003. [Video/Action for Goldenrod, midday]

_{[The camera bouncing around like a bad found-footage movie seems to be like... A THING with this kid's posts, and this upload is no exception.]

[This time, Wrath has the 'Gear pointed at his face but held out in front of him at arm's length, showing the street winding away behind him as he runs. He's panting raggedly and he keeps looking over his shoulder, at... what seems to be a portly Trubbish, which is flopping its goopy arms and waddling VERY QUICKLY after him, eyes bugging out slightly with the effort it takes to keep up with Wrath.]

[Wrath does not look happy about his tagalong.]

[When his next glance backwards shows that the Pokemon is still following him, he yelps and puts on an extra burst of speed.]}

Ah!

Aah!

Leave me alone!

_{[No explanation or lead-in is offered for WHY this small child is running away from a mobile bag of garbage, but the fact that his hair is full of candy wrappers and unidentified bits of trash might have something to do with it.]}

[Good grief kid, you're going to burn Veronica's nose off!

She waves at the air, holding back a gag.]

It'll... get me?

[Yup. That Trubbish sure did look... threatening.

Baburu wasn't sure what to do with this information, so.

Uh.

Fighting stance?]

[ Good going, Airi. Your song worked well -- maybe a little too well. There's a pause as he considers the awakening in the small pack he usually carries around with him but how would he even? It's easy with pokemon -- all you need to do is spray. Humans though...

So along comes plan B in the form of a lava cookie which he breaks in half. Said half is handed to Airi who holds it near Wrath's nose. Half should be enough to rouse him, maybe? He can get the other half when he's conscious. ]

Well, it ate my lunch and then it wouldn't stop chasing me.

What do I DO with it?

_{[Wrath flicks his hands distractedly, trying to dislodge what looks like a piece of candy-corn stuck to his wrist.]}

I don't know!

He ate my lunch and then he wouldn't leave me alone!

_{[If Wrath knew enough profanity to swear, he'd be doing it copiously. Because guess who ran straight past the closest Pokemon Center like six blocks ago?]

[As such, he just makes an aggravated "GRRAAAAAAH!" noise and swerves to dart across the street (getting a loud honk from a passing Jenny-Van and a few startled whinnies from the Ponyta-drawn taxicabs in the process, THE WALKING SIGNAL WAS NOT FLASHING YET) and start running in the opposite direction.]}

What are THEY gonna do about it?! Feed it MORE?

I had THREE ORANGES and it ate ALL of them!

_{[This is good advice! Unfortunately, there's... not a whole lot you CAN climb on a crowded sidewalk.]

[Except, of course, for other people.]

[There is an alarmed holler as Wrath, not unlike a freaking monkey, promptly scales a tall well-dressed Ace Trainer who'd been having a Very Important 'Gear Discussion (tm) with his girlfriend, and had not been expecting to be climbed like a jungle gym by what looks like it could be a rejected goth Troll doll.]

[The holler turns into an unmanly shriek when the Trubbish promptly starts to climb him too.]}

Catch it? Even if you don't want it, I'm sure someone will take it off your hands.

[Not him. He's. He's okay without having a living garbage bag.]

[Please try not to die, Wrath. Greed probably wouldn't be very happy.]

I don't know what they'll do, but they're the ones with the most experience dealing with Pokémon. They should be able to handle it.

_{[Sticky thing can't climb EVERYTHING, but brick? No problem.]

[The screen jostles again as Wrath flings himself onto the roof with a scrape of fabric on rough stone, and then rolls over onto his back to yank off one of his far-too-big shoes.]

[Which he then hurls over the edge of the building at the Trubbish.]}

UMPH!

_{[It hits the thing in the 'shoulder' with a squelch... and stays there.]

[.... D:]}

... Now it has my shoe!

Jesus!

[It really is like something out of a monster movie.]

Okay, bad plan, bad plan! Uh... oh! What about a river? Is there a river anywhere close by? I bet it can't cross water!

[Okay, so that was for vampires, but he figures anything made of sticky goop probably couldn't go in water without dissolving. Ignoring the fact that there aren't very many handy rivers in big cities, but Jimmy's trying...]

