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.]

Two weeks? Oh gosh, that's a long time!

[But on the other hand, dragons.]

Where's this place? Dragon's Den? I really want to see it! I'm a dragon, you know! Well, I was. Back home.

[fony]

You're telling me. It didn't really seem like it, though, until the end...

[Which is when they (and their Pokémon) were out of food and patience.]

It's in Blackthorne--wait, you're a dragon?

[invigorating]

[That should probably sound more awful than it does, but Nowi's obsessed with obtaining dragons and that's one she doesn't have, so...]

Yeah! I'm a Manakete! This isn't my only form, you know! Though my ears aren't normally like this, they're like...

[She draws pointy elf-ears where they should be on her head and makes a face.]

They're way more awesome than these. But I guess I'm not a dragon here, which is... kinda sad. But I'm trying to collect all the dragon Pokémon! They're all so cute!

[fony]

They're not really 'cute'...dragons aren't cute...

[They're 'cool'. Dragons are cool. But either way, she likes dragons and that's awesome.]

Well, you can try where we were if you don't mind spending a long time to get what you're trying to catch.

[invigorating]

Dragons are totally cute! Just look at me!

[...Nowi, you're a human right now, stop that.]

I'll totally do that though! It sounds like it'll be a lot of fun! I haven't been out of Cherrygrove in awhile, so it'll be great!

[Yes, she literally got to Cherrygrove and decided she was never leaving clearly this can only end well.]

[fony]

But you're human now.

[And more annoying than cute anyway.]

Cherrygrove? Uh...it's gonna take you a looong time to get from Cherrygrove to Blackthorne. It took me and Neku nearly a month to get there, and that was from Goldenrod.

[But that was with several side trips like the ice rink, and spending more than one night in a couple places.]

[invigorating]

Well yeah, but I'm a really cute dragon!

[...Moving on...]

Oh gosh, a whole month? That's a really long time... Hmm. Are you sure there isn't a faster way to get there?

[fony]

If there was, I would've taken it.

[invigorating]

Aww... Well, I guess I'll have to start looking into travel plans...

[Dragons are super important, after all!]
