nine (video/text) ♊ there's a power inside you and a battle to be won
[The feed turns on today to reveal one (1) nice, idyllic scene of the clearing in front of Azalea Forest. The sun is shining, (what's left of) the trees are rustling, and a bunch of Pokémon in the grass are beating the tar out of each other. ...No, wait, they're just playing. There's a lot of mis-aimed attacks and a fair bit of ear-biting, but the shrieks of pain from the other Pokémon are halted when the offending ear-biter gets levitated into the air and shaken around a little. Sollux's team is composed of five right now, four ickle babbies and one nearly-level-100 Claydol overseeing the shenanigans. (It is the one levitating the Pokémon who try foul play, of course.) An Eevee and Combee are facing off in one corner, and a Yamask and Shiny Mienfoo in the other, but shortly after the video begins that whole scene begins to deteriorate as it turns into a four-mon free for all. The Claydol apparently has no problem with this.]
CY, behind you! Pay attention!
[At Sollux's intervention (shouted from behind the PokéGear), the Combee known as Crystal flies upwards just in time to avoid a flying tackle from the Eevee, who spits angrily at her before lunging for someone else. We turn away from that delightful visage to a shot of Sollux, holding the Gear in one hand and a very strange Badge Case in the other. 'Strange' in the sense that the first two slots are filled with the Zephyr and Hive Badge, cuts directly to the Fog Badge, and then the Mineral Badge, and then a Kanto Volcano Badge all alone at the bottom.]
Remember, kids, sequence breaking is not cool. It makes for a lot of running around and embarrassingly easy wins later on. [He shuts the case and tosses it in his bag, ignoring the thrashing Yamask trapped in the air behind him. And yes -- you really don't want embarrassingly easy wins. Good way to get judged by the locals, those.] So anyway, yeah, new Badge get. I already swept the floor with Bugsy, though, so while everyone else is in Azalea I'm just hanging around. Looking at the Gear this morning, it looks like a bunch of you have your minds occupied with the Johto holiday dedicated to your weird-ass monoquadrant form of relationships. But for those of us who don't look gooey-eyed at anyone [Sollux has never been good at hiding his denial] what are the rest of you planning to do this Valenti--goddammit, NA, control yourself for thirty seconds, won't you?!
[He drops the Gear on the ground and runs over to the ruined scene behind him, where Naginata (the overly-ambitious Eevee) has now sunk her claws a bit too hard into Crystal's wings, and one of them has been torn into ribbons. After freaking out and shouting a few words that should never, ever be said in front of young Pokémon, Sollux storms back over and turns off the Gear.]
[That night, an anonymous text message pops up on the Network. Anyone who tries to respond will get no reply.]
Psst. Who's sticking around in Goldenrod after the breeder con? Probably a lot of you. Noontime, February 17, on top of the Goldenrod Department Store. PFC, Egg-watching services available.
