004-✰ // video // route 32
[The video feed starts of with showing two young men walking on the route towards Union Cave. They seem to be talking rather cheerfully, not even noticing someone’s filming them.
Suddenly one of them stops to look at something. There’s a Pokémon. The camera is kind enough to show the audience that it’s an Ekans.]
[The camera shows Shiraishi next, grinning and taking out a ball.] I’ve been wanting to catch one of those for a while now... this won’t take long.
It’s a snake. Of course you want it. [The blonder of the two takes a few steps back as if to make space for the impending battle. Probably smart, really.]
[After Kenya moves, Shiraishi does too, by throwing the Pokeball.] Go, Kenya!
[
there is a beat of silence before--]
What the hell, Shiraishi?!
[Shiraishi had thought using Staryu would be a good idea since it had been a while... but he had completely forgotten about what might happen.
So he turns to look at Kenya with a rather sheepish grin.]
It’s the speed Staryu of Naniwa...?
You didn’t need to name it after me!
But you came to my mind the minute after he was born... so I decided to go with it.
It doesn’t even have a face...
...is he fast?
He is. Really fast. Look I can demostrate. Kenya use-
[Meanwhile the Ekans has left. Staryu is just standing there on his own, waiting. Shiraishi twitches a little.]
... thanks, Kenya.
Whoops.
If you hadn’t talked, I’d have an Ekans right now.
Well if you hadn’t named a starfish after me, I wouldn’tve had to!
It shouldn’t be such a big thing! Many people here name their Pokémon after their friends or family.
That still doesn’t-- [Finally, he notices the camera, and who is filming.] Melos!!
Gro- [And the feed cuts.]
[ooc: green is shiraishi, black is kenya, both will be replying! o/]
