Paras, screaming as he glows with the light of evolution, as though this is the most painful thing he's ever had to go through.
It's not a very nice scream. Just like how water is just a little bit wet.]
--Aran!
[And now Ryner drops the Pokégear, which ends up partially buried in the snow, so there's nothing else that can be seen, but there's the sound of scrambling as Ryner runs over to where the Paras is to see what's wrong. Also the sound of various Pokémon looking over from what they were doing to see what's wrong - a Clefairy, an Absol, that Typhlosion, an Umbreon, and a Jigglypuff, if you're good at telling those things by voice.]
None of the others have ever started screaming like this when... Aran, hang in there! You don't have to evolve if you don't want to! So if you don't want to, then don't!
[Gradually, the screaming stops as the Paras' evolution is halted, leaving the poor mushroom-bug exhausted, sobbing a little.
Ryner is, understandably, worried about this.]
Is this why you haven't wanted to come outside in weeks... I'm bringing him back to the Center so the nurses can help him. Don't push yourselves too hard while I'm gone, okay?
["Fairy fair." Oh, Rose thinks that's enough for today anyway. And similar noises of assent from the others say that they've all decided to follow him back.]
...Guess you're all coming back with us, then? All right, I appreciate it.
[There's some crunching in the snow, and eventually the Pokégear is picked up. The camera gets the briefest view of a Paras who looks kind of feverish before the feed's turned off.]
