CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Jimmy Two-Shoes
Age: 14
Canon: Jimmy Two-Shoes
Canon Point: Post Season 2
Character Information: Link to Jimmy’s Wiki Page!
(This wiki page for the series itself is, unfortunately, incredibly small and not really at all informative, so I’ve also included a short bit of history for this canon.)
The series "Jimmy Two-Shoes" is set in a city called Miseryville, which is located on a planet that is clearly not Earth. Miseryville has three suns, a red sky, lots of fire, lava and volcanic mountains, is consistently hot and some of the water is red (though there appears to be some normal water too). The City of Miseryville itself is similar to a regular large city, but is almost entire populated by demons and monsters and is centered around a large, menacing factory. This is the Misery Inc. factory. What's Misery Inc.? Misery Incorporated produces everything in Miseryville, and all products are designed for the customers' optimal dissatisfaction. So of course, Miseryville lives up to its name by being an extremely miserable place.
Misery Inc. is owned by the ruler of Miseryville, Lucius Heinous VII, a red devil-like demon who revels in making everyone as miserable as possible. He also has a son named Beezy.
Also, Miseryville appears to be the only civilization on the entire planet, with everything outside the city being no man's land; wilderness, wastelands, and lakes literally made out of fire.
So if it wasn't already obvious, the implication is that Miseryville is indeed, Hell. The world being ruled by a devil bent on making everybody miserable named similarly to Lucifer, with a son named similarly to Beelzebub, is an especially dead giveaway. Though never outright stated in canon, it is heavily implied that Jimmy is deceased. The reason he wound up in Hell, however, remains a mystery. Considering Jimmy’s personality as a whole, one might speculate that Jimmy ended up in this area of the afterlife on accident. Jimmy does not know how he died and has little to no memories of his life in the living world- in fact, he (and everyone else in Miseryville) don’t seem to be aware that they are dead, or whether or not they actually know that they are dead isn’t clear. He does seem to remember some small details about where he “used to live”, such as that it had snow. Otherwise, Jimmy rather enjoys his life in Miseryville with his best friends Beezy and Heloise.
Personality:
There’s a reason why everyone calls Jimmy “Jimmy Two-Shoes”. Suffice it to say that the very essence of who Jimmy is as a person revolves around the fact that he’s almost in a constant state of happiness, nearly without regard to what horrible things might be going on in the world he lives in. This world being literal, actual Hell. He’s kind, helpful, and considerate to a fault, even to those kinds of people who would much rather you just stay kindly out of their way and let them be miserable in peace. The truth is, the more down in the dumps you are, the more likely it is that Jimmy’s going to go out of his way to see if he can turn that frown upside down. It’s hard to exactly say where Jimmy gets his overwhelming optimism from. He can’t remember anything from his previous life (nor does he even realize there ever was one), so it makes you wonder just exactly how he ended up in this afterlife to begin with. Whether it’s due to Jimmy doing terrible things in his past life or to some sort of clerical error, it’s clear that the kid is a good person with a heart of pure gold.
Jimmy tends to live life to the fullest without any responsibilities holding him back. He doesn’t seem to ever go to school nor does he have a job, and even with a dog to take care of he manages to spend almost nearly every waking moment of his existence doing whatever he wants. Usually, whatever he happens to be doing he does it to the fullest of his abilities, and has a darn good time doing it to boot. Jimmy usually spends an inordinate amount of time goofing off playing video games, playing with his dog, or coming up with insane (highly dangerous to a normal human) games to play with his friend Beezy.
Jimmy possesses a near limitless amount of energy that is both mental and physical, keeping him on the go constantly. It comes as no surprise that even in Hell Jimmy seems to be able to spread happiness wherever he goes. The thing about Jimmy is that this is just how he IS. He embodies happiness and optimism and it can have lasting effects on anyone he comes into contact with. To put it bluntly, Jimmy is such a happy person that the ruler of Miseryville- Lucius- constantly works to find some sort of way to make Jimmy miserable. If Jimmy can be made miserable in any capacity, then true Misery has been achieved. …Unfortunately, this is a task easier said than done. Even when Jimmy and Beezy are dragged to Misery Inc. to test some new, misery inducing products, they have absolutely zero effect on Jimmy. Each device causes Beezy despair and frustration, whereas Jimmy manages to find a way to turn each and every object into something he can both have fun with and enjoy.
While Jimmy’s optimism is the main trait of his personality, he’s not totally impervious to experiencing other emotions, such as anger, sadness, and- yes- even misery. The latter is rare, but certainly not unheard of. When Jimmy does get angry he can really get himself worked up if he lets something get to him, as any teenager is apt to do. Most of the time this can be seen in Jimmy’s rather competitive nature. This isn’t to say he would throw a tantrum if he lost, but there’s a very strong drive to succeed that pushes him to continue fighting against even the poorest of odds. He is also known to be severely protective of those he sees as friends and can easily find himself upset or concerned if they suddenly stopped spending time with him for whatever reason. In this way, Jimmy shows a bit of selfishness that he doesn’t even realize, a side of him that demands attention and companionship. That being said, this means that Jimmy isn’t at all fond of being alone. He would much rather be spending his time with others than he would being cooped up inside without anyone to talk to.
Jimmy is also prone to jealousy. Not so much would he be envious of someone having things he doesn’t, but when someone he’s very close to is involved he seems to take it as a personal thing, unintentionally or not. In the episode “Heloise’s Secret Admirer”, Heloise suddenly begins spending a lot of time with a fast-talking con artist known as Peep in an effort to make him jealous over Peep gaining her affection. However, Jimmy doesn’t see this as a romantic thing, but instead sees it as “I’d rather spend time with my good friend Peep than you, Jimmy.” Jimmy isn’t controlling by any means, but some subtle hints have the tendency to fly right over his head, leading him to unintentionally misconstrue the intention entirely.
Somewhat ironically, his ridiculous optimism has the tendency to trip him up as Jimmy will do anything he thinks is good, whether or not it’s actually the “right” thing to do. All of this is unintentional on Jimmy’s part, and his gullibility and naivety can be constant hindrances to him. If he isn’t careful, someone could easily manipulate him to do something as long as he’s under the impression that it’s “right.”
While Jimmy is gullible and a bit slow at times to pick up on certain cues, he is by no means stupid. In fact, he’s remarkably intelligent in ways that you might not expect. He might not be able to create insane inventions like Heloise can and he might not have a lot of street smarts on his side, but in a pinch Jimmy can solve problems and produce solutions that otherwise might not have been thought of. This solution might not be conventional or the most obvious, but it works.

