prank #41 | video

[When the feed clicks on, it's to a close up shot of a Shedinja floating inside what appears to be a hotel room. The ghost is just staring blankly at the screen, neither moving nor giving any other sort of indication that it's alive or that it really had any reason for apparently deciding to turn the gear on.]

[Just. Staring.]

[It's probably kind of unnerving and the worst part is that this goes on for a good twenty minutes before something else finally happens.]

Ugh, Phoebe did you hide my gear somewhere again? It was cute and kind of funny like the first maybe...three times? But that's really starting to wear off, sorry to say. Jeez, where is everyone it's like a gravey--

[John's voice can be heard in the background, and just as he wonders to himself where all his Pokémon went, his feet can be seen in the background behind the Shedinja. He sighs.]

Well that explains where everyone went at least. [The neon green argyle sock-clad feet approach the bug ghost and the camera.] Exos, what are you doing over here...oh. Ugh, not you too! Jesus what does a guy have to do, I swear... [The camera jostles as John, still mumbling to himself, picks the 'gear up. He redirects the camera to his own face, looking a little exasperated.]

Sorry about that. Exos is...well okay I have no idea what the fuck he was trying to accomplish there, if anything at all. But since this is already on, may as well make some kind of point here I guess. Umm, let's see...

Tell me about your favorite type of Pokémon. Or your favorite species, anything like that. Feel free to gush about your team and the things you have accomplished together, I don't mind. It's actually kind of fun to hear what other people have to say about their companions.

Here, I will even go first. Ghost types are my favorite and thanks to Bro Strider, I recently finished my collection of grim, grinning ghosts. I now have at least one of every ghost-type evolutionary line. My favorite species is Haunter. Mostly for nostalgia reasons but Haunters have the added benefit of just being pretty awesome in general.

Ahaha, "in case," that's a good one! We are quickly running out of unboiled days...if we're lucky maybe we will make it through the rest of this month before that insufferable heat wave rolls in again. [~~The mundane typed with a laugh.~~]

A lot of them are really pretty though, you're right. Like Froslass, Glaceon, and Dewgong.

Of course! I didn't really mean favorites out of the ones you actually own because that just bad Poképarenting. I mean I love Haunters a whole lot but I wouldn't say Slimer is my favorite, I love him just as much as all my others. It was more an objectively speaking thi-- wait.

Did you say Munnas can help with lost memories? [Hello, this is relevant to his interests.]

I'm guessing you are still somewhat new here then? Don't worry, you get used to it pretty quick. Even the really weird stuff that doesn't make any sense.

He probably will and then you will have a giant, fuzzy space heater and winter will be unable to defeat you.

[He is the mini-Dad, it is him. Blame his upbringing.]

Pffttt, maybe. I mean I have yet to develop a love for shaving and pipes so I don't think I am quite 100% dad material yet. Though...apparently some of my Pokémon do see me that way which was a little weird to actually have confirmed. But kind of nice too.

Anyway, the point is: eggs and baby Pokémon are great and I am glad to hear that you have already picked up on this most important of facts, Maka.

Oh, she, my bad whoops. You could always catch or buy another one, though. If you wanted to complete the set.

It was definitely not what I was expecting. But it's cute, she and I kinda match in a way. [Black hair, blue eyes; black skin, blue horns...spitting image, really. He laughs.]

Nothing, apparently. Chalk another one up to "Random Johto Weirdness" and call it a day, I guess. About all we can do.

Yeah, Psychic types were ridiculous OP'd in the games, weren't they? Man I completely forgot about the fact that dark and steel types didn't exist in the games.

[That's how used to this place he's gotten. Holy shit.]

Yeah! A lot of the legendaries basically sound like gods, the more you look into them. Like there are some that can control the weather and even time and space itself. Actually I think there are a few that supposedly have time powers...

Oh huh I guess I just didn't pay attention. The more you know, I guess.

[John chuckles.]

Somehow, that doesn't really surprise me. I think that's just something that is inherently in their nature. They may not be ghosts, but they can be just as clever of pranksters. Michael J. is the same way, and always has been.

