digitalorunknown: (angry - snarl)
[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.]

[video]

What are you following me around for?

[The muffled voice is that of a young boy; about eleven years old, by the pitch, sounding tired and confused. It's followed by a Bagon's babble, then a sigh.]

Never mind.

[There's a clatter, then the 'Gear's audio abruptly clears, as though the mic were moved away from an obstruction. The video clears, too, showing a view of trees and sky and grass on Route 29. A few seconds of silence.]

You shouldn't make a mess of things. [rustle.] What's in there, anyways...? [rustle clunk scrape clatter.] Are these clothes? [thump.] I think this is food- [The Bagon babbles loudly, and the boy yelps, and the 'Gear flips over twice. The video now shows the Bagon running around, Mom's bento lunch in hand, biting the box determinedly. The boy is standing up, watching helplessly.]

Wait, don't take that! It's not yours, it - oof-! [He takes two unsteady steps, leans forward, and falls over. The Bagon hops up onto his back and sits down on top of him, still chewing away on the box.] Let me up..!

[action]

[Before that elegant scene takes place, a purple-haired kid in Youngster garb can be found in New Bark, stumbling his way out of town and falling over every twenty seconds or so. The Bagon orbiting his feet appears to be offering him moral support...or maybe it's just yelling at him. He looks pretty determined to get out to Route 29, scraped knees be damned.]
