[Video] Dark 9 (First Gym Victory and Farewell Pokemon Ranch!)

[brave_phantom]

[The feed begins with a grinning Ash, arms crossed in a pleased manner, with Murkrow, Lara the Furret, and Dandelion the Flaaffy beside him. They too, look pleased. The four are standing in the Pokecenter lobby, the Pokegear is sitting on a table.]

We did it!

[Ash takes a few powerful steps to the camera, where he leans down and flashes this in front

[redcinematics]

Congratulations, dear. You sound so much better now.

But before you go, is your offer to take my Spinarak still valid?

[action]

[redcinematics]

At the very least, excitable.

[NO, NO HE DOES NOT. But either way, Grell's freaked out by spiders in general so he's doing his job.]

Is that so? What a peculiar system...

But I do have a name, actually. I'd like to name Cubone Hamlet~

[And the Shakespeare references continue. But this one was so fitting.]

[action]

[brave_phantom]

Hamlet? I like it.

[Ash has never heard of the man, but he knew it was a common mae for the pig people in his world. HAM-let and all.]

As for Spinarak. I think I'd like the name "Oleander".

[action]

[redcinematics]

Wonderful~

So, are we set then? I wouldn't want to further stall your travel plans.

[action]

[brave_phantom]

Yeah. [Ash recalled his soon-to-be-not-his Cubone and placed it's Pokeball on the left side of the machine, in the indented tray.]

Just place the Pokeball like this and... Press the button there!

[The machine required both parties to press separate buttons together. A fail-safe so that stolen Pokemon could not have their OTID's transferred easily.]

[action]

[redcinematics]

[Recalling Spinarak, Grell places the Pokéball on the opposite side of the machine, readying the button.]

All set. Shall we?

[action]

[brave_phantom]

[Click!

At the press of the button, the machine hums and beeps. Ash was in awe of it, simply because the most advanced piece of tech in his world was a steam engine. As the two Pokeballs were engulfed in white light, they vanished, only to return to the same spot a few seconds later. Ash picks up the Pokeball on his side, and turns to open it. A little green bug came forth, confused as to what the hell just went down.]

[action]

[redcinematics]

[Grell's pretty much in the same boat when it comes to technology, so he looks thoroughly excited at the process too.

Once the trade is complete, he releases his new Pokémon as well and simply smirks at the mutual confusion.]

And that was all it took...

The wonders of technology in this world, I tell you!

[action]

[brave_phantom]

I know, I never had anything like this back home!

[Ash recalls his new Pokemon, then turns to Grell and offers a hand.]

Thanks Grell! I hope you enjoy Cubone! I look forward to see how he matures.

[action]

[redcinematics]

I am beginning to appreciate this world more and more every day.

[Grinning toothily, Grell returns the favor, giving Ash's hand a good shake.]

Likewise, my dear. Do have fun on your travels.
