[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.]

Jane sent me a Carnivine! Egg-wise, I've got a Cubone and a Scyther from the Centre, recently.

[moveslikestrider]

Sweet. Scyther is cool, that's what Bro had last time. And Cubone...has the skull on its head, right?

[timelymaid]

Right! According to the pokedex, that skull belonged to Cubone's mother, but I don't see how that's the case if it hatches from an egg with the skull intact.

...Sometimes I have to wonder how much of this pocket horror they slip into Pokemon. What motivated someone to go okay what's the saddest thing you could ever hear.

[timelymaid]

Some of the entries in the 'dex make that theory entirely plausible, really. Have you ever read them over?

[moveslikestrider]

Yeah when I'm in the mood to be depressed. And John is my best bro don't get me wrong but, ghosts all have this desire or nack to scare kids.

[timelymaid]

They do! Actually, a few of the ones I met here tried to lead me off for mischief and...well.

[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. ]

[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?
