Pokemon: Downtown

[idolpro]

This is where people come to play it seems. The Battle Arena, where you can challenge your friends, rivals, or anyone really, sits side-by-side the town's Pokemon Center where you can get your Pokemon healed for free after a rousing battle. You and your Pokemon partner (even your entire unit!) can star in short plays to be aired at the movie theater or even beauty pageants showcasing their new hair-cuts and clothes. There's a karaoke bar, a small theme park, an arcade.

[meanwhile, Shuppet is like...eating his anxiety. nom nom. also he like immediately tries to defend Shuppet.]

Jus' 'cause she don't look very fearsome don't mean that she's a pushover. Ain't there a sayin' about that or somethin'?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There are lots of sayings to make people ... or pokemon, I suppose, feel better about themselves.

If that's what you need to get through the day.

[wastoldto]

...ya really like underestimatin' people, don't ya? [Shuppet floats around his head. Mmmm negative emotions.] I ain't nothin' but a no-good doll anyway but ya shouldn't put Shuppet in the same place.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[No good doll...

Wait a minute.

W a i t a m i n u t e.

He's seen this guy before. (Once upon a memory). Squints just to be sure, but yes. There aren't too many people that look like Mika]

So you got dragged in here as well.

[wastoldto]

[squints at him suspiciously with his one working eye.] Whaddya mean? [who the heck is this guy. of course, whatever else he might have said is cut off when Shuppet jumps on him jealously. how does a 5 pound pokemon knock over a teenage boy, even a really skinny one? good question. and then she starts floating off]] Uuuuhhhhh, whaddya doin', Hyacinth? Ngahhh, come backkkkk- [starts to pick himself up. and that's definitely a porcelain hand.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Intensity just laughs.

As - is that how it is? How interesting.]

Your pokemon is making a mockery of you.

[wastoldto]

She ain't makin' a mockery of me. She's just actin' as she sees fit. [to Shuppet] ...do ya want a closer look at somethin' over there? Or d'ya just want to be away from here?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[How far has Shuppet floated away? Can Intensity make a grab for her?]

[wastoldto]

[Shuppet is close enough to grab, yes, especially given his long noodle arms: she hisses, and Mika's head whips around, trying to see what is going on with...only one eye.

...Whaddya doin' to Hyacinth?!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Nothing at all. We're just bonding.

[Leans Shuppet to the left and right like a child showing off a toy]

Right, Hyacinth?

[wastoldto]

[Shuppet hisses unhappily.]

She don't like that an' she don't seem to like ya. Ya should let her go.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I see. Think fast then.

[And he tosses Shuppet to Mika]

[wastoldto]

Bwuh- [this is such a stupid-sounding noise. at least Intensity's voice gave him a clue of where to look - ack, his blind side, and he whips his head around- and makes a grab for Shuppet but misjudges the distance due to his lack of depth perception.

at least Shuppet can float, so she doesn't hit him in the face. he's like immediately trying to comfort her, though.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He can't see out of that eye. Hmmm. Interesting.]

And the two of your were reunited.

I'm sure the audience is very pleased.

[wastoldto]

[on closer examination, it's made of glass. a doll's eye.] Issat the kinda thing this audience likes?

[Shuppet floats back to his arms, hissing at Intensity.] But ya didn't need to do that to her.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course not. I didn't need to do it. I wanted to do it.

Or is that something outside the realm of your experience?

[wastoldto]

Yeah, I'm real familiar with people like ya.
