4th book; in which things happen (and not all of them are good) {Text/Video/Action/Audio}

//TEXT, no filter

Natu and Skarmory eggs for sale. Four of Natu, four of Skarmory. Natu egg moves include Return and Steel Wing, Skarmory egg moves include Return and Fly. Both will take roughly nine days to hatch. Price on advance.

{Because it had to happen sooner or later. There isn't a Pokedaycare post up yet, that will go up in a while. Sherlock Holmes is also advised not to bother asking.}

//VIDEO, no filter, accidental

{Ah, what a lovely day it is just south of Violet! The breeze is blowing, the grass is rustling... And a herd of very ANGRY Mareep are staring down one very scared Natu. It is actually possible to hear the electricity crackling off them. Also visible in shot is Nanao, who seems to have just realised that three-quarters of her current team is weak to Electric-types.}

{That and she is going to have to make a heroic sacrifice if she doesn't want her tiny tennisball bird to become crispy fried. Guess which choice she makes.}

{There's a crackle of thunder and lightning, the bird goes flying in one direction (knocked out, but only partially crispy), and Nanao gets to experience what it's like when you're hit by ten Thunder Waves at once.}

{...someone might want to go help her.}

//AUDIO, six hours later, filtered to the Shinigami, Envy, Miguel, Tulio, Souji, Crow, Heather.

{She sounds hoarse and horrible. But at least she's speaking! ...or mumbling. Hooray for paralysis?} I think I'm going to leave Violet fairly soon. Got the badge and everything. Big city lights callin' my name an' everythin'.

...don' ever get paralysed. Sucks.

{OOC: The badge was mod approved!}

I do hope that little white knight was electricity-proof.

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

His Arcanine certainly was.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Arcanine is a very useful Pokémon to have. I'm certain you appreciated its ability to outrun Mareeps.

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

That I did. And it certainly got me back quickly.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Without falling prey to the dreadful Thunder Wave?

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

I think the Mareep were still trying to right themselves at that stage.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Hopefully they'll be disoriented long enough for a few waves of travellers to go through.

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

In any case, I'm certainly not heading down to Azalea any time soon.

[video]

[paladinlost]

What a shame. You'll be missing quite a lot.

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

Oh? How so?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Why, Azalea has such lovely... bugs and trees. They must be... fascinating... to watch during Spring. Or something like that.

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

I've been there once before. It's... rather boring, honestly.

[video]

[paladinlost]

[...He can't keep that fake interest up.]

I stayed almost a month there, and that was twenty days too many.

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

Last February, for me. I think I spent more time in the forest than in the town, to be honest.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Was there much snow left?

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

A foot or so; it wasn't enough to be a major hassle.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Were the bugs even slightly more interesting than the town itself?

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

For the most part, yes.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I'm glad you had something to observe there. That's more than I can say for my stay.

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

Why on earth did you stay there so long?

[video]

[paladinlost]

My group was supposed to meet there. It took some time for everyone to arrive.

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

Ah. I can see how that would have been... tiresome.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Some took their time, others disappeared, a few arrived in New Bark Town while we were there...

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

...well. That certainly is. Hm.

Different.

[video]

[paladinlost]

It was not all bad. I also had the chance to witness young love blooming amongst the trees.
