❀ 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?]

[She didn't know either.]

Naoryuu went missing, but I just thought he was playing around or in his Pokéball already. When I realized he was gone, I searched high and low for him! I couldn't trust to ask anyone, because even if they weren't against me, word could get out and any kidnapper could just cover their tracks more.

And then he came back evolved as a Vaporeon! I don't know why they'd just kidnap Pokémon to evolve them.

[pipers_son]

[HOW DO YOU MURDER A PERSON WITH A BROOM THO]

Alright, alright. Don't start cryin' again, I'd feel like scum, Heyo~.

Just what's so bad about havin' yer friend there as a Vaporeon instead of a Umbreon, anyway?

[konpeitoqueen]

And that is exactly why you're an idiot.

[IT IS SO ON. His reaction is amusing her more than anything, but she didn't expect him to steel up. Interesting defense mechanism.] I don't see why I should be thankful for something that's a right! In fact, I should just be angry it happened in the first place- and if they kept him, I would've just tracked them down and made them pay. Easy!

[konpeitoqueen]

[And he springs out of nowhere, Tackle-ing Susie's head. It doesn't matter! I'm not weaker because of that, so don't you dare assume it!]

Yeah, this is a game, isn't it? 'Good guys always win' thing. Too bad good and bad is so loosely defined in real life by idiots! But I guess, if there's any merit a children game has, it's a fixed moral system. I don't always agree with it, but it's something most humans can't possess.

[konpeitoqueen]

[SHE'LL FIND A WAY.]

You are scum, anyway, Mr Stooge. [WELL THEN] Look at Umbreon and Vaporeon! The former is sleek, silent, mysterious, and the other is just a big catfish!

I wanted an Umbreon for dancing. [Yeah.]

[bertall]

It just means people won't pay that much attention to me in the long run and I'm fine with that. Everyone would notice me if I was a small, angry little girl who threatened to torture people over the network.

_{[No one ever suspects the quiet guys!]}

What if you were outnumbered?

[neededlassie]

[...oh honey, she's level 100. She takes the Tackle like it ain't no thing and doesn't rise to the bait to attack back formally, just papping her paw on the back of the Vaporeon's head to dunk his face underwater.

Are you upset because of that or because your trainer's upset?]

[...Saionji did you forget you are speaking to a children.]

I think a lot of people would agree that taking someone's pokemon is wrong.

[Like drowning little boys in rainwater, or making teenagers murder each other. Maybe not to the same scale but it's all under the same umbrella of "things that only weirdos think are ok"]

[konpeitoqueen]

What's bad about everyone noticing you? It's just a side-effect that comes with being of higher status! I guess talentless idiots can't understand.

As if I'd be so stupid as to be stuck in a situation like that. I'd get allies before, duh!

[konpeitoqueen]

[GOD FUCKING DAMMIT Naoryuu gets dunked unceremoniously. Welp. I'm not upset! It's bubbled through the water loudly enough.]

I mean, taking it for a while just to see the look on their faces is fun. But stealing is just lame.

[She steals things every now and then just to mess with people- too much pride to steal anything that would actually benefit her, unfortunately. Oh yeah children. Gah. TOO MANY MIDGETS SHE'S KNOWN WHO ARE ACTUALLY JUST AS OLD AS HER...]

[pipers_son]

Oh, my poor heart, don't know how I'll live with that insult.

[This ass..]

Think ya could do some pretty nice dancin' with a Vaporeon. Just gotta be more creative, s'all.

[bertall]

I've never been of a higher status to begin with, and honestly I'm okay with that. I don't know what talent has to do with any of it though.

But, um... I doubt you'll have that many friends with the way you act.

[konpeitoqueen]

Yeah, yeah... but it's still annoying. And my Eevee was forcibly abducted, so he's obviously going to be traumatized by that!

[Actually caring about her Pokémon? Wow-] He's a gift from Big Bro Oowada, so I don't want him to be unhappy. [-and it's because of a human.]

[pipers_son]

[Good thing he held off on his exclamation of surprise that she gave a damn, then.]

Well, he seems just as angry as you, so it looks like he's all well and good on that front.

[konpeitoqueen]

Talent to excel in something and be of use to the world! It's got to do with everything. Well, that's respectable- a slave should know their place, after all.

Pffft, of course I don't! What is with the people here and their fanatic notion that friendship is a positive sign?

[konpeitoqueen]

True. I raised him from an egg just right! No use dwelling over stupid past events.

[YEAH, GOOD THING.] Did any of yours get kidnapped, Mr Stooge?

[neededlassie]

[As a fellow water-type, Susie can understand him just fine. Are you sure? She lets off his head, watching the Vaporeon with a little bit of concern.]

...I guess, but only if you know they're going to think it's funny later.

[A joke's not funny if you're the only one laughing, Saionji!

...but kids do have kind of mean senses of humor.]

[bertall]

I'm not a slave! I'm a wa-- ...I'm a soldier.

Why wouldn't it be a good thing?

[konpeitoqueen]

[Naoryuu just looks even more upset, and flops around in the water angrily. I wanted to be an Umbreon! My trainer said Vaporeons don't look ugly, but just don't fit her.]

But some people just have no sense of humor! Take everything seriously, and the only joke will be you. [Funny, because Saionji takes a lot of things seriously.]

[konpeitoqueen]

A soldier? [Oh, hold on, that sounds interesting.]

Well, for starters, what you all call 'friendship' is simply a bunch of weaklings plotting together against those rightfully above them. You are either an ally, or an enemy- no silly in-between, like friends sound like. Friends are supposed to call you out and stick to you at the same time, and that's just stupid!

The world is split- between those of noble origin and talent, like myself, and the lower class. There's no need to ally with those lower than me- you're better off as my slave.

[neededlassie]

[This is a problem that's pretty unique to Eevees but Susie will try to Team Mom her way through this. It's not your fault you evolved. I'm sure she understands that.]

W-well yeah, but it's still not nice to do things that'll make people cry.

[Shaun's entire life for the past few years (this past year in Johto the exception) has been nothing but tears. He could go the rest of his life without seeing anyone else cry and there would still be too many tears in his life.]

How would you like it if someone pretended to take something of yours and you didn't know they were joking?

[bertall]

Mm...

_{[He pauses to let her words sink in, then he moves his Ninetales a bit so he could draw his legs up to his chest.]}

You know, where I come from it's people like you that need people like me. Without soldiers, you'd probably get eaten because the monsters in my world don't care whether you're rich or the best baker or tailor in the world. To them, you're just food.

...You're even dumber than I am if you think that's stupid.

[pipers_son]

Nope~! All present and accounted for. A good thing, too, since we're gonna be goin' up against that Whitney lass soon!

[lieutenantantichrist]

[The feed comes up on a middle-aged man in the field just outside of Olivine. He's tossing sticks towards a Kingler who leaps and snaps them out of the air with its claws.]

You're an angry little midget, aincha.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

You too, Saionji?

[So it's not just him and his Porygon-turned-Porygon-Z. And it's freaking him out with how...different yet still the same Fortran's acting.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[Okay, she should really beat this Gym Leader soon, fuck...]

They really did single me out, didn't they? And plus, doing something as aimless as evolution without even keeping them... I'll really find those hogs and string them up by their feet for hours!
