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 is absolutely what it is. Aren't you glad you decided to take a walk today, Kaneki?]

[Wrath's eyes widen as the red-and-white feline leaps into his path-- he actually has to jump, flinging his legs out like he's in a game of leapfrog, to allow the Pokemon to duck under him. He's too short not to get bowled over otherwise. FORTUNATELY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED, he's a pretty good jumper!]

[The Trubbish, not so much.]

[The scratch attack hits home, opening a neat slice in the 'plastic' that made up the garbage Pokemon's plump, rotund body. Immediately a large pile of apple cores, banana peels, and dirty chip-bags come spilling out onto the sidewalk, and the Trubbish stops with a startled, almost embarrassed look. It starts to hastily scoop up its.... are they innards? Does it actually have guts?... back into itself, wobbling unhappily. 8( WHY DID YOU DO THAT, MISS ZANGOOSE!]}

[...OH GOD MISTAKES WERE MADE. The moment that happens, Rikki recoils with her nose wrinkling, quickly digging in her heels so she can stop her momentum before she can get any closer to the Trubbish with it just dropping trash everywhere like that. She ends up overshooting the Pokemon by a couple feet anyway, her claws scraping the sidewalk as she stops herself. It seems that the attack was enough to stop the Trubbish in it's tracks, which is what she was aiming for anyway.

With Rikki keeping the trash bag distracted- while at the same time trying not to think too hard about what he just saw- Kaneki turns to Wrath, wherever he ended up.]

Hey! Are you alright?

_{[Wrath ended up perched on a fire hydrant like a miniature gargoyle, watching the scene unfold between the Pokemon in mingled apprehension and fascination. MOST THINGS DIED WHEN THEIR GUTS FELL OUT. But the Trubbish was just refilling itself like a bunch of books had spilled out of its backpack or something.]

[He looks up when Kaneki speaks to him, and nods. Because he is, MORE OR LESS.]}

Sorry I jumped over your Pokemon.

_{[Kind of a weird thing to apologize for, but Wrath has noticed people get offended over all KINDS of weird things in this place, so BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.]}

[The apology takes him by surprise long enough to provide a bit of an awkward pause before Kaneki shakes his head a little.]

It's alright.

[He looks down as Rikki trots back over to his side and sits up on her haunches to check and make sure none of the trash got stuck to her claws.]

...why was that Pokemon chasing you?

_{[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!

Edited 2015-02-07 20:55 (UTC)

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.

_{[The Trubbish seems to have finished gathering itself back up, and it pinches its plastic skin shut over the 'wound', sealing it up. It doesn't particularly look any worse for the wear.]}

... Well... no, but he grabbed my face and I couldn't breathe!

He...grabbed your face?

[...]

What were you doing when he grabbed you?

Nothing!

_{[No, Wrath, you were trying to pull your bagged lunch back out of its mouth, where it had gotten sucked in one big GLORPlike motion.]

[That's justified, but it's still not nothing.]

[But any further explanation ceases as the Trubbish starts to waddle towards Wrath (who ducks behind Kaneki) again.]}

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?

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?]}

[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.
