006- Video; Action for Blackthorn

[used_friendship]

[Action]

[It is early in the evening when he finally begins to stir. A hand slowly reaches up to rub at tired eyes as they blink into focus, Naruto staring up at the ceiling above him. Immediately he frowns as memories of new and old jumble together. It had felt like a dream, though it couldn't have been. Why didn't he have chakra? Oh yeah- Johto.

Feeling the presence of someone else in the room distracts him as he turns his head to the side, immediately greeted with the sight of long, flowing red hair.]

....So when are we going to Violet? [You hit hard enough to knock him out Mom, he'll concede this time.]

[Video]

[A little time later the Pokegear shows Naruto sat on a bed as an excitable Carnivine is wrapped around his shoulders, happily chewing on his head once again. Some things never change!]

So--yeah. I guess that thing happened to me, y'know, when people fall asleep and have the dreams? But they're not real dreams? [Descriptive as always. On that subject though, there are some people he wants to talk to. He should probably send them some private messages.]

Oi Neji. Sasuke. I wanna talk to you guys.

[...Or just do it that way instead. He has a pretty serious look about him for once, so they should probably get in contact with him.]

[With a huff he moves around and attempts to unwrap the Carnivine from around him. Since he has it on, he may as well ask that question he had before the coma stuff happened.]

I'm still gonna go check out that dragon place up here, the one Tenten told me about. What's the best dragon type out there? I have Ryūka-chan already, she's a Charizard now and she's grown really strong.

[believeit]

[Okay okay, it is forgotten.]

Ah! I've got one of those too- well, the egg? I got it before I ended up knocking out.

[...]

I think it looks sorta cute.

[punches]

Are you trying to flatter me? It doesn't look like a normal Eevee and it's smaller! Maybe this Pokemon is really sick or something...

[ Seems too energetic for that. ] Huh, you've got an Eevee egg too? Maybe they can play together or something. Oh! What do you plan to evolve it to?

[believeit]

Yeah but-- that sometimes happens, right? Someone told me before about getting pokemon that aren't the normal colours. They're really rare and like... special ones!

But yeah, I got one too. I think it's gonna hatch soon though, so they can hang out together! [Though the last question has him looking thoughtful.] It's the one that has lots of different types depending on what rock thing you give it, right? I dunno. What one are you doing?

[punches]

Special ones...

[ Sakura's not sure if she believes that, but there's no point in worrying about it for now. It seems healthy enough. ]

Oh, yeah. That's right. [ A nod. ] I think I'm going to go with Vaporeon. When I asked around for what Pokemon were ideal for a medic, it was a common recommendation. I guess I should wait and see though. What if this one doesn't want to evolve that way?

[believeit]

I dunno. I've never had one that didn't want to evolve before.

[He doesn't know which he will choose though.] What one do you think I should pick?

[punches]

Yes, but when there are so many options...

[ He's asking her? Sakura pauses to consider the value behind the question. ]

Isn't there a fire one? There's also a leaf, ice, electric... geez, there's so many, you can't just ask me that!

[believeit]

But you know more about this stuff than me! [He rarely looks at evolutions and pokemon types, his trainer strategy so far has mostly been DERP LETS CATCH THAT THING.]

Well... there's fire, but I already got Kurama and he's probably be pissy if I used another Fire type. And I don't need more water types, and I have a bunch of leafy ones already so.. [Hey, he is narrowing it down at least.]

[punches]

[ Holding up a finger. ]

Aha, so you don't have an electric type? Why not settle on that then? Then yours could beat mine in a fight!

[believeit]

Maybe I will! Though it wouldn't be fair on yours if they fought, would it? [That's too easy.]

[punches]

As if I'd let that happen.

[ Laughing at the thought. ] My team could beat yours any day!

[believeit]

I don't think so! my team is really awesome, and strong! [Time to boast a little.]

[punches]

[ Her's is lacking in levels and variety unfortunately. That alone doesn't scare her though! ]

Yeah, well I've got a secret strategy or two I can unleash on you if you even think about trying!

[believeit]

Ehh? What is it! [Naruto that is not how secrets work.]

[punches]

If I told you... would it be much of a secret strategy?

[ To be honest, it probably involves her beating up his Pokemon with her bare hands. ]

[believeit]

....I guess. Yah, okay, don't tell me. Do you wanna battle though? Not now, but. Some time?

[punches]

Yeah, of course I want to battle! [ Not now, of course. ]

We'll have to do it some time. Promise me we will?

[believeit]

You got it!

[NICEGUYPOSE™]

[punches]

Then it's a promise. [ Now she has a reason to actually pursue leveling her Pokemon. ]

I better give that place a call and come up with some new Pokemon to add to my roster.

[believeit]

Yeah! I wanna get more too!

I wonder if anyone's ever caught one of everything before.. you think it can be done?

[punches]

Maybe. I think there's a limit to how many you can store, but you know what? If you and me both work at it, we're sure to collect everything.

[believeit]

There is? [DREAMS. CRUSHED. Only momentarily though.]

It's a deal! We'll be unstoppable!

[punches]

[ Why did she just agree to this on whim? Oh, that's right: Naruto just makes people feel charismatic about stupid shit naturally. ]

Hahah yeah, we'll have to start coordinating our catches together!

[believeit]

[That's usually the way it happens!]

Yeah! So what are we gonna catch first? [This is a thing. A thing that is happening, Sakura.]

[punches]

Um, where are we going next?

[ Don't they need to coordinate one way or the other? ] We can decide it as we go along, if you want?

[ JUST DON'T FORCE HER TO NAME THEM ALL. ]

[believeit]

Well.. I was still gonna go to the Dragon place that's here, but I dunno after that.

[That's okay he will name them for you, Sakura. All of them.]
