04 ;; [Video - PokéCam]

[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.]

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

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

No, it's stupid!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You got your gear back, right?

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Yeah when I knocked him down.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

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

[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]

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

That's what it is?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Yeah! It's a type of bug!

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

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

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

It doesn't fight?

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

It's like a rock and it just sits there.

The box thing says it can get hard. And that's all it does. Marimo's really stupid.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Maybe it just needs to evolve.

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

But... how? I can't train it and make it better.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You could throw it at its enemies.

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Really?! Does it work?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Worked on your-- er, Aipy, didn't it?

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it did! I'm gonna try that!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

It'd be kind of like a tackle attack, right?

[video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! I'mma do that!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Good luck, little guy!

Thanks!
