003 - Video! or Action for Cianwood

[used_friendship]

[Today's video is brought to you by a certain blond ninja, sitting on Cianwood's beach.]

Hey, hey!

Has anyone here ever been, y'know, injured by one of their pokemon? Not accidentally, I mean on purpose!

'Cause I have this one and... [Moving the pokegear slightly, you can see this Banette behind him. It isn't doing anything, just standing there. Staring. And grinning. Urgh, just looking at it again is giving him the creeps!]

....I've had it for weeks now and it won't quit staring at me like that. It doesn't say anything either, just follows me around looking like that. It's got to be planning something awful!


Oh yeah-- Also! If you've got a pokemon that keeps stealing stuff from other people but you had nothing to do with it, you can't get into trouble for it, right? I put the stuff back! Er, I mean I would. If I had a pokemon that did that sort of thing. But I don't!

[A nervous chuckle before he cuts the feed. Naruto you have two of them like that..]

Weeeeell, kinda sorta yeah. If a Poison Sting to the ankle means anything to you. Far as I can tell, you're responsible for your own critters, pal.

[video]

[believeit]

One of them stung you?! [NOTE TO SELF: KEEP AWAY FROM SHINO'S BUG POKEMON]

[France may have made a slightly disconcerted cough at the very start of the feed. He quickly masks it with a slightly awkward smile.]

I've never had either of those problems -

[This is an outright lie. Naruto might be able to see David the Politoed staring unblinkingly at the feed in the far-left background. David isn't grinning, though. Just staring.]

- but I would imagine that your Banette must want something from you.

As for the hypothetical kleptomaniac pokemon, I do believe you can get in trouble. You are responsible for your pokemon, even if they have a certain level of autonomous will.

Re: [Video]

[believeit]

Want something? Like what?

[Pausing to turn around and look at it again. It's still just standing there watching.] Eurgh.

What if it's a pokemon you didn't even want? I mean.. it just sort of followed me for days until I gave up and took it in.

[Action]

[itsjustdust]

[He's just going to... stare at you now. Because really?]

[Action]

[believeit]

[Oh.. hey, there's Obito.

He's waving.]

video--

[ragnarok_strike]

Well, some of my Pokemon to try and fight me sometimes. It's pretty painful, but nothing I can't take!
[...]
Except for this one guy, a Scyther - he just tries to chop at me whenever I'm in his sight. Those blades hurt.

video--

[believeit]

Oh! I've seen one of those ones!

...A lot of these pokemon are really violent aren't they... This is why we should be allowed weapons! To defend ourselves!

video

[aburame]

[Guess who else is staring at you, Naruto?]

video

[believeit]

[See what he means??]

Hey, you gonna say anything?

[yoctogram]

Riemannian Zeta-Function stole things before she evolved.

[Sho offers before blinking at the stripes on Naruto's face. They match the stripes on Sho's face and that's. New. New and interesting.]

I started keeping shiny things in my pockets & got her a hat of her own.

[He moves his own Pokegear to show the Liepard lounging on a bed ignoring the three Eevees (two normal, one shiny) crawling all over her. As his words suggest, she's wearing a hat.]

[believeit]

Riemanni-what? [That's a long name dude.]

Hey, my two that keep taking things are cats too! What is with those pokemon!

video

[shadowdive]

Yes. I have a shitty poison frog that felt it would be fun to interrupt training by sucker punching me in the gut once. Just getting stared at all creepy is hardly anything worth being concerned over, my Glaceon did that for a long time.

Heh, I don't see how you wouldn't get in trouble. Teach them not to steal, or you'll have someone complaining eventually.

video

[believeit]

Poison Frog? Hey I've got a frog too! He's really cute.

And I didn't say I was scared. I was just curious.

(YES! Totally Action ALL THE WAY!)

[bestofthebest]

(Poor Naruto. You're gonna hear quite a bit of laughter the minute you turn off the 'Gear. Guess who literally watched your entire 'confession' and listened to you at the same time?

Hint: she has multicolored hair, you had a brief conversation with her about Sasuke and she's really close by.)

Hahahahaha, you're serious? Your Pokemon injured you AND you have another that's a genuine thief?! Thought you said you were gonna be the greatest Trainer in Johto.

Action!

[believeit]

Hey no none of them have injured me, I was just asking!

[Oh he remembers this girl alright.]

And I never said it was a thief either! Shut up!

video;

[chainred]

You're responsible if they steal while they're under your care.

[ What's with this girl? She didn't even flinch when she speaks so seriously. ]

video;

[believeit]

I'm not saying they've definitely stolen something. Just wondering.

[usedshooshpap]

...Do you have a Murkrow?

