4rth Position - Azalea Town - video and action

[ACTION: Duck emerges from Ilex Forest, muddy, dishevelled, and dog-tired, leaning on a stick. It's shortly after sundown, and after 10 days in Ilex Forest, all of her pokemon are pretty much exhausted. Even Albrecht is hanging from a branch of Duck's walking stick rather than flapping around excitedly as zubats normally do. And he's the most energetic of the bunch right now.]

Look, Al, we've made it to the clearing! Isn't that nice? [Duck's words might sound cheerful and upbeat but her delivery is deadpan; she doesn't have the energy for anything else. And it's only now that she musters the willpower to look up.] Oh. We made it.

[From the blank look on her face, it hasn't sunk in yet. She takes off her pack and sits down on the side of the road, her zubat settling down on top of her head as she looks back at the entrance to the forest.] Better wait for Ty Lee.

[VIDEO: From what you can see of the background, Duck seems to sitting in front of Kurt's house. She's still dishevelled, to the point where there are twigs and leaves sticking out of her hair, and a smear of mud on her cheek.]

I finally made it to Azalea Town. We got lost, but we finally made it. And just in time, too. I ran out of birdseed just yesterday.

The wild pokemon in Ilex Forest are really tough!

[ Hello there, Duck. Stellar has very limited understanding of the world. In fact, she may act like a three year old.

Duck looks like she's been in a fight and from what she understands, you are supposed to fight enemies. ]


Ilex Forest ... has bad Pokemon?

If they are not bad ... they are not the enemy?

... why do you fight them?

[personal profile] stellar_loussier 2012-07-25 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You cannot ... destroy? They are scared ... so they are not bad?

[ Sorry for the three-year-old understanding. ]

... Stellar understands.

What do you do? Doesn't fighting ... hurt?
stellar_loussier: (Default)

[personal profile] stellar_loussier 2012-07-26 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Unconscious? [ Not to kill. Not to destroy enemy. These were all much too new concepts to Stellar.

But this girl ... is very funny. ]


Thank you. Stellar learn a lot. What is your name?

Duck? [ Giggling. ] Duck has strange name ...

Thank you. [ Though she doesn't know who gave it to her. It was the name given to her by the doctors at the scary laboratory where they were born. ]

Stellar likes her name too.

...You're eating birdseed...?

[Er. She did use to be a duck, but... The more obvious answer has slipped his mind, for now.]
newberktown: (and i made a dork of myself again)

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-07-25 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's okay. Hiccup's too sick to be tactful or smart.]

Oh... Yeah, that makes more sense. I guess you have a lot of flying types?
newberktown: (are you okay back there)

[audio]

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-07-25 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Coincidence, or...?

[Once upon a time, Hiccup had dreams of a dragon-only team. Things happened.]

How long were you in there, anyway?
newberktown: (what even...)

[audio]

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-07-25 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Might be harder to fight some of the gyms, too... Though not the three that I've challenged or the one in Cianwood.

[...Wow, Duck. It's like you have the luck of, well, him.]

O-kay, yeah that's...a bit of a detour.
newberktown: (uhh)

[audio]

[personal profile] newberktown 2012-07-28 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It depends on your pokemon, but all in all I haven't had too much trouble with the three I challenged.

[Whoa, what happened to this girl? Are the pokemon here really that tough? At least it looks like she's in civilization right now, but still...]

Hey, are you alright? I mean, it sounds like you've had a pretty rough time.
princelyspirit: ([q] looking at the sky for answers)

[personal profile] princelyspirit 2012-07-26 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hmn... have you tried calling her up? I mean, these Gears work a lot like cell phones, right?
princelyspirit: ([smile] sitting pretty)

Video

[personal profile] princelyspirit 2012-07-26 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's something we use back home to talk to people, and - nevermind, it's not important.

[Not really sure how to explain cell phones to someone who doesn't know what they are. Besides, if her friend has her gear, she's probably seen the post all ready, right? Right]

But, she has her Pokemon on her, right? I hear that these little guys are pretty tough, even if they don't always look like it. I'm sure she'll be fine.
princelyspirit: (hrm)

Video

[personal profile] princelyspirit 2012-08-05 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...it's normal to be on the road for a few days, right? How long has she been in there?

[Thinking, thinking... this could be worse than she thought. However, she didn't want to make Duck more worried than she was, either]

Really? That's great - I gotta admit, I was getting a little worried there myself. But, I'm sure you'd rather go meet up with her than sit around with a Gear all day. Maybe I'll see you around later.

[ Ty Lee is letting her cleffa hang onto her loose hair as she finally stumbles through the forest in a rare show of gracelessness. ]

Whew, we finally got out of that bush, Fen. We totally should have taken the trees instead... I hope these don't make a bunch of scars. Ugh...

[ She rests one hand on her knee as her other reaches up to pat the only pokémon she has out now. There are little scrapes on her calves below the line of her skirt - and some on the skirt itself. Looking up, though, she does have a smile for Duck. ]

—Oh, wow! Is that a new town?
