ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Ecruteak

<I know but it's wrong!>

He takes out a pokeball and places it in front of Valorie.

<Tell her to return me.>

Ecruteak

-Joseph turns to Valorie, holds up a finger to signify "one moment", and says:-

Return you? Where?

Nanako tilts her head, but follows the Nidoran. Biko follows, concerned.

Ecruteak City

Diane: See, Crewe agrees with me. And I agree with Crewe.

Skye: ...That doesn't change the fact that there likely isn't such a thing anyway. >_>

Diane: Then we should start a letter campaign!

Dashedreams Flats

   Noir   :    What's the point of being the manifestation of someones inner chaos, negativity and malicious thoughts if I am to be reformed and good?

"Hi EDI." said Duke, nodding to the Porygon, then looking at Herbert "By the way, it's late but..."

Duke then takes his hand off his pocket and shows Herbert a Crobatman action figure

"I felt bad for not giving you anything, so I got this. It's apparently rather popular with collectors and you seem to enjoy this stuff." he explained, smiling.

Ecruteak

<Into the ball. I'm goin' with her.>

Valorie accepted the pokeball. This was something she did not need translated. She primed the ball and offered to capture Sparkers on the spot by holding the primed and ready pokeball out to him.

Ecruteak

-Joseph shakes his head-

What? Where? What are you doing?

Ecruteak

<She offered to take me in. I know I promised to protect you but now I'm unfit to do so.>

He gives a nod to Valorie.

Ecruteak

SPARKERS! You don't have to do this!

Ecruteak

Yes! Who do we mail?

Houskay, Basement

-Because no one explicitly told them to leave, Dune and Deziree are here. Eating pizza. Deziree is checking out her new coat from Ren, while Dune attempts to sort through his various jackets.-

Dune: I swear I'm never going to have to spend a cent on my wardrobe ever again. Which is good, because getting you your clothing was expensive.

-Deziree just sticks her tongue out at him before taking another bite of pizza.-

Ecruteak

-A certain Sigilyph looks skyward to see what appears to be a Braviary high above the city. Before Garuda can ascertain his intentions, the great bird turns and flies off in the direction of Mt. Mortar.-

Garuda: <Hm. Curious.>

Goodnight.

-Herbert's face breaks into a wide, almost disbelieving grin upon seeing the Crobatman action figure.-

Herbert: Wait, is that... oh man, it is! That's a limited edition Crobatman figure based off of the animated series!

EDI: <Market analysis reveals that this particular figure often sells for prices as high as 50000 Pokedollars amongst collectors. A valuable commodity, should you plan on selling it.>

Herbert: And why in the world would I want to do that? This is an awesome action figure! Thanks, Duke!

-He takes the action figure and happily drops it into his bag.-

<Then what do you suggest I do?>

Valorie would press the ball to Sparkers, ideally capturing him unless he had a sudden change of heart. She turned and placed her hands on her hips, looking up at Joseph with the ball in one hand.

She seemed to have an expectant look on her face that demanded an explanation. She wasn't thrilled with Joe's 'tone of voice'.

...And the Pidgeotto is promptly WRECKED by a Stone Edge to the face, as Biko covers Telte and Nanako's escape.

<Be safe, you two!>

Ecruteak

Keep doing what you were doing! Break up with her if you need to, but don't do this because you think your integrity was compromised, because it wasn't!

-he thinks of an example-

You know how Crobatman got together with Lady Liepard? Everyone still loves him, and you're even better than him because you're a fuzzy wuzzy Arcanine doggy woggy and...

-he turns to Valorie-

Give me a moment, OK?

Duke chuckles a bit at Herbert's reaction, being pleasantly surprised by it "It's nothing really. It was just something that came into mind when you gave me those comics. It wasn't even that hard to get" he said, smiling.

-Herbert continues to grin.-

Herbert: Still, it's really cool! And it's fully posable and has a bunch of little mini batarangs and if you'll excuse me for one moment I think I'm having a bit of a fanboy moment.

EDI: <I agree with Duke. An emotional response of this scale seems rather disproportionate.>

Ecruteak

<…Joe, just give me some time to think…>

He presses up against the ball and is returned.

Ecruteak

-Joseph sighs-

OK...

-he turns to Valorie-

Sorry about that.

-he walks towards the Center-

Well, hopefully he'll be OK...

-he walks into the Center-

Hi, Herbert. How are you?

Ecruteak City

Diane: I... have absolutely no idea! But we can find out easily!

"I can see that." said Duke, snickering a bit "I'm glad you like it, you deserved something nice and I had no idea of what to get, even then when I got this figure I wasn't sure if it was good enough for you or not."
