(no subject)
Three more prompts! Just so you know, they contain spoilers, so if you don't know about the pokemon from D/P yet, and you're one of those people who likes to discover them as you play through the game, you may not want to read this.
41. Truth
Ria watched in awe and anticipation at the glowing creature before her. It had been hard work to get the little guy to level up, but it was well worth it now. She didn't even regret the bruises all over her body from the playful headbutt attacks.
Rarely were the agents allowed to keep pokemon or relics they found when on missions, but for some reason, Giovanni had been uninterested in the shield fossil she and Tyson brought back from scouting out Sinnoh. After they had taken it to the lab and gotten Sebastian and Namba to revive the fossil, Tyson hadn't wanted anything to do with it, either. The little Shieldon had been too 'cutesy' for his Team, she assumed, but his excuse had been that at such a low level, he didn't have time for such a thing right now.
So Ria took it.
She was nearly hopping up and down with joy now. She could only imagine what sort of creature adorable little Shieldon would evolve into! Would it be cute? Or would it be beautiful? Certainly a powerhouse, it certainly was getting big...
Her face fell as she stared at the Bastiodon before her. ...where in the hell...what had happened to cute little Shieldon?!!
"...b...bulldozerfaceomon....dammit." she fell to her knees.
Unfortunately, Ria had always been concerned with the cosmetic appeal of her pokemon, and evolution had not been kind to Bastiodon.
76. Devious
" Buson! Hey, Buson, come here for a minute!!"
The blonde whirled around, nearly spilling the armful of potato chips, Ding-Dongs, candy bars and Blah-Blah cola.
" What is that?" Ria arched an eyebrow as she caught up with him. " Lunch?"
" Yeah. Better than eating in the cafeteria." he replied. " Bashou insisted, but I couldn't stand it for three days in a row."
" Oh, so Bashou's not around?" she grinned.
Excellent.
" Well, Buson..." he watched as his team mate made a big show of looking up and down the hallway to make sure no one was listening. "...you're in luck, then."
" Why?"
" Shhh!" she hushed him, and made a come hither motion with her index finger. Considerably taller than Ria, he leaned down until their heads were about the same level. " Do you want to let everyone else in on this oppertunity? They'll step up and try to pull it out from under your feet."
Buson raised his eyebrows.
" So why am I lucky then?" he attempted a whisper.
" Because I'm going to let you in on a little secret." Ria smirked, reaching for her belt and enlarging a pokeball. She twirled it expertly on her finger. " Do you remember my Shieldon?"
" That little squirt you brought back from Sinnoh? Yeah..."
" Well guess what?"
" What?"
" That little squirt evolved."
" Why is that a secret?" he laughed, looking amused. " Pokemon evolve all the time."
" Because, Buson," she suddenly donned a look of despair. " It's so embarrassing...it's the most powerful pokemon I think I've ever encountered! It rivals the strength of a legendary, and I just...I just..." she threw her hand over her forehead and leaned back for dramatic effect. "...I can't control it all by myself!"
Buson frowned. A pokemon so powerful it couldn't be controlled?
" ...really? I can't believe it."
" Well," Ria sided up and leaned into him, "...you know, I'm sure a big, strong man like yourself could control it...maybe. But I'm just so frail and dainty, you know...oh, Buson, how can I face the world with a Bastiodon that won't listen to me?"
As she clutched his jacket, she opened one eye and glanced up and down the hallway once more, just to make sure Bashou wasn't coming.
Buson, meanwhile, puffed out his chest and grinned. Ria's flattery made the fact that she had crushed his Doritos with her chest seem very unimportant.
" Well, you know, you girls really should stick to the Wigglytuff and Raichu. It takes a real man to control a real beast." he flexed his chest muscles for effect.
" Oh, you're absolutely right." she fawned, smiling against his blue shirt. Professor Namba turned the corner, and slowed as he walked past the two of them, casting a very strange look. Buson never saw it past his ego, though, and Ria had no opinion of Namba anyways. " I was hoping you would say that...because Buson, I wanted to ask you a favor." she suggested, once the professor was gone.
" Hmmm?" Buson arched an eyebrow at her comment, then grinned. " I think I know what's coming."
" I want you to trade your Skarmory for my Bastiodon." she pulled back to look at him, green eyes as big and beautiful as she could make them.
All candy and chips fell to the floor. Ria picked a few orange crumbs off of her shirt as Buson stared at her, sunglasses sliding down his nose as his mouth hung open.
"...whut?" he was stupified.
Skarmory? He couldn't trade Skarmory...all the memories....no way.
" Come on, Buson."
" No way." he vocalized his thoughts.
" Listen here," she pulled on his jacket again, whispering into his ear. " Buson...I think this could be a great thing for both of us. There's no way I can control a Bastiodon all by myself. And you could improve your image, what with such a macho pokemon in exchange for a...well..."
" Well what?"
" It's nothing...just that...I've only ever seen women training Skarmory. It's so pretty and all..."
He pulled out Skarmory's pokeball and looked at it. Was that really true? Now that he thought about it, he couldn't think of another guy he knew that had a Skarmory.
" Buson," Ria continued. "...a pokemon this powerful is really worth your Skarmory AND your Muk. Maybe even more. Not to mention how popular you'll be, considering how rare pokemon from that region are in Kanto. No trainer will be prepared to go against you in battle. But because you're my friend, because I care about you...I want to help you out, buddy."
Buson stared at the pokeball again. It wasn't like he would never see Skarmory again. Hell, he saw Ria on an almost daily basis...
78. Shame
Buson whined in the corner. His partner stared disapprovingly at the ugly lug before them.
" Bastiodon, return." Buson called it back.
" I'm not even gone for an hour, and you give your prize pokemon away for that." Bashou snapped.
" She's so convincing." the blonde defended.
" She's so trampy. Come on." he grabbed Buson by the wrist. " We're going to go get your Skarmory back right now."
Yeah. I really don't like the way some of the new pokemon look >.>
