[025] Video/Action Ecruteak (Burned Tower)

[gochuugoku]

[Good evening, Route, tonight China can be found within the Burned Tower. He's stepping along the floorboards carefully, so they won't collapse under his weight. China's voice can be heard off camera.]

This is where the three Pokemon were resurrected by the legendary Ho-Oh, aru... I wonder where they are n--Wa!

[One of the boards collapses under China's foot with a loud noise, causing him to stumble.]

B-but you're not hurt...?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, aru. Ow...]

Haha...

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Ah... [ she doesn't seem convinced. ]

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

[More nervous laughter.]

S-So, Kisa, have you ever heard of the Pokemon Ho-Oh before?

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Ho-Oh...? [ sorry, China, she looks blank. ]

It's this legendary Pokemon that has several colored feathers and is said to trail rainbows behind itself when it flies, aru. The book I read said it used to leave in this tower before it was burned down.

That's why I'm in here, I wanted to see, aru.

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

It sounds... really pretty...

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought too, but to my disappointment it isn't here, aru. Then again, I guess I'm not too discouraged since they do say that Ho-Oh has not returned since the fire.

Still, this tower is amazing by itself, aru. It still stands despite all it's been through!

[Except it's not too stable... what, with holes in the floor and in the ceiling.]

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

But the floors...

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Y-Yes, I've noticed, aru. [He looks down at his bruised ankle off-camera.]

But now I know that if I stay on the right side, the floor is stronger there.

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

B-be careful...

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Of course. Although, when I look through that giant whole in the floor, I don't know what it is, but it feels like there's something down in the basement, aru.

My Pokemon can feel it too!

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Something... like that bird...?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure... I don't see anything down there, but I can feel it, aru. It seems like a ghost almost, or some sort of energy.

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

A-a ghost...?!

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Who knows, aru. The legend also says that three Pokemon perished the fire. However, it can't be them because Ho-Oh resurrected them shortly after their deaths.

[A very long pause before--]

...Or it could just be Nie, my Gengar sneaking up on me again, aru.

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... Your Gengar...

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

She was Hong Kong's before he left, but she's under my care now, aru. She seems to really like me. I don't mind, but sometimes I can't help feeling that she's watching every move I make whenever I take her out of the PC, aru.

[Which is exactly what she does.]

She never acted like that toward Hong Kong, though. I wonder why.

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Maybe... she still has to get to know you...

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Um... I think she knows me already, because... she seems to like me more than she did Hong Kong, a lot more, aru.

[And by a lot, he means A LOT. To the point of obsession.]
