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.]

Miyuki's cheering loudly. ]
Yeah! Whoohoo! Friggin' awesome, Metal-bro!
[ And when her whooping and cheering dies down to laughter, she adds: ] I've gotta get me one of those, dude.
video;
[Buster, in the background, makes a noise, and Nero chuckles.]
Pretty sure that means he'll need somebody who isn't Red to make 'em with.
[...and Buster relaxes, confident that Nero gets it. Because the thought of mating with Red makes him physically ill.]

But if you want a Larvitar egg or somethin', we can make it a trade. Just gotta borrow someone's Ditto. No big deal, 'cause people around here, like... jump at the chance to help a pretty young lady. [ Grin grin! ]
video;
Pretty young lady, huh? You got a sister?
[Don't you love him, Miyuki?]
Larvitar's the big one with the horns, right? We'll figure something out.
video;
Larvitar's the little one with the horns, but they're like six and a half feet tall when they finish evolving into Tyranitar. Good at stomping on stuff, Rock and Dark type.
They've got, like, a... cocoon stage, too, but I just gave mine an Everstone until he was almost ready to evolve the final time, so he was only a lame cocoon for a few days.

I guess a tank's not a bad thing. I'm just more of an offense girl, myself.

video;
I guess I've kinda been training how I play: aggressive net games, Pokémon style. [ She laughs a little. ]

[ This, matter-of-factly. Also lol like she's still not little ahahaha— ]

video;
I could teach you. I'm a good coach.
[ No, really, she is. ]
video;
[Nero was always the last kid picked in dodgeball--not because he was bad, just because he massacred all the other kids so ruthlessly the teachers eventually stopped letting him play.]
video;
If you say so. Might help you blow off some steam, though. [ Check this sassy eyebrow. She thinks you need anger management, Nero. ]
video;
[Nevermind a racket and ball. Not even denying he's got a temper. He knows it! He tries not to consciously let it show, but, uh, it's kind of a defining trait. Y e p.]
I'll take up flying, instead. 'Cause that--[Giving the dormant Buster a glance.]--was amazing.
video;
Yeah, no kidding. [ A beat. ] Have you never flown on your Charizard before?
video;
Nah. Red wouldn't let me, and besides, you need that special move to ride 'em. Buster got it when he evolved.
video;
Oh, yeah? You can teach a Charizard Fly, but you've gotta have the badges from Violet and... like, Cianwood? I think? [ She shrugs. ] By the time my Bagon hits level whatever-they-evolve at, I'll probably have both. I mean, I've already got the Zephyr Badge, so.

[Maybe once the weather gets better, because like hell he's gonna make her hike in the cold and the snow.]
video;
Ooooh, Kyrie~? ♥
video;
[DID YOU EXPECT HIM TO HAVE A ~SECRET CRUSH~ FOR YOU TO EXPLOIT, MIYUKI.]
video;
She crinkles her nose and laughs a little, apparently undecided as to whether this is cute or gross. ]
Is she pretty?
[ Priorities. ]
