[Post 013] Accidental Video/Action in Goldenrod City

[The video opens up to the glaring, narrowed eyes of Marianne the ~~Demon Fox~~ Ninetales. She makes a snuffling sound of displeasure at the screen before getting up, walking around the 'Gear and picking it up to reveal a very, very large pile of snow not far from the beach of Goldenrod City. You can see a bike on its side with one wheel still spinning to the side of the screen briefly before the 'Gear swings around to - ]

AAAAAAAaaaaAAAAA -

[- a wailing pile of snow?]

[Oh, wait, there are France's legs, sticking out from the left end from the snow pile. Well, there's a sight you don't see everyday. The legs flail about for a bit, kicking at the air uselessly, before, with a particularly loud wail, France's head pops out of the top of the snow. His arms appear next, flailing about like his legs, and then he tumbles out of the icy prison, still sobbing and looking generally pretty traumatized.]

['Gear mets the ground and you see Marianne's underside and tails before her foot lands on the 'Gear, cutting the feed off.]

[Zongxian just smiles and nods his head since he's still too young to understand what 'epitome' means.]

Of course it can't be practiced indoors, aru. Besides, she's much too large to fit into my room. In fact... [China looks around for a suitable target. He stops when he sees a large pile of snow lying in the middle of the road. He points at it.] Lien-Hua, attack that.

[Lien-Hua looks at the pile of snow and backs away from China and the others. She cocks her head back a little before unleashing a Flamethrower from her mouth, melting the snow into a puddle.] Excellent, aru. [China just smiles at her.]

Well, I -

[At the attack, France shrieks and scrambles away, dragging his bike with him. Marianne bristles at the attack and she stands in front of France hissing and spitting little Embers, ragingly angry. Stay away from mine! Stay away!]

JESUS CHRIST!

[Lien-Hua shows no anger towards Marianne, but she does curl her body around Yao defensively. She merely looks at Marianne coolly. As long as thou don't do anything to harm mine master, then I shall do nothing to yours. After all, it appears that we both care dearly for them.]

[China just pats Lien-Hua's back as she curls around him.]

I believe we already discussed our culture differences, no? [He knew arguing with France about dragons would get nowhere.]

[Marianne has a few choice words to say to that but, for the moment, just settles for growling and glaring.]

[France, on the other hand, is pissed.]

This isn't about cultural differences! I was in that pile of snow not so long ago! I could have been melted for your carelessness!

Yes, you were in that pile of snow, aru. I would not have allowed Lien-Hua to use Flamethrower if you had still been there. After all, I may be Communist, but I am certainly not a ruthless Nation, aru. [Oh, remember: Lien-Hua's a water-type yet she was able to use a fire-type move. Coincidence? Or is her dragon-type taking over?]

[Lien-Hua lays her head down in the snow, but keeps her red eyes on Marianne. I remember thou from the pokemon center in Violet. Thou hast changed in appearance, but thy love for master has not. I respect thy dedication.]

[France huffs and crosses his arms sulkily.]

You still should have chosen another snow pile.

[Pokemon moves are strange, strange things sometimes...]

[Marianne snarls and glares at Lien-Hua. France is mine, and I'm not about to give him to anyone else! If you ever do something like that to him again, I'll eat you and your master, too!]

It's not like I had the intention of harming you, despite what's happened in the past, aru. Still, there's no way to go back and change it, so it's just a waste of energy to hold a grudge. [Oh, how much hell he's been through.]

[It's all thanks to the power of TM's!]

[Lien-Hua keeps her head down and keeps a calm look on her features. That is exactly the kind of attitude a pokemon should protect their master. Although, it is possible for one to get carried away. I love mine master, but I have to be careful, lest I may harm him unintentionally with my size.]

[France grumbles under his breath and sighs loudly.]

Fine. Be glad I'm merciful.

[TMs: how do they work? CD-ROM + pokemon = ???]

[Marianne huffs. It's hard to stay so angry when faced with such a calm opponent. She's still suspicious, though. There's no such thing as too much protection. My master is strong, but I have to be stronger.]

Come now, aru. It's a beautiful day, don't allow yourself to be sucked into bitterness.

[I always questioned that when I was a kid. Although, I think now maybe the CD demonstrates how the move is done and then the pokemon learns it or something...?]

[Lien-Hua closes her eyes, but she remains awake. That is what thou thinks. However, thou art correct saying that thy master is strong, therefore thou must be strong as well. When I evolved, I was overcome with joy, for I knew then that I could be of more use to mine master, though he never gave up on me when I was still just a Magikarp.]

[France kicks a bit of slushy snow, huffing.]

I'll be bitter if I want to be. You're not the boss.

[Marianne turns up her nose at Lien-Hua. Anyone who shows kindness to a Magikarp is a bit broken in the head. That's why there's so few of you in the wild.]

[China blinks before suddenly bursting into laughter, not to mock France, but just because he can't help but laugh at the look on his face. Zongxian tilts his head at Mother since he usually didn't just break into laughter like this.]

[Lien-Hua, on the other hand remains focused on Marianne and opens her eyes. Mine master is perfectly healthy. Unlike the Europeans, he does not only look on the outside, but the inside as well.

[France looks back at China, pouting now.]

Why are you laughing at me? You're so mean.

[Marianne squints at Lien-Hua, her tails stilling in their almost constant side to side movement. Are you insulting my master?]

[China stifles his laughter and just if he could pat France's shoulder, he would've, but Lien-Hua was still curled around him.]

I'm not laughing at you at all, aru. It's just that I find it funny how you change your emotions so quickly.

[Lien-Hua slightly tightens herself around China protectively. I do not intend to insult anyone. Peace, Lady Marianne.]

[France huffs and pouts now. It's a very childish combination.]

My emotions are perfectly rational! I'm a very passionate person.

[Marianne continues squinting at Lien-Hua, although her tails restart the swaying. You definitely sounded like you were.]

I'm sure you are, aru. You must forgive me. I grew up in a very formal and serious environment, so my emotions don't tend to fluctuate as much, aru. [He smiles.]

[Lien-Hua slowly uncurls herself from China and slithers over his left side. She keeps her eyes on Marianne, though. Then I apologize if I've caused any inconvenience towards you and your master.]

[Rolls eyes. Oh, France, you so mature.]

You're just old.

[Marianne turns her nose up. You'd better be. She leans back against France, mewling for his attention. He absentmindedly pets her.]

I really should get somewhere warm.

[China stammers.] I-I am not, aru! I'm just very proper is all!

[Lien-Hua makes patterns in the snow with her tail. I am sincere. Although, if you wish to have a friendly match someday, Lady Marianne, I won't deny your wish.]

Yes, the three of us should be heading back as well, aru. [He takes Zongxian into his arms and puts a hand on Lien-Hua's face. She leans into his touch.]

[France sniffs before grinning wickedly, reaching over to make sure he has everything before leaving.]

Nope. Totally old. It's part of your charm.

[Marianne glances back over, obviously interested. Perhaps. Not right now. Maybe when the weather is better. My France shouldn't be outside so much.]

For the last time, I am not old, aru! I'm perfectly fine! [China puffs out his cheeks. However a sudden breeze causes passes and he hugs himself.] We should probably hurry back. This kind of weather isn't good for the skin, aru.

[Lien-Hua nods her head. Indeed. Mine master usually forgets that he is not invincible here like he was at his home. She sort of bows her head at Marianne. Safe travels to thou and thy master.]
