An Ideal World

-mit, I really don't need this today. On top of the worst swarm since Rey's...

[Today, the 'gear is turned on when it accidentally falls out of Ryner's pocket, and the video it's recording is... chaotic.

There are Omanytes and Archens everywhere, with the occasional Omastar or Archeops going past, and an Absol and Clefairy trying to go easy on them but knock them out. Jehra is just using False Swipe on them; Rose is taking this as an opportunity to practice controlling the power of her Doubleslap.

Oh, but the more interesting thing might be the Gyarados roaring in the background - a roar of both pain and fury - as she lashes and snaps at the various fossils that are trying to climb all over her. The water she's splashing around is making quite a mess.]

Fyn, you've gotta calm down! We'll go somewhere else and relax for a while, maybe have something special to celebrate, but you need to calm down!

[But the Gyarados isn't listening, instead continuing to roar and lash her tail at anything in the area, fossil or not. A large rock gets swept up in one of these lashes and flies toward Ryner unexpectedly, but a Mienfoo quickly Low Kicks it into harmless pieces.]

Thanks, Tei. ...Ahh, dammit. Fine, guess I'll have to get up there and calm you down myself, huh. Glen, can I get your help here?

["Tik!" The tiny!spider on Ryner's shoulder is ready and willing to help out with that.

An Omanyte tries to grab hold of the 'gear at this point, but a shiny Togepi notices this and pushes the Omanyte away with Ancientpower before grabbing it and turning it off.]

[Well. This is a possibly familiar scene, this evening. A certain lazy mage is slumped over his desk as though he'd really like to go to sleep soon please and thank you. But then, this is typical.]

So, uh... I was thinking of maybe getting a plant. Not a Pokémon, just some kind of normal, flowering plant in a pot. Something small that Rose could take care of - I'm thinking, maybe she'd be a bit more careful when she attacks me indoors if something of hers might get hurt in the crossfire by accident, you know?

But I don't actually know all that much about plants. Um... I mean, I'm pretty sure you need to give them water and sunlight, right? I've never actually taken care of one before, so... And, well, I'm not sure what kind to get, either. I mean, it'd probably be best to get something that'll stay small, because we do travel sometimes, and it'd be a pain to bring something too big along... And something easy to take care of.

Um... So, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd... mmm?

[He turns to look downward, because he is receiving a tug at his pants leg.]

Ah? What is it, Jiji?

["Vee! "Vee!" The microphone somehow manages to pick it up despite the table in the way, but evidently Ryner's Eevee wants him to come see something. He sounds excited.]

All right, I'll come see, hang on.

[And the video ends.]
