prank #20 | video / action route 34

[The sight greeting you when John's pokegear clicks on today?]



[Yup. That sure is a freshly-hatched Nosepass sitting in the grass in front of John's legs. They have to be John's legs, because who else in Johto wears bright red shoes with flames on them? Seems for once he's filming his own post.]

So that mysterious egg that I asked about a while back finally hatched. I still have no idea where this thing came from, but I am beginning to think that it belonged to someone who is no longer here. But anyway. Yeah it...hatched into a rock. Again. Though I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be a ghost popping out of this one like last time.

Has anyone seen this kind before? It kind of looks like one of those Easter Island heads. And also my dad... Apparently it's like a natural compass or something? The pokedex made it sound pretty nea-- [He cuts off as the Nosepass suddenly starts glowing and making a strange high-pitched whine-like noise. You know, the kind that might be associated with something that's about to blow up.]

Uh...okay, that's weird. Why is it glowing like... [Realization get] Oh fu--

[The feed clicks off as John (presumably) realizes what's about to happen and runs for cover. To anyone on the end of Route 34 near Goldenrod or somewhere near the entrance of said City, you may or may not have just heard a minor explosion. Depends on how far away you are and how good your hearing is.]

((ooc: The egg originally belonged to Clubs Deuce prior to him leaving Johto. It was his Easter egg, hence why it knows Explosion. Yay egg moves. Also, responses will come in a few hours when I get back from visiting my parents))

Are you all right?

Whoa! That thing is so cool! It really does look like a moai! I wonder if --

[And she's sadly too far from Route 34 to hear anything, so she just stares at the cut-off feed, blinking in confusion.] Uh, hello?

[ Rinoa happens to be nearby at the time of the explosion, so she's going to walk over to try and check it out once it seems safe. ]

What was that noise?

[It takes him a few minutes to respond, but once he finally does, he appears to be okay.]

Hehe, yeah, I'm fine! Apparently it's also an exploding rock in addition to a compass rock. But I got away in time, so it's all good!

[After a few minutes, he shows back up on the feed.]

Hi! Sorry about that. It decided that immediately after hatching would be the best time to try and blow up in my face. But yeah, it's kinda neat isn't it?

[Oh, look, a new pokemon for John! Weird looking.

. . . Okay, that was not evolution light.]


John..?
shiromadoushi: (Embarrassed laugh)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2011-07-03 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaa, that's good! That you got away in time, I mean!

I wouldn't have expected a Moai head to explode like that! Is it all right after exploding?

[video]

[identity profile] starving-artist.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, it can do that? Like a... secret moai bomb! Maybe that's what Easter Island was all along...

[When she walks over, she'll be greeted with the sight of a small, dark-haired boy in a black shirt and jeans, examining the rock pokémon from earlier and muttering to himself. The rock is considerably darker-looking now though.]

How is it not knocked out? I thought explosion was supposed to take it out completely... [He jumps a little when she asks the question, turning around quickly. Apparently he hadn't heard her walk up at all.]

Oh. Sorry about that! That was this little guy here exploding. Was it really that loud?

[video]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope. It most certainly was not evolution light.]

Oh, hi Midori! What's up? [Look, he's okay.]

[Video]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was the last thing I expected as well. And funnily enough, it seems to be fine. It's just barely hanging in there though. Which is weird, because Explosion is a one-hit K.O. move. So...it should have fainted from that. I'm sure there was a reason though, I'll just have to figure it out later.

[Sturdy is an amazing ability.]

[identity profile] usedreturn.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
..oh. Oh, my. That was quite the explosion--and I know a lot about explosions, as a matter of fact.

[video]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently it can! But maybe it was what? A secret bomb base or something?
shiromadoushi: (?)

Maybe it's different when it's your pokemon verses a wild one?

[ there's a bit of a giggle coming from the Pokegear. ]

So these things can even explode, huh? Good luck handling it!~

[video]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, yeah it kind of was. Especially for something that just hatched. So are you around explosions a lot then or something?

[Video]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe! Or maybe it wasn't actually Explosion...maybe it was another move that kinda looked like it. Hmm...I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation. Anyway, my name is John, what's yours?

( video )

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe, yeah! Some of them can. I'm sure it will be fine. As long as it doesn't make a habit out of this or something.
shiromadoushi: (Yo!)

Bakura Ryou, nice to meet you!

Can you tell what moves it has when you scan it?

[ this kid does seem a bit familiar though... isn't he Jade's friend or something? ]

Yeah, that definitely would be a problem.

By the way, your name is "John", right?

[identity profile] pokemondolly.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Your pokemon glowing, that's what's up!

[video]

[identity profile] usedreturn.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Well.

Usually they just seem to follow me about, you know. Things explode where I happen to be now and then.

Nice to meet you too, Bakura.

Oh, yes I can do that. Actually, why haven't I done that yet? That's a very good idea, thank you for reminding me. [Give him a minute...switching features and scanning...]

Hm. Looks like it was Explosion. Though apparently he has an ability called Sturdy. Which...sounds like it might have had something to do with it. Huh. Fun stuff.

[video]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, yeah he was! And then he exploded. Fun times were had by all!

[He looks stunned.]

...how did you know that?
