024 [video/action] [backdated to 8/2]

[It's a lovely evening in Ecruteak City. Lovely enough for Larry to go up and find a nice view of the city to draw and paint. His Pokemon are out of their Pokeballs and lounging around while Larry sits in silence, scribbling away in his sketchbook. He's not really sure why inspiration struck him so hard today, but he has a feeling it's because today marks an entire year in Johto for him. Mostly, he believes he just needs to space out and draw for once. His mind has been on battling and gyms far too much, and since he finally got the Fog badge, he can relax for a bit.

He's drawn many things in the couple hours spent in that spot. He's drawn his Pokemon, his friends, and even friends that left a long time ago. So many memories, and so many to come. But his biggest piece of the evening is a pastel drawing of the city itself.

Adding the last few swatches of color to the drawing, he looks it over, then sighs. It's a happy sigh. Mission accomplished!]


Woooobbuffet!

[Wobbuffet looks equally accomplished, looking at that drawing.

Larry grins, patting his starter's head.]


Glad you like it, Wobbuffet. Here's to another year, huh?

Wobba Wobba!

[Since Larry's rather proud of his drawing of Ecruteak, he decides to turn his 'Gear on and show it off. Thus, the feed begins with a shot of the drawing. It's actually pretty good, even for Larry.]

Hey guys, whatcha think? Not too shabby, huh? [He grins,] Guess I'm not rusty at the whole art thing yet!

Oh, and uh... [He looks a little awkward, trying to think of what to say here,] Happy one year for you guys who landed in Johto a year ago today. Hard to believe we've actually stuck around this long. Not that that's a bad thing to me. Here's hopin' the crazy things'll get toned down in the year to come.

Heh, who am I kidding? It wouldn't be Johto without the crazy things!

Make it four, Edgey. [YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS.]

Yeah. It's weird. It doesn't feel like it's been a year at all!

Really? I've only been here for about a month, but it feels like it's been forever.

Huh. Not diggin' the Pokemon thing or something?

[How could you not dig Pokemon though?]

Nah, the Pokémon are cool, but the travelling isn't...

Aw man, I feel your pain. What you need is a Pokemon who can carry you!

Yeah... Haven't found one of those yet, though.

Hmmmmm. Where're you at right now?

Blackthorn City. Do you know if there are any big Pokémon around here worth catching?

Blackthorn? Wow, I actually haven't been there yet! But someone I know has and it doesn't sound like there are any big Pokemon around. Sorry man.

Oh... That's okay, dude. I think I can rough it out for a little longer.

Oh, um, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Matt Engarde.

[Does that name ring any bells, Larry?]

[Video]

You're heading down to New Bark Town and all that, right? There's not really much there either, but uh...if you can make it to the cave by Violet there's Onix.

[That name does sound familiar. For several reasons. But Larry can only remember one of them right now.] Dude! Didn't you use to play the Nickel Samurai?

[Video]

[identity profile] usedrefresh.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously? I'll check it out when I get there.

[Whoa wait. This guy actually recognizes him? Matt isn't sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.]

Yep, that's me.

[Larry is absolutely excited.]

This is awesome! I thought the Nickel Samurai was so cool.

Oh, oh! Guess what? Before I ended up here, I was playing the Steel Samurai! [For an event, but hey.]

[Video]

[identity profile] usedrefresh.livejournal.com 2011-08-21 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, well, as long as he doesn't bring up that trial... And yeah, Matt figures that, since Will Powers was definitely the only one who played the Steel Samurai on the actual show.]

Dude, seriously? I never thought I'd meet a fellow samurai in this place!

Same here! My mind is totally blown right now.

Dude, if we ever run into each other, we should totally hang out.

Where are you right now, anyway?

Ecruteak City. It's uh...sorta close to Blackthorn? But in the opposite direction.
