4th moon (accidental video/action)

[puppet_paladin]

[The view from the Pokégear is askew, as if it had been dropped on a bag in a hurry. The image is dark and a bit foggy, but sufficient staring reveals Cleffa, frowning, deeply engaged in-

-a staring contest with a Shuppet?

It is a test of wills. Only the winner will show itself worthy of being the greatest of all Pokémon. The tension is nearly

action; (*can't resist*)

[solidbarrels]

[ Squall stops and stares, watching Cecil pretty much fail, silently. He's still a bit on edge from before and his hands can't stop shaking completely. The SeeD takes a deep breath before shaking his head, trying to calm himself. It might have been hours since he finally (fully) got rid of the hallucinations, that everything he thought was real... wasn't.

[ Abruptly, he turns, starting to walk off. He's more intent on getting his own revenge from those things that dared to manipulate him than stop and have a conversation with anyone. ]

[action] then don't!

[puppet_paladin]

[Well, that first try didn't work out. But he still has four of those balls in his pocket. He takes one out, he aims once again, he throws-

Oh dear, is that Squall in the ball's path?]

Look out!

action; (lol, will do!)

[solidbarrels]

[ If he wasn't so tense, he might have caught that or at least get out of the way. The ball slams into the back of his head causing him to almost fall over but he manages to barely catch himself. Squall groans, lifting a hand to rub the spot where he was struck ]

Ow. (I never get a break, do I?)

[ He turns and frowns severely at Cecil, almost glaring before cautiously putting his hands into his pants' pockets. Probably wouldn't do any good if the paladin saw that he was still somewhat affected by what happened earlier ]

[action]

[puppet_paladin]

[Cecil throws the rest of his balls to the side and runs toward Squall.]

Squall! I'm sorry! I didn't think I'd be that bad at throwing them. Does it hurt?

[Meanwhile, Cleffa and Shuppet's Epic Staring Contest is being interrupted by a case of Pokémon caught in a ball. Cecil doesn't notice.]

Do you want me to heal you? I can't access my magic, but maybe some of those potions also work on humans...

[Bet you're regretting the end of his mostly silent phase now.]

[GUESS WHAT PURPLE MONKEY IS CHEERING HIS LITTLE CLEFFA BUDDY ON? Only this time his trainer is in the background, looking vaguely amused]

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

[Cleffa would love to thank you for your encouragement! But she's a bit busy.

Meanwhile, Cecil is muttering some very unpaladinish curses in the background, along with-]

This would be much easier if our attacks actually connected, really, how did it evade a paw to the face...

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[aaand here Kaito kinda laughs]

Normal-type attacks don't affect ghost-type Pokemon.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

[Wait, did that come from the Pokégear? Cecil approaches it (while still aiming for the Shuppet) and looks. Oh, that's Cleffa's new friend and his probable trainer.]

Is that so? But I'm afraid Normal attacks are all Rosie has. Is there a way for her to learn something else?

[seasalttwilight]

[Roxas is just sort of watching. So that's the pokemon that caused all this]

[puppet_paladin]

[Yep. Doesn't it look creepy and evil cute and innocent?]

I knew I should have payed more attention when Edge was throwing our backup swords. Couldn't those things have shown themselves at noon on a sunny day?

[seasalttwilight]

No kidding. It would have made things...a lot easier.

g-god how could i typo like this

[puppet_paladin]

[More voices from the Pokégear. Cecil comes closer. Shouting his answers across the field wouldn't be very polite.]

Then again, perhaps instead of those ghost there would have been an army of Fire types trying to roast us alive. I suspect no weather is completely safe in this place.

[for_cosmos]

...Cecil? You are trying to catch one of them?

[Light isn't near Cecil- he's headed to the beach near town, to let his Wooper enjoy itself in the water as usual and to try and forget the aftereffects of his own hallucination by staying out in the sun.]

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

[...Had everyone seen that?]

Trying is indeed the right word. Rosie has no attacks that can affect it.

[video]

[for_cosmos]

Perhaps you should try to hit it with the pokeball again. If her attacks do not affect it, then there is nothing else you can do to catch it.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

...I appear to have a bit of a problem with the 'hitting' part of the equation.

[mysticpearly]

Go, Mr. Harvey! You can do it!

[puppet_paladin]

I'll do my best! ...Though my best is not very good at throwing.

[mysticpearly]

You should join a baseball team! Then you get to practice.

[puppet_paladin]

Baseball? What is that?
