oo2 [Video/Action for Goldenrod] {backdated to sunset}

--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.]

[With both trainers on the ground and not really in the shape to give out orders, Golduck is just going to attempt to dodge that Shadow Ball. Not that it works since he's got to mind the slippery ground and Mismagius doesn't, so he'll just be getting slammed into the wall or the dumpster, whatever happens to be closer. On the brightside, with Mismagius that close, hitting her with a high pressure Water Gun shouldn't be hard. You know. Provided she doesn't phase out or anything, like some ghosts can.

The Growlithe puppy, on the other hand, has recovered enough of her wits to charge at Stitch in defense of her trainer. It seems for a moment that she's going to bite him, but instead she bolts past and grabs HItsugaya's bag, darting back to her trainer before the confusion can kick in again Not that she manages, what with it sending her tumbling head over paws and knocking the boy back down from where he'd been on his hands on knees, trying to shake off his own confusion. But, like Stitch, he's still trying to get up so they can get out of here. He seems to be having better luck, too, what with having a wall behind him for when the disorientation finally wears off.]

That's what Nanao said, yep~! I didn't notice you left at all, I expect it'll be the same for you!

[ THIIIIINK. ]

I suppose we'll see, when the time comes. We have no way to prove it from here.

[LOOOOOTS of thinking. And, hey, streetlights! He's back on the main road, finally.]

Well, Taichou, I know you've a very patient man so we can wait together!

[ she won't comment on what an awesome relief to see her captain limp to the main road. ;w; best taichou! ]

We can, if you ever get back to town. I won't be heading after you like this.

[Yes he misses her, no he won't say it aloud. He'll just keep on limping on. Not much choice otherwise, after all.]

{Awwww.... But nah, the nurses will probably force crutches upon him.}

I would - unless he ordered me not to.

{She notices that, and appreciates it muchly.}

{She nods, and turns another corner, and oh look, the Pokemon Center's within sight!}

[Considering her specialities lies in ranged and special attacks, Shriek is clever enough to keep her distance, and luckily she is fast enough to dodge the Water Gun. However, she doesn't stick to her keep-a-distance strategy and phases out, only to phase back in right in the Golduck's face, glaring at him with the Meanest of Looks she can muster. Have fun trying to escape now.]

[All the while, Stitch's been struggling to get up, but the near constant flow of water makes it hard, leaving him slipping every now and then. He's half-way, on his knees and keeping an eye out for the bag, but getting on his feet seems to be a more difficult task than he ever could have imagined. When the Growlithe darts past, Stitch throws himself at her, grabbing for the bag and succeeding in latching his hard, claw-like nails and tearing up a big hole in it.]

[Oh, that's a given. He's kind of expecting it to happen, really.]

And I doubt it would take you the entire month to get back down to New Bark if he didn't order you to stay put.

[He wouldn't be surprised if it took only two weeks, at that point.

And, yay, pokémon center! ...sort of. He really doesn't care much for hospitals or healer's wards, and it probably shows on his face as they get closer. The nurses are gonna kill him, aren't they?]

[Oh, he wasn't going anywhere to begin with! Especially not now, since even with the Mean Look, he's just too angry with this crazy ghost to turn tail. Have a Water Pulse right to your face, Shriek; that is the problem with getting too close to an angry duck who's already forgotten about the Perish Song.

Meanwhile, through the big hole in the cloth, everything in the bag spills out. There's really nothing of value in there; half full bottles of soap, the trainer's manual, an empty bento box, a couple potions, very little money, and hardly enough of anything else to make up for all this trouble. Stitch just had to jump one of the most unsupplied trainers in the area tonight, and unless he wants a four sizes too small for him Dragon Tamer outfit, well, he's outta luck in that respect.]

Aww! Don't worry, Taichou! I'll be there soon enough, okay~? Just get that leg checked out!

[ She is able to understand what a tsun taichou really means |D ]

That's what I'm doing. Hopefully it doesn't take long.

[Cause he doesn't like being stuck in hospitals, you know? It's part of the tsun thing. Hates people fussing over him. And who said he was worried? Really, Matsumoto...

And, hey, Pokémon Center! ...The nurses are going to either kill him for giving them this much work on one person or they're going to lock him inside for looking like a child and getting so banged up. This is...not gonna be fun. Hence why he stopped all of a sudden.]

Heh. Try two weeks.

{Yep, she read his mind.}

{...she's not going to see him for two hours. Dems NPC nurses be thorough.}

Exactly my point.

[She's good at that, really.

Thorough and already on their way over the second Nanao gets them inside the door. Like sharks to fresh blood in the water, really.]

...You might not want to wait here, Ise. I doubt it'll be quick.

