[Some of you might have been wondering what happened to that idiot who willingly looked into a Shedinja's back a couple weeks ago. Well today you'll be getting your answer.

Larry actually looks a bit different today. For starters, his hair is uncharacteristically not spiky. Actually, he looks like he just got out of a shower or something. That's pretty much the case. He looks a little guilty, and takes a few moments to actually say something.]

Funny story you guys, I was at the spa and I realized I never actually let everyone know I was alright. I figured I better do it now or I'll forget again.

Making it official. I'm good! A-okay! Sorry for making you worry and...stuff.

[He laughs awkwardly, and goes silent for another second or two. Yeah, that was a huge moment of fail and he knows it.]

So yeah, for all you newbies out there, if you ever see a Shedinja, do not look into its back. Trust me, you'll be thankin' me for that one. And if you don't know what a Shedinja is? Good. You don't want to know.

Thank you for the advice, I'll have to remember that...though knowing what that is certainly would help [laughs a little]

But, are you really alright? What happened?

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess explaining wouldn't hurt. [To a pretty lady anyway.] They're creepy ghost bug Pokémon. Your Pokédex'll probably let you know if you find one in person.

Yeah, for real. Uh, actually? I'm still not sure what happened myself, but I was told I passed out and didn't wake up for days. I had a lot of weird dreams during that time...

[goldenpasta.livejournal.com]

[smiles] Thank you, that helps.

Hmm, that does sound like something a ghost would do. It's good to know you're alright, though, and I guess your mistake will help others? [laughs] Too bad you have to be the guinea pig.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I guess I wasn't alone in it all though. Sounded like tons of other people got KO'd by the things too.

[goldenpasta.livejournal.com]

Really? It sounded like you were saying you'd be the only one who would do it [laughs] that is a bit reassuring, I'm sure.

[Important part of that message:]

There's a spa somewhere?

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a couple cities' hotels have one. I betcha Goldenrod's is bigger than the one here though.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

. . . I am going to love Goldenrod so much.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

It's amazing. Definitely my favorite place in Johto so far. Ecruteak ain't bad though.

What did the Shedinja do? [Curious and new, he's frowning and looking a bit concerned about the warning.]

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

It knocked me out. I was out for like a week. I guess it happened to a ton of other people too.

[video]

[tigerlikereflex.livejournal.com]

Yikes.. I wonder what caused it to do that! [Frowning forevs.] Do you know if those people are alright?

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah, everyone's good now, thanks to the people who defeated the Shedinja!

Johto is full of crazy stuff though. Really crazy stuff.

[Larry's awakening was met with a mix of relief and "don't ever do that again!" and Barney trying to both hug and strangle Larry at the same time. Thankfully, he has calmed down since then, and is now hanging out somewhere in the vicinity of Larry.]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Larry was definitely clinging to Barney for a while after waking up. Boy was he glad that Barney was nearby when that who Shedinja fiasco happened.

After finishing his post and turning off his 'Gear, he turns to Barney.]

This is the life, huh? Everything's back to normal, we get to just chill in a peaceful town...

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

This spa is making up for the past few weeks. It's no Goldenrod, but whatever.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[There's a short bout of silence on Larry's end.]

I know I said it before, but I'm still sorry about the whole Shedinja thing.

... your hair is wet.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[Then his expression turns a little more serious.] This is the last time you'll see it like this.

[recrimination.livejournal.com]

I should hope so. It is incredibly unsightly.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I just didn't want to forget about this post again so I sucked it up.

[piccolo-tomate.livejournal.com]

[No one could really be that stupid... right? THERE WAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND EVERYTHING.]

Why did you look into its back in the first place? Dumb ass.

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[This guy could be.]

'cause I didn't think anything would actually happen.

[Video]

[piccolo-tomate.livejournal.com]

[stare]

But it happened to the other people too! That should have been enough evidence!!

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Actually, I had been focusing on travelling so much that day I hadn't checked the network before it happened.

[Rubbing the back of his neck,] I definitely woulda stayed faaar away from it if I knew.
