first fault; video/action for new bark/route 29; backdated to sunday morning

[comeatmibro]

[ A shaky feed shows off some grass, spilled trail mix and an inquisitive-looking Larvitar, who looks upward and points at the 'Gear. ]

Tar.

What?

[ The 'Gear whirls wildly before focusing on the bright face and dark eyes of a tan-skinned young girl. She grins. ]

Oh, it's on. Yo! I'm Miyuki, and this is my first day as a Pokémon trainer. I'm leaving the first town now. My starter is this little guy — [ The camera returns, with that same slightly nauseating spinning motion, to the Larvitar, who raises one claw tacitly, then turns back to the girl's face. ] — who's totally gonna be awesome when he evolves.

Anyway, I'm already sick of Rattatas, big surprise, right? I've been seeing these other dudes around, like these pink floaty guys and these ones that look like raccoons. Are they any good? I don't wanna use up my Pokéballs on lame Pokémon.

And where can I get a bike? Help a girl out!

Duh? What are you, a noob? I thought you were supposed to be a genius, bro. Or is that just tennis?

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

Sorry I didn't play Pokémon. And I think that it's just tennis...and school. You know, important things.

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Oh, yeah, 'cause obviously your tennis skills and your school smarts are really helping you out here!

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't expect to end up here. If I had I would have paid more attention to Pokémon.

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Serves you right, dude! Gotta be prepared for everything! Consider it your first lesson!

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

First lesson in what exactly?

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Being awesome. Duh.

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

I don't need lessons in being awesome, Miyuki-chan. [And he can't believe she just told him he does.]

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Oh, sure, whatever, Geeeenius-bro. [ Irreverent brat, this one. ]

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

[He debates not responding, but that would be admitting defeat, so that's not going to happen. Instead, he'll change the subject.]

I bet that even with everything you know about Pokémon, you won't recognize my starter. [No one had.]

[video]

[comeatmibro]

There're Pokémon here that never existed in the games, dude! That's not even fair!

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

Life's not fair...although, I don't think she did. I think she's pretty rare in this world as well.

Did yours exist in the games?

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Nope! [ She swivels the camera back to Godzilla-bro, who's turning over a large rock to peer underneath. ]

So let's see yours!

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

[The camera shows a Bagon, who, for once, is being calm and not trying to jump off things.]

She's a Bagon.

[video]

[comeatmibro]

[ The bleep of Miyuki's 'Gear can be heard, and a second later— ]

Wow! Holy crap, dude, that's awesome!

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so at least Amelie's awesome, even if her trainer isn't.

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Well, one of you's gotta be!

[ You can tell from her grin that she's just teasing. No worries, Zaizen. ]

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

Thanks.
[Yeah, he can tell.]

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Haha, just callin' it how I see it!

Re: [video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

Brat. [But he means it in the nicest way possible.]

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Loser! [ And so does she. ♥ ]

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you're still talking to me, seeing as I'm not awesome and a loser.

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Hey, good point! A girl's gotta reputation, after all!

[ She sticks her tongue out, then ends the feed, grinning. ]
