123. [Video/Action for Route 44]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[The camera comes on.]

[There is a very fluffy-looking Heather Mason, along with a small army of Fire-types (Cujo the Growlithe, along with Carousel the Rapidash and two enormous Houndooms) + one Pikachu.]

[She is wearing a pair of sunglasses.]

[So is one of the Houndooms.]

[She looks dead into the camera and speaks.]</sub>

I'm gonna melt Ice Path.

_{[And the feed ends.]}




[20 MINUTES LATER]

<sub>[... Or not.]

[The camera is on again, showing a very concerned electric rodent. Hazel the Pikachu gnaws on her lip slightly as she focuses the video, then turns it to show the so-called Ice Path melter a short distance down the snowy mountain path.]






[Apparently instincts are a thing.]</sub>

Heather.

[Usually he's wearing this face when Ed is doing something stupid. Congratulations, Heather, you got +1 family point!]

No.

[foolishwren]

_{[She looks at him over her sunglasses, the beginnings of a tiny-fanged smirk on her lips.]}

Al. Yes.

[armoredsoul]

You know it's just gonna freeze over again before you're even a quarter of the way through, right?

[foolishwren]

And then we'll melt it again.

It's foolproof.

_{[NO SHE KNOWS IT'S STUPID but Al is the baby, and must be messed with.]}

[armoredsoul]

And then you'll be wet and cold and get sick from it.

[Of course, that little grin on his face says plenty about how much he thinks Heather is joking about the whole deal.]

[foolishwren]

Psssh.

Fire Pokemon don't get colds.

_{[They get HOTS and run way warmer than normal! Which... is also not ideal, but. Y'know.]}

[armoredsoul]

[Al laughs and shakes his head.]

I don't think that's how it works, but if you say so. Has it really been that hard going getting through?

[foolishwren]

Ice Path's a bitch no matter what way you cut it.

Easier to just MELT it all.

Isn't that right, Cooj?

_{[The Growlithe lets out a deep WOOF.]}

[armoredsoul]

[Pffffft.]

Well, you keep me updated on how that goes, okay?
