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.]

[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...

[justicereigns]

[And because it finds hats stylish.]

Well, I guess it's better than tea parties. Sit. You can have more food when Pervert-Prince finishes cooking and the meds kick in.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[Luffy just needs some shades and that pokémon is his.]

Don't wanna sit. [He doesn't wanna eat either, but like hell he'll actually turn it down. He just keeps roaming around Smoker in a circle, looking for beetles.]

[justicereigns]

[And Smoker will feel amazingly betrayed. He should get one. Or a totodile he can name "Sandy" after Crocodile and confuse... the world.]

Fine. I'm sure the exercise is good for you. [Scratches his chin.] Try the trees. All the bugs here seem to be ridiculously oversized anyway.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[Yeeessss! That would be fun. Except then Luffy can't build sandcastles with it. (Because all your pokemon are now hereby meant for the sole purpose of entertaining your traveling group.)]

Yeah! [Trudge trudge. He goes looking around the tree. In a few minutes, he comes back with a bellsprout, dragging it by its leg.] Smokey, what's this one?

[justicereigns]

[He'll just have to get a sandshrew or something for that. Or maybe evolve his geodude to a graveler.]

Bellsprout. I assume because their heads look like bell flowers.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[Get a Sandslash for the claws.]

Oh. I'm gonna fight it!

[It's squirming. So Luffy sets it down and pulls out a pokéball.]

Marimo!

[And it's out. It already looks distressed. Even moreso as Luffy picks it up and...]

[justicereigns]

[Or a tyranitar.]

.... I'm still pretty sure you aren't supposed to fight them like that. [STARES at the deranged little chibi trainer.] But what do I know, I got stuck with a fish.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[Yeeessssss.]

Kaito said it would work.

[Throw! And Bellsprout... flees!] HEY!

[justicereigns]

Quick, run after it. [Watches Straw-Hat in amusement.]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[And he zombies in its general direction, then finally tackles it. It's the most pathetic wrestling match ever, in which the Bellsprout wins.]

[justicereigns]

[Wanders over a little worried because even on an off day, Straw-Hat's not that pathetic.]

You want to go see one of the nurses?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

No!

[He doesn't bother getting up though, and just lays there rubbing his eyes.]

[justicereigns]

[Stares at.]

Would you rather just lie there?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Yush.

[Because he's actually a little comfortable. Crossing his arms, he drops his head on them.]

[justicereigns]

You are one weird kid you know that?

[Snorts and sits cross-legged next to him. He did promise not to leave him alone regularly after all.]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Am not!

[Meanie. Luffy just tugs his hat down more and yawns.]

[justicereigns]

Oh? And what do you call it?

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Not weird.

[But he's not sure what to call it. He shuts his eyes for a little, wiggling closer to Smoker.]

[justicereigns]

Very weird.

Anyone who wants to be the next King of the Pirates would have to be weird.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Oh... [Well, he'll deal with that. He grins.] I'm very weird then!

[justicereigns]

[Bursts out laughing.]

And no one would call you a liar for that kid.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[Give him a moment...

Wait why are you laughing, Smokey?

Wait a minute...]

HEY!

OTL html fail

[justicereigns]

Yes, weird chibi?

/pat pat

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

DON'T CALL ME WEIRD!

[And he... weakly punches at Smokey's leg.]