019 | Video/Action for Goldenrod
[Good morning, Johto! The first thing visible on the feed coming through is a rather close shot of Jimmy's face as he seems to be adjusting his Gear, turning it this way and that while the mic picks up his voice a tad too loudly.]
Okay, this is good. Bring it back, Clover!
["Grovyle!" a voice calls out as the Gear bounces back, quickly revealing Jimmy standing in the center of a large open field with a full belt of Pokeballs. There's a whole host of Pokemon standing behind him: a Manectric, Floatzel, and Furret on his right, and a Lopunny, Volcarona, and Goodra on his left. Every single one of them looks like they're anticipating something, the Lopunny bouncing on her paws in place while the Floatzel does the same, even occasionally punching at the air just to show off.]
Alright! Who wants to battle this morning? It's been forever since I've battled somebody in person, and I really wanna see how good you guys have trained your Pokemon! Mine are all ready for a good fight!
[All of his Pokemon give a cheer in unison, even the Grovyle on the other side of the Gear, holding it up so the video can be recorded.
Jimmy grins widely, jerking a thumb towards his chest.]
I'm in Goldenrod right now on the grounds of the Eve's Garden Circus, if you think you've got what it takes! I've got a team of my strongest Pokemon, but I've also got Pokemon at levels all across the board, if you wanna battle and haven't trained a whole lot yet.
And if you aren't in Goldenrod, I'm totally cool with flying down to Ecruteak or Azalea to meet you! Anywhere else might be a little too far to fly...but, we could always schedule something for later, too!
[Someone has gotten a liiiittle bit stir crazy lately, looks like.]
I'll be around all day, if anyone's interested!
[After he gives a short nod, the Grovyle turns off the feed.]

