Roxas [Cause I need freedom now]

[Today's video starts in the woods, being propped up by some tree branches. It's recording a pokemon battle.

Roxas stands in a battle position with Joltik on his head, Sparky the Pikachu on his right and Xion the Luxray on the left. They're facing down a rather larger hoard of nidorans, yanmas, growlithes, and various other wild pokemon in the area. If anyone gets a good look at Roxas, they would notice a yellow glow about him, as well as the fact that his hair is defying gravity more than usual.

There's a pause for a moment and then battle is on. There's electricity flying everywhere and Roxas is in the thick of things, tossing out electric attacks with the best of them. Thunderwave and thunderbolt and spark and it's amazing that the forest is largely intact after this fight.

The dust finally settles and Roxas goes to face the gear.]

I was feeling better, so I went out to train and that happened. Next thing I know, I'm able to use pokemon attacks and wild pokemon are coming after me like crazy.

[He looks over his shoulder to see more pokemon coming. He raises his hand and it crackles with electricity. The screen starts wavering and making a weird popping, static sound before it cuts out.]

What exactly's go---[kzzzt! sshkshkshskshk!]

[ooc: So Roxas shorted out his gear. Any video responses will come several hours later as he had to ask Namine to get him a new gear. Hopefully, rubber gloves will prevent him from doing that again. For action, he's in and around Goldenrod.]

[Johto's acting weird again. It's something Roxas has grown used to in his near two years of living there. It's the first time he's been transported though. Not that he went far. When the light fades, Roxas finds himself on top of the Bell Tower in Ecruteak City.]

Wow. You can see all of Johto from here!

[It's a pretty amazing sight, and it doesn't look like any monks have noticed that Roxas is up there, so he's just going to enjoy it. There's a small tug at his pant leg, and he has a Pikachu passing him a sea salt ice cream bar. Best thing for a day like today.]

Never thought I'd end up here. I wonder if that legendary will show up?

[That legendary he is wondering about is, of course, Ho-oh. But there doesn't seem to be any sign. Just a curious little Azelf floating behind his head. And reaching out to steal Roxas's ice cream.]

Hey! Give that back!

Azelf!

[Nope. Azelf's just gonna float away with the ice cream, leaving Roxas no choice but to chase after it. Someone want to give him a hand? Or not?]

[Part A]

[Action; 6:30 AM]

[If you are staying at Minnie's house in Olivine, and happen to be awake early in the morning, you may encounter Roxas doing some cleaning, as he feels that he should pull his own weight there no matter what Minnie says. He'll be sweeping the floors and dusting and mopping and doing his best to make everything clean. Nothing breaks, surprisingly enough.]

[Part B]

[Action; 8:00 AM]

[Roxas has finished cleaning now, and is now passed out on the couch fast asleep. Sparky is flopped on his head.]

[Part C]

[Action/Video; 2:00 PM]

[Battle with Jasmine. Roxas wins his sixth gym badge! Stunning victories by Axel the Growlthe, Sparky the Pikachu, and Aggron! He can be found outside the restaurant eating his victory ice cream, and dealing with the fact that Aggron wants to be cuddly. Despite being a giant steel dinosaur. It's really just a big suck.

He recorded the gym battle, since it's a habit now, and will be accepting video calls.]

[Part D]

[Action; 7:30 PM]

[Roxas can be found on the roof of Minnie's house, watching the sunset and admiring the Mineral badge. It's been a satisfying day, he thinks, but he's kind of melancholy. Watching the sunset after a productive day always brings back memories of an old friend.]

[ooc: All parts are up for grabs, however, kindly indicate which part you are responding to in the subject line. Thanks]

[Roxas is out training today on Route 38, just outside of Ecruteak.]

Huh? Pika?

[He bends down and takes off his backpack, opening it to reveal the egg he got for Easter. Seems like it's hatching time!]

Already?

[Not that Roxas really has any more time to comment, as the egg breaks open and...]



Oof!

