0.06fm; video/action for azalea town
[ The rooftops of Azalea are visible through the treeline high behind him thanks to Smoochum-camera again, and it's clear from how much cleaner he is - even in his Waiter outfit, all suited up - that the boy has long since settled in. Checking in with senpai done, a few days work lined up, and some good training in progress; despite its tiny status, he isn't minding this town at all. The camera swings down to show a rather scratched-up Geodude smacking down yet another Ekans, Minato giving calm commands as always, Beezlebub the Spinarak still sitting in his usual spot on Minato's shoulder. ]
Finish it, Chernobog. Tackle.
[ And to that, Chernobog gives a weary duuuude, throwing himself forward; but to no avail. The Ekans moves faster, rendered faster with the anger of its heavy injuries, lunging out to Bite hard onto its head. Chernobog struggles valiantly, but succumbs to fainting soon enough, eyes slipping shut. Minato's expression is set in stone, turning his head to give the nod to his spider buddy. ]
Beelzebub. Shadow Sneak.
[ With a triumphant spiiin, Beelzebub leaps off Minato's shoulder to do just that, flinging itself through the air to land behind the snake. Its shadow extends in an unsettlingly malevolent manner, capturing Ekans in a tight squeeze. The snake doesn't last long at all, hissing out its pain- Smoochum has the decency to turn the camera away as Beelzebub shadows the energy out of Ekans, Minato finally noticing his audience. ]
Lilim... [ The boy crouches down to pick up the Smoochum and the Pokegear, getting a happy smooch! from off-camera. ]
Hey. I'm at Azalea. Anyone have tips for--
[ Wait. Is his Spinarak glowing? Minato glances sideways, the evolutionary process bathing him in pale light. None of it is caught on camera, but it's clear what happened: we now have an Ariados. ]
Huh. I... [ Blink. Eyes widening. ] Beez--
Aria!
[ There's quite the crash here, the Gear going flying, clattering onto the dirt path. Everyone gets a lovely skewed image of Minato with a much larger three-foot tall spider on top of him, attempting to get on his shoulder. ]
...you're too big for that now. [ ...spiderpat. ] Sorry.
