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.]}

_{[In all fairness, it's not exactly hard to be bigger than Wrath. He's pretty small even by little kid standards.]}

Be careful not to get eaten.

_{[Wrath wasn't exactly expecting it either, but judging by the earnest, matter-of-fact way he's holding the damn thing's 'hand' and looking up at Archer as he explains, he's just kind of... embracing it.]}

I fell in some water and he pulled me out again, so we're friends now.

His name is Hungry, since he's very hungry.

I'm gonna feed him more oranges.

_{[And then, as though suddenly remembering that he is SOAKING WET, in frigid February weather, and also missing a shoe, he shudders.]}

Um, can we go back to the base? I lost a shoe.

I was lookin' for stuff!

And Mama packed lunch for me.

_{[And by that he means his Kangaskhan had very lovingly placed three oranges in a bag and handed it to him before he left that morning.]}

Wait, it seriously tried to eat you?

[...That's kind of touching in some really strange way.]

Yes, of course. Does your... friend need to be healed?

[And did you catch him in a Pokéball?]

[ There's a frown though as he considers this. Lost kid chased by a pokemon who apparently had lunch in the dumpster? It all seems a little too unbelievable for him. ]

It's probably best if we take this trubbish back where you bumped into it. His trainer might still be around.

Uh... Right.

[Right. Okay. She had to show this kid that it was safe to come down. And that would require dealing with this other little guy.

So... huh.

She's just going to.

Push the Trubbish over now.]

It licked me, so it obviously wanted to.

_{[Better than Lassie: a boy and his bag of trash.]}

Um... I don't think so.

Every time I hit him he just kind of... wobbles.

_{[ARE YOU CALLIN HIM A LIAR]}

Oh.

Okay.

Well, it was in the dump.

Where all the trashes are.

_{[AND OVER IT GOES.]

[It just... flops onto its side with a squelch.]

[And lies there.]}

...Oh.

Oh, yo, I think that just means it wants to be your friend! Like, sometimes really friendly animals just lick your hand or face because they're weird like that! Dogs do it all the time!

[Are all homunculi this melodramatic?]

I'll get you a new one.

[This is about as comforting as Scar can get. Amit is sauntering back, by now, and Scar stand from the bench.]

[...This is so gross...]

I... see. Very well, let's get you back to the base.

[And with that, Archer turns and starts walking. The Alakazam follows, though she's making sure to keep an eye on them since Archer obviously isn't.]

_{[oh YOU'RE ONE TO TALK, Sir What McFolly yes. Yes, they are.]}

A new lunch?

_{[... Then he pauses.]}

... Wait a minute.

You're friends with the traitor.

How do I know you're not trying to trick me?

Really?

_{[It's true, Pokemon have licked him before and been friendly... but usually he'd been able to feed them something, too. So he COULDN'T BE SURE that they hadn't been hungry and he'd just been lucky enough to have the means to sate their hunger!!]}

Are you sure?

[ NAW MAN IT'S JUST KINDA WEIRD! ]

Right...

[ He's gonna glance at the trubbish a second. Yeah, he and Airi will take care of that soon enough. ]

Uh... what's your name, by the way?

Yeah, man, I'm pretty friggin' sure. Seriously, maybe you should go and check it out again? And you can always make another quick escape if I'm wrong.

Okay. C'mon, Hungry.

_{[Tugging the Trubbish along, Wrath goes ahead and squelches after Archer and his Alakazam.]

[He has had quite enough adventure for one day.]}

My name?

It's Wrath.

What's yours?

[....

VERONICA has won the battle! VERONICA gained 16 experience points!]

...Uhh, you can come down now! It's okay.

It's Okumura. Yukio Okumura. Nice to meet you, Wrath.

[ Wrath... well, he's met a dude named Greed... ah well. Somehow, there's a small smile there and a sigh as he gets up. ]

If you'd like, we can take the Trubbish back before he wakes up. There's no telling if it'll try to go after you again.

Ok-- Okumoo yooki-- Okoomoo.

_{[He is probably going to call you Koomoo from now on because THAT IS JUST WAY TOO MANY SYLLABLES FOR HIM. All the names where he's from are shorter!]}

Okay. Let's take it back. I never wanna see it again. Ever, in my life.

[ ...oh dear. But he doesn't look offended at the least. ]

Yukio's fine. I know my last name can be a mouthful for someone who doesn't speak Japanese.

[ But how to transport that Trubbish. He'd rather not pick it up because that might wake him and he's in no position to battle a trubbish with his bare hands...

so he'll just pull out a pokeball and toss it out, revealing a Houndoom. ]

Shiva, do you mind giving us a hand? We need to get this trubbish back to the dump. I'd like to get him on your back.

[ Said houndoom is just going to stare at his trainer for a second as if to go "are you serious?" before heading over and attempting to nudge the trubbish onto his back as instructed. ]

Yookyo.

_{[Aand that's the closest Wrath is probably gonna get.]

[He tilts his head and watches in fascination as the devil-dog scoops up the slumbering Trubbish.]}
