Jan. 28th, 2018 08:27 pm--oh, is it on? Hi, everyone! This is Shooter! I can't talk right now because I'm training or something but you should call me back until I answer! Especially if it's about a batt-- ohhh, you're someone I beat, right? That's okay! We can totally have a rematch, bro. Call me.

Jan. 4th, 2012 01:22 pmHEY, EVERYONE!
[ Here's Shooter, loud and chipper as ever. The boy's sitting on the back of a rather disgruntled-looking Venasaur, a small blue egg in his arms, faithful Rattata perched in his hair. The rat is holding and nuzzling something shiny-- a brightly-colored pin. Shooter's got about half a dozen more decorating the (somewhat tattered and a bit small) orange-and-purple jacket he first arrived in. ]
Check it out-- I got back all my Tin Pin stuff! My whole pin collection, and (old) Red Kaiser, too! Now that I've got another Solid Slammer, Operation Teach Pokemon To Slam is READY TO GO!
[ He looks so excited. And painfully earnest. But wait, it gets better! ]
The Operation is in super secret testing mode right now, so I can't release any video footage yet-- [ Shooter none of your Pokemon have opposable thumbs they can't play your Beyblade ripoff ] --but I made a diagram and everything to help you guys picture it!
[ At this point, thecameraman camera Charmeleon holds this masterpiece up in front of the 'gear. ]
( cut for image )
SUPER COOL, right? I got all kinds of awesome stuff over Christmas-- the team's getting huge! We've been busy training all the new members, so it's taking a while to get all the Gyms, but we're still on the road to Champion-dom. No doubts about it.
Pretty soon, I'll have been here for a whole year.

Nov. 16th, 2011 07:39 am[ Have you missed Shooter being loud, Route? Well, never fear. The boy waves Ecruteak's gym badge in his free hand, and there's a Cyndaquil clinging to his shoulder. He seems to be sitting on a Rhyhorn, somewhere along Route 38. ]
Dun-dun-DAHH! Got my fourth badge! And a new addition to the team, too-- meet Tin Pin Teal! I just traded a big grumpy Golem for him, and it was great. If anyone has stuff to trade, you should totally let me know.
Oh! And we're headed to Olivine next. What's the Gym there like? What do you get for beating the Leader? I keep getting HMs with funny names but I don't know if they're any of the good ones, and a true master should know this stuff.

So, um. Doc is gone again. Doctor Pin, I mean.
[ Shooter, sitting on a National Park bench with a Rattata perched on his shoulder, looks gloomy. Sounds it, too. ]
He left once before and it was a long time before he came back, but he did come back, so that's... that's pretty cool, right? Maybe it won't be as long this time. I still wanna challenge the Ecruteak Gym, even if he won't be here to see. And I want to find some new members for the team -- if you have stuff to trade, you should totally talk to me.
[ He makes an effort to sound more chipper. On his shoulder, Purple chitters encouragingly. ]
And Halloween was fun! I heard there are more ghosts at the Ecruteak Gym, right? Me and Purple can take 'em down, no problem. I bet I've got something super-effective against ghosts.
Doc'll be back in no time. He's gotta be here to see me take on the Elite Four.
[[ Shooter has a Lopunny and (evolveable) Graveler to trade, probably for something ridiculously common like a Nidoran or Tentacool; it's first-come, first-served. If anyone's interested, drop me a PM. c: ]]

Check it out, bros, me and the team made it to BADGE NUMBER THREE! The lady even gave me some cool CDs and this watering thing. I don't actually know what it does, but if a Gym leader had it it's gotta be super rare and valuable, right? But if it doesn't actually do anything cool, someone else can have it.
Gimme the details on the next Gym, me and Purple are ready to go. Championship, here we come!

After a second or two, he swings the camera around to focus on a scorpion sitting in the grass. ]
HEY GUYS! Check it out! This guy just turned up in my PC out of NOWHERE, and just in time for us to go through the woods, too! I'm still looking for someone to go with, so if you're near Azalea and your soul's not gone anymore, gimme a call!
Anyway, look-- I bet he's super strong--
[ There's a moment of Shooter frowning intensely at the 'gear and pushing buttons, apparently unaware that the video aspect stayed on. Then he's back to grinning and the Dex's mechanical voice starts to rattle off information. ]
Skorupi. Male, level twenty-one. Registered nickname: Titty Twister.
[ The little boy continues smiling as the Pokedex starts listing stats. ]

