ghostytrainer | prank #10 | video / action for route 32

[The video feed clicks on at three o'clock in the morning, a curious looking Eevee's face taking up the screen. She nudges the camera with her nose a bit, as though trying to straighten the camera. She then disappears off-screen, revealing a lovely nighttime view of route 32. A little ways away stand two human figures, accompanied but a Gastly which appears to be in the middle of a battle. The image is kind of wobbly and low to the ground, indicating that, once again, a pokémon has gotten a hold of his or her trainer's pokegear. Since one of the trainers is clearly John (for those of you who know him), it should be fairly obvious who the pokémon operating the camera is. ~~Hint: it isn't Sassacre.~~]

Night Shade again, Slimer.

[John doesn't sound nearly as enthusiastic as usual. This is one of the side effects of being dragged out of your hotel room at 9pm and being forced into a non-stop grinding session. Rose, you are a slave driver.]

[Slimer however, seems to be pretty enthusiastic still (probably because he's only been the focus of this training session for the past forty five minutes or so) and obliges, finishing his opponent with glee.]

Wooo! That was good. Okay...can we go back to the hotel now, Rose? Are we done here yet?

I'm not certain, John. Has Slimer evolved yet?

...No.

I believe you have answered your own question then.

[There are a few Buneary and Eevee equivalents of giggles from nearby off-screen as John gives Rose a look that says something along the lines of "Are you serious?!" In return, Rose gives him one that says "Quite, now get a move on." Realizing that he's fighting a losing battle here, John groans and begins shuffling through the grass in search of another random wild pokemon for Slimer to defeat. Notebook in hand, Rose follows after him, eager to add more strategies to the growing list on the pages of her notebook.]

((OOC: Video tags will get a response from John, Rose, or both once Slimer has finally evolved. Rose is determined to have John level-grind until his pokémon are strong enough to take on the gym, he's not allowed to answer the 'gear till she's satisfied.))

[Slimer thinks that's pretty funny, Phantom. Thumbs up and laughter!]

That's one of the reasons why they're my favorite type! Well, I only have one but still. I wouldn't object to more ghost-types. I don't think we've met before, my name is-- [At this point, Slimer decides that his master is just talking too much and he's getting bored with shoving his face and being ignored. So he sticks his fingers in the corners of John's mouth and pulls back. Unfortunately, his master was still trying to talk so his speech is a little impaired by this.] --Jahn.

[He looks unamused despite the fact that his face is pulled into a really awkward smile.]

Shlimer...tryin' haffa confersation here.

I've got two, but Phantom's the only one that--

[This is boring. It's no fun when he takes things like a man.

So, Phantom's going to tug him backwards by his hair. This time, Riku nearly does drop the Gear, but he manages to catch it before it hits the ground.]

...pulls stuff like this. And if you think this is bad, you should've seen him when he terrorized the Department Store.

[Yes. Yes, he should have! Phantom rubs his hands together, nodding.]

Anyway, name's Riku.

[Swat, swat! He really can't carry on a conversation like this, Slimer. Stop it!]

[Nope! Not stopping! At least not until he's pulled John's mouth into a smile and a frown and then a smile again. John hold up a pokéball and points at it, annoyed. Slimer gets the message, the threat of being put back in that tiny little ball is really the only thing he listens to. It's really not as much fun in there as it is outside.]

It's nice to meet you, Riku. Now that I can actually talk right again, my name is John. Not...whatever I said before. But what'd he do to the Department Store, if you don't mind me asking?

Edited 2011-03-21 01:14 (UTC)

[Now there's an idea. However, instead of just relying on the Pokéball, Riku gives Phantom a serious look, placing a hand on his hip.]

If you don't cut this out, you're going back in the PC. You got that?

[And, just like that, Phantom sliiinks away. What a party pooper!]

Now that that's taken care of... When he went into the Department Store, he kept on hiding behind shelves and popping out of the floor. Basically, he went around every floor scaring the pants of of people.

Oh wow, that does sound like a mess. Luckily this one hasn't done anything that bad yet. [When he turns his head to look at the offending Haunter, he's greeted by an absolutely gleeful smile. Slimer approves of your shenanigans, Phantom. He feels the need to do something equally as amazing.] Slimer no! Don't get any ideas.

Not yet, anyway. I'd keep my eyes on him, if I were you. Now that he's evolved, he'll be able to do a lot more than float around.

[He shakes his head. Hands make a huge difference, and the fact that they're detached is part of the reason why Phantom refuses to become a Gengar.]

Oh I will, trust me. He somehow managed to switch the labels on bottles without hands, so I shudder to think what he can do now that he has them. I'm still trying to figure out how he managed that...

[It is a mystery that will elude him forever. He suspects shenanigans were involved. Slimer's just laughing because, oh man he got his master good that time!]

Switched the labels?

[...heh. That's a bit simple, but Riku's guessing that the result were rather amusing, if nothing else.]

Must've taken him a while.

Yeah, on cough medicine. You know how there's nighttime stuff that makes you drowsy and then there's the other stuff that doesn't? He switched the labels on them. It wasn't the best prank, but it was impressive that he managed to do it without hands.

[Slimer disagrees. It was an awesome prank. Master's just bitter because he fell for it.]

Edited 2011-03-21 23:56 (UTC)

And let me guess... you fell for it.

[Nope, sorry, John. He already guessed from the explanation.]

He might've used his mouth to do it... or got the bottles to levitate somehow. Wouldn't surprise me.

...yes. [That's really all there is to say on the matter. Does he look ashamed? Yes he looks a little ashamed. In his defense, he WAS sick.]

[Man, that stinks. Riku gives John a sympathetic look, shrugging.]

Well, at least your didn't end up soaked like I did. Phantom tricked my Feraligatr into carrying a bucket of water over to my bed, and he ended up spilling it all over me and my Charizard.
