14;; [Video + Action for Goldenrod]

[little_anchor]

BUGS! BUGS EVERYWHERE!

[Luffy looks like a kid in a candy store. He's way too excited to be out in this swarm, and his body may regret it later, but he's got his trusty Ambipom at his side and they're ready for the most hardcore battle of this little bug-catcher's life.]

I'M GONNA CATCH A HUNDRED OF THEM!

[Or die trying. Feel free to catch him

[piccolo_tomate]

[He can see the boy from the safety of the indoors. He can see how much fun he was having, despite the crazy bugs. Well, Romano could have fun too!

...Somehow...] Only a hundred? That's not a big number at all!

[video]

[little_anchor]

[He grins.]

But I need more pokéballs if I wanna catch more!

[Not that he has a hundred but it feels like it.]

[video]

[piccolo_tomate]

[Too bad he believes Luffy does have 100 pokéballs...]

I have one hundred and fifty pokéballs. [Lies, all of them. But he doesn't want to be left out.]

Th-Then go catch something, damn it! I bet you couldn't get them anyway.

[video]

[little_anchor]

[Luffy will easily believe that too. He gasps at him.]

YOU HAVE ALL THOSE POKÉBALLS AND YOU DIDN'T CATCH ANY OF THE BUGS?! You're still in Goldenrod, right? COME CATCH BUGS WITH ME!

[video] 1/3

[piccolo_tomate]

Wh-What am I going to do with a bunch of bugs anyway?!

[WHAT NONSENSE LUFFY SPEAKS! AS IF ROMANO WANTS TO ACTUALLY RUN AROUND OUTSIDE AND CATCH BUGS PLEASE]

[video]

[piccolo_tomate]

[It was too late now to mention that he had maybe five pokéballs on him, but he didn't care. Much.]

Damn, you really are some kind of idiot. ...And so what if I am still in Goldenrod?

[video] 3/3

[piccolo_tomate]

[B-But Luffy was inviting him to hang out. Well, go catch bugs and other stupid things, but that was beside the point. Someone about his age wanted to play... Romano tried to keep his excitement to a minimum.]

Since I am in Goldenrod, I may as well come and catch bugs with you, b-but only because I have nothing better to do!

[video] ...that is the cutest icon combo

[little_anchor]

[Luffy just grins like the idiot he is.]

Where are you? I can run over!

[video] it came from a cute comic ;w;

[piccolo_tomate]

[To tell or not to tell... Romano puts on his brave face and sits up straight.]

I'm at the inn, damn it. Where the hell are you? [And as he says this he gathers his pokéballs and pokémon and starts walking to the lobby.]

[video] a-awww~~

[little_anchor]

I'll run over there! I'm by the train tracks! [And he'll be bolting over there now.]

[video] -> [action?] yes~ wanna link?

[piccolo_tomate]

[He's running down the stairs and skidding into the lobby. He was going to play outside, bugs be damned. Even if Luffy seemed like an idiot, he was an idiot who wanted to play.]

That moron better come soon... [He took a few hesitant steps outside, into the swarm. He made sure Virgilio was out of his pokeball and by his side.]

[action] sure!

[little_anchor]

[And Luffy runs right up to the lobby and over to Romano. He's a little out of breath, but he looks pretty excited to go out with his new friend.]

HI! You ready?

[action]

[piccolo_tomate]

[He sizes up the other boy -- it looked like that kid on the gear and he seemed safe enough. Romano walked on ahead of him.]

I'm ready! With how long it took you to get here, I bet all the bugs ran away home! [But he was excited as well.]

[ooc: here ya go!]

[action]

[little_anchor]

They didn't all run away! There are a bunch outside!

[And Luffy just grins and begins to run ahead.] Come on, come on! We gotta catch a lot of them!

[[ooc: Thank you! :3]]

[action]

[piccolo_tomate]

[aaaaaaah he has to run to keep up with Luffy - curse his smaller height] I'm coming, damn it! Wait! Wait for me!!

[action]

[little_anchor]

[Oh right, Luffy's not running with people who can outrun him anymore. He stops running so Romano can catch up.] Come on, come on!
