Bond 003 [Video]

[megabond]

[As the video starts, you can a dark blue bipedal dragon creature with black sclera and yellow eyes looking towards the camera somewhere in a park in the middle of the afternoon. It seems to be curious at the device in front of it until you see Sycamore approaching the creature.]

Garchomp, could you excuse me for a second?

[He then grabs the phone away from his Pokemon and turns to the camera with a smile.]

I'm sorry about my Garchomp. She's really in a good mood today, so I had to take her out around the Garden Park for her to get some exercise.

Speaking of which, does anyone want to join me here? It doesn't matter if you don't have any Pokemon. It's been a few months since my arrival here and to be honest, I think Garchomp might need some company other than me.

And don't worry, she's actually a sweetheart once you get to know her.

I've never seen a Garchomp before. That's a pokemon? Dave mentioned them but he never said they were this big.

Re: [Video]

[megabond]

[A robot... Well, that's a first for him, not including Clemont's robot replacement as Gym Leader.]

Yes. Back in my world, there are different kinds of Pokemon living there with different kinds of types and species. For Garchomp, she's a Ground and Dragon-type Pokemon and the final evolution of Gible.

[k2so]

[A droid, yup, but one that is used to interact with humans and behaves mostly like one.]

She's really impressive looking. [So big. Kay likes big things that look wonderful. Unless we are talking about planet-destroyer superweapons, that's it.]

And here? Do you know where to find a pikachu?

[megabond]

I don't know. I heard that Pokemon once appeared in and out in this city two times. But even if it returns, I doubt you can find some Pikachu in here.

[Unless he might know someone in this city owns a Pikachu, he doubt he can even find one right here.]

[k2so]

Ah, shame then. Thanks you for the information.

[There goes Dave's wish.]

I'm Kay.

[That's a big Pokemon. It's not that Tori's unfamiliar with Pokemon entirely -- she certainly isn't, since they've shown up here before since she's been around -- but still... wow. Sort of cute, in a way. But that's besides the point here, isn't it?]

Garden Park, huh? I live at the apartment building across the street with my boyfriend! If you want tag alongs, I wouldn't mind being one. I could do with stretching out my legs a little, you know~?

[Besides, the guy who's offering is kind of cute. Probably a bit older than her, but still cute. ...hey, just because she has a boyfriend doesn't mean she can't point something like that out to herself.]

Re: [video]

[megabond]

Sure, if you want to come right now, we're right nearby the pond.

[Sure, she has a boyfriend, but he can't ignore a new face in this city.]

[video]

[gundesign]

[She's not so much new as she is finally emerging after being buried in her work (which we're going to go with to explain her absence while her player has been bad at tagging, ahem), but she sure is full of excitement to be doing something else. Working on amazing clothes may be her passion, but she can't ignore the calling of being around other people either.

And, again, this one is cute. She can look as long as she doesn't touch.]

Sure thing! I'll be there in a few minutes. See you then~

Re: [video]

[megabond]

Okay, I'll be waiting.

[Once the video is done, he then waits for the new girl to arrive as he watches his Garchomp wandering around the pond.]

[video]

[gundesign]

[Tori arrives at the pond a few minutes later, quick to give a cheerful wave once she spots the handsome man and his Garchomp.]

Hey there~!

[stairsbro]

Where do you get the Pokemans?

Re: video;

[megabond]

[Yeah, that's the whole point of being a Pokemon Professor.]

Well actually, I actually got her back in my world before I arrived here.

[stairsbro]

Oh. So. There aren't, like, any here for aspiring pokedudes? What's that world like?

Re: video;

[megabond]

Back in my world, people who capture and train them are called "Pokemon Trainers". While some of them kept them as pets, most of the trainers let their Pokemon pit each other in a Pokemon battle, mostly just for entertainment or bonding with their Pokemon partners.

[stairsbro]

So it's a world with legalized cockfighting? Okay. Say I was highly interested in being a trainer. What's the steps to getting into this?

[Video]

[youfool]

Sure, that sounds fun! My own could stand to broaden their company, too. Is she much for battle, or...?

Re: [Video]

[megabond]

[Well, he does remember that he has a Gengar with him. But...]

Yes, she's actually very strong when it comes to a Pokemon battle. But I don't know about it right now. It might ruin the whole park when we do.

Re: [Video]->[Action]

[youfool]

Heh, your concern for public property is well placed. We'll have to arrange something privately; if I'm not mistaken, she might even bear a type advantage. Wonderful! He could use some adversity.

All right, I'll meet you there!

[Without further ado, Ted's on his way, skirting alongside the center lake, darting around the agility course, and on the lookout for the proffered Professor.]

[Action]

[megabond]

[Before he can even say anything else, Ted already turned off his phone. He just sighs at this as he wonders what he plans for this Pokemon battle. Then after a few minutes, he notices Ted somehow looking around to find him. He didn't want to disturb the parkgoers, Sycamore just waves at him, hoping that he might see him.

If he did see him, he just sighs at what he might expect to this as his Garchomp approaches him and Ted, wondering who is that latter.]

Well, I might accept your challenge, but like I said before, we might destroy any of the park's properties if we let Garchomp and Gengar battle right here.

Re: [Action]

[youfool]

[He chuckled, then raised a hand.]

"Hah, stay your bloodlust, Augustine. This is a social visit, I assure you. Exercise can come later, eh? Hello there, Garchomp!

[Despite the beast's fearsome appearance, Ted motions to pet her.]

It's funny; had your owner not stated your sex, I'd never believe you were a female of the species. Aren't pokemon strange? Such varied aesthetics, yet hardly a scrap of sexual dimorphism. Goodness knows how they tell each other apart; probably the same way they understand one another's speech. A mystery only known from the inside. Oh! Shouldn't be selfish. Here's you-know-who.

[A click, a flash, and there was Gengar, not quite as spirited as the Professor might remember. The grumpy ghosts raises a non-committal hand in greeting.]

"Say 'hello', Gengar. With luck I've found another playmate for you."

["Gengar gargeng", the grumpy ghost muttered, meaning "Whatever you spiky weirdo. I'm tired. I'll beat your butt later.]

"Heh, forgive him if this poltergeist isn't at his pluckiest. Ever since our last meeting I've intensified his regimen. He's not used to working so hard. I've even tried feeding him vitamins; he doesn't much like them, sadly." [Gengar stuck out his tongue, all too eager to register his disgust.]

[sizedoesntmatter]

I'd be happy to join you. I mean... My pokemon should really get acquainted with others who have pokemon as well.

[Plus is was a good way to be able to make friends at least to him.]

Re: video;

[megabond]

[As he already knew about the previous Pokemon phenomena occurred in this city before his arrival, Sycamore can guess that this young man might be one of the few residents who owns a Pokemon. Although, he's a little surprised at his hairstyle.]

Sure, Garchomp would love to meet your Pokemon. I just don't want her to be lonely right here in Genessia.

video;

[sizedoesntmatter]

Yeah, I mean it's easy to get lonely sometimes here even though it's a huge city.

[He knew from some experience really.]

Re: video;

[megabond]

Before I forget, what is your name, young man?

video;

[sizedoesntmatter]

Ah, my name is Yugi. Yugi Mutou. I should have said sooner.
