FIRST RIDE ✦ VIDEO / ACTION [GOLDENROD CITY]

[diamondo]

[ VIDEO ]

Alright, I've got a question to those of you who've been here awhile. Why the fuck doesn't the Game Corner boot minors out?

[Mondo is sitting on a bench somewhere in Goldenrod City, looking a bit irritated. Sitting beside him is a Riolu, kicking his feet and staring at the 'Gear like it's the most interesting thing he's ever seen.]

I thought I was getting away with getting in 'cause I look like an adult, but I swear to fucking God I saw a kid in there today! They didn't kick 'em out either! The fuck is wrong with this place? Kids aren't supposed to be allowed to gamble like that!

[Clearly he's only mad because he thought he was breaking the law and sticking it to the man or whatever. Turns out he wasn't. Whoops.]

While we're at it, what all can you get from the Game Corner, Pokémon-wise? I wanna see if there's anything there worth trying to get. Probably not, but it's worth a shot, right?

[Mondo motions for the camera-mon to cut it there, but instead it keeps rolling.]

Fuck, what am I gonna do with all these coins if there ain't anything I want there? Just fucking give 'em away? Seems like a waste--

[And then suddenly a loud cawing sound catches his attention and Mondo is promptly attacked by a bird.]

Fuck!! Get the fuck offa me you son of a--!!

[The bird squawks when Mondo hits it and flies off, carrying Mondo's coin case with it.]

Oh you've gotta be fucking shitting me! Pierce, Ryder, let's go!

[And with that, the feed cuts on Mondo and the Riolu, Pierce, dashing off after the bird.]

[ ACTION - GOLDENROD CITY ]

[If you're in Goldenrod, chances are you'll find Mondo chasing after that pesky Murkrow. Occasionally he'll have Pierce the Riolu aim a Sky Uppercut at it, but it seems the Murkrow is just fast enough to get out of the way. Occasionally the coin case will drop a few coins here and there that Ryder the Scraggy will pick up and stuff in her... uh, pants-pouch-thing.

This ridiculously stupid show will go on for quite some time if it's not interrupted, until Mondo finally seems to realize that the smartest thing to do would be to catch the Murkrow. He finally throws a Pokéball at it and retrieves the Coin Case that it dropped, shoving it in his bag and glowering at the Pokéball.

Much to his displeasure, the ball locks with a click. He's now the not-so-proud owner of a mischievous Murkrow.]

Fucking hell.

[diamondo]

Shit, has that happened to you too? I mean, mine didn't really beat me up 'cause it's still pretty weak, but she fucking headbutted me in the knee! First day here too!

[She was only playing around, but still. Rude.]

_{[Henry gives the new-comer a look that is the look a man can only give after he has seen wars.]}

I was mauled by a gang of Jigglypuffs.

[.............................]

The... round pink ones that sing? What did they do, sing you to sleep and draw all over your face?

[That's what they did in the show, right? That doesn't sound so bad!!]

[no_ufo_ending]

Disable. Pound. Rollout. Were not meant for use against the human body.

[diamondo]

Fuck, that sure as hell doesn't sound good. And they all attacked you?

[HAVE THEY NO MERCY OR SHRED OF HUMAN DIGNITY-- of course not, they're Jigglypuffs.]

[no_ufo_ending]

Yes. So don't go around Route 34 before the sun has a chance to come up and make a whole lot of noise unless you have a pokemon with you that can deal with it.

[diamondo]

I've only got three... well, four now, so I think I'll be avoiding it. Thanks for the tip, man.

[A pause. Oh yeah, names are probably a good thing, right?]

I'm Oowada. Nice to meet you.

[no_ufo_ending]

Henry, same. All I had with me with was an owl that didn't even like me that much.
