Round 4 [Accidental Video/Action for Sprout Tower]

_{[Hello, Johto. You know how it's raining like nutso crazy out? Guess ducked out of the rain by going into Sprout Tower? Chuck the Hoppip has taken to playing with the gear, while Mac and Rocky stare outside, a little bored.]}

Geez. We just got here like, yesterday and we can't even do nothin'. I guess it was nice to find out from that lady at the Pokemon center that you ain't a girl after all. ...Sorry.

Hitmonchan. Chan chan!

We're gonna have to go out into that rain, eventually. No big deal! I mean, it couldn't hurt that much to jog out in the rain a little, could it?

_{[At that moment, there's a loud thunderclap and a flash of lightning, just before the rain starts to come down even harder, if that's even possible.]}

...Or we could, y'know, just wait around n' see if it lets up a little, right?

Chan.

Hey! I bet if we're careful, we could even train a little in here, as long as we don't break nothin'! How 'bout some shadowboxin'?

_{[Mac and Rocky begin to do a little shadowboxing, weaving back and forth and throwing punches here and there. There's a quiet Pip pip! against the sound of the rain before the feed cuts out.]

((OOC: Replies will be a little late! Sorry!))}

_{[Ugh that... punching glove thing still kinda wigs her out.]}

... Jeez, are you in Sprout Tower?

Better not let those monks catch you.

Wh-

_{[Oh geez, the gear is on. Uh...]}

Y-Yeah! Yeah, I am!

Are...are they gonna get mad? I mean, we ain't gonna break nothin', y'know? We'll be careful.

Well, they're monks. They're like, always mad.

_{[... Don't... pay too much attention to her, she's just got a horrible grudge against religious people.]}

Always mad...?

Ya sure ya didn't just like, bust somethin' here or whatever?

I've never even been in there.

_{[SHE JUST DOESN'T LIKE MONKS.]}

You've never been in, but you know they're always mad?

Maybe they're mad because you're makin' assumptions about 'em n' stuff!

_{[Make sense? Mac doesn't know how to do that.]}

Well, they DID keep some friends of mine locked up in there for like a week.

_{[because it was flooding Heather jeez you are so biased.]}

Wh-

That's...

What?

You heard me.

_{[... She's leaving out the part that the monks had kept people locked in because there was a friggin' FLOOD outside and they didn't want anybody to DIE, but yeah.]

[Still, shutting people up in a tower full of ghosts and old people was not okay. >8(]}

Jeez, maybe I should consider gettin' outta here then, huh?

I mean, a little rain ain't gonna kill me or nothin'...

Well, I sure wouldn't wanna be stuck in there, if that counts for anything...

_{[Some how, the place seems just a little creepier than it did before.]}

...

Yeah, I think I'll be gettin' outta here soon.

_{[EMPHATIC THUMBS-UP GESTURE from Heather's end.]}

[Here is a young lady and her Hitmonlee, peering curiously at the video feed.]

Hey! Uh, sorry to interrupt your training, but... Is "Hitmonchan" what his species is called?

Yeah!

I mean, I guess it is. I mean, that's what the Pokédex says, anyway.

Huh. I was curious, 'cause Bruce here is a Hitmonlee. You think maybe they're related somehow?

Hitmonlee, huh?

I dunno, maybe...

Does he do like, wicked cool punches n' stuff?

Actually, he does wicked cool kicks! Just like my fighting style! He did punch sometimes back when he was still a Tyrogue, though.

He evolved from a Tyrogue, too, huh? Hey, so did Rocky! Maybe they are related!

You said he kicks, though? And Rock here is all about the punches. Huh...

Wait, Rocky was a Tyrogue, too? Huh, that explains why their names sound alike. But I wonder why they evolved differently... Maybe it's the way we trained them?

Maybe...Yeah, that's gotta be it! I'm a boxer and Rocky turned into a boxing Pokemon! And you said your style is like, kickin' n' stuff, right?

A boxer, huh? Cool! And yeah, it's all about kicking! Been teaching myself to fight since I was a kid. That's pretty cool, huh? A Pokémon who can evolve differently based on how it's trained!

Edited 2011-04-03 06:43 (UTC)

Heh. I guess it is kinda cool. I didn't even know Pokémon could change until just a little while ago, but they all change different. Huh...

Since you were a kid? Whoah! Man, I didn't seriously even learn to box until, like six months ago! Or...like...it was six months back home anyway. And even then, I wasn't self taught or nothin'! I had a coach.

[just walks into the tower soaking wet but cool with it and see what going on but is a little confused]

If your going to fight should try to hit each other.

_{[Mac stops his activity and looks over at him.]}

Aw, we ain't really fightin', we're just shadowboxin', y'know? Practicin'!

Practicing wouldn't you rather spar.

I guess sparrin' wouldn't be bad, but...it would feel a little weird sparrin' with a Pokémon.

I play assassin tag with my pokémon it was fun.

...Assassin Tag? What is that, some new kid's game or somethin'?

Its a game where you spar with a another person while your pokemon try to tag you with their attacks.

Wh-

_{[Oh, man, what are kids learning these days?]}

That...sounds real intense. It does sounds like real good trainin' though...

Its a great way to train for everyone. It keeps you on you alert and ready for anything.

Maybe I'll try it. I mean, Rock's punched me plenty since I met him, so even if he does manage to hit me, it's not a big deal...!

You can try it when the weather let's up. You would need to have more room than this.

_{[Mac looks around. Yeah, not the ideal training space.]}

I guess you're right. 'Course with it rainin' like this who knows when it'll stop?
