twenty-third form; this should not have happened {video/action for route 36/37} (dated to 16/06/11)

[bamfsecretary]

 - wonder what that thing is, should check it out on the 'Gear. {The 'Gear's camera clicks on as it's pulled out of a pocket, and after a bit of swirling in which the ground and sky mix weirdly, the picture resolves, and this appears, simply floating in the middle of the road, stock still.}

I've got no idea what it is - what do you think of it, Shinrai?

Ri! Riolu, lu. {The camera moves - she's circling the creature, slowly moving around it, behind it.} I don't know why the PokeDex function is so hard to ena -

{There's silence for a second, and then the 'Gear clatters to the ground, and all you can see are the trees, and the Riolu shrieks as it is picked up and thrown to one side, momentum arrested by a large bush. Nanao's voice is thin and high and quiet and scared, and she sounds absolutely terrified, like something is happening that should not be happening at all, something that should not be possible in this world.}

 

No, no don't , don't do this you can't I can't I caaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 

{Then the screaming stops, just as suddenly as it began, and Nanao's knees make contact with the ground, hard and painful, and her body falls forward, face hitting the ground with a unhealthy-sounding crunch. The skin of her temple splits open, and her glasses have cracked, and her eyes stare blindly at the camera.}

 

`Shedinja's hard body doesn't move - not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell. It is believed that this Pokémon will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back.`

 

{After that, there is near silence, except for the sobbing of the baby Riolu as it drags itself back over to his mother, crying loudly. The Shedinja merely looks on, moving closer at one point. The Riolu braces itself, ready to endure an attack, but it backs away and disappears into the foliage, leaving Shinrei the Riolu oh so very alone.}

{OOC: Nanao's soul has been stolen! Feel extremely to rescue her, and any replies to the 'Gear will be made by a terrified Riolu. She's south of Ecruteak, in the vicinity of Routes 36 & 37, and her nightmare post will go up in a few days.}

She's traveling alone, isn't she? Damnnit!

[And suddenly, Aurum the Pichu pops up on the screen.]

{Translation: What happened? Are you ok?}

Aurum, it doesn't help if I can't understand what you're saying either.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Have a teary nod from the Riolu.}

Ri - riolu, lu ri! Rii, o lu. {Trans: I - I'm not sure, it all happened so fast! But, I can't feel her aura.}

{He pokes at her face some more.}

Rioluuu. {Trans: I'm scared.}

[Ed's just frowning in the background now. He just gave the gear to Aurum. Hopefully, he'll be able to figure out what the hell is going on.]

{Translation: That's awful! Where are you?}

{Translation: It'll be ok.}

[Sensing his trainer's distress, Haze the Absol noses his way closer to the Gear.]

[Video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Shinrai grabs the 'Gear with one paw and drags it closer to Nanao's body.}

I - I don't know! Her Aura went all weird, and then she threw me, and then - and then her Aura disappeared!

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Hey, I don't speak Pokemon, I don't know what you're saying! [Sorry Riolu, Envy gets a bit snappish when he's distressed. Fortunately though, Juliet the Vaporeon has heard some of the commotion coming from the other end of the 'Gear, and pokes her head up. She is completely calm and speaks with a voice of authority.]

[Calm down, child, or nobody will be able to help you or your trainer.]

[video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{hyjwjasdb oh nooo he's scary /)_(\ but Shinrai calms down a little when Juliet enters the scene.}

{I - I'm sorry, b-but she won't wake u-up a-a-and I don't know whyyyyy!}

{Sorry, Crow, she can't hear you right now. Instead have a Riolu patting at the 'Gear and making worried noises ;A; mama's not waking uppppp}

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[For a moment, Crow just stares at the camera, fear more and more visible in his eyes.

More so when he listens to the Pokedex entry.

Then he puts two and two together.]

No... Fuck, no, this can't-- Nanao!! Dammit, you can't...

[video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{And the Riolu is crying, making scared noises.}

{P-please sir h-help meeeee ;A;}

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

Riolu? Hm.. what's wrong? Where's Nanao!?

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{ ;A; dfgfdfghjhg!!! With a lot of straining and grunting, Shinrai lifts the 'Gear high enough to show Nanao's prone form, complete with bloodied face and cracked glasses.}
