015 | Video/Action for Goldenrod Pokemon Center

[awesmazings]

[The feed is a little shaky when it turns on, revealing Jimmy sitting on a couch at the Pokemon Center. He's got a jacket tied around his waist with a huge rip in one of the sleeves, and his right arm is bandaged up from the wrist to the elbow. Just behind him Ralph can be seen eyeing bandages that have been wound around his huge knuckles.

When Jimmy talks he sounds shaken, and he looks it too.]

Okay so, uh...me and Ralph just ran into something...weird. Weird as in pink-with-wings-and-weirdly-vicious kinda weird. It just showed up in the Maze and attacked both of us before we could get out. We're fine, but...I dunno if it as some kinda new Pokemon or what. Didn't get a chance to check with my 'dex or anything.

[He sighs, sharing a quick glance with Ralph before rubbing the back of his neck and looking back at the screen.]

Just watch out if you're on the routes or outside or whatever. It'll prolly go away soon like the swarms usually do and stuff, but...yaknow, I don't wanna see anyone else get hurt.

...and Molly, if you see this, please be careful.

[With that, he shuts off the feed.]

[OOC: This is a joint post between both Jimmy and Ralph, so expect tags from either/or or both! And if you want to do action, Jimmy and Ralph are in the midst of getting patched up after their horrible Clefurret encounter.]

Child, you've had waaaaaaaaay too much candy.

[Everyone knows pink is a harmless color. GOSH.]

[Video]

[awesmazings]

Teddie, I'm serious! How else would we have gotten these bites?

[And he wouldn't lie about something like this. He knows what he saw.]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

You were really hungry?

[Even though he was full...on candy? Look, he's not a scientist.]

B-But you're okay now, right? You...you went to a doctor and everything?

_{[A big, angry face leans into the frame.]}

Hey, I saw it too, y'little twerp!

[THEMS FIGHTIN WORDS]

Hey now, I am NOT little! I happen to be, like...seven feet tall in bear height!

[Action]

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph sags against the poke'center bench. His bandages have happy little Chancey faces on them and he isn't sure he likes it. They're awfully pink.]}

I dunno about you, kid, but I'm actually thinkin' about takin' the rest of the day off.

[Action]

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy, on the other hand, doesn't mind them so much. Something about bandages with pictures make him feel better. ...it'd be nicer if they weren't pink, though.]

Yeeeah, I...I think I'm gonna too. I don't really feel like going outside anymore today anyways.

[As he says that, Leader peers from around the couch and immediately hops up onto the empty space next to Jimmy, dropping his head in his trainer's lap.]

[Action]

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph puffs out a sigh.]}

Don't think anyone can blame us. And if they do, I've still got one fist left they can voice their complaints too.

[Have a distressed gnome child.] You, too?!

Video

[awesmazings]

Yeah, I-!

[...oh no.]

Wait, what happened to you?

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

THIS DEER THING WITH SPIKES ALL OVER TRIED TO GUT ME!

[Video]

[dressofheaven]

It's in the maze?

[Well that's not good. Ilya's not going to panic, but still, not good.]

That's a bit too close to us for comfort...

[Video]

[awesmazings]

No kidding! Ralph sorta...sent it into orbit, but I don't think it ever left the Maze. I would either stay out of it today, or make super extra sure you got a Pokemon out with you if you need to go inside.

[Video]

[dressofheaven]

I'm with my Pokemon at all times, but even so... are we shutting it down, then? I can't imagine letting people wander through it when something that dangerous is loose.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy's outside somewhere, gripping at his arm and the first-aid kit bandage messily wrapped around it.]

Those things are that far into the city?

I thought they'd just be out here. How bad did it get you?

[video]

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy nods, though the way Envy is talking doesn't help ease his nerves at all.]

Got me pretty good on the arm. It hurts pretty bad, but I'm okay.

Where are you right now, Envy? Did the same kinda thing attack you?

Video

[eclipse_of_time]

It attacked you?

I didn't think that Pokemon attacked humans in that fashion....

Could it be ill, do you think?

Video

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy nods, running his fingertips over the surface of the bandages.]

I dunno. It...wasn't really acting like any Pokemon I've ever seen. I mean, sure, I've run into some angry ones before but...that one was really nasty.

[He pauses, glancing over at something offscreen as the door to the Pokecenter can be heard sliding open.]

And from the looks of things, it doesn't look like we're the only ones who've seen 'em either.

Video

[eclipse_of_time]

That sounds very much like some sort of illness. Has that ever happened? Some outbreak of illness in Pokemon?

[armoredsoul]

I just got run down by one, too! It seems like they're everywhere!

[Don't, uh. Don't mind the blood dripping down his forehead or anything.]

[awesmazings]

[HE IS GOING TO ABSOLUTELY MIND THAT.]

Al! Are you okay?!

[video]

[crystalballer]

Holy crap, dude. Thanks for letting us know. Sucks that you had to take a hit though.

[Hagakure's not sure how to take this info, having just recently come back and all. It's pretty rare to hear about Pokemon randomly attacking trainers with no provocation.]

And it's another totally new Pokemon? Not one of those weird stink birds or some other Fairy type?

[video]

[awesmazings]

Yeah...no, it's fine. S'like I told Teddie, I've had worse. It's not fun, but I'll be okay.

[And as for Hagakure's question, Jimmy lifts his free hand in an unsure gesture, shrugging.]

I honestly dunno. It looked like a Furret, for just a sec...but when it got all up close? It was not a Furret. No Furret I've ever seen, anyway...

[It could be a new...evolution...? Maybe? Honestly he kindof hopes not.]

[pipers_son]

Will ya two be alright? I can take care a things and let two of ya rest up.

video;

[awesmazings]

Yeah, yeah we'll be okay. I dunno if the Maze is too safe for people to be going in right now, though...

Do you think we should close it?
