[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…]

Ahahahahaha no.

I've seen some horses around with th'manes on fire, an' I've been wonderin' how people manage t'ride them.

Oh, well those--- I wonder myself. Maybe they don't burn people?

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

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.

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

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.

[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.
