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.]

[Ouch.]

Was it worth it?

[fony]

it was until now. i didnt know those things had heads that hard

[His knee's probably not broken, but it'll be nicely bruised and swollen for a while.]

[unkinder]

Perhaps you should have done some more research before spending that long searching for one, then.

What did you do to upset it so badly?

[text]

[fony]

no i mean i know theyre rock type but i swer that thinkgs head is made of steel

[Luke, they're Dragon type.]

[text]

[unkinder]

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.

[Neku visibly winces when Luke goes down, and makes his way over to help his friend to a rock to sit on]

Can you move it?

[VIDEO]

[invigorating]

Oh gosh, are you alright?

[But there's something far more pressing there, and Nowi leans in close to the screen.]

Is that a Dragon-type Pokémon? What a cutie! Where'd you find him? Or her?

[text]

[fony]

well yeah, i was. ive wanted a bagon for a while, so i thought id find one there.

got a dratini too, its kinda cute.

ill figure out something. eventully.

[Such a nice friend. Luke accepts the help, wincing as he sits down on the rock and attempts to stretch his leg out. Meanwhile, the Bagon is wandering a little ways away, Luke's Jigglypuff in pursuit.]

Thanks. Yeah...sorta. It feels like it's cracked though.

[It's not.]

[VIDEO]

[fony]

[This comes a few minutes later, after Neku's helped him.]

I'll be fine. I don't think it broke anything...

[Why you lean? Oh.]

It is. Dragon's Den...they're not easy to find, me and Neku spent about two weeks trying to catch what we wanted. Someone sold him an egg though, so he might not have caught anything.

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

[shatterings]

Congratu-- oh!

[ It seems like a majority of the time they speak, Luke is in trouble somehow... and Naminé keeps worrying about him, as a result. ]

A-are you alright, Luke?

[bent_the_world]

Whoah! What kind of Pokemon is that?

[invigorating]

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.

[seasaltkey]

[That looked super painful...]

Are you gonna be okay?

[text]

[fony]

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

[text]

[unkinder]

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

[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?

Re: video

[fony]

[Luke makes bad decisions and probably needs Adult Supervision more often. Or at least Level-Headed Friend Supervision. Well, Neku is pretty level-headed, but it doesn't help when he also really wants to catch a rare Pokémon.

At least he's better than he was when he first arrived.]

I'm fine, I'm fine. It just hurts...a lot.

Re: Video

[fony]

A Bagon. It's a Dragon-type...not that it looks much like a dragon.

[Compared to, say, Charizard or Bagon's final evolution, Salamence.]

[Video]

[fony]

[It was. He'll live though.]

Yeah...I'm fine. I mean, I'll be fine when it stops hurting. Don't piss these things off.

[text]

[fony]

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

[text]

[unkinder]

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

[shatterings]

[ Even though he's trying to reassure her... she still looks extremely concerned. ]

Is someone there to make sure you'll be alright...?
