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.]}

That's strange-

[But Kaneki doesn't have time to say much else before Wrath is hiding behind him, causing him to look over and down at the Trubbish. His Zangoose is still standing nearby her trainer's ankle, growling a bit at the walking trashbag as it approaches.]

I don't think it wants to hurt you or anything, though. Maybe it's still hungry?

..... Oh my god.

[Veronica had to turn away now, or risk a sudden and unusual burst of uproarious laughter escaping from her mouth. Her Geninja meanwhile, had found all of this to be very silly, so he was off to scale a lampost of his own and survey the area.

And now Veronica knelt down to... poke the little creature. Hey, sup.]

I don't know a lot about this sort of thing... but I'm pretty sure that he just wants to say hello to you.

[Thankfully, Al is somewhat fluent in Poke-ese (as much as a normal human can be at least), and the Trubbish doesn't seem to be angry about anything...]

...did you want to make friends with him?

_{[That cookie is GONE. RIP lava cookie. Wrath was starving, apparently. He crunches it down so fast that he nearly chokes on it.]

[Coughing, he nods. WORDS CANNOT CONTAIN HOW MUCH HE WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE TO CATCH IT.]}

Please!

_{[AND CHILDREN DON'T LIKE YOU >8(]}

I bet it doesn't wanna go with you anyway.

_{[... And then he realizes that he just spoke up in scathing defense of the bag of garbage he's been running from, and starts to edge away from it again.]}

Probably not, since I'd insist that it get hosed down before I let it in.

[Just gonna... watch Wrath. What even, child.]

How can it still be hungry?

It ate three whole oranges!!

_{[AND THAT'S TERRIBLE.]

[The Trubbish stops approaching at the growl, at least, and looks kind of hurt. :c Y U GROWL AT ME?]}

_{[GOODNESS, Veronica. Don't you know it's mean to laugh at children?]

[... No, you're totally justified actually, laugh all you want. Wrath is being legitimately ridiculous.]

[The Trubbish turns on the spot (its upper body going a little bit faster than its feet) and waves its free tentacle at Veronica. YES, HELLO!]

[Wrath just squints downward judgmentally.]}

Oh YEAH? Then why'd he LICK me?

_{[Al's more fluent than Wrath is, at least.]

[The Trubbish gurgles sadly and makes a jiggling motion that MIGHT be a nod, but it's hard to tell when it's coming from something that doesn't have a chin.]}

[Kaneki frowns, exchanging a silent look with Rikki before looking back down at the Trubbish.]

It's okay. She won't attack you any more.

[Al smiles and pats it gently before setting it down and standing up.] Let's see if we can catch up, then, okay? Just don't charge right at him this time, I think you scared him.

[Amit, poised to attack, lets out a nasty hiss at the Trubbish who probably has every damn right to be pissed off. Meanwhile-]

Wrath.

[Scar finally calls from the bench, waving his hand in a (hopefully) unintimidating 'come here' gesture. Back awaaayyy from the animated garbage bag.]

[ Geez, this kid's acting like he hasn't eaten anything in a week! Unfortunately, neither Yuki nor Airi have anything left on them... but give him a second as he taps the trubbish with a pokeball.

Good thing its still asleep... but it feels like a cheap win. ]

So... it ate your lunch and decided it wanted you for dessert.

Wrath, take a moment to consider the size of an orange. You're much bigger than that. It won't eat you. It's smaller than you are.

[THIS IS REALLY, REALLY HARD]

Do you need me to come get you?

[He doubts Wrath wants that, but it's obvious that there's no calming this poor kid down.]

Oh shit, Wrath!

Are you okay?!?!

[Shit shit shit, that was not what Jimmy had intended! Whoops.]

_{[The Trubbish had been tentatively reaching out one of its goopy tendrils to stroke Wrath's shoe, but the boy is already moving out of range, nose wrinkled.]

[Now they're just... kind of shuffling around each other haphazardly.]}

... Are you at least a little calmer now?

Edited 2015-02-18 23:32 (UTC)

_{[The Trubbish nods in a wobbly manner and begins to trundle in that direction!]}

_{[Wrath does a double-take on the spot at the sound of his own name before looking over in Scar's direction with wide eyes.]

[OH!]

[... It's... it's him. That guy.]

[That guy who's friends with the traitor.]

[... But it seems that it's HIS Pokemon that's keeping the trashbag at bay, so, reluctantly, he stumbles over. But stays out of grabbing range.]}

[Envy's just going to do his best to pry the Trubbish off of his head and push it away, still screaming in disgusted outrage.]

[Now he's just hoping it'll still be after Wrath and will let go on its own.]

Yeah!

It definitely was going to try and eat me.

_{[As the Pokeball taps the Trubbish... something strange happens. The ball gives an error beep. It would... seem that this Pokemon has already been captured by somebody!]}

_{[Look at you, with your LOGIC! You have no place here, in this vortex of hysteria and living garbage!]}

--It could still do it! It's STRETCHY!

_{[... Well, that much is true, anyway, but Archer's still right.]

[In any case, Wrath stops momentarily, his back to a telephone pole as he peers warily over his shoulder to see how close the Trubbish is. When he looks back down to the 'Gear, there's suspicion stamped all over his face. He might grudgingly respect Archer's authority as a higher-ranking figure in this team, but he sure as heck doesn't trust him.]}

Will I be in trouble for it if you do?

[...You know what, not entirely what he was aiming for, but okay.]

You alright, man?

[She doesn't mean to! It was just really funny and she was weak okay.

She watched the Trubbish wave its tentacle at her. It looked pretty darn silly doing so.

Seeing as how she'd come this far, she couldn't turn back and leave now.]

...I think he likes you. Animals do that sometimes. It's how they say that they like you, and stuff.

[she had a dog, she's gotten kisses before.]

_{[What follows is probably a few HEART-STOPPING MINUTES in which all that can be seen and heard is a lot of dark, rushing water.]

[But right when Jimmy has probably started considering whether or not his long-distance involvement in this incident is enough to sentence his soul to eternal damnation, the water falls away as Wrath and his PokeGear are hauled upwards, sopping, from the canal.]

[The camera's view tumbles as the kid flops back onto the safety of the bank, gasping and coughing.]}
