FIRST ERRAND ➣ VIDEO / ACTION [GOLDENROD CITY]

[ ACTION - GOLDENROD CITY ]

[Hey, Team Rocket, how's it going? Has the base been peaceful lately? Because it certainly isn't going to be today. In fact, if you're unfortunate enough to be walking the hallways, you might see a Grunt get tossed into a nearby wall (or you, if you're really unfortunate). Thankfully the poor guy's alright, just a little stunned, but the shrieking that follows implies that this wasn't some sort of horrible Pokémon-related accident.]

Give me some answers, fucker! I don't give a shit about Pokey-mon or whatever the fuck you're talking about!

[The guy doing the shrieking is... actually fairly tiny. He's about 5'8" and doesn't look like he could toss a guy his size down a hallway. He's wearing a white suit and actually looks presentable, if not a bit pissed off.

...Okay, "a bit pissed off" is a horrendous understatement.]

Are you working for the fucking doves? Is this some kind of a fucking joke? If you shitheads think you're going to capture me again--!

[Naki bends down to grab the poor Grunt by the collar, hoisting him up over his head without much difficulty. The Grunt tries to say something, but Naki doesn't even finish his own thought, much less let the Grunt get a word in edgewise. Instead, he turns and tosses the Grunt down the hallway. Again.]

I'll fucking kill you! I'll fucking kill you all!!

[...Someone please save that poor Grunt.]

[ VIDEO ]

[Well, it's almost a day later and it seems someone has finally managed to get Naki to sit down and listen to reason. Somehow. Now that Naki isn't in the base anymore, he's actually much calmer. The video doesn't reveal much in terms of background and is shot from a low angle, revealing the sky and... not much else. Naki is standing, leaning in a bit to look at the camera, and holding a Magikarp by the tail. He shakes the fish at the camera and glares into it accusingly.]

This thing sucks.

[...Thank you, Naki. Surely no one has figured that one out.]

What's the point of Splash? It doesn't do anything. That's all this useless thing knows.

[The Magikarp flops around a bit at the word "useless", like it's responding to being called by name. Naki looks disgusted and shakes the fish before dropping it unceremoniously to the ground. The camera follows the fish before turning back up to face Naki.]

Where do I get something good? If these things are our only weapons here, I want something powerful.

[Did you just miss the part about training Pokémon to make them stronger, or...?]

Oh, if anyone's got any information about getting home, that would be great too. I just got here so I'm still trying to figure this place out.

And what is with this stupid music?

Comments

[pinnedbangs]

Huh? [And here he cleans out one pointed ear for ~DRAMATIC EFFECT~.] I don't hear any music at all. Just nature. Y'know, grass. Trees. Wind in the willows. [WHATEVER THAT MEANS]

No tall buildings or MP3 players here! [Did Naki ask to see just how barren and lacking in technology Rin's neck of the woods was? No? TOO BAD HERE'S SOME NATURE.]

[deaftly]

[That sure is some nature isn't it... Well maybe you don't have any stupid speakers hidden somewhere!]

Well there's definitely music playing here and it's fucking annoying.

[pinnedbangs]

Nope. No music. I've been to loads of places around here and I haven't heard that. [he is fifteen years old, he can play this game all day] It might be a pokemon playin' tricks on you. They can do that, y'know. Some of 'em are psychic.

[deaftly]

Psychic? You mean like they can fuck with your head?

[You're going to have an easy time with this one...]

No way, you really think a Pokey-mon's doing that!?

[pinnedbangs]

That's ri~ight. [Let no one doubt his relation to Mephisto Pheles.]

Of course it can... Psychic-types like to mess around like that. Some of them are even smarter than people! ...But what's worse are ghost type pokemon. [CLIFFHANGER]

[deaftly]

Ghosts? Are you fucking serious? There are psychics and ghosts?

[BUT ARE THERE GHOST PSYCHICS???]

[pinnedbangs]

Dead serious. There are definitely psychic and ghost type pokemon. They attach themselves to anyone. ...But I heard you can get rid of 'em with a Spell Tag. You gotta wear 'em though.

[deaftly]

Oh shit, so are those Pokey-mon dangerous? I mean, I can handle myself obviously, but how the hell do you even hit a ghost? And if the psychic can read my mind...

[pinnedbangs]

Eh?! Hit a ghost?!? Are you tryin' to get it mad?

[TURN UP THE DRAMATIC VOICE TO ELEVEN] Don't you know what happens if you hit a ghost pokemon?

[deaftly]

What? What happens!?

[Well, you've got him hook, line, and sinker, good job!]

Thank you for getting me to use this icon fdjsakfsd

-- SUDDEN SCENERY CHANGE --

What's with the darkness? And the -- okay there isn't much but darkness but still what was up with the sudden darkness did the camera turn off or --

-- THERE IS GROWLING IN THE BACKGROUND. REPEAT. THERE IS LOUD GROWLING IN THE BACKGROUND. STATIC TOO. OH MY GOSH STATIC EVERYWHERE. Through the darkness, Rin's voice can be heard - though it is garbled and jumbled and someone break out the security blankets and cookies we need an adult unless you don't scare easy then it must sound pretty cheesy and maybe a little menacing]

They'll get you.
