--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.]

[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.]

_{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.]

_{[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.]

_{[Shriek keeps grinning as she's called back to her pokéball, on the brink of fainting being saved from the haunting echoes of the Perish Song.]

[Stitch is tempted to send out Thing, his Jumpluff, just to finish them off and pour salt in the wounds. But he doesn't, instead spitting and swearing furiously, both in english and his own alien tongue. He waves his fists around, baring his way-sharper-than-average teeth in a way to look intimidating, but still standing at a safe distance from the other.]}

Gaba ika tasoopa, toobaga!

[After facing down worse looking creatures for years, all that swearing and flailing does little to intimidate Hitsugaya, and the glare remains on his face even as he raises a single eyebrow.]

Are you quite done? You have what you came for, so I suggest you leave.

[It's probably not the best idea to antagonize this guy even if he's keeping his distance, but it's been a very long day, and watching someone else throw a tantrum never ends well for a boy with a fuse even shorter than he is.]

_{[Stitch growls and narrows his eyes. Hitsugaya is right, he did get what he came for, but he's not pleased with it! For a moment it looks like he's gonna approach again, fists curled.]}

You, choota...

_{[He doesn't finish and instead just snorts, yells something else in Tantalog, most likely something obscene, before he turns tail and runs, turning a corner and soon disappearing in the dark.]}
