prank #21 | action for violet city/video


[Action for anywhere in Violet City; Around noon]


[Hello Violet city. Having a nice day? Say, have you ever seen a seven foot tall ghost before? No? Well today's your lucky day then, because there's one (a Dusknoir to be exact) floating down the street this very moment. Should you happen to be walking toward this lazily floating spectre, you might not notice anything odd at first. Though if you look at its "collar" you'll see a set of human hands grasping each side of it.]

[Strange.]

[If you stand still and continue watching, letting the ghost float past you, however, the hands will make sense as you will be greeted with the following sight:]




[Yes, this is apparently the Dusknoir equivalent of a piggyback ride, and John is having the time of his life...even though it really isn't moving any faster than he could walk on his own. In fact, it might actually be moving slower.]

[Approach? He'll just be floating around for a while and doesn't appear to be too terribly busy.]

[Video Transmission; some time later...probably about 30 minutes to an hour.]

[When the feed clicks on, the image is very dark. Like, really dark. The only thing you can actually, sort-of see is John's face. And that's only because the dim light of the pokegear screen is reflecting off of his face. It's causing some major glare issues with his glasses, so you can't really see his eyes. However, he has what is quite possibly the biggest, most excited, grin ever on his face.]

Hey, did anyone know that the zig-zag pattern on Dusknoir's body is actually some kind of mouth? [A stifled, giggling noise.] Guess where I am right now?

[The feed clicks off.]

((ooc: Since the second one can technically also be action, please specify which scenario you're doing if you're going the action route. Thanks! :D))

Yup! This is its last stage. It evolves into Dusclops at level thirty-seven and then if you have a Reaper Cloth and someone to trade with, you can evolve it again. Fortunately, once you make it to Goldenrod city you can easily get one of those at the department store there. [So. Very. Worth it. John wishes he had started training him sooner.]

[Yes...that part would be nice. So long as they don't leave.] Must be.

Aaa, good to know! Shinigami's only level 11, so he'll have a while to go before that, so I'll be sure to have that ready for him when he gets there!

Good idea. And I'm sure the rest of those levels will pass by in no time. Does the name "Shinigami" mean anything, by any chance? It sounds kinda cool.

A shinigami is a death god. [[looks almost sheepish to admit. It's not his most creative name...]]

Really? Neat! That's a good name for a Duskull then. The do kind of look uncannily like mini Grim Reapers. [It's okay. Only one of John's pokémon has a name that can be considered creative. Not exactly his forte.]

They really do! It's really cool! The ghost pokemon here are pretty amazing! [[hugs Amane at that]]

Hehe, I would have to agree wholeheartedly there! They're pretty much the best type there is. How many do you have, then?
shiromadoushi: (Embarrassed laugh)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2011-08-05 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Six of them so far! In addition to Amane-chan [[nods to the one in his arms]] Fuushi is a Drifloon, Gollum's a Sableye, Dama's a Gastly, Kage's a Shuppet and then there's Shinigami. [[a grin]]

Nice! I have five myself. A Haunter, a Drifblim, a Rotom, a Spiritomb, and then Elliot here. [A nod to the Dusknoir.] I used to have a Shuppet, but he was a gift for a friend, so I don't have him anymore. It's nice to finally meet someone else who appreciates ghost types!

Heee, that's a pretty impressive line up!

And the same here! Even here, most people don't seem to be to fond of them, so it really is nice!

Thanks!

Yeah, that's mostly what I have seen too. But I guess it's just hard for some people to change their opinions on them even if they're a little different here than they are in other places. Ghost pokémon really aren't all that scary looking at all! Some of them are actually pretty cute.
shiromadoushi: (Small smile)

[Action] Somehow I thought I replied already WHOOPS.

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2011-08-12 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Some of them are still pretty ghostly looking! [[Which is a very cool thing!]] I guess no matter where you are, some people just don't like anything creepy.
