06 ☣ video/action for vermillion

[ripped]

[Have a shot of Nero's hand, holding the Thunder Badge.]

That was a piece of cake after the hell that voodoo chick in Saffron put me through; finding that damn switch was a worse pain in my ass than breaking into HQ back home, though.

[He turns the camera around. His hair...well, let's just say that the levels of static electricity in the Vermillion gym are quite high, and leave it at that. Dandelion? Got nothin' on this.

Clearly Nero hasn't noticed, because he runs a hand through it, a bit impatient, only making it worse. Behind him, there's a snuffling sound, before a big, lumbering shape--his Druddigon, all teenage-gangliness and overenthusiastic movement--pushes her head affectionately against his side. She reaches up to fix his hair, but he doesn't know it, so he tilts his head away, letting her claw rub like sandpaper over his cheek. His eyes narrow.]

So, uh.

Anyone know how to make a pokemon like you...less?

[Because having a two-hundred-pound fangirl with scales like sandpaper hanging all over you during a gym match when you're trying to teach her how things are done is. Distracting.

Click.]

[private text message to Miyuki]

Did you see the new breeding center eggs getting announced?

There's a 3 for 2 deal going on, and I saw something you might like.

[you can see where he's going with this.]

[strategizer]

Nice hairdo.

[video]

[ripped]

[At first Nero looks confused--because his hair is very nicely styled, thanks--but his eyes, and eventually hand, wander upwards. His expression sours with realization.]

Shit.

[Video]

[infinitejustice]

...Why would you want a Pokémon to like you less?

[Video]

[ripped]

[A huffing sigh.] The whole hugging crap was cute when she was right out of the egg, but now it's just getting ridiculous.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

.... _[Snort.]

You look like a dandelion gone to seed.

_{[Because that's obviously more important than his new badge, or his predicament with his Pokemon.]}

[Video] 1/3

[Give him a moment.]

[ripped]

[Eyes wandering up...]

[Video]

[ripped]

...knew I should've brought water or something.

[Brb commencing anxious pat-down.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

Ah, yes, one can see the effect Vermillion's Gym had on you immediately. I'd suggest wearing a hat.

[At least Cecil had the good sense to hide his hair for two days.]

[video]

[ripped]

[It's still not gone? Fuuuu--grumbling, he pulls up the hood on his jacket. Better?]

[islandshore]

[Trying... not to laugh.

Key word: trying.]

What, don't like dragon hugs?

video

[ripped]

Not when she's putting friction burns on all my clothes.

[ video ]

[getthehorns]

[ Cliff doesn't do "subtle". Or "tactful". So he's just going to crack up laughing. ]

[ video ]

[ripped]

[Now has the hood of his jacket on, glowering.]

You can fuck right off.

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

...Well, have you tried being mean to it?

[He doesn't understand why you wouldn't want a Pokémon to like you, but that should be the obvious answer...]

[Video]

[ripped]

I don't want her to hate me, I just want her to hang on less.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Give it nothing but its least favorite food.

[video]

[ripped]

That's pretty harsh, pal.

[video]

[ex_aeroga402]

Why would you want one to like you less?

...And what happened to your hair?

[video]

[ripped]

'Cause she keeps hanging all over me.

[He now has his hood on, and grumps a little.] The gym is electric-types.

[havemercy]

[ That weird expression on her face? Yeah, that's due to trying to keep her laughter contained. ]

Nero, h-hello!! [ Must not snicker, must not snicker. ] Congratulations on another victory.

[ OH BUT HE LOOKS SO CUTE WITH HIS HAIR THIS WAY. ]

I wonder how I can take a picture of this current video...

video;

[ripped]

[ET TU, BRUTE. Nero had his hood on, grumbling unhappily.]

Not you too.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

[All he sees is hair. He could barely give a flying fcuk about the badge right now (since that's temporarily secondary). READY TO HEAR RIN LAUGH AT YOUR EXPENSE, DUDE? All he sees is Schwarzenegger with hair.

FWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAH!!!!!!]

[video]

[ripped]

[WITH HIS HOODIE ON, NOW, THANK YOU, and growling. You can fuck right off, Rin.]

[strawberryredgrave]

Yeah; just checking shit out here, teaching Sparda here how to fight. A guy named Luke sent me a metal coat to evolve him, but I have no idea how to use it. Something about trading...?

[ripped]

Pretty sure you gotta give him the metal thing, then trade him. Once you get him back he'll be different.

[video] SUP, ENJOY SOME LATE TAGS

[shadowdive]

... Nice hair.

You could try finding her something else to like a lot, like a toy or something.

[video] /enjoys

[ripped]

Fuck off.

[Thanks to Cecil's help, he looks much more normal now--the remainder of his dandelion hair is hidden under his hoodie.]

Somehow, I don't think she's the type for teddy bears.