[It's a bright, sunny day on the road to Viridian City. It's also pretty devoid of trainers at the moment, save for Jimmy and Joker as they make their way to town. This is pretty inconvenient, given the fact that Jimmy's feeling very cheerful at the moment, but it isn't just your average, everyday Jimmy brand cheerfulness.
Oh no. He's singing. He is singing at the top of his lungs as he walks with his Gear in hand, pointed up at himself.
There is a Chatot perched on Jimmy's shoulder, and every time the song switches into the parts requiring strictly whistling, he points the Gear over at him and lets him take over. Not because he doesn't want to, of course, but because he literally can't whistle. Having a permanent gap in your teeth does that to you, unfortunately. But by god is he singing the singing parts.]
Come ooon and give a whistle! Let me hear you whistle! I know you can whistle! Everybody whistle!~
[And right on cue, Paco the Chatot extends his wings out to the side and whistles his little heart out for his trainer.]

[In sharp contrast to a video Jimmy posted earlier in the month, Jimmy decides to make a quick post rather...early in the morning because OH MY GOD IT'S CHRISTMAS. He's sitting on a bed in a hotel room with three Furrets coiled all around him, each one wearing a different colored body scarf. One of them has her head in Jimmy's lap, another has his pink head jammed beneath one of Jimmy's arms, and the third seems to be making noises that sound a whole lot like a revving motor boat.]
Merry Christmas Kanto, Johto, and everywhere else in the world! I hope you guys have a great day, no matter what you celebrate! It's been snowing all week, even all the way over here in Fuschia City. Is it snowing where you are right now? Hopefully you'll be able to stay warm!
...anyways, that's all I wanted to say. Have an awesmazing day, everyone!
[Seems like Jimmy just wanted to make a video for the express purpose of wishing everyone a happy holiday, but that's not unusual.]
[OOC: If you have any CR with Jimmy at all- even the people he's very recently met- you're getting a lovingly hand-crafted bracelet with your name on it! Each one has Pokemon printed beads of your choice, personalized depending on how well Jimmy knows your character.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!]

[After traveling for several days to get to Vermillion City, Jimmy hasn't really had a chance to check the Network or his PC much. But upon arriving to town early in the morning, the first thing he'd gone to do was check his PC to switch out some of his team and...
Well. There's only one reason you find a friend's Pokemon in your possession, isn't there? A quick attempt at a call confirms his worst fears. He left to go on a trip, promising he'd be back soon. He didn't even get to say goodbye.
It takes him a little while, but he eventually makes a video from a seat on the couch inside the Pokemon Center (since he hasn't actually left yet). There's a pokeball in his hands, but he hasn't had the heart to release what's inside yet.
For the first time in a long time, Jimmy Two-Shoes looks...genuinely upset.]
Molly's gone home.
[His grip on the ball shifts a little. When he looks back up he forces a smile, strained and maybe a little too wide.]
If you got any of her Pokemon, lemme know, okay? I'm not gonna take 'em, I just...wanna make sure they're alright.
Thanks.
[And that's it.]

015 | Video/Action for Goldenrod Pokemon Center
[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.]

014 | Video
[When the video feed starts, it's too dark to make out much of anything. It's hard to tell where the feed is even coming from, and the only sign that there is anyone around is the sound of rustling in the background...like wings flapping as something (or a lot of somethings) flies around in close quarters.
Then, several pairs of eyes start to glow purple in the gloom as a Galvantula comes into focus, her furry body jumping with bits of static that brighten the darkness just enough so whoever is actually making this video can be seen. Just before his face comes into view he starts to laugh, cackling until the feed finally reveals one Jimmy Two-Shoes seated on the floor of a balcony with his long legs threaded through the rungs of the side of the staircase. Everything looks very old, broken down, and quite honestly spooky in here, which is exactly what he wants.]
Gooood morning Johto! I hope you guys know what day it is, because things are about to get real SPOOKY around here!
[Jimmy laughs again as the Galvantula steps just a bit closer to provide more light. It's clearer now that Jimmy's in an old house of some sort with creaky floorboards, drafty windows, and cobwebs covering everything in sight. There are also a lot of Pokemon hovering in the background too- Noibat, Phantump, Zubat, and the like. Perched on his shoulder is a very grumpy looking Murkrow with a scratch on her beak who turns her head to pull at the unruly feathers along her wings now and then as Jimmy talks.]
It's the first day of October, which means we've only got 30 days until Halloween! Us guys from the Eve's Garden Circus have got lots of spooky, scary tricks and treats planned for you guys! It's been a lot of work getting everything put together, but I think you'll find it all to be terribly terrifying!~
[WELL if anyone's been wondering where Jimmy's been hiding all September, now you know. Haunted Houses don't scarify themselves, you know.]
But we're still not done yet! We're gonna need a lotta elbow grease to get things as spooky as they can be for Halloween! If anybody wants to come help out, we'd love to have some extra hands over here! The Haunted House is in the same place it was last year, the spooky mansion on the hill in Goldenrod!
Let's make this Halloween even spookier than it was last year!
[As an official Pumpkin Knight to the Pumpkin King, Jimmy's bound and determined to make this Halloween the best one Johto has ever seen in his honor.
With that, he ends the feed.]

