10 :: video/action for Cherrygrove
[So after a long, grueling four-and-a-half days of traveling through the wilderness while learning how to walk properly, Dorumon and his Bagon arrived in Cherrygrove City. They spent their first night curled up in a bush somewhere, because the concept of inns is something Dorumon hasn't been introduced to yet.
When morning comes, they're hungry (and a little sore, on Dorumon's part. This whole "human body" thing is going to continue to be a pain, isn't it?) So they go to find the food that they were promised they'd find here, looking as shabby and disreputable as a trainer and Pokemon who've been sleeping on the ground and not bathing for a week can.
They do find it, eventually, thanks to Bagon's willingness to run through any pair of open doors he can find. The grocery store, Dorumon decides as he goes through picking up an armful of whatever he recognizes as food, must be this world's greatest feature. It must have very caring overseers. He's smiling as he strolls right out the door with a small pile of apples and meat...]
[video portion 1]
[Hello world, it's a Bagon! This Bagon wants to let those people from before know, via mashing his nose into the camera and growling, that his trainer isn't completely ridiculous anymore and also they found food. So now they're ready to go find you all and show you just how awesome Bagon's going to-
-wait, hold on, something's going on. The camera tilts up. Overhead, Dorumon has stopped, looking back with an expression of wary confusion. There's yelling somewhere offscreen, something about stealing and "come on back here, kid". Dorumon blinks and shakes his head, looking more wary as the seconds tick by. He glances down, then back up.
The yelling gets louder and his eyes suddenly widen. Bagon yelps. The two bolt, video jerking erratically and partially obscured as Bagon hugs the Gear to his chest and hoofs it down the street. A loud thud makes him stop and turn - Dorumon's on the ground, his stuff's everywhere, the man chasing them (the store's manager, now that he and his uniform are on video) is catching up, and...
...from there, it goes right to hell. When the man tries to pick Dorumon up off the ground, the boy just starts fighting, headbutting and yelling and flailing and doing whatever he can to resist the poor, bewildered guy's attempts to restrain a petty thief.
Bagon watches this for a minute, then lets out a battle cry, dropping the Gear. It lands face-down on the ground, picking up more muffled yelling from all three parties for a few more seconds before shutting off.]
[video end]
[After that incident, and after he had everything explained to him and apologized and bought some food properly, Dorumon and Bagon wander around Cherrygrove, eating their lunch and exploring, Dorumon looking a little embarrassed and Bagon looking a little grouchy - and both of them looking very much like they have not only been sleeping on the ground and not bathing for a week, but have also just gotten into a brawl. It doesn't stop Bagon from running up to anything that looks interesting and poking it enthusiastically. Dorumon isn't quite as energetic as that - he's got things on his mind.
Incidentally, Dorumon isn't falling over himself at every step, but he's still not a very graceful walker. They stop a lot for him to lean on walls or sit down and regain his balance.]
[video portion 2]
Where do you get money? [short and sweet.]

Where do you get money? [short and sweet.]
no subject
[You're a young non-human in a strange world where you didn't understand the concept of buying something, Dorumon...]
no subject
Now, though...that's good enough. Dorumon grins a little.] Thanks. [He made a friend!]
no subject
[Ah, the magic of friendship. Though hey, he's actually thought of something else that might be helpful.]
You know, some of the pokemon can actually produce food. You can get milk, eggs, and fruit, if you have the right kinds. There are probably even more possibilities than that out there, really. Oh, and some of them make money. Pokemon are pretty amazing.
no subject
Yeah, that didn't seem right. [shakes head.] I don't think I want to eat eggs, but...what kind of Pokemon can make money?
no subject
There are a few, I think. I know Meowth and Persian can, and my Purrloin can, but I don't think they learn that by levelling up. All three of those are cats.

[Gotta get one of them pokeballs to demonstrate.]
Okay, so this button here? [Points.] It's the release mechanism. You push it and your pokemon comes out. Either pushing it again or touching the pokeball to your pokemon puts it back in--don't ask me how they fit, I have no clue about this kind of technology.
Only an empty one can work on wild pokemon, and once they're captured, they're tied to that specific ball.
no subject
[Turning it over in his hands.
....
Boip.
Dragon in a ball!]
I wonder what it's like in there.
no subject
I don't know, but mine don't really seem to mind most of the time. This place is pretty pokemon-crazed, so I don't think they'd make it painful or anything.
