Ninth Transmutation | [video/action for Safari Zone???] brb re-enacting first episode of Pokemon

[armoredsoul]

[The feed opens to a panning view from what could be a mountaintop if the plain below wasn't so close. There are plenty of Pokemon around, a few Geodude and Graveler rolling down the craggy hill and past a barrier in the distance a group of grazing Ryhorn and Tauros can be seen.]

[The camera turns around to Al's grinning face, a tiny little Aron perched cheerfully on his shoulder.] The Safari Zone is so awesome! I've never seen so many different Pokemon in one place, and the environments are amazing! If you've been wondering about coming, you should definitely check it out!

[He's about to continue before there's a sudden yelp and the sounds of rocks being dislodged by hasty movements, and Al looks over curiously.] Rin, what's going--what did you do?!

I didn't do anything! [Something brown and blurry shoots past, and Alphonse quickly takes off as well, the camera jostling before the feed cuts out.]

---

[A short while later another post goes up, this one shot from the inside of a small alcove of rock and showing Al, Rin, and the little Aron huddled closely together. Angry cries of 'Spear! Spear!' go off in the background, and neither boy looks very happy.]

Uh...anyone have any tips for getting a flock of Spearow to leave you alone?


( ooc: Al and Rin will be replying separately to responses! )

[This boy might. Roxas has lots of birds.]

Use food, attacks they are weak against, or wait till nighttime! Or ask someone nearby to rescue you.

[armoredsoul]

I already tried tossing out bait, and I don't have any Pokemon with me that have the right moves. [Of all the days to leave Eddie back at the hotel...] They won't really keep trying to attack us until nighttime, will they?

[seasaltkey]

They're really stubborn. You gotta wait till they get tired out.

[Oh god what is it with people on the Network this week and having incidents like this-]

Electric, Ice, or Rock type would prolly be the best, if you've got one!

[Jimmy's encountered swarms before, just...not Spearow swarms. Noibat, yes. Spearow- not so much.]

If that doesn't work, maybe you could try being really still and quiet? They might get tired of trying to get at you and leave!

[armoredsoul]

[Al was just a by-stander, okay? He did nothing wrong!]

No luck on the Pokemon. I left my strong ones of those types at the hotel before coming here...they seem really mad, though, I don't know if they'll give up any time soon.

[awesmazings]

[Hmm...]

What happened that got 'em so mad, anyway?

[As unfortunate as it is, he almost finds himself hoping they were provoked somehow...especially since he and Molly plan on visiting soon. He doesn't want them to just get randomly divebombed by Spearow.]

Rin...

[ he doesn't even know what to say about this. But he has an idea or two. ]

what part of the Safari Zone are you two at?

[armoredsoul]

We're up in the Peak area...sorry about this, Yukio.

Video > action?

[in_praetego]

[ he doesn't reply because he's too busy hauling ass to get to the peak area. Actually, you probably won't hear anything from him until a good ten minutes later when... ]

Pikari, use thunder wave! Kasumi, use powder snow when you can!

[ And here comes the cavalry. See, Rin? He's even taking into consideration the fact you'd yell at him fir unnecessary spearow frying. The attacks he's having his Glaceon and Ampharos use are minimal to say the least: enough to either scare away the flock rather than damage them completely.

He's still trying to thin out the crowd when he starts calling for his companions though. ]

Rin? Al? Are you two alright?

[Video]

[wing_attack]

[... Um.]

That depends what you did to annoy them.

[armoredsoul]

I think Rin disturbed some nests by accident... [Al glances up to look at the angrily swooping swarm.] They don't look like they're gonna calm down any time soon.

[wing_attack]

Oh, shit.

[Yeah that... that's bad.]

They're not likely to get distracted by much of anything. ... Do you have any Pokemon that might be able to get them to listen to an apology? And to let them know that it was an accident?

[death_glare]

They wouldn't be attacking if there wasn't a significant reason to.

[ He's addressing both boys but giving an extra side-glare at Rin. ]

[armoredsoul]

[Al knows he wasn't at fault, but winces anyways.] I know, but we don't mean them any harm! It was an accident.

[death_glare]

The Spearows obviously are not aware of that fact. You may have your hands full for quite some time. I suggest being more careful next time.

[pinnedbangs]

[YOU WANNA FIGHT HIM]

I didn't do anything, dammit!

[RIN, NOW IS NOT THE TIME.]

[video]

[solas_ion]

Take it from me.

Run fast. Run far. Do not look behind you.

[armoredsoul]

There's not much of anywhere else to run to at this point...

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Oh no!]}

Hide. Hide and pray.

[armoredsoul]

I'm not sure I have anyone to pray to... [It was pissing off the Pokemon that got them into this mess, so Arceus is out, and the Gate...lmao no.]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[WELL, THIS MADE ENVY'S DAY.]

[He's clearly been laughing for a bit already when he does actually respond, it's clear in his voice.]

Nothing you can do! You're stuck there forever.

[And now excuse him while he just starts losing it again. SO HELPFUL.]

[armoredsoul]

Oh, fuck you! At least I don't go hiding in broom closets from bad dreams!

[Sorry, was that not something you wanted Al knowing about? TOO BAD.]

video;

[ossifragant]

[Ohh, shit.

That's not good at all.]

I'd run if I were you.

[armoredsoul]

Not much place left to run...they've got us pinned in here pretty well, unless we want the tar pecked out of us.

[pinnedbangs]

Whaddya think we've been doin'?
