second fault; video/action for violet

[ Miyuki turns the feed on as she's flopping onto a crate outside the back entrance of the Violet City Pokémart. She's wearing what some might recognize as the apron that the Pokémart employees wear, and she takes a long drink from a bottle of water before she speaks. ]

Yo! So I'm hanging out here in this Violet place until I can wipe the floor with Bird-bro. You guys know the one.

Anyway, I need an Electric-type, but the only ones around here are those dumb-looking sheep over on Route 32. They're lame. I need something awesome. Word is some people sell Pokémon eggs around here. I've got a job now, so I can pay for one! Help me out, dudes!

[ With a grin, she turns off the feed. ]

They're not dumb.

Sheep are so not awesome, sis.

[walkinthruwalls]

They're stronger than they look. And they're not always sheep.

[comeatmibro]

Oh, yeah? Do they evolve into, like... rams?

[ Now she's a little bit interested. ]

[walkinthruwalls]

The first time they evolve they are.

I thought girls liked cute things.

[ See this eyebrow? It is singularly unimpressed. ]

You don't know much about battling, do you, bro?

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I see how you'd come to that conclusion. They're also quite good Electric-types, once they finish evolving.

[ The most put-upon sigh and a roll of her eyes. ]

Half of any battle is psychological, dude. That's why Pokémon have abilities like Intimidate. You're better off with a badass-looking team that can battle than a floofy, stupid, girly-looking team that can battle.

[ Here's that eyebrow again— ] Get it?

[There's a Pichu on the screen, but someone familiar to Mi is holding the gear above that Pichu.] Get a Pichu! Sooner or later you'll have a Pikachu, or a Raichu!

[comeatmibro]

[ That got her attention. ]

Sweet! So Pikachu's not the first stage evolution?

[Pichu salutes!]

Nope, Pichu is Johto's own addition to the series of "Awesome Electric-type Mouse" pokemon! ...They're pretty - er - difficult to train though, they tend to shock themselves with the electric attacks.

[This is still a Pichu camera. Chu the Pichu looks annoyed and shocked now. He's the best electric type pokemon ever, okay guys?!]

[comeatmibro]

Aww! [ As soon as the sound is out of her mouth, she starts a little and looks sheepish. ] They're... kinda cute.

They might not look like much, but Mareeps are pretty powerful.

[comeatmibro]

Yeah, yeah, I keep hearing that. I want something that looks cool, bro. Like a Raichu.

video;

[superrising.livejournal.com]

Well... can't disagree there. Mareep's not really what I'd consider cool.

You could ask my brother. I think he breeds pokémon, but I'm not sure if he has any Electric-type.

[ Here's a new one for you, Yuuta— ]

Who's your bro, bro?

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

What's considered an awesome electric-type?

[video]

[comeatmibro]

You know, like a Raichu! Or a... a Zapdos! But they're legendaries, so I bet I can't get one.... Ooh! Or Electabuzz!

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

Why are they more awesome than Mareep?

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Because they look more awesome, for starters! Look 'em up on your 'Dex, dude! Jolteon, too... they're fast.

[ Makoto's jogging with a Riolu-- not that she appears out of breath at all when she speaks up. ]

Any luck?

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Might be able to get myself a Pichu! I guess they evolve into Pikachus, so then I'd have a Raichu. [ Thoughtfully. ] And Kin-bro told me about Luxrays! You should look them up, sis, they're awesome!

[video]

[thisisfriller.livejournal.com]

Luxrays? That sounds like some kind of underwater...

[video]

[comeatmibro]

They're electric-types! And they're badass!
