You got a good shot on it, Tron? Like you can see the whole thing, right? [There's absolutely no chance that "it" isn't the giant crystal spire growing out of the ground behind John. Or one of them, anyway, Azalea's from the looks of things.]

[As for John himself, he's dressed a little differently than normal and floating high enough in the air to be on level with the top of the tower several yards behind him. Just by looking at the overly large hammer in his hand, it's probably easy enough to guess what he's about to try and do here. At an affirmative sounding buzzing from the camera itself, John flashes a thumbs up and a goofy smile.]

Alrighty then let's do this then! Let's see if I can be a one hit wonder!!

[Laughing, he turns around and zooms closer to his target, pulling his hammer back until he's right in front of the crystal. He swings with perhaps surprising ferocity and with a loud 8ANG! the crystal starts to crack. But wait, that's not all. the force of the impact sets the dice in the back of the hammer spinning and a roulette momentarily appears in midair, spinning wildly. Of course a hammer that ridiculous looking was going to have some kind of gimmick to it. Of course.]

[>16 Sugar High]

[We're not left wondering what that roll could mean for long, luckily. As the crystal continues to crack and shatter from the impact, a strange, sugary transformation takes place. It...it sure is raining rock candy crystal in Azalea now. That's definitely a thing that just happened.]

Hehehe!!! So how was that?! [He turns back to the camera, hefting his hammer over his shoulders.] Pretty sweet, huh?

[John, you and Tron are probably the only two laughing at that...]

[So John was just bopping around Saffron, taking all this weird shit as it came but being completely unaffected by it himself. Well, save for that Castform that he still has no idea where it came from. But aside from that...nada. Until midday on Saturday, that is. Then he suddenly lost consciousness, right there in the middle of the street! Except his body never hit the ground. Instead, it disappeared entirely in a brief, pixellated blip. Needless to say, his Lopunny, Litwick, and Castform are more than a little confused by this. Panicked is probably a better word, to be honest.]

[Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't. Either way, John's pokegear turns on a few minutes later, though it isn't Saffron in the background and the Egbert boy in question seems a little...off. His eyes are a rather shocking electric blue, far brighter than normal, and framed in bubblegum pink glasses. His normally dark hair has lightened to a bright gold, with a large pink lollipop is stuck to in it. Despite the fact that he's in the middle of what appears to be the Ice Path, he's wearing a short-sleeved blue shirt. And while John is typically smiling and generally a pretty happy guy, now his smile seems almost too big for his face. Occasionally, he seems to almost...glitch, his image spontaneously sort of shorting out or pixellating.]

Oh, what's this? The little text box has video too? Neato! Hehehehe. I never would have guessed that I would come back to this weird place again. At least I think this is the same place, I mean this b-- -sa-a-aaame.[Seems his speech is affected by the glitching too, not that he seems to notice.]

Anyhoo! Gotta question for ya'! What does a wicked chi-- ooooo! What's that!?! [Seems he's spotted something just a little ways away, off camera.] Ice creee-e-eee-eaa-am!?

[The gear clatters to the floor, catching a very brief shot of John's weird, hyperactive look-a-like as he dashes towards something floating a few feet away before shutting off.]



[This can only end well... wait a minute. Was that idiot wearing shorts?!]

((ooc: John's gone trickster mode for the rest of the event, responses will come from ctrl_t, unless you want interaction with the left behind pokeymens, in which case it will come from this account as usual.))