[ Welp, looks like Shooter is fine. The kid sits on the back of his Rhyhorn, a Charmeleon at his side -- and a blindfold on his face. The frayed bandana that usually holds his hair up is now tied over his eyes instead, and judging by the weird angle he holds the 'gear at, it's working.
Orange the Charmeleon gives the camera the most exasperated look a lizard can, a shiny new Hive Badge in his claws. ]
These bugs are really super ultra creepy, but I'm not scared! Check it out, we got BADGE NUMBER TWO! I'm totally qualified to take on these things, like a real actual hero. I got a bunch of those special Pokeballs and everything.
And look-- I came up with the best idea. They only suck out your soul if you look at them, right? So if I fight blind, I'll be FINE! It'll be AWESOME.
[ Then there's a pause, slightly more uncertain than Shooter tends to be. That scare back in Union Cave shook him up, and... well, maybe having a grownup around would be good. Or even another kid, so long as he's not out alone. He really doesn't want to be alone. ]
Oh, and if anyone needs a bro to go through the big forest with, you should totally give me a call. Goldenrod's supposed to be cool.

[ When the feed starts up, it's hard to tell what you're looking at, between shaky camerawork and a dark setting. The first minute offers nothing but a jumbled view of rocks and dirt, lit by what seems like a candle flame. Sniffling and quick breathing come from just offscreen, joined occasionally by the grinding scrape of rock on rock.
Then the 'gear turns abruptly on a disheveled Shooter. The boy is chewing his lip and swiping at wet eyes, dirt in his hair, scrapes on his face and shoulder. In the background are rocks, and some of them move; the boy's Rhyhorn shoves itself relentlessly against the new wall of stone, a Charmeleon providing enough light to see by. The ceiling is low enough to keep them crouching, and it's cramped with just the three bodies. ]
I think-- um, I think I might need help, we're in this cave and I was fighting and some of the rocks came down-- and they're really big rocks--
[ His voice catches. For the first time since he arrived in Johto -- six months and counting -- Shooter's crying in front of someone. He'll argue if you dare to point this out, of course.
But he's still just a ten-year-old out alone. ]
I'd call Doc b-but Doc isn't here, my mom and dad aren't here, um-- I don't think I can move the rocks--
C-can someone come get me?

The camera swerves and bobs continuously, jostled as the boy holding it seems to be... riding an animal? The camera's pointed upwards to his face; it's all offscreen. ]
WHOA. This is so crazy! I went to sleep and it was May and then I woke up yesterday and it was, like, not May anymore! Do you think a Pokemon knocked me out? Or maybe there were these psychic waves that got me, or I had like a BRAIN problem, or something else AWESOME! It's like I survived some big cool adventure and I don't even know it.
I never even got to show you guys my Easter present, right? I was keeping him a surprise for when he got really super ultra big and strong! Go on, ask what kind of Pokemon he is, he's SO COOL.
[ Throughout the afternoon, anyone within a few days of Violet City -- in the direction of Union Cave -- might find a big dark shape approaching from the distance. Very quickly. But don't worry, it's just a little boy!
On a charging rhino.
You might want to get out of the road. ]

HI JOHTO IT'S SHOOTER HOW ARE YOU I'M GOOD GUESS WHAT MY RATTATA IS SO COOL HE'S THE BEST RATTATA AND TODAY WE HAD TO FACE OFF AGAINST A REALLY TOUGH PIDGEY BUT THEN WE WON AND WE GOT A BADGE BYE.
[ Click.
... yes, that just happened. ]
B. [ A few minutes later, the feed starts back up, and something else is happening! Something quieter, thank god, and now there's a Lopunny standing behind the boy. Shooter's got no idea how to filter this away from Claire, so he'll just keep his voice down and then maybe she won't notice. Brilliant. ]
Hey, is 'Playboy' a cool name, or is it too girly? A girl suggested it and I think it's kinda weird, but then Playboy could be his name-name and Tan could be his codename, and I could use his codename just for battles, and that would be sweet! And, like, secret.
What do you think?

Apr. 10th, 2011 05:24 pm[ When the feed starts, it's easy to see that Shooter's not enjoying the bug attack; there are scrapes and bruises on his cheeks, his hair a little singed at the edges, and the boy stares into the camera much too seriously. A trashed motel room makes up the background, along with a flurry of movement and constant stream of cursing. Whoever it is, Shooter pays them no mind. ]
You guys okay? It's CRAZY out there! There are all these Pokemon that fly right into you and they sort of have fists, you know, and then there are these others that EXPLODE, like BAM! It's so like a video game.
[ He pauses for a moment as an exceptionally loud "FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" drowns out all else. ]
I'm fine, though. I found a grown-up.

