A. [ Ridiculously early in the morning, all of Johto gets a shaky close-up of a Zephyr badge, and this call goes out: ]

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?
slam: (♠ He's my bro.)
[ 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.

[ He scoots out of the way a little, letting the camera focus on the person behind him, and--

It's [livejournal.com profile] usedswallow.

It's Panty holding her Piplup by the feet and swinging the little penguin like a bat, apparently trying to bludgeon a Skorupi to death while swearing at the top of her lungs -- it looks like the thing isn't even moving. 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! ]
slam: (♠ Yeah that was pretty cool!)
WHOAA!!

[ Yep, Shooter's being loud over the Pokegear again. Today, it's because his beloved, impossibly lazy Buneary is finally all set to evolve! The little boy is practically bouncing in place, wearing his Magikarp-fishing bucket like a helmet, watching the white light fade to reveal...

Cut for pictures! )
slam: (♠ Yeah that was pretty cool!)
[ While most sane people are inside right now, one little boy is running around Violet like this is the best day ever. 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. ]

are the blue things good
shood i get 1
they wont stay in my bucket

what about magicarp
slam: (♪ happy rat)
[ For once, the feed doesn't start up with a view of Shooter's too-excited face, or his newest Pokemon, or some beautiful work of fifth-grade art. Instead, it begins with an extreme close-up of little tan paws, followed by little tan whiskers and a little tan belly.

... 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!

TESTING, ONE TWO THREE! Testingestinestingesting!

[ 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: ]

WHOA! Nice move, bro! You guys are right – we're wasting training time!
