MISSION 002 [VIOLET CITY - VIDEO/ACTION]

[sculpted]

[[It's a rather pleasant day in Violet City. Major Armstrong, having explored the Bell Tower and other surrounding areas, has decided to take a break underneath a tree in a quiet area of town. With him are his two Pokemon. Ben the Geodude and Maa the Pidgey, along with three Pokemon eggs sitting in his bag.

He's wrapped them tightly in his spare clothes and towel, and positioned the bag near his (beautifully sparkly hot) body to ensure they stay warm in the chilly weather.]]

Ah, I haven't practiced like this in a while.

[[He's referring to the sketchpad propped up against his knee, where a rather good likeness of his Geodude and Pidgey is forming. While excellent at portraits, Armstrong is out of practice with other forms of drawing, and as such sketching his Pokemon is doing his hand a world of good.

When the picture is close to being finished, his Geodude strikes a pose while his Pidgey flutters over and seats herself on his head, pecking gently at his curl while she examines the picture.]]

What do you think? This is but one of the many artistic techniques passed down through my family for generations, you know! If it were possible I'd show you my alche-

[[Peck peck. The Pidgey pecks the picture, interrupting his spiel, before pecking his head and repeating the gestures.]]

....you....you want me to draw myself in the picture with you?

[[A happy chirp!

....followed by...happy tears...]]

[[ugh

Back into your Pokeball, Ben, he'll finish the picture later.]]

Just retrieve your Pokemon and go, Kimblee. You've done enough.

[explosivecombat]

You haven't anywhere near the right to be condescending toward me, Major; it would serve you well to remember that.

[At the same time, he does know when to pick his battles. This isn't the time.]

[ Oh boy oh boy! It's about to be more glittery than Mariah Carey's imagination here.

She lowers her feed to a Sneasel who just suspiciously glances at the feed before turning away as it resumes inspecting his claws. ]

I just have this one guy. I've been thinking about getting others, but I want them to come to me, not the other way around. If they join me willingly, then I know we'd be a perfect fit and we'd already have decent synergy. [ She's actually been too uninterested in these butt ugly chimeras to get more but details, details. ]

[sculpted]

[[Oh his fists will start trembling very hard upon hearing that comment...!!

...but, like Kimblee, he knows this isn't the time to start a fight. Not with the eggs here.]]

Neither do you, Kimblee. A lot has changed in those seven years.

[[And with that, he will seat himself down next to those eggs, turning his back to you. This conversation is over.]]

Ah, what a fine creature you have there! I haven't seen that species before! I think it suits you.

[[goddammit woman your reasoning will make him sparkle more]]

What an excellent strategy! Miss Isabella, I can tell you're a woman of class and sophistication!

OH GOD MY THAT ICON JUST IS THAT WHAT ENGLISH IS IT WHAT

[licentious]

It's a Sneasel. They're noted for their high intellect, attraction to shiny things, territorial nature and sharp claws. I think only one of those things suits me, maybe two if the diamond's cut correctly. [ ....this does not mean she is attracted to you sparkly mcsparkle pants. ]

Thank for your compliments, Major Armstrong. I hope my classy strategy can finally get me a wonderfully fitting Pokémon. I've been hoping for a flying one. I always found the ability to fly to be so majestic. [ not really. ]

[sculpted]

[[Oh don't worry, Armstrong is well versed in that sort of pride~]]

I know how you feel. My main weapon is my alchemy, but I've been unable to activate it since I arrived here.

Instead I must depend on my fists!!

[show_my_cannons]

... Alchemy? What is that?

[There's a word he never got exposed to, back home.]

You too, huh? Like the way you think.

IT IS ***BEAUTIFUL***

[sculpted]

[[Mhmm no, into the more icy type, isn't she?]]

I think a Pidgey like Maa would do well with you, Miss Isabella! Such a noble Pokemon!

[sculpted]

What is alchemy? It is the most beautiful form of science available to man!

[[Don't...get him started...]]

I always appreciate meeting like-minded warriors!

[Video]

[meatysoviet]

Why? Is Dipshit.

[What is this cruelty you speak of? Nope, none of it here.]

[militarytactics]

It's not a matter of catching them. It's a matter of finding ones I'd like to catch.

[But... he's not going to turn down something like this.]

How do I contact them?

[video]

[strategizer]

[this... face.] You-- okay?

video;

[show_my_cannons]

You are a scientist?

[ video ]

[sculpted]

[[w h o o p s you are not a boy, that's what he gets for assuming]]

It gladdens my heart to meet young people with similar views to mine! Tell me, what sort of Pokemon do you train?

[video]

[sculpted]

I'm fine, quite fine!

[[Drying his eyes!!]]

It's merely been a wonderful day.

[ video ]

[sculpted]

This is a product of the artistic technique passed down in my family for generations!

Would you like me to draw any of your Pokemon?

[Video]

[sculpted]

[[no but

OTL tho]]

That may be, but naming a Pokemon like that....it's simply not right!

[[HE DOES NOT APPROVE OF THIS]]

[ video ]

[getthehorns]

Well I--

[ TOO LATE. You said the magic words because there is a Heracross butting her way into the screen all DRAW ME! ]

Hey!

[sculpted]

Go to your local Pokemon centre and leave a message on their voicemail! That's how I discovered it, anyway.

It could be rather worth your while!

[sculpted]

In a manner of speaking! First and foremost, however, I am a soldier.

My particular weapon is just a little out of the ordinary.

[ video ]

[sculpted]

[[Oh that will make him chuckle!]]

Such vivaciousness! I would be honoured to draw such a fine creature!

[[And he'll start sketching~]]

Your Pokemon has such personality! What species is it?

[ video ]

[getthehorns]

[ She actually preens a bit at that. You know, as much as a giant bug can preen ]

This is Moxie. She's a Heracross, and spoiled rotten.

[ video ]

[sculpted]

Heracross, you say? She looks like she could pack quite a punch!

[[Seriously, that's quite a horn; he'll peer into the gear a little to ensure he gets the dimensions right.]]

And I think spoiled rotten is the best way for our Pokemon to be; mine are certainly on their way!

[[brb, Pidgey on his shoulder!]]

[show_my_cannons]

Few soldiers here.

... Is it here?
