prank #51 | video

[Judging by the dim light, it's well into sunset by now and John's laying on a lounge chair on what can only be the deck of the S.S. Anne. On his chest lays a small Dunsparce, wearing a tiny and absolutely adorable light blue party hat. John's idly petting its back, eliciting a few content sighs from the little snake every now and again.]

I know we have a starter appreciation day, but there's nothing quite like the anniversary of your arrival to get you thinking about the Pokémon that started it all. Like really think about them, I mean. Not just kind of acknowledging that they were your first Pokémon.

Or maybe I am just sentimental, who knows. But I really think there's something kind of special about starters. Even if there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why you were paired up together. Either way, Colonel Sassacre here and I have been together three years as of today. [The Dunsparce flitters his wings a little, maybe giving the camera the smallest of smiles.] Though it feels like it's been way longer than that, honestly. Time flies when you're having fun, right?

[He beams at the camera.]

So tell me about your starters. What was yours? What sort of things have you done together? I dunno, just brag about them if you want. Or we can just talk about whatever, you know I am honestly not too picky. There's just only so long I can appreciate complete silence, personally. But this chair is way too comfy and the breeze feels way too nice to go back inside.

[He's feeling chatty again, apparently. And also lazy. Though what else is new on either of those fronts, really?]

On that note, if you haven't done the elite battle with Blue or Claire to get your S.S. Anne pass, I highly recommend doing so. Just saying. Totally worth it.

John!!

Rosie spent my first three weeks in this world teaching me how to use the Pokégear, the various potions and the cash registers at work. Perhaps I should thank her with a cruise of our own.

[Because the MVP of his team kinda deserves it.]

I think you are just a hair sentimental, but I'm not judging.

[He shifts his gear so John can see Squarewave, perched in his usual place atop Dirk's head.]

You met Squarewave. His specialties are roosting in my hair and being obnoxious. But I guess we get along all right.

Congrats to both of you!! Wow, that's a super duper long time to be here~

[Pipi the Togekiss stands behind her and gives off a happy cry as well.]

Pipi and me have been together for six months, we're never apart and she keeps me warm and safe at night.

[She waited for him to finish his video before approaching, balancing a plate carefully in hand. On said plate are two glasses of what could be champagne but is more likely to be juice of some sort, as well as a few treats for Sassacre and Guile - who is of course following at her heels.]

Happy anniversary you two. [A cup for you, Johh, and Rose is place a few of those treats onto his chest. Guile purrs, giving them each an affectionate nuzzle.]

[well, since you asked]

Sometimes I wonder if whoever or whatever set me up with Rose did it to be a smartass.

["Fairy~" Rose knows her dear partner, who is petting her, doesn't actually mean that.]

[Wow, rude. He totally had all sorts of important things to say there.]

Hi Jake. How's it going?

You should! She would probably appreciate that, there's plenty for Pokémon to do here. It's not just for people. Which...probably goes without saying since that's pretty much the rule of thumb here, isn't it?

So from the sounds of things, you got the perfect partner, huh?

Oh good, if it's just one, single hair then it's all good. That means I am still far away from maximum sap levels.

[He chuckles.]

Yes, I remember Squarewave, hello. [He wiggles his fingers at the bird.] I think that might just be a smaller bird thing though, to tell you the truth. Mister Spock was the same way before he evolved. So was Liv, now that I think about it.

[...Thankfully neither of them still try to do this because Xatu and Altaria are far too big to be perching on heads.]

So maybe Squarewave will too if he wants to evolve.

At this point, I'd be more surprised to learn of human-only activities. Not that she'd let me participate in any; after my little trip a month and a half ago, she's been more protective than usual. It reminds me of her Cleffa days.

Thank you. There are people who have been here even longer than me though! But I am glad that I have stuck around as long as I have.

[John's eyes light up once he catches sight of the Togekiss.]

Ah! Togekiss! Hehe, they're really good at that, aren't they?

[Did you really just put Pokémon treats on his chest, Rose. Really. Really.]

Thank you. [John takes the glass from Rose, holding it up to her and inclining it slightly. Sassacre, meanwhile, is just going to help himself to those treats. Here's to another eventful year.

Hehe, you wouldn't be the first that I have heard something similar from.

[His own Rose and her starter are much the same way.]

I like to think there's a reason for our starters though, even if it's not really obvious. [A beat.] Beyond "doing it for the lulz," I mean. Truthfully I am still not sure exactly what the reason for mine was but I am not complaining because he's a great companion.

[She did. What of it? As she sits down in a chair beside him, she clinks her glass against his gently.]

Indeed. And here's to spending it with you.

Wooow~ You've never been back home, even once?

[And she turns around to gently scratch its head and allow the winged creature to step in front of the camera.]

Mmmhm, so nice and soft. It's like having a blanket.

The first thing I did when I arrived in this world was to ride around on Berserker.

He was still a Rhyhorn at the time, so he wasn't as large and fearsome as he is now, but people still didn't appreciate it much.

[Guess who didn't (still doesn't) care?]

Ahh, I can't say I'm complaining all that much. She's a great partner. I just could do without all the pounding.

[that last line is said with a pointed 'yeah, you' look at Rose, who looks back up with the most angelic face you will ever see]

[Starter appreciation day? There's way too many holidays in this place.]

I have to admit I thought she was a little too... cute, for my tastes at first. But Hachi has proven herself to be quite a loyal companion.

[Minato moved his 'gear, tilting the camera to show off the small Plusle at his side, wearing a white flame tipped cloak and doing some sort of... dance, for the Minun at her side.]

But if they're not training, they're dancing.

[He's rather attached to her now though.]

Keisuke's my starter. Used to be a Chimchar, but he's evolved all the way up to Infernape! He's a pretty awesome fire monkey an' he knows how to kick ass. He's really serious though, so sometimes if you catch him in the wrong mood he'll light your ass on fire especially when he's trainin' 'cause he doesn't like to be disturbed. I think he's got a crush on a girl too, 'cause he's been actin' real strange an' blushy but he won't tell me who she is.

That's nice and all for people whose starters don't hate them.

_{[Ralph, you party pooper.]}

[Someone asking him to show off one of his Pokémon? Domri's up for that.

The feed opens on a Rhydon and a Rampardos sleeping against each other.]

Rubbleback was my starter. He's the one on the left. He was a Rhyhorn when I first met him though. Pretty much the first thing he did when I took him out of his Pokéball was charge a building. He made a really big dent in the wall! He likes smashing stuff. He's been fighting really well at the gyms, too!

Can you really blame her though? [He chuckles a little.] She really must care for you a lot if she's doing something like that.

Though it's always a little funny to hear about really cute Pokémon doing that. My Whimsicott is the same way. I fell into a coma for a month the day she hatched and she's never quite forgiven me for that. In the sense that she thinks I need constant supervision and protection because of it.

Well supposedly I was here once before? But not for very long, like maybe a week from what I understood? I don't remember it though. And I did go into one of those comas last summer but I didn't actually leave leave so I don't know if that counts.

Yeah, a big airplane bird blanket. [John laughs lightly.] Have you had the chance to go flying with her yet?

[It's just slightly funny and absurd, okay.]

Right back at you. [He winks and clinks his glass against hers.] Though you realize we're just going to be saying the same thing in like a week, right? or the third time this month?

Hehehe, really? Her? I dunno man, I have a hard time believing that from looking at that face!

[Sarcasm.png]

[John knows a troublemaker when he sees one but that's mostly because he is one himself. So he really can't judge.]