[This is the worst. THE WORST.

[There's a lot of muffled angry shouting coming from Envy as he tries to pry the living garbage bag off of his face. It mostly sounds like death threats.]

[But he does roll off of Wrath to get away from the kicking!]

[Yeah, he's going ass-over-teakettle again. And now he smells like dumpster THAT'S JUST GREAT.]

[But if Wrath is running from this thing...welp. Al wraps his arms around the more bag-like portion of the Trubbish and struggles to get to his feet without losing hold of the Pokemon.]

Wrath! WRATH! It's okay, I got it!

I tried that already!

It just stuck to my hand!

And licked me!

_{[Wrath is not normally bothered by gross things, but most of the time they aren't trying to fit his hole fist into their mouths.]}

_{[Most Pokemon, wild OR domesticated, would take a fighting stance as a sign that a battle is about to begin.]

[Not the Trubbish.]

[It blinks, curiously and a little off-kilter, at the Greninja's pose, and then makes a sort of shruglike motion and turns back to the lamp-post, slapping its arms futilely against it in an attempt to climb.]}

_{[Yeah, and just look at what BERRIES do to humans. Who knows what manufactured Poke-medicine would end up doing.]

[Still, the lava cookie seems to do the trick-- Wrath scrunches his nose, then starts to stir.]}

--... wh... what happened?

Catch it??

But T--

--I-I don't WANT it!

NOBODY would want it!

_{[... Which is... which is kind of SAD, actually, but that's neither here nor there.]}

I'm sure someone will want it. Just ask around.

... Not... not me, though. Definitely not me...

Hmm...little guy must have been hungry, then.

[Kaneki looks back over at the Trubbish, lifting his hand thoughtfully to his chin.]

He hasn't tried to hurt you or anything, right? Maybe he was just hoping you had more to give.

_{[He's TRYING, but will he be successful? THAT IS THE QUESTION.]}

They won't wanna handle it!

It's covered in GERMS! Germs are bad!

_{[Wrath, YOU'RE covered in germs. You practically ARE a germ.]}

_{[IT CAME FROM THE GOLDENROD MUNICIPAL DUMP.]}

A-- a river?! I know where there's a river!

_{[He scrambles upright again-- now with only ONE shoe-- and starts to run across the roof towards where he knows there's a fire escape. If nothing else, he seems to have a fairly good mental map of the city. You have to when you spend so much time practicing your pickpocketing!]

[The fire escape rattles and clatters as he monkeys his way down it, then takes off running down the alley.]

[The Trubbish definitely isn't as FAST as he is, but it sure is relentless!]}

Ring a ding ding!

[Considering the kid can scale buildings, Jimmy's pretty sure he can get across a river.]

I'll bet ya dollars to donuts you'll lose that creep at the river!

_{[It definitely SOUNDS like death threats, but it's kind of hard to TELL, given that he's screaming them directly into a squishy something-like-plastic bag of moist, goopy garbage.]

[Wrath, though?]

[For Wrath, this couldn't be a BETTER turn of events.]

[With his pursuer successfully foisted off on his ex-teammate, he's home free!]

[Scrambling to his feet and swiping a hand across his chin, where being slammed into the sidewalk had opened a small scrape, Wrath makes like a tree and RUNS.]}

[Why do you think Archer isn't going to get directly involved in all this? Too many germs all around.]

You'll be fine. I'm sure once you get to the Center they can help.

[And hopefully they'll give you a bath too!!!]

_{[... Al. AL. Don't do this to yourself. IT'S NOT WORTH IT.]

[The Trubbish doesn't do anything particularly violent or concern-worthy (... at first)-- but it does make a repulsive squelching noise when Al wraps his arms around it. And the smell isn't much better.]

[Wrath doesn't bother to thank the older boy.]

[The second he notes that his pursuer is restrained, he gets up and RUNS.]}

Edited 2015-02-08 01:29 (UTC)

If anybody wanted it, it wouldn't have followed me.

_{[He straightens up, giving Royce a squint, then shakes his head.]}

See? You don't want it EITHER!
