038 [video]

[It's been a while since Larry last made a network post. With so much going on—disappearances, conventions, and lots of battling at the Training Center—the thought of making a post completely slipped his mind. But he's got a good reason to post today.

The feed opens up to, well...not Larry, that's for sure. It's a mass of blue and purple with extremely happy expressions. They excitedly crowd the screen, chattering away.]




Wobba Wob! Wy? Wobba Wobba! Wy? Woooobbuffet! Wy! Wynaut!

[Eventually Larry worms his way between the two of them, laughing.]

Okay guys, I think they get the point.

[The Wobbuffet and Wynaut playfully try to shove him back out but he holds them tight.]

Did you guys catch the EV News the other day? There's gonna be a Wynaut swarm! I actually didn't know Wobbuffet had a baby form until I got this little guy for Christmas.

[He affectionately pats Wynaut's head, who cries happily in response.]

But it got me thinking. I haven't seen a lot of people with a Wynaut or Wobbuffet! I almost wonder if I'm the only one aside from Gym Leader Sabrina in Saffron. And y'know what? I wanna fix that, 'cause you guys have no clue what you're missing out on.

[He backs up from the 'Gear with his Pokemon, revealing that they're in one of the Training Center's battle locations. Two other Pokemon are nearby: a Stunfisk and a Poliwrath. Wynaut and Wobbuffet line up across from them.]

See, the thing with Wynaut and Wobbuffet is they like to wait and go second during battle. Wobbuffet is my starter so it was pretty hard to get used to that kind of style at first. But it's really really worth it, especially with the moves they have. It's even better if your opponents have no idea what these guys are capable of.

[He turns to face his Pokemon. Time to call out some attacks!]

Poliwrath and Stunfisk, DynamicPunch and Thunderbolt!

[As if prepared for these commands, the Pokemon set off their respective moves. Poliwrath races toward Wobbuffet to deliver a powerful punch and Stunfisk sends a stream of electricity toward Wynaut.]

Wobbuffet and Wynaut, Counter and Mirror Coat!

[Crying enthusiastically, the two Pokemon begin to glow, Wobbuffet orange and Wynaut shiny white. When Poliwrath connects with Wobbuffet's body, he is sent flying backward, and lands on his feet while skidding to a halt. Stunfisk's Thunderbolt bounces off Wynaut and flies right back at him. Luckily the electric attack has no effect in this case so he just absorbs it.

Larry grins back at the camera, obviously quite proud of what just unfolded.]


You can send any Pokemon's move right back at them as long as you wait to go second! They've got a couple more tricks up their sleeves, but we'll just keep that a mystery for now. You'll figure it out if you go catch a Wynaut or Wobbuffet yourself. [With an obvious winking motion,] Hint hint!

[Wynaut and Wobbuffet are already back to crowd the camera. Larry laughs again, petting them both.] Plus they're great Pokemon all-around. You guys should totally go catch one by the Dark Cave! And if you want help training them, I'm at the Celadon Training Center, so feel free to stop by!

[Wow, nice shameless advertising, Larry.

All three give a salute for the closing bit.]


Catch you guys later!

Wobba Wobba! Wyyyynaut!

Seriously.

Have you started on the Kanto badges already?

That so? For someone who's got their ways, you certainly seem bad at introducing yourself.

[Like she's any better, but shhhhh.]
enjoymyatelier: have fun storming the castle, kayneth (a totally honorable mage duel)

I don't doubt that at all, and it isn't as though I haven't been aiming for a variety from the start. Given how many people seem to have beaten them thus far, I would imagine that you can use practically anything against them with the right strategy.
begetsvengeance: (and it makes me want it more)

I'm Jeane. Nice to meet you too.

[She certainly doesn't sound too enthusiastic, but that's just the way she is. Probably.


...wait, did he just say training center?]


You work at a Training Center?
itsudemoissho: (Grin)

Understandable. Good luck with that and remember to tell me when you win your first elite challenge.
enjoymyatelier: just imagine the crossed arms and this is von karma as balls (are you cross examining a parrot)

So long as I don't run into any more roadblocks, of course.
itsudemoissho: (Heh)

I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Thanks Larry.

I guess it is. Never thought about it too much.

[Gosh, wouldn't that be awful...]

Did you now? I tend to tune out certain things, so I must've missed it. Ah well, either way maybe I'll go pay this place a visit some time.
begetsvengeance: (the words circulate in my brain)

I'll definitely consider it. Though I'm not exactly sure how to get to Celadon from Johto, besides taking that ship. Would you mind helping a girl out?
begetsvengeance: ('cuz one of us is going...)

And let me guess, this magnet train is in Goldenrod?
begetsvengeance: (comin' off of the black top)

Nope, not even close. It'd probably take me about 2 weeks or so...give or take.
begetsvengeance: (I'm not runnin')

[It's reassuring to know that she isn't the only person who was spacing out.]

Eh, I dunno. I'm pretty chill where I am. I like roughing it as much as the next gal, don't get me wrong, but there's something to be said about civilization.
begetsvengeance: (you can treat this)

[personal profile] begetsvengeance 2013-05-10 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
I said I was chill where I am. I didn't say I was an idiot.

[No seriously this place is kinda boring. She's just waiting until she's good and ready to leave.]
