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.]

[ While at first she would have come over to commend you on your efforts towards gaining all the levels, after that little scene Vriska is instead very very very disappointed. ]

John! You're never going to become champion if you're going to let your pokemon walk all over you!!!!!!!!

[action] doot doot, other account has a more appropriate icon~

[He will never gain all the levels. He is lucky enough to have the few levels that he does.]

I'm not letting her walk all over me! She's just...stubborn!

[Yeah no, Flighty Broad has totally made him her bitch, there's no denying that.]

[action] hahaha :V

[ This face is not convinced in this statement. ]

Whatever she's doing, it's unacceptable! You can't give in like that!

Okay...from now on I am completely in control of my pokémon. Yep. I am the master, it's me.

[He just lets all the bitches girls walk all over him, doesn't he?]

Much better! That's what I like to hear!
Are these your only pokemon, John?

[ Poooooooor John. ]

[He beams, yay for making Vriska proud!]

Well no, but you've met Tripp. And...other than him and these three I've only got Slimer. [He thinks for a second.]

Did I not show you him though? I caught him on the way here but I guess I never got around to actually showing anyone. Plus he's kind of an asshole so I try to keep him in his pokéball.

[He pulls the the offending pokéball out of his pocket.]

Keyword there being try. He still manages to get out sometimes...

[Toss. Out pops a Gastly! For an asshole, he looks pretty innocent.]

So yeah. That's him.

That's... a little better! But I've fought these things before and yours seems pretty tame!
You're too easy on them!!!!!!!!

[The Gastly disappears in a flash of light. John had recognized the look on Slimer's face as the one he got when he was eying something that he thought looked particularly lickable. And John really didn't want to deal with the aftermath of that.]

Well what am I supposed to do? Be some kind of pokémon slave driver?

[ Vriska is too busy scolding John to pay any attention to the shenanigans of this mischievous ghost! ]

Don't think of it like that! You definitely need to show them who's boss though!

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-02-20 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Right, I guess I'll work on that.

[Will he really? Probably not, but agreeing with Vriska is always the best option.]

So are you out here training too then?

That's exactly what I was doing!

[ She releases a couple pokeballs, revealing her ariados and zubat ]

We'll never be able to challenge the gym leader if they stay weak as they are.

Well from what I saw on the way up here your Ariados is anything but weak. Though, since this gym leader uses flying types I can see why you'd want to train him more.

[identity profile] 8luh8luh.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
That's right! He's okay, I guess, if I'm going to stick to battling these things. We're in no shape for that gym leader though! Soul Eater Evans gave me a houndour egg and it'll be a big help once it hatches!

I'm sure you'll be ready to take on the gym in no time. I mean, you're Vriska, not only will you wipe the floor with the gym leader, but you will have all the levels. All of them. And that was nice of Soul...but what's a Houndour?

[action]

[identity profile] 8luh8luh.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, naturally! But I don't get all the levels by slacking off, got it? So I'm not going to let you either!
It's a fire pokemon! Bet it'll be a big help when I challenge the leader.

Got it! [Thumbs up.] I will try my best not to slack off.
