3 || Used Extreme Speed! [Video post / Action for Violet City]

[waiwaiku]

[...You've probably seen Kintarou feeling down everywhere around Violet City ever since he found out that Kura and Kenya left without saying a word. HMPH! They could have said something before they left! Growlithe has had much cheering up to do and it's been great at it, really, though all it had to do was kiss its trainer's face... Yes, cheering

[L recognizes Kintarou and remembers that they'd been mutually interested in a tennis match... but the sight of that huuuuge Arcanine kind of causes him to back off a bit. He hovers nearby, looking like he wants to talk to the young man but is a little nervous about getting too close to the big doglike pokemon.

Part of this might be because he's always been a bit nervous around dogs. Another part might be because his wing-girl is a Froslass, and probably not terribly well suited for a scuffle with a big fire-type.]

[Kintarou is leaning his back on the Arcanine while he's busy with his gear. The huge dog licks its trainer's face.]

Pfff, stop that. I'm trying to get those riding instructions and show you to the whole Johto.

[Arcanine stops and sees L standing there when it starts looking around. Now, was that friendly behavior from this huge dog just for its trainer? At least Arcanine looks calm and relaxed. The kid is too concentrated on his gear to notice you yet, L.]

[L understands the feeling. Sometimes he gets so involved with his pokegear that it's difficult to notice much of anything else, including nearby hovering individuals.

But that Arcanine seems pretty calm, which automatically helps to make the man a little more confident about approaching. He's still pretty wary about getting close to Kintarou, but he gets closerer, at any rate, and the rustling of the tall grass should be enough to get Kintarou's attention. Hopefully, at least; L is terrible at spontaneous greetings.]

[Kintarou is brilliant at this "Paying my attention to other stuff" thing, really, and he's excited to see how it feels to ride a real Arcanine so...

Tigger the Arcanine takes two steps closer to L. He looks a little curious now. The sudden movement behind him surprises Kintarou. First he looks up.]

Aaaaaaaaaaaa, where are you goi...?

[...then he hears the sound of grass and turns to look that way. OH HI, new person! Well, Kintarou thinks that you're new anyway. He offers a grin of a smile.]

Hi! It's amazing, isn't it?! [He means the Arcanine, yes.]

[dead_black_eyes]

[The quick movement of the Arcanine's causes L to stiffen, but "curious" doesn't look enough like "fierce" to send him the opposite direction.]

It definitely appears formidable...

[L recognizes Kintarou, and if Kintarou is even half good at these things, he should recognize L's smooth, distinctive monotone from their conversation over the networks.]
