VIDEO

[Who's the most terrible trainer in the world? Saionji Hiyoko, that's who. In any case, she's staring at the video screen, a Vaporeon sitting on her lap. And both of them looked pissed as hell.

Hey, it's not like Saionji didn't even notice Naoryuu was gone!... Okay, yeah, she didn't. But that doesn't change the situation right now.]

When I find out who took my Eevee and forcibly evolved him into a Vaporeon when I wanted an Umbreon, I'll have you publicly stoned! Since execution isn't an option here, I'll have to do with torture. You won't get away with this, slimy pig!

[And, video off.]

ACTION

[Said Vaporeon is currently paddling in the large pond behind the Gym in Violet City. Saionji is sitting at the edge and pouting. Her Petilil is hopping up and down the road bobbing sweets and biscuits on its head from... god knows where to Saionji, but always ends up having to go back to town for more because it gets splashed in the face and dragged into the water by the Vaporeon frequently. Saionji doesn't seem to care much.

...Approach?]

[GET OUT OF HER FACE]

Hey- okay, fine! But if it's not entertaining, I want a refund for my time and disappointment!

[name ur price ok she wants to see dancing snakes]

[babel_hacker]

[Wow are you saying you're dissing Tim Tams Tam Tims?]

Only just one brand? Not others, right? [Don't let one bad candy ruin the entire experience!] And of course I watch my wallet! How else would I have enough money to spend for myself and my Pokemon?

[konpeitoqueen]

All Western brands are nothing but trash, commercialized with addictive poison and fattening sugar!

Why else would so many Westerners be plodding around their fat, disgusting bodies? They start from young, selling candies and stuffing children like pigs for slaughter! Pigs, that's what they all are!

[whoa whoa what] I hope you see that sooner or later, Big Bro Atsuro. Then again, I've no use for hesitating fools that can't face reality.

[lullabytes]

...Admittedly, that's what the game protagonist did...

[ SO SHE...GUESSES THAT IS A PLAN... ]

[babel_hacker]

[Whoooooa there, girl.]

Just calm down! I'll let you know about it later. [Not that he really minds, but he rather not end a potential friend...ship (??) on a sour note.

There's a noise in the background, making him glance behind him.]

And I should get going, anyway! Pokemon calls!

[konpeitoqueen]

[EHEH. That scared him (in her point of view anyway) well enough.]

Okay then! Bye, Big Bro Atsuro!

[Mood changing 101 conducted by Saionji Hiyoko. Anyway, she hangs up before him.]

[konpeitoqueen]

Really? Well, let's do that, then!

[PLAN SETTLED.] But we should rest before heading out to find them and beat them up... or get more badges. Unless they're really such big idiots, any kid could beat them.

[ahahahahhaha]

[lullabytes]

It depends on the level...getting more badges never hurt, though. That way you can steamroll through the bosses...

[konpeitoqueen]

Okay then! Let's steamroll through them, Big Sis Nanami!

[WELP and she suddenly calls Naoryuu back, dashing off to train. That was... an O.K. FTE?]

[lullabytes]

[ THEIR FTES ARE SO CONFUSED... ]

[gardentrainer]

[Jade is just under the assumption that Saionji doesn't really know a lot herself.]

If I'm naive, then I really don't care! I'm happy as I am. [Besides, Jade might be some island child who doesn't know a lot about society, but she definitely isn't a pushover.] I like meeting people, but I have my friends and I'm happy with that too.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would someone want to just evolve a Pokemon and give it back? [It sounds kind of dumb.] Have they gotten caught yet? They must be part of the Team Rocket organization I heard about before.

[konpeitoqueen]

Maybe you are, but when your so-called 'friends' decide they're tired of you, don't start crying! [ASSUMPTIONS EVERYWHERE...]

I have to agree on you for that, though. It's stupid! Unless they just wanted to study evolution to... make some super-evolution, or something.

[gardentrainer]

As much as I'd love for my friends to be friends with me forever, it doesn't mean we might stay friends for the rest of our lives. Although, I like to think that we'll at least be friends for awhile since we've all died at least once for one reason or another! [Usually the friends you die and come back with are keepers, right?]

That seems like a dumb way to go about it. Unless they can figure out mutations, Pokemon seem to follow certain paths. But just evolving Pokemon probably wouldn't cause a mutation. Mutations are usually something that are acquired to help with survival. What use is there to just randomly evolve them? Other than to speed up the process. But that sounds like it would make Pokemon weaker because they didn't get the adequate training in the first place.

[konpeitoqueen]

...What? [OTHER WORLDS ARE SO WEIRD...] If you're lying, that would be lame. But does that mean your world has... magic, or something?

