04 ;; [Video - PokéCam]

[little_anchor]

[And the PokeGear turns on to Luffy groaning. He's looking kind of grumbly and sleepy, but the Aipom's stolen his device again.]

Stupid Aipy, give it back!

[The pokémon, offscreen, snickers at him.]

GIVE IT BACK! [And a groan and he holds his stomach. He's covered in sugar, which he's been eating nonstop until most of it's gone. The Aipom does not want to let go though, and just hops back; Luffy's distanced from it, and appears a bit smaller on screen. And in a few seconds, the view goes up, up, up! into a tree.

Luffy grumbles and fishes a pokéball from his pocket.]

Marimo, come out!

[Psch! And it's out. The poor Metapod has no idea what's going on. He just sits there, using harden to defend himself...

Because Luffy's just picked it up...

And thrown it at his own Aipom.

The camera shakes and falls rapidly, screen going black halfway before just turning off. Oops.]

[He probably will. Too bad his Gyarados doesn't know any water moves yet.]

Right. I never would have guessed. [Extremely sarcastic and eyeroll.] And where do you plan to find these beetles?

You suuuure?

It sounds like a tummyache to me.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[Get to teaching, Smokey!]

Under rocks and on trees and stuff.

[So he goes towards a rock and pushes it over. And then by a tree, and just... leans on it. He doesn't want to look anymore.]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Marimo used harden!

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I wonder if all Aipoms are stupid like that.

[Video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I don't have a tummyache!

[Grooooan.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

I dunno about stupid, but annoying? Sure sounds like it.

[justicereigns]

[It'd have to be 35 for Aqua tail and that would probably sting a lot >>]

That's all you've got? [Wow. Weak Straw-Hat.]

[Video]

[savedinapinch.livejournal.com]

[And she's grinning 'cause kids are amusing.]

So what's up with all the groaning, then?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[Yeaaahhhh, that might not be kid-friendly. You might just need a hose or a squirtle for now.]

Not weak... [He pushes himself from the tree and walks around it, looking for anything bug-like. Besides the one weedle he walks over, nothing.

So he comes back to Smoker and leans on his legs.]

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

No, it's stupid!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You got your gear back, right?

[Video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Because...

[And he tries to think. He just grumbles.]

Leave me alone!

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Yeah when I knocked him down.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

With-- what was that thing you threw at him?

[justicereigns]

[If he finds a squirtle he'll get it; just to wash Luffy.]

Just sick? [Desperately resists the urge to pick Straw-Hat up and try to make it better.]

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Marimo! He's a... um...

[And Luffy takes him out and holds him up. Distressed metapod is distressed!]

This is Marimo!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

-- Metapod! [he's seen a few of those while traveling so he recognizes them on sight]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[And then can they ride on its shell?]

Not sick... I'm not gonna get sick either! [Except he groans again. He shoves himself back and goes beetle hunting again. Which is really just him walking back and forth like a failboat.]

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

That's what it is?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Yeah! It's a type of bug!

[justicereigns]

[:O Totally. The squirtle would clearly love Luffy more than Smoker.]

[Watches Luffy's failboating just with his eyes in bemusement.]

Straw-Hat, didn't your Grandfather teach you anything besides how to get punched?

[Video]

[savedinapinch.livejournal.com]

[She giggles and shakes her head.]

It was the sugar. That's causing the tummy ache. You shouldn't eat so much of it.

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Oh! [Luffy liek bug.] Cool! It doesn't do anything though.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[That's because Squirtle secretly wants to be a pirate.]

Uh-huh. He used to throw us in the forest a lot so I learned how to eat frogs and hunt stuff! [And he sounds energetic for a grand total of fifteen seconds before going back to being tired again.] But I can't eat the pokémon here so...
