Day 16 - Video

[seasaltkeys]

[Foreward dated to tomorrow afternoon]

[It starts out audio and all you can really hear is some rustling, and maybe the music of Ilex forest with the Pokemarch from the radio mixed in. After a few buttons are pushed, the video switches on, and today our wonderful photographer is Sparky. He aims the camera at Roxas, who isn't paying attention. Roxas looks like he's covered in mud, and there's a few branches in his hair. Not too far away, you can see a Chikorita. Roxas has been trying to catch it for a while, but it keeps getting away. He's got a few different pokeballs by his side as well. The apricorn type]

I'm going to get it this time. Butterfree! Use Stun Spore!

[The Butterfree flies towards Chikorita, spreading a gold dust. The Chikorita tries to run, but fails.]

Spearow, peck! That should do it!

[Roxas has been whittling down Chikorita's HP as he's chased it through the forest. It's finally low enough that he can toss a pink pokeball at the stunned pokemon, and after it's captured, he waits for the click, and upon hearing it, he relaxes, and sort of flops to the ground, pleased. After a few moments, he walks over to the ball and picks it up.]

I did it! Sparky, we finally caught Chikorita!

[Only then does he notice the video feed, but get's distracted as the pokeball glows and disappears.  He nods, figuring it's gone to the PC box, and then turns and sighs at Sparky, looking at little embarassed. He's not really sure what to say at this point, having not really intended on filming himself.]

[ooc: BBS cast who has not met Roxas, feel free to react to another Ven on your screen. Tags to come tomorrow morning]

I had to chase it down. It ran away a bunch of times.

[He takes out the sticks, a little embarrassed]

A hard-won battle, then! Those are the best kinda victories; congrats Roxas!

[he's countering that embarrassed look with a big grin and a thumbs up.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. Thanks Sora.

Of course! You've got a nickname for it, right? Oooh- you should name it Bronty!

[he is just bubbling with enthusiasm for the dinosaur idea, forgive him.]

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Bronty? I don't even know if it's a boy or a girl.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Bronty could work for both a boy or a girl! Right?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

It sounds more like a boy's name to me.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Hmm... You could name it after a friend, then?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Pause, trying to think of who he could name it after. He already has a Hayner, and it certainly isn't an Axel.]

I...I'll have to think about that. I'll have to figure out what it's like, and then figure out who that reminds me of.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. You'll keep the name Bronty in mind though, right?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I will.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Good!

So you've been doing all right, Roxas?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm alright. Things are pretty quiet here so it's nice.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Well, don't get too comfortable! We'll be having our rematch before you know it.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure to train extra hard then. Maybe I'll even have my second badge!

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I'll have one badge!

[hey, it's a start.]

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

You're going to challenge Falkner soon?

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Hopefully! I'm going to be training like crazy on the way back to Violet.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Good luck then.