[As an official Pumpkin Knight to the Pumpkin King, Jimmy's bound and determined to make this Halloween the best one Johto has ever seen in his honor.
With that, he ends the feed.]

[It's actually a nice day out, today, and that's evident in this video when it starts. Several days of rain made for unpleasant traveling, but Jimmy was fine with staying in Azalea for a bit longer. It's a sleepy little town that he actually finds quite pleasant. He'd been so used to things just constantly happening, back home, so having long stretches of downtime like this had the tendency to make him restless. Traveling with someone helped to alleviate that, at least.
The dappled shadows cast across Jimmy's face and shoulders indicate how large the tree he's lounging under is, his Furret curled around his back to serve as a fuzzy cushion. He's not wearing his jacket for once since the rain finally decided to leave for a day, left in his usual green T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. The shirt is obviously not the same as the one he arrived in, if the pokeball insignia on the pocket is anything to go by.
Next to him in the grass is a Treecko, peering up at him with wide, yellow eyes. She seems to be running on the idea that if she can't see Jimmy, he can't see her, making her perfectly camouflaged in the grass and at a perfect angle to pounce playfully on his fingers when he's not looking. He doesn't seem to mind it, though, wiggling them a little to encourage her as she rolls over with a squeak before bounding off and to hide in the taller grass again.
Jimmy seems a little subdued today. Not unhappy or upset at all, just...thoughtful. It's a little unusual for him, but he's had a lot of time to think while on the road again. He never aged back home, so now that a year's gone by, time really seems to be flying in Johto.
After a moment he talks, not looking at the screen just yet.]
So there's somethin' I've been wondering about, lately. Back home in Miseryville, I never really...
[He pauses, trying to find the right words.]
...I never really did anything, yaknow? Like I mean- my friend Heloise worked as an inventor and helped design pretty much all the products sold back home. My friend Beezy...well, he didn't do much either, but his dad rules everything so he's gonna end up taking his job one day anyway, so he doesn't really have to do anything yet, I guess. Molotov's a body guard, Samy's a secretary guy...
I did have little jobs sometimes. Like, I was a product tester once...and then I worked as a cook at a restaurant for a little while. But other than stuff like that, I never really had anything I was known for. I guess it's just kinda weird to think about that, since I work with the Circus here...that's pretty much what I've done since I got here.
So, I guess I wanted to ask you guys what you do, back home? Did you have any cool jobs or businesses that you ran? Maybe just a hobby or something? If you wanna talk to me about it, I'm not really doing anything today.
[He turns to watch the Treecko jump at his hand again before switching off the feed.]

