006; video: backdated to april 6th!

[So there’s Marui by the exit of Ecruteak to Route 42, with a rather large backpack and stuffing his face with a donut. He’s standing next to a Rapidash fashioned with bicycle handlebars (because he told Masamune he’d try it out, too). He has a map out in his free hand.]

Mahogany isn’t as far as I thought it was. At least we’ll be out of here soon, so you don’t have to worry about another Ghastly suddenly appearing in front of you. [There’s a teasing grin on Marui’s lips as he looks at his companion, Yagyuu.]

[The aforementioned Yagyuu, for his part, looks mildly disgruntled at the teasing, but largely keeps his expression composed. He’s walking along with his own Rapidash, which is more traditionally saddled.] It’s around a day’s walk, isn’t it? That should be quite manageable, particularly with the help of the horses.

[Yeah, he’s not touching the ghost thing. Blech, ghosts.]

Yep! We’ll get there in no time, and I’ll be one step closer to the League. Plus, after I get my last badge, we can explore Kanto! [Marui folds the map and keeps it in his pocket. He was so excited just thinking about travelling to Kanto.

He pulls out a packet of gum and offers a stick to Yagyuu, with a big grin on his face. Sometimes, it was hard to tell if he was just genuinely happy or if he was going to tease. Only sometimes, though.]
And if another ghost-type appears, I promise I’ll catch it!

[Yagyuu looks as though he’s about to refuse the gum out of sheer force of habit, but then after a moment, reconsiders and actually takes the offered stick, though he doesn’t pop it into his mouth.] Yes, because that’s precisely what the house needs. More ghosts.

They’re just pokemon, Yagyuu. Nothing to be afraid of! [Marui says it like he’s never been scared of ghosts at all, but Yagyuu was the one with the issues here, not him. He unwraps and shoves two sticks of gum in his mouth and starts chewing.]

But man, I should have asked you to come with me when I got my Fog badge! [Marui is snickering, and hopes that Yagyuu didn’t catch that. He blows a bubble and unclips a pokeball from his belt, he opens it and aims at at the broadcasting ‘Gear, and the next instant, the ‘Gear falls to the ground with a clatter.]


I really should figure out how to keep Ouja in his ‘Ball. [Marui walks over to pick up the gear, gives it a grin and a wave before shutting it off.]

[Yagyuu's just calmly (well, apparently calmly) walking along with Vampa all saddled and ready for a ride on one side, and Phantom sticking close on his heels on the other. He's never shown a particular preference for his Absol before, despite it being his starter, but hey, when you're in a place populated with ghosts, having a Dark-type close at hand isn't such a bad thing.]

[Like he would ever say no to a challenge. The dictates of good manners and appearances nag at him a little, even as he considers it...but then again, it's just the two of them out here, and Marui already knows all too well his more competitive side, and he's still a little wounded from the recent loss of Niou.]

If you think Umeboshi can keep up.

[Vampa takes this placidly, recognizing his own progeny and accepting the challenge in his usual calm, steadfast sort of way. He knows he's got the age and probably power on Umeboshi, but he's not the type to make a fuss. He'll just appreciate the run for what it is and rise to whatever demands his trainer makes of him.

Yagyuu, meanwhile, regards the Absol at his side.]


Would you care to run awhile, Phantom?

[He remarks this as he double-checks Vampa's saddle, readying it for the race. Phantom, pleased for the attention, paws at the ground and looks as determined as always, which is almost certainly a resounding yes.]

Good, then. And where is our starting line?
