Larry Butz
[After nearly a week of nonstop riding, Larry and his team have made it partway through Route 38. It shouldn't be too long until he finds Barney. Good thing too, because they are probably in need of some serious R&R at the Ecruteak inn tonight.

He's off Steelix now and is just walking along the trail, stretching his legs a bit. Getting tired of around to see the boring sights, he decides to notify the network of his traveling progress. Unfortunately, he doesn't check the newest posts first, so he isn't quite aware of the dangerous ghost bugs flying around Johto. Leave it to Larry to be clueless.

The feed opens up, and the viewer will be seeing the exact same thing Larry is: the long, dark, stretching road of Route 38.]


Hey guys, I made it to Route 38. Man, Barney wasn't lying when he said this place was boring as heck. I can see why it'd drive him crazy! Good thing we won't be here for that long. Hey Barney, when you see this, we should be running into each other any time now. You up for chilling in Ecruteak tonight? I hear they got a nice bath thing the--

[Larry is suddenly cut off by the faint cry of a certain ghostly bug Pokémon.]

... The heck was that?

[The screen shakes and whips around to show a perfect shot of the Shedinja that had been following Larry for quite some time now.]

Whoa, this guy's new! And...creepy.

[He holds out the 'Gear to it, and receives the general information on the Pokémon, including the warning about the hole in its back.]

Pfft, is this thing serious? I love crazy ghost stories like this!

[The screen whips around yet again to show Larry's silly grin. He looks...cocky. What a surprise.]

Betcha I can look at that thing's back and nothing'll happen. Larry ain't afraid of a creepy ghost bug!

[... Yep, Larry would be dumb enough. The screen turns around for one last time as he circles the now completely still Shedinja. He's making this way too easy for the soul thief. The feed goes silent as Larry gazes into the gaping hole in the Pokémon's back, expecting nothing to happen and to say, "Hah! Toldja!" to his audience. Several moment pass and not a peep comes from the once confident Larry. Then suddenly, the screen wobbles, and the view crashes to the ground along with its owner.

And it'll just keep on recording the empty trail ahead. After all, Larry can't exactly turn it off now that he's equally as hollow as the Pokémon who really did take his soul.]


[[OOC: Larry's Pokemon are in their balls so they haven't realized something's up quite yet. Responses will come from Barney when he finds Larry's body.]]

[Today on the feed, Larry looks distraught. Very distraught, and just a teensy bit annoyed. Why is he distraught and annoyed, you ask? Well, he's been cooped up in Violet City just a little too long. He suddenly slams the table that the 'Gear is propped up on, knocking it slightly off kilter.]

Okay, I seriously can't take it anymore. I need to ditch this popsicle stand. No offense to you guys who like Violet or anything, but this place is a serious energy sucker.

[Cue determined face!]

And since the thunderstorm of the century is finally over, now's the perfect time! Azalea, here I come! Bugsy, prepare yourself for the great Larry Butz! You're goin' down!

[In his triumph, he pauses. Oh yeah, he kinda forgot about something. He laughs sheepishly.]

Uh...that's okay, right Iris?
