114. Fourth Wall Post [VIDEO/ACTION FOR ANYWHERE]

[foolishwren]

.... Yeah.

Yeah, you're in the complete wrong region.

Mount Moon's in Kanto.

_{[Heather huffs out a sigh and takes hold of Cujo's mane as the wayward Grey and his weird spacedog head back to their spaceship, which had landed conveniently on top of one of the Pokemon Centers, barely even remarkable in the middle of all the other chaos that's happening.]}

Man, at this point, the only thing that could surprise me on weekends like this are things staying normal.

_{[Henry bounds across the hole on the floor and clings to Heather's foot, his fur standing on end and his leaves rustling like a forest in a hurricane.]}

Everything is terrible.

[foolishwren]

Wh-- hey, don't cling to me.

I don't wanna fall through a hole!

_{[Sorry Henry she's willing to do a lot for you but getting sucked into a bunch of portable holes isn't one of them.]}

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[He lets go and starts pacing. She was right. He had to get away! He had to keep running or the holes would just get bigger and bigger. He looks across the hole still trying to eat the bed]}

Get Sunny. We've got to go out the window.

[foolishwren]

Okay. Okay, FINE.

Give me a second. And let go of me.

_{[SHE CAN'T GRAB HER STUFF WITH A LEAFEON ATTACHED TO HER.]}

[no_ufo_ending]

No.

_{[The pokemon doesn't budge. Heather is just going to have to deal with a stupid furry boot for the next five minutes.]}

[foolishwren]

... UGH.

_{[With that she proceeds to tromp around grabbing basic supplies (and avoiding the hole that is attempting to eat the bed). If they're going to be staying away from the hotel room for three days-- and possibly warping all over kingdom come-- she wants to at least have some granola bars on hand.]}

For crying out loud...

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[As an after thought, he digs his claws in. The closer they get to the hole, the more his ears and tail sort of tug in its direction. It's pulling Henry. He is the receiver.]}

I just...hope that Bidoof doesn't show up.

[foolishwren]

<sub>[She is not going to comment on his blunt little Leafeon claws gouging into her leg. >8I SHE IS NOT.]

[Once she has her pack in order, she throws the door open and storms right out. Doesn't bother locking it. You'd think these weekends would be rife with looting but everybody is probably too busy avoiding being run down by the Magic Schoolbus or something to think about stealing shit.]</sub>

Bidoof?

Th'hell are you talking about?

[no_ufo_ending]

When Envy and I were lost in the woods...things were glitched. There were these terrible pokemon that had parts made of floating, flashing squares...

And there was a Bidoof with an upside down face.

Heather, it was PokeSatan.

[foolishwren]

... Oh.

_{[Oh, okay, that DID sound freaking creepy.]}

... Well, there's no guarantees, you know.

We could literally run into Nicolas Cage stealing the Declaration of Independence around the corner.

That's how these things work.

[no_ufo_ending]

I would HELP Nicolas Cage steal the Declaration of Independence if it meant that Bidoof wouldn't show up!

_{[He starts to climb Heather.]}

[foolishwren]

Well, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't help, but if we run into ol' St. Nic, you have my blessing to serve your country.

_{[It's hard to walk while a foxplantcat is LITERALLY CRAWLING UP HER LEG, so she reaches down and snatches him up, tucking him under one arm instead.]}

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry's little claws come away with a popping sound and he hangs limp in the crook of her arm like a sad football.]}

I wish I could hide in a pokeball until this is all over.

[foolishwren]

_{[... Heather stops. Because that gives her an idea.]}

... Well... you are a Pokemon...

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The Leafeon's ears cock sideways as he halfway regrets opening his mouth.]}

We need to get going before that hole gets bigger.

[foolishwren]

_{[She starts walking again, continuing down the stairs (she's not sure she trusts the elevator on a day like this), but keeps talking.]}

Well, think about it.

It wouldn't hurt to try.

And you might be safer in there.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry looks at his options. Then he looks at his current run of luck.]}

Let's...do it before I can talk myself out of it.

[foolishwren]

_{[They've reached the bottom floor, so she stops and puts Henry down on the floor, pulling an empty Pokeball out of her pocket.]}

... Okay.

Gonna chuck it at you. Just don't... uh, struggle. _{[Full health shouldn't matter if the Pokemon was a willing capture, right?]}

You ready?

[no_ufo_ending]

As I'll ever be.

_{[He crouches and covers his eyes with his ears.]}

[foolishwren]

Okay.

_{[She holds up the ball unsurely... and then sort of gently tosses it at Henry's fern-covered head.]}

[no_ufo_ending]

--Aah!

_{[In a flash of orange light, Henry disappears. The ball rocks once, twice, then the little button dims with a click.]}

LEAFEON WAS CAPTURED.
GIVE LEAFEON A NICKNAME
[YES] [NO]

[1/3]

[foolishwren]

_{[Mentally thanking fate that it had actually captured him and not just given him a great big lump on his head, Heather reaches down to pick up the ball.]}

... Hm?

_{[What's this?]}

[2/3]

[foolishwren]

... Oh.

_{[She has been given a great and terrible power.]}

[3/3]

[foolishwren]

_{[.............]}










[YES]