[There's the face of a Magcargo showing up on the Network this morning, steam rolling slowly off of its body as it leans in close to the Gear. The screen very abruptly begins to fog up before the device is jerked away by someone unseen. As the camera pulls out, it's easier to see that the Magcargo looks a bit....odd, to say the least. What's more, there are some eggs piled in various places on a blanket spread nearby with some of Jimmy's Pokemon lying with them- a Furfrou, Delphox, and Talonflame respectively, along with a second Magcargo that looks a lot more like what you'd expect one to look like.
After a moment Jimmy gets the Gear turned around to face himself with the first Magcargo still in the background, curiously oozing around the area and getting chided in Pokemon-speak when it wanders too close to the eggs.]
Morning everybody! So I decided that I wanted to try breeding some eggs for real, even though I'm not a breeder or anything. It really wasn't too hard! Once everybody cooperated, anyway.
[There's a yowl from off-screen that could only be described as coming from a disgruntled Floatzel before Jimmy continues.]
Anyways, there's not a whole ton, but I'd really like to get these eggs sent to good homes! I've got a list of what I have, so if you'd like to buy one lemme know! I'm at the circus tent here in Goldenrod, so if anybody's in the area and wants to pick one up in person, that's fine too!
[He ends the video after that, mostly because the Dittocargo is starting to wander again, and he knows he'd be in big trouble if he let the circus tent get caught on fire.]
[Action for Molly Walker]
[Once the post has been made, Jimmy puts his Gear away for the time being and rounds up Bubblegum, who's still morphed as Toast and having a grand old time of it. Then, once he's rounded up a few other Pokemon from his team, he bends down to pick up two eggs and carefully place them in his bag.
Wherever Molly is, she might hear Jimmy calling for her, looking around to try and see if he can spot her among the hustle and bustle of Pokemon in the tent. Bubblegum still follows him, along with a Jolteon trotting at his other side and a Helioptile perched on his shoulder.]
Molly! Where are you? I got something for you!
[OOC: OOC Egg post is Here! There are still some eggs available!]

[The video feed starts up with some audible, muffled snickering as Jimmy turns his Gear around to face himself. It looks like he's crouched on his knees next to a cot in a tent, presumably one of the ones set up for the circus performers in Goldenrod. He's whispering with amusement clear in his tone.]
Guys- guys. Check out Cypress.
[He turns the Gear around to show a fat little Bulbasaur sitting on a pillow on the cot, watching his trainer curiously as he tips his head to one side. For a moment he doesn't do anything but sit there...until he jerks and hiccups. His ears fall back as a low growl starts up in his throat, his eyes shifting from side to side.
Hic. ...grrrrr.
Hic. ...grrrrrRRRR.
After a third time he turns his head and paws a little at the air, the hiccups nearly hitting him with enough force to cause him to tumble over. He is a baby, after all. Basically, there's a lot of this happening (sans barking. maybe) and Jimmy can barely hold back the giggles while he watches.
He doesn't let it go on forever, though, and eventually shifts to sit on the edge of the bed, pulling the still aggressively hiccuping Bulbasaur into his lap.]
You guys know of any good ways to get rid of the hiccups?

So uh
I wasn't sure if that was actually a thing that could happen but I think one of my Pokémon is afraid of heights
but he's like a flying Pokémon so I'm kinda surprised actually...
Anyways just don't fly on your Pokémon unless you can ask them first if they are or something cause that's really important
The Nurses in Olivine are super nice though!! then again they're all nice, so
[...Jimmy you don't just...say that...]
but yeah that's just something to keep in mind I guess! or, yaknow, just have lots of different Pokémon you can fly on. just in case
[Private text to Joker]
Sorry it's taking me so long to get back, I'll be in Mahogany soon!
got a little held up in Olivine

[Jimmy isn't an uncommon presence on the Network, but it's actually been a while since he's posted a video of any kind. Today when the feed flickers on he can be seen sitting cross-legged on the edge of a bed in a hotel room with a Quilava draped bodily over his shoulder. Even after evolving, Fahren seems to have remained as clingy as ever and doesn't plan on leaving any time soon. Judging by the sound of hailstones clattering against the roof in the background, that likely means it's going to be another stay-in-with-your-fire-types (and electric dog, who is permanently glued to Jimmy's side regardless) kind of day, but that doesn't make Jimmy any less excited. Today is pretty special, after all.]
Would you guys believe it if I told you that it's been a whole year today since I first got here? It doesn't really feel like it's been that long already...but at the same time, it's like I've been here forever.
[He lifts a hand to pet the side of Fahren's face when the Pokemon turns to nuzzle his head into his neck with a yawn.]
There's also another thing I realized a couple months back, sometime last year. I've seen lotsa people here have birthdays and stuff, but I actually can't remember when mine is. I think...maybe it might've been sometime around now?
But since I don't really know, I'm just gonna say it's today, since I've been here a year. [He grins brightly and leans back a little, showing his ever present gap-tooth.] So I'm sixteen now! I was thinkin' bout going outside to do something for it, but the weather is pretty bad...but that's alright! I don't mind stayin' inside so much, 'specially since it's so cold.
[He lowers the Gear, which shows a clearer shot of the rest of his bed. His Manectric is there stretched out on his side, and taking up the entire rest of he bed is Inferno the resident flame moth acting as the fuzziest heated blanket on the planet.]
Anyways, I hope everybody had a good Valentine's this weekend! I had a whole lot of fun and even met some new people! And ate a whoole lotta chocolate, too.
[With another small laugh he ends the feed there.]

