[You know what happens when you give two curious teenagers time to formulate an idea? Trouble.

Lots of it. The video shows Ilex Forest and the back of one Dave Strider as he whistles sharply to the Cranidos beside him. He's not alone there's a Jane Crocker to his left with another Cranidos. There's a thud as their pokemon hit the trees with their heads. At first nothing happens then an angry looking pineco drops out onto the grass.

Dave blinks.] What the tap dancing christ?

Oh! It's a Pokemon we haven't seen before! Let's see.. [She's fishing out her gear while approaching the Pineco, as it's actually really difficult to tell if it's expression is angry or not; it always looks a bit mad, especially compared to the dex image. The sudden glowing is a concern though, that has Jane taking a step back.] What in the --

[Boom. It knocks both of them back, sending Dave butt over heels to slam his back into the grass. The explosion shakes the trees and a ring of Pineco hit the ground. All at once they start to glow and he surges up covering the pokemon and Jane with a curse before the screen goes white.]

[Welp, no sense trying to logic out what she meant. He steers Kim into town, picking their way around slowpokes. She slows down to an easy walk because the damn things are as thick as a flock of crows.]

[moveslikestrider]

Did you catch it or just have to deal with its bs plan. [Slimer is a bastard who got Rose on camera footage of her brother and fiance kissing. Both with put out expressions on their face but still.

The footage exists. ]

[Sitting up just a little more but holding on a touch tighter, Jane looked down through all the Slowpoke.] ... Has there always been this many in town? It's like they're all out today.

action

[moveslikestrider]

Yeah there's always this many of these assholes around. It's like hey let's see who can make trip over our slow minded asses and fall into the dirt before we notice! Shit yeah best idea ever. [Dave thinks about it then murmurs to Kim. She picks up speed, moving lightly on her big paws, dodging with grace he can spot is Strider training.]

[Explaining it like that makes Jane laugh gently, holding her side briefly as laughing makes her ribs ache a bit. She can't help noticing that yeah, this movement is definitely the result of Striders.]

She's so well trained, though I suppose I don't need to be even the least bit surprised, hm?

The past Dave was an awesome trainer, naturally. We'll be there in no time at all.

voice;

[heartdive]

It's really complicated.

action

[healium]

You mean "you are an awesome trainer, naturally".

voice;

[healium]

It must be something of a doozy to understand, though I suppose it might be just as confusing if I tried to explain something from my world that didn't match up in yours.

Voice;

[heartdive]

Wonder why they haven't said anything.

action

[moveslikestrider]

Guilty as charged, but Kim's twinkle toes speak for themselves.

action

[healium]

Twinkle toes or not, wonderful job. [Gives him a pat on the back, carefully, considering they're both achy as all hell. Once Kim makes it to the center, Jane sits up fully now and waits for the dog to slow to a stop.]

Voice;

[moveslikestrider]

Who knows. Maybe they're busy or letting us stew for shits and giggles.

action

[moveslikestrider]

Exactly. [Kim slows to a stop and Dave carefully slips off her back. It takes a second before he offers Jane a hand.]

action

[healium]

[Dave you are being a freaking gentleman. Taking the offered hand to move and slip off the Arcanines back, she lets out a small oof when her feet hit the ground and winces. Wow, a nice long hot tub is in order, oh hell yes it is.]

action

[moveslikestrider]

[Ow, shit ow ow ow. Her landing is a bit jarring and he masks the wince turning it into a turn towards the center. Then like a general returning from war he walks stiff legged towards the doors.]

action

[healium]

[Following easily, she takes a few quicker steps to catch up and lean to speak into his ear before they're whisked off for check ups and pain killers.]

Just so you know, you're getting an apple pie later.

action

[moveslikestrider]

You are awesome. [Kim trots to his side, pressing against it and he grabs for her fur. Okay, he can gimp in now. The doors slide open and he thanks technology like he's making a prayer.]

action

[healium]

You are the awesome one, Dave. [Catching his other arm then to help with the gimping through the doors, she walks him to a chair and goes to the counter to get a couple nurses so she can explain what went down.]

voice;

[heartdive]

I'm used to that sort of thing all the time though.

Voice;

[heartdive]

But it's almost been a month.

action

[moveslikestrider]

[No idea what to say to that so he'll just cool his heels in the chair as Kim presses against his legs and stands guard. His peeps are very loyal.]

Video;

[unended]

I did not know that. [ it's actually a huge relief. at least he doesn't have to worry as much about mauling accidents with giant dragons and such. ]

It's weird and sounds pretty crazy but I'm kind of glad.

[timelymaid]

Oh, I caught it. A litwick was trying to lead me off, but, well - Indy is a ghost pokemon, too, and he's pretty paranoid about what the other ones get up to, probably because he has a good idea?
