❀ 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?]

[gardentrainer]

And I'm still saying you are.

That's kind of a really sad way to look at things. But then, that makes you bad too, if everyone is bad. I mean, if we're all bad guys to you, then you're a bad guy to everyone else. But most people aren't going to steal your Pokemon. Besides, if you're paranoid about everyone being against you, then why would you want to ask people for help? By your logic, everyone wants to poison your food and do terrible things all the time. You'd have to hunt and gather and cook all your own food to avoid people potentially trying to sabotage you or something. [And that's kind of crazy!!!]

But Naoryuu is so cute! Wait. Why did they give your Pokemon back to you?

[konpeitoqueen]

[...That's a bit closer to home than she likes, Jade. Quite exaggerated, but too close to the life before murderisland and this world. Which just fuels Saionji's stance that Jade doesn't know shit.]

You're reeeeally too naive, you know! Of course, they don't do it all the time... they treat you nice when they want something back. After that, though, it's free-reign!

How am I supposed to know that? I had a network post earlier, and it happened to a whole group! Pokémon were forcibly taken and evolved, then returned for some reason! It sounds like a pretty lame stint for attention, if you ask me.

[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.

[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.]
