❀ 3rd Konpeito ❀ [Video/Action]

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?]

Comments

[konpeitoqueen]

Competition? So there was competition to get into your circus?

[Ho hum... she does know Jultagi is a Korean tradition very similar to tightrope. She hasn't seen it, though- mostly because Japanese superiority and all.] Has anyone fallen before?

[silentscales]

[Snake shakes his head no,] If you have some skill you can join, but you have to be the best of us to regularly be in shows. Otherwise you help backstage, says John.

[Everyone needs to pull their own weight, even if they don't perform after all. Besides, having alternate members also gives various people the chance for a break from time to time.]

We have had people fall before in practice, but we have a net so no one has gotten too hurt, says Ruskin.

[konpeitoqueen]

So, what was the worst injury?

[Uhhhhhh...] Is there ever any backstage drama and fighting? That always happens, in stories like this...

[silentscales]

Joker is better at story-telling, says Ruskin. [Which is true. Also she's weirding Snake out a bit.]

[konpeitoqueen]

As if I'd ask Mr. Stooge! He'll probably just lie to me.

[Welp...] Well, if you can't dance or tell me anything, I don't find any reason to continue talking to you.

[Hang up?
>Yes
>No]

[silentscales]

There has been a death or two, says John.

[konpeitoqueen]

[>No]

Deaths? How did they happen? Jealous conspirators?

[silentscales]

Accidents, says John.

And even if Joker lies it would be a better story, says Gaskell.

[konpeitoqueen]

Oh, accidents.

[Seems legit.]

Are you sure?

[gardentrainer]

I don't think there's really a Good versus Evil thing here. There doesn't seem to be a real ending. We kind of just keep collecting Pokemon and doing things.

Like, there isn't really anything happen! We kind of just go about our business and sometimes stuff happens once in awhile. I don't know if there's a real way to win here unless you beat every trainer that exists here. Winning is kind of whatever you want it to be.

[konpeitoqueen]

Just wandering around without a goal... 'winning is whatever you want it to be'... it's such a stupid utopia, you think there's gotta be something terrible going on in the background.

[Utopia is never as it seems. Such is television shows and stories.]

[gardentrainer]

From how the Pokemon games went from what I remembered, there probably isn't as much terrible things happening as we like to think. It's a stark difference from probably your world and mine. Maybe there are terrible things happening, but things seem to be at peace for the most part.

[How does the government here even work man.]

[konpeitoqueen]

It is one of the first video games, though... all in black-and-white, with people wanting to brainwash children into thinking the world is great...

[Such a mystery.] Well, it's not like we'll know. Do you have anything good to say? Because I'm getting bored of you.

[gardentrainer]

The game is kind of ridiculous if you think about it. You go on some adventure by yourself and you're probably around ten.

You didn't have to talk to me. I just wanted to pet your Vaporeon because they were cute.

[konpeitoqueen]

Wouldn't all of them die in the wild?

Petting the Vaporeon who just got kidnapped! I had every right to check on you. [Hmph.] I can feel my IQ dropping just talking to you; I'll do myself a favor a leave.

[gardentrainer]

I was able to shoot rifles way before I was ten, so maybe not.

That's only because your skull is too thick to gain information probably.

[konpeitoqueen]

Oh, so a marksman? [Unfortunately, Jade, there are no rifles here.

And EXCUSE YOU] No, it's because your big, fat mouth just swallows all the intelligence around it!

[gardentrainer]

Yeah. But that doesn't really matter here since we don't have any weapons in this world. [Which makes her guess that hunting and gathering required Pokemon early on. Weird.]

You talk more than I do, so I think you might be talking about yourself!

[konpeitoqueen]

[BIIIITCH]

I'm the one qualified here, idiot! I've been so kind to lend you an ear for far too long! [GRABS NAORYUU OFF THE GROUND WHOA WHAT] I'm leaving!

[gardentrainer]

Qualified? In what exactly? Talking a lot? I know someone who was also very qualified and he was very angry and shouted a lot. [Oh man. She wonders what Karkat and Saionji would be like.

Actually. Maybe she doesn't want to.] Bye~!

[konpeitoqueen]

[BYE BIIIIIIITCH]

Shut up! [SHE'S PACKING AND LEAVIN U FOR REAL

at least, jade is nice enough for most of the venom between them to dissipate whenever they meet again]

[gardentrainer]

[Jade lets her leave, man. At least she hasn't set up passwords like she did with Karkat.

Jade doesn't think Saionji is completely terrible or anything, so she kind of lets it drop most of the time. Or maybe Jade is becoming a little troll.]