[It takes a few minutes for things to get sorted out, but when the feed is actually showing something useful again, it's Roxas, flat on his back with an Aron on his chest. It seems to be quite cuddly. And very heavy. As physically fit as he is, Roxas can barely move with a 132 pound pokemon on his chest. Sparky's trying to help him out but it doesn't seem to be working. Roxas tries for a moment to push it off but no such luck. So he's just kind of lying there, on Route 38, with an Aron on his chest. At least it's kinda cute, right?]

[Feed clicks on to see a pretty fierce pokemon battle going on. Roxas is going for the Plain badge today, and he seems to be doing pretty well. Girafarig and Clefable. All that's left is Miltank]

Slowpoke, use headbutt!

[A pink blur that seems to stun Miltank]

Use Rollout!

[Miltank curls into a ball and speeds towards Slowpoke. Roxas tells him to dodge but it doesn't work. He recalls Slowpoke]

Your foe's weak, Sparky! Get him!

Ka-chu!

[Another rollout, that Sparky managed to dodge, and then counters with Slam, which stuns the Miltank]

Finish it with thunder!

PI-KA-CHU!

[The bright light of the attack fills the screen, and when it fades there is one knocked out Miltank, and one satisfied Pikachu. Who might be posing. Roxas just has a bit of a smirk. At least, until Winry starts crying]

Uwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! You big meany! Just take the stupid badge!

[Roxas catches the badge deftly. But isn't so successful with the squirtbottle. Sparky catches the TM]

You know, it was a good battle. You shouldn't cry.

[And with that, he'll pick up the pokegear and leave the gym, feeling pretty pleased with himself. If you want action, you can catch him just leaving the gym or getting ice cream. Because even though it's cold the situation calls for ice cream. If your name is Vanitas you will be getting text. I'll still be tagging the Christmas entry as well, if you want to continue a thread there.]

[The feed clicks on. The pokegear's being held by Fearow today, since Roxas has his hands full. He's managed to save enough for a bike. Not that he knows much about bikes, but he's seen people in Goldenrod with them and they look useful, so he figured he could try it to. He figures it's all about balance and he's good at skateboarding, and that involves balance, so it shouldn't be too hard, right ? Right? 

So, he's on the bike, and after a few wobbly starts, he's on his way, sort of. Slowly but surely, he's moving forward. He's getting the pedalling part, and making his way down the street, which is on a bit of a hill, and oh no starting to speed up how do I stop? The image kind of gets distorted at this point, as Fearow has taken off to follow Roxas, but you can hear sounds of the bike and cries from the pokemon, especially Sparky.]

PI--CHU!!

KER--AAASH!!!

[The image finally gets back to normal, only to show a rather bent up bike in front of a lamppost. Roxas is lying beside it, sort of tangled up in it. It's obvious that his pants are torn, and his  elbow and knee are scrapped. The feed doesn't catch it, but it's the same for the other elbow, and he's got a bump on his head. He doesn't look too happy, or willing to get up.]

Damn it.

[ooc: First action post will be the one to take Roxas to a place to treat injuries like the inn or pokemon center. Subsequent action threads will be at either aforementioned location to avoid confusion. Video probably won't get you Roxas, but a rather panicked Pikachu. Tags will be slow and most will probably come tomorrow morning]

[The pokegear is lying on the ground, staring up at pixilated trees and grass. It's weird, kind of creepy. There's sounds of a battle going on, but they end shortly. Roxas picks up the pokegear, but he doesn't look pleased. In fact, he looks sort of panicked. Sounds panicked to]

Sparky just went into his pokeball. He never goes into his pokeball. He's always with me.

None of my pokemon are acting like they usually do.

What's going on?


[ooc: Again, forward dated to tomorrow. I'm busy tonight so I just wanted to get it up. Replies probably won't come until tomorrow though.]

[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]

[The pokegear's on, and recording, but Roxas is nowhere to be seen. Actually, you might be able to see his hand. He's sleeping. But Sparky isn't]

Chu?

[A face appears on the screen, but it's not Pichu, it's Pikachu! Sparky finally evolved, but Roxas was too tired to say anything about that. It's still the same Sparky though, and when he realizes the pokegear's on, he's gonna show off. There's a lot of waving at the screen as he starts talking about a battle earlier today. ]

Pika! Pikapi, PIkachu! Pi---pikachu!
