05 ☣ video/action for route 7

[The feed opens on Buster, glowing. Red looks mildly annoyed, because her marvellous evolution wasn't video-taped. Buster himself is shuffling around, trying to avoid the camera.]

Come on, don't tell me you're getting shy now. I told Nanako she'd get to see.

[Hey, it's a big step in the life of a Bagon! What if his wings are too small? WHAT IF HIS TAIL IS FAT, GUYS. Red says something, probably offensive, which at least gets Buster to stop actively running away. If the bitch can do it, so can he, dammit.

Buster caves and lets the glow settle over him, hunching down as if to pounce. It's clear that under the light the great big cocoon of a shell his body has been hiding in is cracking and peeling, his form doubling, tripling in size—Nero and Red are forced to back up, and finally the wings unfurl, huge red arcs sailing overhead. Nero chuckles, a little breathless, pleased and impressed.

The glow fades, revealing...Buster, bigger, huge, badder, teeth the size of knives, yellow eyes the size of dinner plates and a great big set of horns on either side of his head. And wings. Wings more than big enough to fly on. The remains of his shell are now a hard casing that shields his underside, protecting his belly from threats below. (Also his tail is not fat. In fact, it is muscular and sexy. You know, if you like dragons in that way.)

Buster's first order of business (after checking himself out) is to roar in Red's face. FUCK YOU, BITCH!!!!!!!

Aww yeah, that felt good.]


Hey, not ba—hey!

[The 'gear goes tumbling as Buster then lunges for Nero, snagging his teeth in the young man's jacket and...yanking him up and over the Salamence's broad back. Attack his trainer? More like taking him for a test drive. Nero barely has time to regain his composure before Buster unceremoniously—kind of trips over his own wing okay, you can evolve and look badass but dignity is apparently not included in the package, and—takes off. The last sound is Nero's exhilarated whoop and Red's unhappy snort.

The 'gear lands in the grass and switches off.]

Forgive me if I have trouble gettin' used to the idea of a layer of fabric protectin' me from the elements.

[ Cliff doesn't mind. He can only snark at Ironhide for so long anyway ]

... Charmander?

[ She's not bashful, just ten, and growing out of her 'kissing is gross' phase. The transition isn't a graceful one. ]

Good thing you've got someone to keep you from punching out all of Kanto, I guess.

[ She lays her head on the side with a little smile. Matters of romance are still out of her grasp, really, but she's getting closer. ]

[It's alright, Yukiko more than understands not to judge someone by a first impression, at least not completely.]

Then it's nice to meet you Nero- [She pauses, slightly unsure of his age. He looks a bit older than her though?] -san.

I dunno if the Breeding Centre have any Bagon eggs. [they don't] But if Buster left you with any eggs, I'd like to have one.

[Ven shakes his head]

Nah, you seem pretty rough-and-tumble to me.

I presume she undergoes some sort of miraculous transformation the moment battle is underway and becomes a precision battling machine against which no foe can stand.

[The irony is, he's being sarcastic, and yet this is pretty much exactly what happens. Not that he knows that.]

Still. There's no harm in looking after one more.

... Yeah, I could see how that would be useful. Looks pretty awesome, too.

How many times can a dude punch someone without it being a thing, Metal-bro?

Alright, fine, I'll wait. If anything, I've made plenty of money stomping gym leaders, so name your price.