I know a lot of people have been here for a long time. Like, a lot longer than I have, and I've almost been here a whole year now.
But how many of you have, you know...gone home and come back? I don't mean like, leave for real, exactly. I mean like...you go to sleep out of nowhere and then wake up back here again a couple days later. If that happened to you, did it feel like...well, real, or did it feel more like a really convincing dream?
I never really thought all that much about it until recently, so I just wanna know what you guys have to say about it.

[Anyone who knows Jimmy Two-Shoes might be surprised that an accidental video hadn't popped up on the Network from his 'Gear before. When the feed flickers on there's a rather flattering shot of someone's paw where they stepped right on the thing, before it gets kicked across the floor a little on accident, accompanied by rapid chattering. As the screen is jostled around it shows a dizzying view of a hotel room for a minute before it settles on the doorway.
After a moment, a pair of black sneakers step over the threshold, followed at the heels by a prancing Jolteon. The sound of rustling plastic can be heard, like someone is carrying a few plastic bags.]
Hey guys! I'm- ...wooooooooooah!
[The bags abruptly drop to the floor as the shoes disappear with quick steps into the room, and from a distance Jimmy can be heard, "Sweet corn, what happened?!" There's a fair bit of rustling and moving around that goes on before the abandoned 'Gear is ever noticed, a shot of a hand descending from on high showing before Jimmy finally picks it up and levels it on himself.
In the background behind him, his bedspread is covered with eggs. A Furfrou is curled up with two of them, and a Houndoom stands awkwardly next to a Braixen looking as if he has no idea what just happened, what are you talking about. The soft chattering betrays that there might be others in here that can't be seen offscreen, and that's made evident when two Volcarona sidle up to Jimmy's sides with happy chirps, one of them nudging her face against his arm as he tries to focus the video.]
Oh- oh it's on already? Uuhh....does anybody want some eggs? Maybe a couple? Um...I've never tried to breed before, so I wasn't actually trying to-
[Jimmy sighs, lowering the Gear with his expression twisting a bit with confusion.]
Lucky? You too?
[FLOA FLOATZEL FLOAFLO-
And then Jimmy turns off the feed there.]
[OOC: List of eggs and moves are here!]

006 | Video/Action for Goldenrod
[It's around noon and it's slightly cloudy out, but regardless Jimmy can be seen standing just outside of a circus tent standing prominently in the background. In his hand not holding the Gear are a two juggling pins, and standing in front of him are a Houndour and a Herdier, watching him expectantly.]
We've been practicing some stuff for the next act all morning, and I thought it'd be nice to take a break and see what everyone's up to today! I haven't felt anymore earthquakes, so that's good...so hopefully they're all gone, maybe?
[He shrugs with a half smile, tossing one of the pins. The Houndoom jumps quickly, catching it in midair.]
But I actually do got a question! Do any of you guys know any real spooky, scary stories? Or maybe scary stuff that happened to you, but turned out okay in the end?
[Not that he's saying people are obligated to share, but he's really got to learn some tricks to being scary in the next few days...cause gracious he's not.]
I've got some! I've met a ghost before! He was pretty cool though actually, once we got to know him. Kinda weird...but still pretty cool.
[Aand there goes the other pin, which the Herdier catches as well with a little difficulty, wobbling into the Houndoom's leg.]
---
[Anyone around the center of Goldenrod today might spot Jimmy practicing with his Pokemon not far from the circus tent. As opposed to earlier, he has his Furret and his Breloom out, speaking to them eagerly and gesturing with his hands as he does so.
Choosing to stay and watch a while will reveal some rather...interesting balancing acts that Jimmy is trying to pull off with the two, but staying long enough might just earn a sight that looks something like this, at least until the Furret sneezes and the entire tower comes toppling to the grass in a heap.]