Don't ask me! I'm not so idiotic as to fake my own Pokémon getting stolen. [She didn't get half of what you said anyway. What is evolution??? Totally paid attention in mandatory education, guys.] Team Rocket sounds like an organization from a bad sci-fi movie, though, so maybe they'll do that. All stolen Pokémon that were brought up to me were evolved by items and not levels or 'friendship', so they're probably trying to force item evolution on something.

[gardentrainer]

Who lies about that? Dying isn't fun! [That sounds like a dumb thing to lie about anyways.] Yeah, it had magic. I could make things like battleships and entire planets shrink or move them or make them bigger. It was pretty neat.

Hmm. So they're trying to bypass item evolutions. But yes! Team Rocket is an organization that does bad things. I've heard that they try and steal Pokemon or cause trouble, so this might be one of those instances.

[konpeitoqueen]

[...She understand that, though. Moving on- weird, how easily they can just move along after yelling.]

They're like the evil organization bring brought into a bad sci-fi film! Writing them into a story like this just means something is gonna go wrong.

With how stupid they are, though, they won't succeed much.

[gardentrainer]

[Jade is pretty easy going, and it's not like the other harassed her a lot like the trolls did.]

I think there's too many of us for them to really ever overtake. But I wonder if whoever evolved all these Pokemon is gonna try to do it again. That would be unfortunate.

[konpeitoqueen]

[As much as a shithead Saionji is, she's still human. And plus, there's less pressure and curses spewing from her than, say, anyone faced with the apocalypse of their world.]

It's a bit dumb and overused, that in all the stories, the hero always wins. I have a thing for books where the hero is perceived by the reader as a villain. [Oh god if she ever finds out that Komaeda liked a book like that too...] But this is a kid's story, so it'll probably be a clear-cut, lame Good verses Evil thing where good triumphs. Pfft.

[silentscales]

[Snake sets down his Pokègear and starts doing a dance with his ekans and one of his sevipers that tricked the eyes between their fluid motions, creating a rather glorious spectacle that even included his pokèmon seeming to attack him as he gracefully dodged and caught them, letting them wrap around him and then slipping out of their coils with anything from steps or rolls to handstands and he finally ends his dance, catching each snake as they strike, just inches from his face and stays there as they flick out their tongues to either of his cheeks.

It is clear he has been doing this for years, and this dance was designed specifically with the pokèmon in mind. They worked together fantastically as a group, and there were only flaws left in their coreography that a trained eye might catch.

Snake is just a little out of breath as he finishes, as these two snakes are far heavier than the ones he's used to working with, but it didn't look like there was any strain on him until he goes to address the 'gear again,]

We're working on other dances too, says John.

[konpeitoqueen]

[She is, indeed, a trained eye. She's never seen snake dancing, though- charming, yes, but not dancing! There's a pause because she's actually clapping.

Congratulations, Snake. You're the first person to actually up and really impress her.]

Do it again! Do it again! [The added adrenaline in the dance with the constant striking and fear of death just spices things up even more. Not to mention it was actually pretty graceful- Saionji is open to all dances. Except stupid modern Western ones where you just shove your body everywhere with no rhythm. Ew.]

What other dances? You'll be having a circus, right? I wanna watch!

[silentscales]

[And even the pride in his chest he gets from that applause can't get him to smile. But he is proud. He might not know her well, but he didn't expect such enthusiasm. Unfortunately he also noticed Joker's response by now and doesn't want to go against his leader,] You can come see them at the circus when it opens, says John.

Or pay more, according to what Joker says, says Ruskin.

[konpeitoqueen]

[Well, Saionji just loves morbid displays, and with dance mixed in? However, she's also against the idea of accidentally going bankrupt in case of Joker pulling some ludicrous price out of his ass.]

Fine. [Pout.] What's the rest of your circus going to have, anyway? [...Honestly, all she knows about circuses are that they have animals on fire and sword swallowing and stuff like that. She has been invited to join in on the circus, but normally that was an insult to her.]

[silentscales]

At least knife throwing, since that's what Joker is best at, says Ruskin.

We should be looking for some more people who train dangerous pokèmon well, clowns, tightropes, maybe a human cannonball, and Joker probably has a lot more ideas too, says John.

[konpeitoqueen]

[K-K-KNIFE THROWING?!]

Knife throwing? With real, living targets and blindfolds? [...why does she sound to excited at that...] Teehee, I guess I underestimated what circuses had to offer...

[silentscales]

[Snake nods,] And the tightrope is usually very high up. Most of what we do is very dangerous, which is why it takes a lot of training to be able to be one of our performers, says Ruskin.

The competition can be deadly, says John.
