--can't believe this...where's that map...
[Evening, Johto. It's about sunset as the video comes on, though it's pretty much by total accident. The owner of this gear, one obviously rumpled and tired Toushiro Hitsugaya, doesn't even notice the thing is recording as he tries to get the map from his bag. Of course, it's useless in the back alleys of Goldenrod, which is where he appears to, and judging from the expression on the face of his Golduck standing behind him, they're lost.
Yep. His sense of direction in a town this large that he's never been to, is absolute crap and he knows it if the expression on his face says anything about that.]
We'll have to turn back. Come on.
[He turns to leave the alleyway and retrace their steps, Golduck right behind him and the flashes of orange fur at his ankle showing his Growlithe is right at his side. But then the puppy stops suddenly, turning to the entrance of another alleyway that the sun is just shining through, growls, and darts into it before her trainer can grab her.]
Hey---tch.
[He chases after his Growlithe, only to stop when he gets halfway to her and appears to see something from the corner of his eye. He turns his head, but before either he or anyone watching can see what caught his attention, a cream streak darts out from the shadows and his Growlithe starts barking again.
Of course, it's too late to do anything about that, and Hitsugaya loses his footing as the streak, obviously some kind of quadrupedal pokémon, lashes out at his face. The gear goes flying from his hand and skitters across the ground, turning off upon impact with something but not before there's a tremendous crash, the sound of breaking glass, and a surprised cry from the young man in the alley. Seems trouble follows him wherever he goes.]

she'll find out!! just you wait!!!!! SHE HAS THE BEST LUCK after all ]

Date: 2011-09-06 09:10 am (UTC)Or, you know, stumbling because he limped over an uneven piece of ground. His luck sucks, because there's no way she wouldn't see that limp now.
Her luck, on the other hand, has never failed her to this day. And it certainly hasn't yet!]
{Action}
Date: 2011-09-06 11:10 am (UTC){As far as she's concerned, he's just another one of her not!children at the moment, and so he'll be treated as such - awkward moments such as this just come as standard.}
As you wish, Hitsugaya-san. Besides, how many days have you been walking?
{Never mind that she can't actually see where she's going. She's got Kiyone to be her eyes.}
{Action}
Date: 2011-09-06 11:33 am (UTC)Since I got back. I didn't stop for long in Cherrygrove or Violet.
[Yeeep. He's been walking practically non-stop for almost three weeks. No wonder he looks so worn out, though he doesn't seem to care, really.
And if Kiyone's her eyes, Golduck is her rear guard; nothing's getting past him when he's around!]
{Action}
Date: 2011-09-06 11:59 am (UTC)That's certainly impressive - I don't think I'd be able to do such a thing.
{Poor little shota - and ow, that was a definite bump}
{Together they are the best bodyguards in all of Johto!}

Date: 2011-09-07 04:47 am (UTC)You'd be surprised what you might be capable of, Ise. Especially if you're driven by something.
[Okay, ouch. Whoever paved these streets is getting a Growlithe to bite their ankles if icy shota here ever finds 'em.]
[The best bodyguards in all the worlds, even! No alley cats with a taste for blood have followed them out, at least. People will look at them because they're certainly one odd looking procession.]
[action]
Date: 2011-09-07 05:01 am (UTC)Sadly, however, Golduck doesn't have the best training in the world; it's highly likely that the Confusion is only going to stun the Seviper if it does anything at all. But, hey, all's fair when getting attacked. Or something like that.]

Date: 2011-09-07 08:11 am (UTC)WHAT THE HELL WAIT NEVER MIND SHE'S REALLY DISTRACTED RIGHT NOW.
GOD HER LUCK SUCKS. ]
T-Taichou!? Are you all right?! Your leg looks pretty bad!
no subject
Date: 2011-09-07 08:27 am (UTC)But really he's fine. Just dusting himself off and starting that walk again. Slow as he gets, but still.]
I told you I'm fine, and I meant it. It's just a sprain.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-07 08:34 am (UTC)AND NOW YOU'LL PAY. ]
Taichou, you look really injured! How can you be waling with a sprain?! It looks awful! Call the police now! They'll pick you up and bring ou to a city where there's medical assistance!
no subject
Date: 2011-09-07 08:38 am (UTC)Doesn't mean he can't make "this is just business" linefaces, though. Have one of those, Matsumoto. Have several, in fact. He's. FINE.]
Will you calm down? I'm in a city already, and I've walked with worse before. Once I get back to the main road, it'll be over.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-07 08:42 am (UTC)That's right! He's in goldenrod! ]
That's right! You're in Goldenrod! Just... take care okay? And get that foot checked out. I don't want to be known as the lieutenant to the taichou with the ugly foot.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-07 08:50 am (UTC)Where do you think I'm going? I know better than to leave this unattended for long.
[That and he's got several other scrapes he can't handle on his own. Even he knows better than to avoid help sometimes. ...very few times.]
no subject
Date: 2011-09-07 08:53 am (UTC)I don't know! You're usually the no help man so you seem to be self-isolated. I hope you get that ankle heal, okay~? Maybe even a cast too so I can sign it and we can take it home with us as proof that we were here.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-07 09:42 am (UTC)It's doubtful this is going to actually require a cast. You'll have to find something else if you want a souvenir.

Date: 2011-09-08 10:00 am (UTC)To keep him company, he releases Bi-Han the Chikorita from his Pokeball.]
[action]
Date: 2011-09-08 10:24 am (UTC)She's gone quickly once she's sure that her patient understands, heading back to her other duties while Toushiro just walks back to the lobby to head out before he stops, dead in his tracks and surprised. He wasn't expecting to see China still here, after all.]
You stayed.
[action]
Date: 2011-09-08 10:45 am (UTC)[It stops mid-attack, clearly disoriented and cringes back as the Confusion attack sets in full force. He's still in place for a while, wobbling a bit before he shakes it off.]
[This time he quickly slithers closer to the Golduck, making quick, sharp turns to avoid any further attacks.]
[action]
Date: 2011-09-08 10:56 am (UTC)That something being a rather loud Screech attack; it might not be able to harm or even confuse the target, but any distraction is a welcome one as Hitsugaya puts his back to a wall and prepares to run, trying to find Stitch in the darkness so there's no collision when he bolts.]
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 01:53 pm (UTC)SHE KNOWS HE DOES! ]
Um, um, .... what about ...hm... quick! Taichou! Suggest something we can take home as a souvenir!
[action]
Date: 2011-09-08 10:40 pm (UTC)[Meanwhile, Stitch is still hiding in the safety of the shadow, but keeping an eye out for the Golduck's trainer. He might have something of use on him, after all.]
[action]
Date: 2011-09-09 05:01 am (UTC)An eye out for a trainer who's shorter than most and also sticking to the darkness? Not the best idea. However, Stitch will most likely hear him as he runs across a large puddle left over from Golduck's Water Gunning as he heads for the mouth of the alleyway. Whether or not he's got anything of use on him is still up in the air, however.]
no subject
Date: 2011-09-09 05:02 am (UTC)A Pokéball would be simpler to take with us than anything else I've seen so far.