[believeit]

Uh, yeah! I do!

He's weird too.

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

Archeops attacked me and everyone else who was there when she hatched. She still attacks me if I get too close to her or if I try to put her in a pokéball.

Why do you think that it's planning something? Solrock stares at people all the time and it isn't planning anything. It's just what it does. [It's still creepy though.]

[Video]

[believeit]

Because it looks....creepy. Like it wants to kill something. [Urgh. TOO CREEPY.]

So wait, what did you do with yours if it keeps attacking you?

[Audio]

[used_bubble]

Maybe it just likes you.

[Audio]

[believeit]

Eh... I dunno.

Hey! Utakata! Where are you now?

ACTION

[notchinese]

[You know who else is also staring at you and is not Yumi?]

[There's a sly grin on his face. You should be worried, Naruto.]

ACTION

[believeit]

[Great, that's all he needs now.]

Oi, not you too!

Video

[nasa_dreams]

...All the time, man.

Video

[believeit]

What, really?

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

[on the feed, Howard's got his Sneasel draped around his shoulders and a Vulpix in his lap. Both seem rather content.]

Dude. That is a creepy-ass Pokemon.

And yeah, it's totally all cool if you give it back. Or if you just said the Pokemon did it. That's legit.

[believeit]

Tell me about it. [No wonder it's a rarer pokemon, why would people willingly want one!]

Right. It's not my fault if they don't listen and run of to steal things from people. Plus I always give it back once I find them.

[ video ]

[unended]

I have one that likes to stare at me and one that likes to stare at one of my other pokemon but they've never been aggressive. [ the one that stares at him is right behind him actually, staring. say hi to Yoonjae the Xatu. ]

As for the stolen things...if you explain yourself it should be fine, I think. I haven't had that problem but I know some pokemon are prone to that kind of behaviour.

[ video ]

[believeit]

Have you ever seen one like this? I guess if it hasn't done anything by now, it might not....

[Video]

[foolishwren]

One, yeah, I had to get stitches. So don't turn your back on one that looks like it wants to murder you.

And two, YEAH.

You wouldn't believe the number of times I've almost gotten arrested because my Murkrow stashed a bunch of stuff in my backpack while I was in a store without me noticing.

[Video]

[believeit]

You're the second one to talk about Murkrows stealin' stuff. I have one of those too but he's not the one taking things.. [Suddenly suspicious of that one as well now though...]

video;

[angerpoints]

Tch, yeah. My giant fighting beetle rugby tackled me the first time I met her. Probably woulda killed me, too, if I hadn't punched her right in her stupid face and showed her who's boss.

[And if his Swablu hadn't deigned to come to his rescue... Yusuke's just gonna leave that part out, though, and skip to rollin' out the advice. NO NEED FOR TOTAL STRANGERS TO KNOW HE WAS RESCUED BY A DUMB CLOUDBIRD. He's got an image to maintain, after all.]

Anyway, maybe you should try tellin' it to get lost? Or, uh... [Upon closer inspection, that Pokemon... kinda looks like a ghost? He isn't sure, though, so he just shrugs and says:] I dunno. Call a priest? I'd tell ya to do what I did and just knock it the fuck out, but apparently it's against the rules to fight Pokemon yourself, even if they're lookin' to slit your throat.

[... which the Banette there rather looks like it is. Seriously, if he weren't used to creepy, murderous things, he'd be pretty unnerved just looking at it through the network. He... kind of is anyway, to be perfectly honest, though he's doing a pretty good job of keeping his expression neutral in the face of The Creepy. That slasher grin, man. Brr.]

As for your little kleptomaniac -- [YEP, YUSUKE HERE IS YET ANOTHER PERSON WHO SAW THROUGH YOUR LIE, NARUTO. He's not a total doofus!] -- I'm thinkin' if you told whoever it was your Pokemon had done it and just gave whatever they stole back, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Not unless that person's an asshole, anyway.

video;

[believeit]

Yeah I already got in trouble with the police the other week, I don't want them after me again for something stupid like that.. even though it's a dumb reason.

If we're attacked, we should be able to fight back.

[As for that stupid cat though...] Well it's not been too much trouble so far, the things it's taken have just been from my friends, but one of these days I know she's going to bring back something serious and It'll be my fault, urghhh.

video;

[heartdive]

In training, yeah... We all kind of wrestle around.

video;

[believeit]

Yeah but what about outside of training?

video;

[timelymaid]

Actually, a lot of ghost pokemon are prone to staring, so I wouldn't worry about it too much!

And I believe you would be held accountable for the stealing, yes.

video;

[believeit]

Araradia! [That was her name right?]

Are you some sort of ghost pokemon expert then?
