012 ▲ Video; backdated to the 10th

[fony]

[This video is very short, but possibly amusing, if you're disposed towards schadenfrueude. Luke's not in the video but filming it, and the focus (with slightly shaky camera work, is a Bagon.]

I DID IT! I finally caught one after trying for days and days!

[Or a week. He keeps the camera trained on the Bagon, who's still for several seconds before suddenly moving forward...

...and offscreen and not directly recorded, headbutts Luke directly in the kneecap. The viewer can probably gather that from the sudden yelp of pain and how the video suddenly tumbles around as the Gear's dropped.

We'll be right back.]

Here I thought you were looking for dragons.

[It's also called the Dragon's Den for a reason, Luke.]

Regardless, it looks like you'll have to find a way to deal with it, now that you've caught it.

You didn't answer my question before. Do you know what's gotten it so angry with you?

[text]

[fony]

i dunno, i was there. i haven't done anything to it, really. maybe it wanted tostay inside its pokeball.

[unkinder]

Maybe. It's possible you lack the badges needed to control it, depending on how high its level is.

[fony]

well i only have a hive badge and a zephyr badge right now...that means i should go get the rest, i guess.

It would probably help, yes. Otherwise, training that Pokemon is going to be something of a struggle.

[text]

[fony]

it's only level 24

i have pokemon much higher levelled than that.

[text]

[unkinder]

Does that make its headbutts hurt any less?

[text]

[fony]

no, the gear just says that's its level.

i'm pretty sure it would just break my leg ins half if it were higher thant that.

[Okay, so sarcasm doesn't translate well through text. He should have learned this by now, but it's hard when you have the social skills of a rock.]

I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

[fony]

[To be fair, Luke's response would be much the same had the sarcasm translated well, it just would've been somewhat grumpier.]

im' not gonna test it.

Not unless you're particularly interested in breaking both of your kneecaps, anyway.
