Seventh Punch

[conflictedrebel]

[For tonight's entertainment Maoh will be attempting to use Kanji's gear as a surf board! He toddles his way on over to the pool but before he's able to use the device as a floaty he slips on a tiny puddle and falls in instead. Unfortunately, as the gear is on the ground all the viewers can see is the sky above. Though-- if you listen carefully you

Get to the Center as fast as you can. They'll be able to help, but you have to move quick.

[Don't mind the Pikachu chattering rapidly on this end of the feed, though. He's just worried, that's all.]

[Video]

[conflictedrebel]

Yeah... Definitely don't wanna go through that again...

[Video]

[soggypastry]

["Again"? ...Then again, who hasn't sat in a hospital and waited for news on a loved one? No one she knows.]

What was he doing out by the pool if he couldn't swim, anyway?

[Video]

[conflictedrebel]

[he looks off to the side and shrugs.]

I dunno, my gear was out there with him. So I think he was gonna try to use it as some kind of floaty or something.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[Gear as a floaty? ...not the craziest thing she's heard but it's up there.]

You might want to keep a closer eye on him from now on. Though I doubt he'll try that stunt again anytime soon.

[conflictedrebel]

[yeahhh, just about all of his new pokémon have a thing against his gear, sob.]

Yeah. I turned my back on him for a coupla seconds and then this happened. But I won't let this happen again, specially when I'm near open water.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[Unlike Lightning's, who just love to turn the thing on at the worst times...]

The spook will probably do most of that work for you, but keeping him close or in his ball should keep him out of trouble.

[Video]

[conflictedrebel]

[he nods.]

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Lightning. Er--well thanks again, I guess...

[Video]

[soggypastry]

You're welcome.

[Bit of a headtilt here; he knows her name, but...]

I never did get your name, you know.

[Video]

[conflictedrebel]

Oh-- Oh right, I never.... really gave you my name. [he fornws as he shakes his head.]

I'm Kanji Tatsumi.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[A nod; given the situation, she doesn't hold it against him for not giving his name. Things were hectic, after all.

And she'd say "nice to meet you", but she's not really the type, so...]

For what it's worth, I hope your Pichu will be alright.

[As does the Pikachu on her lap; Spark never fails to chatter his opinion, mouth full of berry or not.]

[Video]

[conflictedrebel]

Yeah, me too... [He nods as he looks at the chattering Pikachu.] Man, it's amazing how yours can keep on chattering with a full mouth.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[A glance down at Spark, who's just about finished with his berry now. Fast eater, this one.]

Must be a talent. It's something he's done since he evolved. He used to be rather shy when he was a Pichu.

[More chattering, though it sounds a bit annoyed. So what if he was shy?! He's not anymore.]

[Video]

[conflictedrebel]

[he gives a low whistle.] Must be. And I guess some just change after they evolve. My Combusken's gettin to be that way now.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

Some change, some don't. I think it depends on what species they are and on their temperament, like it does with us.

[Well, the temper, anyway. Considering all her Rapidash did when he evolved was get more protective of her...]

[Video]

[conflictedrebel]

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess it also matters how ya train 'em too. Or something.
