best_laid_plans: (the good boys go to heaven)

Turn 004 // Video/Action

[Malik's learned a few things about being a proper Rocket in Johto. One, the region's inhabitants are well-intended souls - useful for leading them on. Two, he alone can't possibly execute the maneuvers necessary for his revenge.

Malik Ishtar, aspiring Pokémon "trainer", needs to make some friends. And he knows just the place he wants to do it.

Taking advantage of Yuugi and Bakura's journey, Malik spends his weekly Rocket allowance on a shiny red bicycle (plus a bit of last week's on a Moltres phoenix decal). He then gathers supplies and heads for Violet City, to witness the aftermath firsthand. The music changes when he rides the bike, which intrigues him (and gives rise to a theory) - but he doesn't have time to ponder metaphysics.

Travel, he finds, sounds much better on paper.

Malik pedals into Violet tired, cold, hungry, and disgruntled: he'd picked up a new Pokémon, but it doesn't seem interested in cooperating just yet. In fact, it's actually prancing ahead, so all Malik sees of it is



Nonetheless, he switches on his Gear and broadcasts.]


Ah, good morning, everybody. I have a favor to ask.

I've just come into Violet, to check up on things - late, I know, I'm sorry, I hope everyone's all right - but since I got teleported away from this area before, I don't know my way around. Could someone spare an afternoon, or an hour or two? I shouldn't need much.

Thanks. I'd be happy to help anyone out while I'm here in return!

Here's where I am.

[He pans the camera around his surroundings and lets it scan across his new Pokémon, too. Maybe someone knows what these can do; he's heard he'd had one on his last stay. So far, however, he's not impressed.]

["Help anyone out"? Sounds like a job opportunity. The lucky, impoverished assassin comes out to help.]

Not asking for much, are you? Hell if I'm complaining, showing a guy around town is an easy enough job. Easier than, say...

[Murdering, pilfering, smuggling, pickpocketing, etc.]

... well, easier than something harder. Nyeheh.

... Video. Wow, did I really forget to put that..?

[He was always a logician at heart. Raising a gloved finger, he wags it in front of the camera.]

That aside, that aside now... I think I would be willing to offer my services. And why not? I'll throw in a little music into the deal.

... if I can just find a flute in one of these stores.

[... wait, so that wasn't some exceptionally lively (and redundant) orchestra? He'll just shake this off. Gotta blend in. Gotta blend in.]

Bah. Forget it. Not my fault these towns don't appreciate any other song besides-

[And he tries singing Goldenrod's theme with a series of "lalala's" in his hoarse voice. Please don't try imagining this.]

... ahem. So, then. Services.

kingofgamecorner: ([calm] be safe)

[video] not that exact location is set!

[personal profile] kingofgamecorner 2012-03-21 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
-wait, you're in Violet right now?

We were just over back there!

[How could he have missed him on the path... did he take the other path? Or is it something else?

Curious, innocent housemates looking surprised.]

[How sweet. And since he's being so nice, how can he not at least mirror the friendly.]

Wow- That's a pretty good buy, if you're planning to explore Johto. I've read the 'Fly' move only gets you to places you've been, after all...

But, we haven't been that far! We just circled around to south of Violet, and are now on our way back... But I did get to add a few to the team.

[Of course, that gas-ball of a ghost eying and sticking its tongue out at Malik must be one of Bakura's. Surely.]

*here's a trainer accompanied by an Absol, as well as a bickering Flaaffy and Servine duo trailing behind, pausing when he spots that Vulpix*

Ah, I don't think I've seen that one yet.
dreamsofahero: (just talking)

Re: Action

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2012-03-21 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
*"Sol" the Absol returns the friendly greeting, while her trainer crouches and reaches out a hand to pet the Vulpix*

Oh? And I suppose he just started following you?

*meanwhile, the Flaaffy and Servine continue to posture and bicker at each other, but Sion pays them no mind*

There is not much to see or do besides visit the Gym and Sprout Tower - which is fairly creepy if i do say so myself.

I know an acquaintance of mine was completely trounced when she challenged the gym the first time she arrived in Violet, though... other than that, I can't say much about it.
