Tenth Transmutation | [video/action for Shark House] These are not the Rockets you're looking for...

[armoredsoul]

[When Al flips the feed on, he looks rather perturbed. He opens and closes his mouth several times, trying to find a way to start this whole thing a few times before silent ly shaking his head and turning the Gear around.]

[On the lawn of a certain rowdy house in Goldenrod sands a lone Golurk of unusual coloring. It is waiting patiently, and from behind the screen Al gives a signal. For a moment, everything is still...and then something starts rumbling. The Golurk shakes as if something is rattling around inside until--]

[Lifdoff.]

[The camera tracks it's slow progression up and over the house, rising like some ridiculous mecha out of an 80's anime, before Al whips the Gear back around to his incredibly distressed face.]

Why can it learn Fly?!

[It's been two weeks and he is still not over this.]

Oh. That IS very strange, then.

[Technically no weirder than a Fairy-type learning almost nothing but Grass moves, she supposes, but at least Ruby sort of LOOKS like she'd have Grass typing. This thing didn't look particularly like an airship until it actually took off.]

...Can I ask what made you think to try teaching it, then? Flying has to be taught, doesn't it?

[armoredsoul]

I was...a little desperate at the time. I was stuck out in the woods with next to no camping gear, and it was starting to snow. I didn't have any of my flying types with me, but I did have the HM, so I just...tried to teach it to everyone I had.

[in4apounding]

It's very lucky you had it, then!

[Strange, but lucky.]

...what type IS it? I don't think I've seen one before.

[armoredsoul]

Yeah...small miracles, I guess.

Oh, he's Ground and Ghost type. Which makes this whole thing even weirder, honestly.

[Why can a Ground type learn Fly this goes against every bit of logic ever.]

[in4apounding]

Maybe it's the Ghost half, then? Ghosts usually float in stories, don't they?

[They're also usually not giant robots, but DETAILS.]

[armoredsoul]

Maybe...? Floating and flying aren't quite the same, but I guess that's just splitting hairs.

[in4apounding]

Maybe it's really extreme floating?

[She's as lost as you are here, Al.]
