[002] Video/Action for those in Cherrygrove

[gochuugoku]

[The screen shows the green grass of the forest area in Cherrygrove City where Yao was currently walking. The pokegear is attached to his backpack and the screen is directed downwards, which is why only the grass can be seen now. Yao's pokemon, his military shirt, and his burn had all been taken care of the day before (with a little help from Nurse Joy, of course). His burn would be completely healed soon.

Yao becomes visible in the screen once he sets his backpack on the ground and takes out Li's pokeball.]

Okay, Li, time for some fresh air, aru. [The pokeball opens and Li plops down onto the grass. He lets out happy cries for being freed at last. Yao smiles down at him as he takes the Sentret's pokeball out from his backpack and opens it. The Sentret lands in front of Yao and China.]

You're so cute, aru~ All you need now is a name, aru. Hmm... what should I call you, aru? [As he's thinking, the Sentret's head turns in many directions, with a frightened expression on her face. She freezes when she spots Li, who merely tilts his head at her.]

Oh, I know, aru! I shall call you Ling, a-- SENTREEET! [Ling lets out a frightened cry.]

What's wrong, Ling, aru? [He approaches her with his arms outstretched towards her, but Ling slaps away one of his hands and scurries up a tree.] Ling, get down, aru!

[She stares down at Yao, distrust shinging in her eyes. Yao sees this and thinks back to the time when he caught her on Route 29. Perhaps he had went overboard with Li's attacks. He glances up at her before digging into his pants pocket.]

Come on, Ling, I have some tasty berries for you, aru~ [He holds out some Oran berries in her direction, but Ling turns her head away. Yao sighs.

Li flops over to the tree trunk and tries to reason with Ling that Yao was not a bad person. However, Ling grabs the nuts that are growing from the tree she's in and starts throwing them at Li.]

Hey, don't treat Li like that, aru! [Ling responds by throwing a nut at Yao, which hits him right in the forehead. Ow!

[He rubs his forehead before glaring at Ling.] I am your new master, whether you like it or not, aru! Now come down, aru! [Another nut hits him in the head.
Seeing his partner being treated in such a way made Li angry. The Seel looked up at Ling and sent a stream of angry cries at her.]

Seel! Seel! Seel!

Sentret! Sentret!

Seel!

SENTRET!!!

[Yao can only imagine what they're saying to each other as their voices become more angry. When he glances at the backpack, he sees the screen of his pokegear on. Embarassed by the thought that anyone watching this was probably laughing at him right now, he quickly walks away from his still-arguing pokemon and picks up the device. A faint blush can be seen on his cheeks as he looks into the screen.]

What should I do, aru? It looks like Ling doesn't trust me, or Li, at all, aru.

I'd sit at the bottom of the tree until it decides to come down. Sometimes patience is the key.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Maybe you're right. Still, Ling seems to have a really stubborn nature.

[Well, if Ling decided to stay in the tree forever, it's not like China's lifespan was getting any shorter.]

[greenwindchange.livejournal.com]

All that means is that you have to be more stubborn.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Fighting stubborness with stubborness, aru. It sounds crazy enough to work.

[Look, its Canada and Sedna! They've recently had some trouble with a new member of their team as well, which is probably because Canada and France were initially trying to eat him.]

H-how did you catch her...?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Well, while I was on Route 29 I saw her and sent Li to get her. I had him use Headbutt and his horn hit Ling right in the back. She went flying into a tree trunk and then I had Li use Watergun while she was still recovering from his previous attack.

To be honest, I can't blame her distrust for us, aru.

[video]

[newfrance.livejournal.com]

W-well, when I caught Maple, France-papa and I were trying to eat him...

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. France and I had an interesting conversation about that, aru...

How did it go, anyway? No one got hurt, did they?

[video]

[newfrance.livejournal.com]

S-sedna got hurt, but she's okay now!

[LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF.]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

You... shut up, aru.

[Video] That icon is win. XD

[originofawesome]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Video] Thanks. XDDD

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

You are very lucky that I'm not standing right next to you, aru... Or else you would be very quiet right now...

[video]

[cookwarewarrior.livejournal.com]

Oh my...

Maybe be patient with Ling, and perhaps a bit more lenient at first? Not too much so, but enough for her to realize that you aren't cruel? I'm sure being captured must be scary for them at first...

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

That could work too. But I need to think of a way to get her to come down from that tree first, aru.

[video]

[cookwarewarrior.livejournal.com]

Well...I'm pretty sure you can call her back into her pokeball, but that probably wouldn't make her very happy. Do you have any treats or anything you could offer her?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I've already tried offering some Oran berries and some trail mix to her, but she turned her head away at both. Maybe I should return her to her pokeball. I'll just have to keep trying until she finally trusts me, aru.

[ DEEP DOWN HE IS LOLING, BUT... for his own sake, he watches silently. ]

[ video ]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Why are you so silent?

[ video ]

[bauhinias.livejournal.com]

To study your techniques, teacher.

[ video ]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I guess that's okay. Although I'm sorry you had to see that, aru.

action!

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

[Since she's right next to you, she couldn't help but to hear all your video responses so far, China. She just kinda... snickers at the responses and just stares at the Sentret.]

They're not listening, huh~?

action!

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

No, they're not. I can't believe how stubborn that pokemon is, aru! She's almost as stubborn as my little sister, aru!

action!

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

Nations have little sisters too, huh. [China earns a rather pitying pat on the back from Mammon.] Just return that little thing back to its Pokeball.

action!

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Yes, we do. And little brothers too. [He appreciates the pat on the back.] That would be best, wouldn't it, aru? I'll try again another time.

[He takes out Ling's pokeball and opens it. She disappers in a red light.]