I hope it doesn't last long either, but I don't think they allow you to film these things for confidentiality reasons. [ She'll giggle at the thought of both of these if he mentioned them, sorry, Toshiro.

But she's still worried, so she'll leave the decision to hang up to him. ]

_{As the lightweight she is, being a ghost and all, the Water Pulse catapults the Mismagius across the street, but before she violently crashes into the wall, she phases through it, momentarily disappearing from the scene entirely.]

[Stitch, on the other hand, is up on his feet by now, holding one hand against the wall to steady himself. He's disappointed, not to mention angry at this pathetic loot and it won't even nearly cover what he had to go through to get it. But he won't leave empty handed. Confident in that he won't slip, he sets off for the various items scattered across the ground, zeroing in on the money and the potions]}

[With Shriek out of the scene for the moment, Golduck is finally able to get a move on and rush to his trainer's aid. Sadly, the still confused Growlithe puppy is also doing that by rushing at Stitch, and they crash into each other in comedic fashion. With their trainer just now picking himself up off the floor, they're pretty much out of the running and Stitch has free reign to get the things and go.

Not that it's worth it, really; 150P isn't going to buy him much, and it's unlikely those potions will make up for the damage done to his team. Not the most successful haul he's had, that's for sure.]

They don't.

[Is he speaking from experience? ...Maybe but not in the way she's likely to think. Also, have a sigh.]

I'll call you when they let me out.

[Said as he steps inside, just in time for Matsumoto to see a couple nurses practically descend on him. Aaand, before he can change his mind to handle this himself--yep. End feed.]

Taichou, if there's anything I do have, it's time. I'll be here when you get out.

{She's had a while to practise it.}

{And she will relinquish him to them, and wheel over to a slightly out of the way spot to wait for him.}

[There is that, to be sure.

And hopefully she's got plenty of time, because it's nearly an hour and a half before he finally reappears, hobbling on crutches with one nurse behind him, telling him how to care for that ankle and making sure he minds the bandages. Because there are a lot of those, and if the look on her face is anything to go by, the nurse doesn't want to see him back in here till they're no longer needed. They've enough patients as it is, after all.

When she finally finishes and returns to whatever she'd been doing before hand, Hitsugaya will just be hobbling over, seemingly in a hurry to leave the building. Yeeep. Someone wants out. Badly.]

{She wheels forward to meet him, but changes her mind after seeing his face, and wheels out of the building instead.}

Do you want to go to the hotel or my house?

[He doesn't answer right away, instead choosing to lean against the wall just outside the doors as he checks something in his bag. It's also seen better days, but his stuff, and money, is still inside. Not that there's much of that, but he'd been planning to work the moment he got into town.

Of course, he wasn't expecting to bust an ankle, so...Yeeep. Just like he thought. Not enough for even one night at the hotel. Great.]

....If you still have room and you'll have me, your house would be preferable.

[Otherwise he's marching right onto the route to Ilex Forest and sleeping in a tree. He's done that before.]

_{[When Shriek emerges from the wall again, her eyes glowing red in utter rage for a moment, she then falters. She blinks, midly confused as to why she's wobbling when she remembers. The Perish Song. Five minutes left. She grins widely as she steadies herself and her eyes light up red again, yet she doesn't ready a new attack.]

[Stitch snatches the money and the potions off of the ground, stuffing whatever fits into his pocket. Then, infuriated beyond all reason (because why would you even fight that hard for something so useless?) Stitch forcefully kicks the remaining items in Hitsugaya's direction.]}

[There wouldn't have been much to attack, really; Golduck is wobbling himself, and the Growlithe pup isn't a threat either. Confusion is a nasty mistress, after all.

It's more the principle of the thing that had him fighting so hard, really. He's a scrappy one, though once he realizes what Stitch has just stuffed into his pockets, all he does is give the other trainer a very icy glare. That stuff isn't worth a fight, and he's got a team to pull together and get out of this alleyway before something else happens. No sense in picking a bigger fight that he's sure to lose. Especially with an opponent that furious.]

{Captain, Ilex Forest is four days away.}

You might have to room with someone - I have two other people staying with me, but it should be okay.

{Looking worriedly at his ankle, and then back at his face, and then down again, and then to Kiyone.}

It's a fair walk - I could have Kiyone teleport us back if it's going to be too much of a strain on your ankle.

[The forest itself, yes. The route there? Not quite. He'll manage.

And, frankly, so long as there's a roof, he's fine with roommates at the moment. What he's not fine with is the idea of teleporting, so he'll just be setting off now. Really, he's fine.]

I'll manage. I'd prefer to learn the way sooner rather than later, anyway.
