[King Hippo hadn't been sure what to make of the red and white ball that appeared next to his sagging and very broken bed. His first instinct was to eat it, because it definitely looked like candy. Fortunately (for the Pokemon and King Hippo both), the thumb of his bulky red boxing glove pressed the button on the side just as he was raising the Pokeball to his mouth, and to his surprise, out popped a mild-mannered Chimchar. Hippo tried to punch the intruder, but the Chimchar was too quick, chittering at him angrily while hanging from the ceiling light just out of reach.]

[Then he accessed the audio file of the instructions, because he wasn't about to waste time reading them like some sort of chump! And what he heard...he liked. Pokemon love to battle, eh? He told the Chimchar they just might get along after all, and then exchanged his Pokeballs for berries.]

[He did this the next day, and the next, and the next. Chimchar had evolved into a Monferno, and learned all kinds of useful moves. King Hippo's personal favorite was Torment. This is obvious when, on this fine Sunday morning, King Hippo and his Monferno can be found outside the doors of the library picking on a scrawny nerdy kid.]

Use Torment! Do it again!

[Monferno mildly complies, and jerks the nerd's underwear skyward to deliver a supreme wedgie. The nerd howls for help.]

Gyah ha ha ha ha ha!

[OOC: Closed to Ruby Rose!]

[There's a loud BANG as he slams the device down on a table, accidentally activating the video feature. There's the lovely view of a ceiling, for the time being.

Oh, and...

That yelling you here, Genessians? That's the sound of a very angry teenager as he's glaring through a freshly broken window. Enjoy that.]

Seriously, what the hell?!

[Okay, yeah... That's the extent of his yelling. He'll resume simply huffing and being annoyed, now.]

You've gotta be kidding me... I don't even remember anyone sayin' anything about signin' up for this shit. [The sound of angry footsteps with a brief visual of the brunette storming past.]

Damn it, we don't have the money for this shit!

Hey guys! Hope you're all having fun with your Pokemon. My team is extra cute!

[She looks like a proud mother hen, hugging her collection of Pokeballs.]

We kiiiiinda ran into some bad luck today, though, my Pokemon are exhausted. So I thought I'd go shopping and get them all something nice for working so hard!

Anyone else up for a shopping trip? I hear they've got all kinds of neat stuff especially for Pokemon!

[Orihime's holding her device, which is why the feed looks a little shaky. A cute Chespin is standing in the forest clearing just in front of her, with a floating sword looking onward inquisitively...because that Chespin is GLOWING.]

You guys! Look! Charlie-chan is evolving! I've never seen this happen before, so I want to document it!

[The brightness is almost overwhelming, and the floating sword's one eye squints against the glare. Then the light fades, and something new is standing where Chespin once stood.]



......AH HA HA HA HA HA!

[Orihime can't help it. She busts up laughing at the sight of that face. The Quilladin raises a paw uncertainly to its mouth, unsure if it should be offended or not. Even the Honedge is starting to sweatdrop.]

Qu...quill?

Hooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn...

[The device is dropped and tilts to its side, showing Orihime running to Quilladin and throwing her arms around his round body.]

I love you, Charlie-chan! You're so cute!

[The uncertainty fades and it awkwardly pats her back with a pleased smile.]

Quiquill!

Oh-! [He woke up this morning and found a ball containing a little green lizard next to his bed. It looks...kinda intimidating? Not scary, but that face definitely screams "attitude" and he's not sure what to do next.] Um...hi. I've seen a lot of people with these balls lately, I guess I was just next on the list.

I read the instructions, so...I guess I'll be going to the Archway, then. I guess this should be fun!

[Minako had heard a crash not only moment ago. What she found when she investigated only got her mad. So when she uses the device she is near fuming.]

It. Happened. Again. [Twitch, twitch. She turns it around to reveal a broken window and a newspaper.] I haven't even managed to fix the first broken window and now I have a second one. [She stops being angry for a moment as she takes a breath, trying to hold back the tears. This was getting annoying and she had no money to afford the first broken window let alone the second one.]

Is anyone kind enough to give me some money to fix a window? Or a job? I mean I know I'm going to do my life coaching thing, but that takes time and I need the money now. [She goes to the newspaper and picks it up with her single hand left. She looks at it for a moment. She is slowly reaching annoyed point again.]

I also really hope to catch the guy that did it this time and teach him a lesson.