Oh? Why's that? Oh and, I'm John by the way. John Egbert.

I figure since we have been talking this long, proper introductions might be a good idea.

Aha...well unfortunately the group was broken up. A couple of them were stolen and Rose ended up having to let the other Ninetales she already pre-inheritance go because she ran out of box space. Our other friend disappeared recently and yeah...you probably know how it is when somebody's lost Pokémon shows up after they leave.

But it definitely would have been interesting, yeah.

[John can't help but giggle a bit at Victoria's posing]

Yes, though admittedly it's a little weird to think of a bug as beautiful. But there is an elegance to her that even somebody like me can appreciate. Though she's a lot bigger than I was expecting, holy crap.

Really glad bees never got that big on Earth except for in science fiction stories.

He's a shinobi pokemon. That's all I got. But hey, at least it makes him easier to train?

[She clearly doesn't look too happy at the giggling, raising one of its claws in warning. In response, Barby tries to comfort it.]

Don't worry about him, dear. I doubt he meant anything by it.

[She turns back to John.]

While Victoria is indeed elegant, she also has feelings and she doesn't take kindly to someone giggling at her. I expect an apology.

[Yeah, she's completely serious right now.]

They expect certain standards and common sense from me, for some reason. Can't say I have any idea why.

[The troubles of being the moderate character, really.]

You have a point there. I'm Captain Ash. Nice to meet you.

I dunno what OP'd means, but I guess so! Oh yeah, steel type neither! I forgot about that. I guess 'cause I don't actually have any steel-types.

[he only knows about Dark-type because he has one.]

I agree. I feel like we're on the border of summer. The heat doesn't usually roll in until late July, so let's hope it remains that way. [ ~~I made that weather, how do you think I feel.~~ ]

Yes, even if they aren't beautiful per se, they still maintain an elegance about them that wouldn't be found if they were, say, fire types. For example, I have a Sneasel, Beartic, Mamoswine and Jynx. Despite their reputations, I've found them to be quite graceful.

Yeah! I deliver messages for people that want to communicate through authentic letters, or they just want to communicate secretly without any chance of failure. [ She can also use her bats to spy, but that's for another time. ]

I think they're really cute, too! [ Enjoy being uncomfortable John. Enjoy it. ]

I find myself drawn to Pokemon who have some... good or just cause in the base nature of their breed.

Or at least that's the pattern I've found from what the Pokedex says about most of my Pokemon. Not all, but most. As a whole, I just try to stay diverse in my types.

[ Joshua kind of matches his, too! But that's A Secret To Everybody. ]

Yet somehow they're mostly blue. Coincidence, or a trend?

...Stolen?

[Well, that was an abrupt conclusion to that particular story.]

Was it by Team Rocket? Has the thief manifested themself since then? If they are still in this world, finding them and getting them back is still possible.

...My dad doesn't--well, he smokes sometimes, but not with a pipe.

[Haaaa, actually dads is a bad subject for her, let's get away from that.

A Mysterious Duskull™ seems to agree with this as it peeks up over Maka's shoulder at John before poofing out again.

Maka has no reaction to this except rub at her shoulder. Dang, where'd that chill come from?]

Well, maybe I'll try catching some Pokemon when I'm closer to Violet City, what should I be on the lookout for?

~~Whoa, x-ray vision, seriously?? How useful...~~

Wouldn't they make your hair stick up all over if ya use 'em for a pillow? I mean, considerin' the static and all that.

Are the ghost types particularly hard t'find? The Haunter one ya mentioned seems kinda neat.

I guess, but when you've already got about fifty monsters to tend to, that might be a little bit overboard.

Not that Venusaurs aren't cool in their own right. It's still neat to see them in action, even if it's just from a distance.

I've been here for a little more than a month so yeah, I guess I'm still somewhat new.

A giant fuzzy heater sounds nice... I'll be able to ride around on his back, too. That's something I'm looking forward to.
