ghostytrainer | prank #5 | video / action

[Since John was finally starting feel a little better (his voice was still a little messed up but hey, at least that cough was finally gone) he decided that this was as good a time as any to do a little training with the Wooper Dave gave him last week.

So he's on route 32, standing in a patch of grass with a disheartened look on his face. His Dunsparce is sitting on his head looking derpy as usual and his Buneary is rolling around happily in the grass a few inches away. Apparently he still doesn't fully understand the concept of keeping all his pokémon in their pokéballs.]

[His Wooper though...is supposed to be fighting a Mareep, although that's not what's happening.]

Rose, please...use mud shot.

[The Wooper ignores him with a very bored look on her face. This has been going on for the past five minutes, even the wild Mareep isn't sure what to make of this at this point.]

Rose...pleeeaaaassseeeee. I am begging you. Do...something! Anything!

[Woop. She is so bored by all of this. John is past the stage of disheartened now and now entering the realm of utter soul-wrenching despair.]

...Flighty Broad...Please. Use. Mud shot.

[The Wooper complies, and then continues the rest of the fight without her master's direction as he had sunk to his knees in defeat. It's really tough to say whether there has been a victory here or not.]

Your Pokemon isn't listening to you? That's strange.

I know, right? She has two names but...she doesn't always respond to one of them...

Well, I guess they feel the same way as we do about names. I mean, you would't be want to be called by another name, would you?

Well my friend named her...and he gave her both names. But one of them is really mean and I don't like calling her that.

[Dave is an asshole, business as usual.]

Huh. I'm guessing the mean one is "Flighty Broad"?

...What does that even mean?

Yeah, that's the one.

A flighty broad is a girl who's frivolous and maybe the tiniest bit crazy. Basically, it's an insult.

That's a strange insult...Ive never heard someone call a girl that before.

Well, this may sound odd, but maybe she likes it? Maybe she thinks it means something else. Do Pokemon understand our language, anyways?

Well it's kind of a dated expression. I think. My friend uses it for ironic purposes, I'm sure.

And I think on some level they have to understand us. I mean, they respond when we give talk to them don't they?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they do. They recognize their names, don't they?

For the most part, yeah. [He gives Flighty Broad a very pointed look, to which she responds by yawning and ignoring him. Ugh!]

Oh, my name's John by the way! I don't think we've met before.

Oh, nice to meet you, John. The name's Sissel.

Have you been in Johto long?

Nice to meet you too!

I've been here... [It takes him a moment to think about this. Man, it seems like it's been forever!] ...about a month now, I think. How about you?

Around a few weeks, I think. I haven't been keeping track, honestly...

[Mostly because he can't read a calender to save his life. ;_;]
