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 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. ]

_{[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?

[ Have a sigh of relief for that... and the rest of the cookie offered to you along with an explanation. ]

My Chansey went a little overboard when she saw you being chased by that trubbish... so she thought about taking matters into her own hands. Sorry about that.

[ Said Chansey is watching the trubbish in question though, ready to attack if it wakes up and tries again. ]

Is that yours, by the way?

_{[Wrath shakes his head vehemently.]}

N-no!

He ate my lunch, and then he started chasing me!

_{[That's when he notices the cookie being handed to him... and snatches it like he hasn't eaten all day. Which probably has something to do with his lunch getting eaten by a living trash bag.]}

[ There's a look of disbelief from Airi to the trubbish. Well that explains every--

Wow, this kid's hungry. Ah well. At least he didn't try to eat your fingers too, Yuki. ]

So... it'd probably be okay if Airi and I tried to catch it just to take it off your hands?

_{[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!

[ 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.

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!]}

I don't think there's ever been a case of a pokemon eating a human...

[ There's a frown as he withdraws the pokeball. ]

Well that's weird...

[ Give him a second to put that ball away and turn his attention back to Wrath. ]

Wherever this pokemon came from... its trainer was probably not too far away. Looks like he's owned.

Owned?

_{[Who would want to own something so rude and smelly? ... Not that Wrath really has much of a leg to stand on, considering he's no fragrant rose himself even under the best of circumstances, and he DID catch the Rattata commonly known around the Rocket HQ as 'Stinky Phil'.]}

Yeah.

[ He'll take a moment to look at the pokeball, the pokemon and back to the boy before pocketing that pokeball. ]

Doesn't look like I can catch it. The best option we have might be to bring it back to wherever you found it.

It found ME.

I was in the dump.

_{[... Wrath what were you doing in the dump]}

[ Have a sudden look of confusion. ]

What... were you doing having lunch in the dump?

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.]}

[ 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.

_{[ARE YOU CALLIN HIM A LIAR]}

Oh.

Okay.

Well, it was in the dump.

Where all the trashes are.

[ 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?

My name?

It's Wrath.

What's yours?

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.]}

[ Yeah, that's closer. ]

We... should probably get going... but...

[ His Houndoom woofs impatiently at him though because you're not the one carrying garbage here, trainer. ]

Are you okay though, Wrath? Nothing hurts?

Just my knees, 'cuz I fell on them trying to run away from the trash.

[ His houndoom's all but ready to walk away from him by now. But Yukio crouches down, just to get a better look. ]

Let me see.
