[09] [Action/Video for Goldenrod]
((In Person - Goldenrod Department Store))
[Now that some of his team is too big to come in, it's possibly the most peaceful time Heiji's had in a store; the kleptomaniac squirrel is safely in his Pokéball, Baskerville is keeping an eye on Basan the Aerodactyl outside, and Heiji is poking around the store with a Gible in his arms, his Jynx following behind him and getting occasionally distracted while Sojobo the Murkrow flutters occasionally between his shoulder and various other interesting perches.]
[Aaand at one point, while his attention's diverted by a rack of books, the Murkrow siiiidles off a bit further...]
[And is now on a display case of evolution stones, tilting his head occasionally. Nope, he's not examining that latch and trying to figure out how to get into it at all. Juuuust sitting. Perfectly innocent.]
[After a couple minutes pass without anyone paying much attention to him, the Murkrow walks over to the back edge, getting a better look at the latch keeping the sliding glass door shut; the next two targets of his attention are the shopkeeper with the keys, and Momo's pokéball on Heiji's belt. Hey, what're minions-in-training for?]
[He takes another minute to study the lock - just in case it might be easier to get into it without going to the trouble of getting the Pachirisu loose; when the shopkeeper looks over, he's sitting innocently on the case, an occasional glance down at the Dusk Stone.]
[The utterly-not-doing-anything-why-are-you-looking-at-me-bugger-off pose doesn't change when a glance back at the shopping floor finds his trainer, standing at the case, shooting him a lineface. Nope, Heiji's not buying that look.]
[He sighs, and flags the shopkeeper down.] How much's the Dusk Stone?
[A couple minutes later, Heiji's 5K poorer, and holds the stone over to the Murkrow with the same linefaced deadpan.] Easier t'just let me know than go through all th'shenanigans, yanno?
[The Murkrow burbles some sort of noncommital noise - this certainly is a surprise - and then grabs the stone...]
[And when the light clears?]
[There's one incredibly smug and very much larger crow.]
[Heiji raises an eyebrow at the now small-harpy-eagle sized bird... Is this "unnaturally large" thing a trend for everything in Johto?] I hope y'realize you're not ridin' on my shoulder anymore.
[The crow's response is a small, unimpressed snort-sound.]
((Video - Goldenrod Gym))
[This video is brought to you by another installment of Jynx-cam; the sounds of Whitney's sobbing can be heard off to the side, and Heiji is sitting on the ground, leaning back against an also-flopped out Houndoom, an Aerodactyl sprawled on the other side of the dog with its head on the Houndoom next to Heiji, a Gible and a Honchkrow on either side of their trainer, and his Pachirisu in his arms. All of them share about the same unimpressed, watching-a-train-wreck expression.]
[This has not been a good day for Whitney.]
*SOB* an'an'an'you're all picking on me and my ~POOR POKÉMON~ *SOB* BULLIES!!
[...Yeah, it's still continuing.]
[A certain squirrel seems to be shifting slowly from train-wreck fascination to distressed - he knows how Gym battles go, and there's something missing! Something important!]
[He's just caught in the middle of launching himself to the ground by Heiji.]
MOMOTARO-!
PACHI!! Pachiriri pachichichi!!!! [This is accompanied by a lot of franting flailing and pointing at Whitney. He knows how Gym battles go and they're supposed to get a Shiny!!!!]
You just wait with th'rest of us!
Pachiiiii~iii.... [The squirrel wilts, hanging limp from his hand; he just sighs - ]
[But it sounds like the crying fit is finally dying down to sniffles and getting distracted by the squirrel.]
*sniffle* Oh-oh....what is it ...you want something?
PACHI!!!
Oh, right, you want the badge! [Heiji gives Yuki, and the camera, a despairing look, motioning with his free hand to kill the feed; the video clicks off.]
