tentacletrainer | Chapter 33; Accidental Video

[[Today, when the gear turns on, you get a lovely view of the sky and the calming sounds of water nearby. It's a beautiful day, for those of you not outside.

This serene setting is broken by a squeal from a Pokemon and a splash, then all falls quiet and calm again.

It's a few minutes before you hear something again. This something being another splash. And then on screen appears a Dratini with a quite pathetically wiggling Magikarp in it's mouth.

With a happy chirp it disappears off camera again, only to return a few moments later to rub all over the 'gear. And then off it goes. There's a squeal, a splash, and a few minutes later the familiar sight of this Dratini with another Magikarp, struggling in it's grasp. It disappears, it reappears to smother the Pokegear, rinse, wash, repeat.

This show goes on for some time, until finally - during one of its rubbing sessions - it stops and looks up. And then it simply begins to trill in excitement. Almost like if it doesn't make noise, it'll explode. It's also wiggling.

There is so much wiggling from this Dratini.]]

...V-vodka...what are you doing?

[[It seems this Dratini is none other than Vodka Derptini - also lovingly known as John - belonging to resident Rose Lalonde. And said trainer has found the little dragon Pokemon.

She appears momentarily on screen, picking up the 'gear, before turning to look at...oh.

It seems all those Magikarp the little wiggling dragon type had been collecting are in quite the pile of flopping. Meanwhile, the aforementioned culprit of this karp congregation is sitting next to said heap, wiggling as if waiting for praise.

Apparently those fish are a gift for his trainer.]]

...That's...very nice of you, John. Thank you very much. How sweet.

[[A few pats to the Dratini's head, followed by a multitude of elated chirps, lilts, warbles and purls, and the 'gear is shut off.]]

[Vriska peers skeptically at the pile of fish, and toes one with her boot.]

Great. It's a pile of useless flopping fish.

[Kinda reminds her of a certain dead friend. Useless and flopping.]

Quite the hoard, isn't it? In their defense, they do evolve into quite the impressive Pokemon. However yes, they are generally useless and do nothing but flop.

[[She will just watch Vriska toe one, then sort of do so as well with a different one.]]

Quite. Your blue slithery thing seems to like them. Do they not die on land?

[After all they've just been flopping. Vriska's resisting the urge to kick one.]

I think he was more trying to impress me. I don't now if he actually has a fondness for them or not. And seeing as they can be used in battle I would assume not...they're not quite dead yet, after all.

I guess that makes sense. It would be pretty difficult to battle if you had to find water every time.

[She glances down at them again, and does kick one of them, back into the water. It flails around for a second before swimming away.]

Hmmmmmmmm........

Careful not to let yourself be caught kicking Pokemon. The authorities don't appreciate it much.

[[Watching the Magikarp she sent back into the water, she tilts her head.]]

Hmm?

[Authorities, Hah!]

Oh, no one's going to catch me.

[After a moment she takes a couple steps back and pulls out an empty Pokéball to throw. It hits one of the Magikarp, wiggles back and forth, then opens and releases the fish again.]

What!? Why didn't that work!? Stupid fish!

You will likely need to lower it's health first. As useless as they are, Pokeballs still have troubles catching them if they're at full strength.

[Right........]

I know that!

[First rule of any game really. All right then, go Marquise. The Skorupi will take care of this.]

Poison Sting!

[Welp, there's a whole pile of them. So Marquise is going to sting the lot of them.]

[[Rose, meanwhile, will quietly observe. And feel bad for those poor Magikarp.]]

A Skorupi? Your starter, I take it?

[[Don't mind her if she's a little skittish around the scorpion Pokemon. She hasn't had the best of experiences with them.]]

[Oh my, what happened with Rose and scorpion Pokemon.]

Not even. My starter was the Spider one, naturally.[Eye roll] Spinneret the Spinarak.

[Marquise stands back quite pleased once she's finished poisoning the poor lot of fish. All in a days work.]

[[Something that involved a lot of exploding Pineco, divebombing Yanma and oh so violent Skorupi. That was the most unpleasant travel they had, and she prefers not to remember the incident.]]

Ah, of course. Very good choice, as well. Your Ariados was one to be rivaled. Falkner fell to her, and her alone.

[[Those poor fish. At least, however, Vriska should be able to capture one.]]

[Poor Rose.]

Did he now? [That grin. Plans are already being formed.] Of course he did. My Pokémon have all the levels all of them.

[Marquise did good Trainer. Stop talking, and pay attention. All these flopping fish are ready for your catching convenience.]

[[Yeah that wasn't fun. And then soon after that there was Sober Gamzee and man that entire month just sucked and she likes to pretend it never existed, yup.]]

Indeed. It was very, very impressive. I'm sure your Skorupi and Spinneret will be just as.

Of course they will!

[Speaking of awesome things. The exact opposite is sitting over there slowly losing it's health points. Now's her chance. Once more she throws a Pokéball at the pile, capturing the first one it lands on inside.]

You are miiiiiiiine, useless thing. Hahahahahahahaha!