Shooter doesn't seem to notice; with a satisfied little nod, he turns the camera back on himself. ]
OH, and Kindred Spirits! If any of you remember me. You guys should probably stay inside too. Unless you have really really cool Pokemon or, like, armor. I already lost my bucket helmet.
[ And click, feed has ended. Both Panty and Shooter will be replying to this! ]

It's difficult to see, between the water drops on the camera and his Buneary's terrible camerawork, but the kid is dressed in jeans and a T-shirt -- soaked to the bone, hugging a plain metal bucket to his chest. ]
HEY, BROS! Does anyone know how to fish? I didn't have a fishing pole so I thought I could just scoop them up wit--
[ And then he's cut off as the Pokegear is violently flung several feet away, clattering to the ground just in time to get a glimpse of a flailing Buneary with an angry Surskit clinging to it. By the time Shooter picks the 'gear back up, the kid's given up on video feeds entirely. ]

... and then there's a rat butt in the camera. Someone's tied a ragged strip of red cloth around the Pokemon's tail -- not even in a bow, just a messy knot -- and he wags frantically to show it off, peering over his shoulder to his audience. Humans will be treated to chattering 'ratatatata's, while Pokemon will hear this: ]
Hi! Is it-- is my new thing showing up? I think it's showing up. Hi! I'm Purple. I have a thing to ask, and my thing to ask is what do you do when you have a teammate who isn't very nice? We're supposed to train together and be friends but he doesn't want to be friends but we're teammates! Are your teammates nice? How did you make them nice? I want to.
He's kind of made of rocks so he's hard to fight and it's not very fun.
[ The Rattata pauses for a moment, considering, and then starts talking again. Twice as fast. ]
Oh, and if you're where I am, you should come battle us! Shooter is sad because he says I'm on top of a per-cent-age but I need to be more on top of one than anyone else and I'm not yet. Someone mean is more on top of one. So we have to train!

[ Hope you missed having your eardrums threatened, Route; Shooter's voice seems pitched oddly, the sound on the 'gear fluctuating, but he's as loud as ever. Things steady out after a moment, and twitching static gives way to a stable video feed. ]
Is it working? I think it's working. HEY, EVERYONE! My Pokegear got all messed up when it, uh, kind of got lit on fire, but it's all better now. Some guy in town fixed it. Me and the Doc are in Violet, getting ready to fight Falkner! And I know rock Pokemon beat bird Pokemon, so look– look who I went out and got–
[ He turns the 'gear to show a Geodude at his feet, staring grumpily up at the camera. Purple the Rattata is perched on its head, cheerfully sniffing at the Rock-type, apparently unaware of the thing's bad mood. ]
His name's Grey and he's the newest addition to my team of Kindred Spirits! He's so cool and strong and really really friendly.
[ Grey the friendly Geodude takes this opportunity to make an angry gravelly sound, grab Purple by the tail, and fling the squealing rat offscreen. Shooter jumps and stares for a moment, before: ]

Feb. 11th, 2011 11:23 am[ When the feed clicks on, there are water droplets all across the screen, enough to distort the image of a little boy in a too-big jacket. He's shivering, free hand buried in the coat for warmth, a Pidgeotto perched on the arm that holds the Pokegear. There's snow in its ruffled feathers, and in its trainer's hair.
He's trying very hard not to look cold and miserable, but can't quite manage his usual volume. ]
Um! Crazy storm finally went away, so us Kindred Spirits are on the road again! Me and Doc are headed to Violet for badges, and look! Brown evolved!
[ The Pidgeotto fluffs itself up further, looking more like a puffball than a seasoned fighter, and gives the camera a grumpy bird stare. It is 11ºF man this is not okay. Shooter, of course, doesn't notice. ]
And he's really really cool and all, but… I kind of want Purple to stay like he is. I think he's gonna evolve soon, too, and what if he doesn't want to be a Raticate? Can I fix it?
... and is it getting warm again soon?

[ Hope you have sturdy eardrums, Route. Shooter's voiceover is too loud to miss, though he's not actually on screen; the camera zooms in clumsily on a trembling Pokemon egg, cracks spreading across its surface. It gives one last jerk, glows faintly, and...
