justanexpression: (Am I gonna have fun with you...)
[That’s a Gyarados. That’s a Gyarados roaring in what seems to be either amusement or rage as it rolls about on its back, taking out a tree or two here and there in the process. It probably shouldn’t be so hard to tell the difference between those two emotions, but when your only volume setting is ‘loud’, things tend to blend together.

Dingle the Derpados Gyarados finally rights himself, crushing one last tree as he contorts himself into something like a corkscrew shape. As close as a Gyarados can get to one, anyway.

And that... that seems to be an Eevee climbing him. And a second. And that's a third? Eventually, a dozen or so Eevees, Eeveelutions, and assorted cat- and dog-type pokemon (and one very excited Pachirisu who had catapulted herself directly to Dingle’s head the second she had a free shot from the nearest surviving tree) have arrayed themselves wherever they can reach along Dingle’s back.

And then they wait.

The entire scene goes quiet for a long minute until Dingle starts to slowly tip over sideways, sending the various smaller pokemon jumping for cover and squealing, which sets Dingle off making noise, and rolling, and crashing into things, until it all starts over again, with Dingle finding a new, and (to a Gyarados) interesting shape to assume.

The camera doesn’t turn away from the scene right away, but Jack speaks up to make sure his voice will be heard over the chaos. He sounds amused.]


So he used to play a game sort of like that back when he was still a Magikarp, just kind of more floppy and less property-destroying, but I never thought he’d teach it to the others. You think anyone’s gonna get mad?
justanexpression: (Aww c'mon don't say that.)
[Jack turns the feed on but doesn’t say anything right away, preoccupied with settling the pokemon he’s surrounded by this time. A Togepi sits in his lap, with a Meowth curled into a ball against his leg on one side, and a Buneary and Smeargle snuggled together on the other. All four of them look positively depressed and Jack, for once, doesn’t seem much better.

Spot the Swablu is on Jack’s shoulder as usual, doing her best to groom him all better and looking somewhat distressed herself that it’s not working.]


So... these guys showed up yesterday. I never actually got to meet them in person before, but the names are all right, and they seem to recognize me...

[The Meowth glances up when he pets her head but then returns to her ball.]

I guess this means they’re both really gone, now? That’s usually what it means when your friends’ pokemon suddenly show up in your computer, right?

[He runs a hand through his hair, accidentally undoing Spot’s work and making her whistle in frustration before pecking his fingers out of the way to start over. It gets him to smile, at least.]

Have you ever been surprised that you ended up missing someone you never thought you would?
justanexpression: (...wut)
[For once, the feed clicks on and Jack looks, not happy or excited or even amused, but vaguely confused and unimpressed.

A large part of that may have to do with the Swablu cooing and preening his hair. It's wrapped itself over the top of his head like a hat, and while it looks a bit worn out like it's just reached the end of far too much traveling, it also looks supremely pleased with itself.]


So, uh... Akito? I think this is your fault?

[He tries to look up at the Swablu only for it to coo even more loudly and hunker down on top of his head, as if it knows he's thinking about trying to pry it off. He sighs, but it's offset by a tiny smile.]

I think I need some advice. Don't get me wrong, okay. It's cute. Like really cute. But...

It won't move. It hasn't moved, and it's been like an hour since it came out of nowhere and landed on me. It won't even go into a pokeball. Here, watch.

[He pulls out a pokeball, and the Swablu gets pulled in at first, but soon enough, the ball pops back open as if he'd tried and failed to catch a wild pokemon. The bird flutters straight back to his head, cooing an admonishment this time.]

So yeah. Advice.

Help?
