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! )

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?

[armoredsoul]

Well, Jack's a psychic type, but he's also...a cat. I'm not sure how well that would go over.

[wing_attack]

... Oh. What about Rin? What does he have on him?

[pinnedbangs]

Uhm, Mickey's an electric-type but sending him out there would be pretty bad. He's no where near a level high enough to take on all of 'em.

[Mickey, Rin's teeny dedenne, pokes its head from out of its hiding spot in Rin's shirt. It makes a quick sound of terrified disapproval before hiding away again.]

[wing_attack]

What about ice or rock? Even if you have stuff that's just high level it might be able to thin the flock. If they see you mean business and are strong enough, you should be fine.

[pinnedbangs]

[...Uhm.]

I only have Mickey.

[wing_attack]

What, like... at all?

[Rin.]

[pinnedbangs]

Poochy didn't want to come along and T-Bone ate something dumb so he couldn't come anyway!

[DON'T GIVE HIM THAT LOOK.]

[wing_attack]

What if Mickey fainted? What would you do then?

[pinnedbangs]

Even if it meant that I would get hurt, I wouldn't let Mickey battle with a higher level opponent. I'll get out there and fight it myself.

[wing_attack]

... That might actually scare them off, since I don't think they're used to humans battling.

[pinnedbangs]

You're saying I should do that now?

[armoredsoul]

[UM.]

Rin, I really don't think that's a good idea...

[pinnedbangs]

Why not? Don't worry, Al! I'll be fine!

[wing_attack]

Don't - don't do it so fast. Be careful!

[What has he done?]

[armoredsoul]

No you won't, they'll peck you into pieces! Let's leave charging out and hoping they get scared enough to leave as a last resort, okay?

[pinnedbangs]

[...y u gotta be logical]

. . . Fine. But if it comes to that, you better duck, man.

[wing_attack]

Duck, or Psyduck?

[That was a terrible joke and he knows it, but Marco's not here so someone has to do it.]

[armoredsoul]

[Because SOMEONE runs on shonen logic, and we're not in an anime anymore!] I will!

[He wrinkles his nose at the pun. Wow. Wow.] Boooooooooo.

[wing_attack]

[He just laughs at that. Sorry, Al.]
