[07] [Video - Action for Ecruteak]

[k9tantei]

The feed shows a lovely evening in Ecruteak, with (1) teenage detective wandering out to the park to flop bonelessly in the grass; Baskerville is carrying what looks to be a brand-new saddle sized and designed for a Houndoom, while Heiji’s dropping a shinai and set of kendo pads next to him. Of course, anyone who’s gotten to deal with riding – be it horses back home or Pokémon here – would probably recognize the uneven “Oh god I didn’t even know I had those muscles” stagger of someone who has never ridden before, yet has gotten the brilliant idea to go on an extended ride – it’s hard to tell what’s from the five day long trip from Olivine, and what’s from doing so bareback on a giant dog with bony ridges on its back.]

Saaaaaaa….. ‘m never gonna have kids… [It’s a tiny, despairing whimper.]

[At which point he slowly shifts the arm he’d thrown over his face to look over at the camera… and the Jynx who’s holding it…]

Achfpfh- YUKI! Y’DON’T NEED T’RECORD EVERYTHING! That’d better not be broadcasting! [He sits upright sharply, grabbing at the gear, and is answered with some very happy-sounding gibberish before the Gear is turned off and handed over.]

[HIS MOTHER WOULD BE PROUD. Now she just needs to find a way to send the videos to Osaka…]

We will, won't we?

[... gosh he hopes Hattori doesn't figure out the fish thing]

Check the bike shops.

Yeah for that amount of pain... 4000 is definitely cheap.

An' it's an accomplishment I don't plan on ever repeating.

Gotta be somethin' like that. I'm not even gonna try'n figure out how pokémon can get selective about things like that - I'm just gonna be glad that I don't end up on th'ground whenever Yuki uses Sing.

No bike shops in Olivine, an' I wasn't lookin' forward t'walking for two weeks... an' at least Bas won't get tripped up by tree roots or rocky terrain; gettin' thrown off a bike movin' at a good clip kinda hurts even if you're lucky enough t'not break your neck.

[] Really cheap.

Is that doubt I hear?

[bakaitoukid]

Only in your imagination.

If you did there would no longer be a question what I'm saluting you for.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're just so used to their bodies, they can control these things a lot better than we could.

[video]

[justicereigns]

Maybe there's a way to get shipped by bird?

[video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Well, there's an HM for it y'get from one of th'gyms if you've got a flyer that can carry you; don't ask me why y'get the badge that lets you use it t'travel an' the HM itself from two different gyms.

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Yanno, that's probably it; considerin' what I've seen mine do an'that I don't get shocked every five minutes carrying Momo, an' how their powers work, I probably shouldn't be too surprised. After all, they're pretty much born with this stuff.

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

That's good t'hear; hate t'think you'd set yourself up for a fall like that.

[video]

[justicereigns]

That is a bit bizarre.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

C'mon, I'm not that stupid.

[except he might have is Hattori finds out the fish thing but--]

[video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Then we'll just see how much I can find. 'Less you want t'get this over with th'easy way.

[video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

That's Johto logic. Y'start t'get used to it after a while.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[so amused] And do your job for you? Keh, maybe in your dreams.

[justicereigns]

I've been here over a year, and before that I traveled the Grand Line. I'm not so sure getting used to it is even possible at this point.

[video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

I think I might be gettin' desensitized to it or somethin'. I keep tellin' myself that just because it doesn't follow th'logic I'm used to, doesn't mean it doesn't have logic t'the rules it works under. []

[video] *needs to beat the Sag out of him one day*

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

I'll just take that as an invitation t'show ya what I can do.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

I'll be waiting~

[video]

[justicereigns]

Eh, the Grand Line is pretty strange like that. Rather than focusing on the seeming impossibility of ships using tree sap bubbles to sail under the ocean, it's best to just focus on the effects what it does and how to deal with it.

[Smoker's a detective too, but his marine curse just makes him suspicious.]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Pretty much that actually. I'm pretty sure if they weren't born that way, they couldn't get used to these things that we definitely can't control.
