4rth Position - Azalea Town - video and action

[usedquack]

[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?

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

[Er. She did use to be a duck, but... The more obvious answer has slipped his mind, for now.]

[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.

[ 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?
