Bout 011 (Video/Action): A special surprise.

[usegalacticpunt]

[Please enjoy a Banette face, people of Johto. Shadow has snatched her trainer's Pokégear, and now she's peering at the camera, making sure it's working. Once she's satisfied, she sets it down and backs away, revealing -- whoa, a whole team of nine. From Bruce the Hitmonlee to the still unnamed Pinsir, all of Chie Satonaka's Pokémon are here. But

[Well, guess who saw all of this from a short distance away? Yep, Yosuke's coming over with a laugh... and a rather orange looking MP3 player in hand.]

...Well, it's good to know mine aren't the only ones who do stuff like that.

[From under the pile, Chie chuckles, struggling up into a sitting position.]

Haha, yeah, I saw that dogpile they pulled the other day. Or... I guess it'd be Pokémonpile? [She pauses for a second and adds:] I didn't have time to ask, but you been doing alright since then?

[usedkunai]

Yeah, I guess. It wasn't them that made it a problem. I'm not sure how they did it, but they pulled it off without killing me.

It was Teddie who almost broke all my ribs by jumping in the pile.

[isthisourchance]

Haha, ouch. He's just too enthusiastic for our own good, isn't he? [That wasn't exactly what she meant, but she lets it go, climbing to her feet. Goldie lifts up apologetically, and the rest of her team snuggles up to her again.]

[ahokonakamori]

Today's your birthday, Chie? Happy Birthday!

[isthisourchance]

[After she's dug herself out of the Poképile...]

Oh, hey, thanks! I almost forgot it was even coming.

[video]

[ahokonakamori]

[Always fun.]

Lost track of the time, huh? So how old are you?

[video]

[isthisourchance]

18! [She pauses.] Well, technically. I got here in November, but it wasn't November back home... Anyway, close enough!

[lonestarweeaboo]

Kyaaaa! ♥ Happy birthday, Chie! You're lucky that you've got yourself a movie marathon to watch!

[Video]

[isthisourchance]

Hey, thanks, Gemini! Man, this's gonna be so much fun. I watch movies like this all the time back home!

[Video]

[lonestarweeaboo]

Really? You're so lucky! The last time I sat throw a flick was around here!

[Video]

[isthisourchance]

Haha, yeah, I've put together a big collection over the years. Hey, you wanna come over and watch one of these with me some time?

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

[Kanji's eyes widen as he sets his needles down.] Woah. Is it really today? Man time sure flies in this place! Happy Birthday senpai!

[video]

[isthisourchance]

Oh, I know what you mean! It surprised me too. [She grins.] Thanks, Kanji-kun!

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

No problem! I'm uhh.... still working on your present. Hopefully I'll be able to get it done sometime later tonight?

[video]

[isthisourchance]

...Oh! Haha, hey, no rush! It's not like you have to do anything... oh, but I'm not complaining! [She realizes that she's starting to ramble a bit, and cuts that train of thought off.] Anyway, I'll look forward to seeing it!

W-whoa, Chie-senpai, are you alive in there?? [ Rise did have a bag with her, but she's setting that down to try and dissuade Goldie from happy Gyarados lovings. ]

[action]

[isthisourchance]

[Goldie backs up immediately, giving Rise an apologetic look. Sometimes she still forgets her own strength (and more importantly, her own size). Meanwhile, there's all sorts of giggling coming from the pile -- mostly Pokémon, but one human voice.]

I'm fine! Just winded. [Chie finally climbs up with Bruce and Tiger's assistance.] They've all got energy to spare, I guess!

[action]

[restardom]

And a whole lot of love, too. [ Rise does relax visibly once it's apparent that Chie's okay, offering her a smile. ]

[action]

[isthisourchance]

[That gets a big old grin from Chie.] For sure. Oh, uh, sorry if we startled you!
