39th Transformation [video/action for travelmates]

[exeggutorhead]

[The feed opens on a pleased looking Zoroark curled on the floor of an inn, and a Houndoom wearing sunglasses that's sitting next to her and looking very proud of himself, his tail whapping against the floor. As for the reason why, there are a trio of red and black eggs sitting in between the front paws of the Zoroark. She's clearly showing them off for the camera.]

I've got a problem. You see… [The camera turns around to show Envy, who is putting on a fantastic act of 'oh whatever will I do'.] I've got these eggs, and as amazing as the Pokemon they'll hatch into are going to be, I can't take care of three more of them.

[He sighs, shrugs, and then grins.] But I figure some of you would be happy to own one of these, so I'm going to be selling them. They'll be one thousand each.

[Translation: Someone take these eggs he doesn't want them. He turns the camera back around to focus on the eggs and their mother again before the feed ends. Come on, surely you want something so cool, right?]

((ooc: All eggs have already been claimed!))

*oh, now that's a pokemon he hasn't seen often....*

Those eggs are the same species as the fox-like one...?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

That's right. They're called Zoruas.

Were you interested in buying one? [Yes please take one of these things off his hands.]

Re: [video]

[dreamsofahero]

*nods*

I think I've seen post with them a time or two before. I already have a dark type, although those do seem to have an interesting ability...

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

The illusions? It's quite the ability for a Pokemon to have, and a very useful tactic in battle if you know how to make use of it.

I can have Lilith here give you a demonstration if you'd like. [He nods in the direction of the Zoroark.]

Re: [video]

[dreamsofahero]

Yes. It's different from the way a Ditto transforms, isn't it? I can imagine it must make for interesting strategies.

_{[Henry pops up. There are rings under his eyes and his voice is raspy.]}

Did you ever figure out how to teach that dinosaur or whatever how to fly?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Yeah, I did. [Well actually bananasaur did but Envy is happy to take the credit anyway.]

He's getting pretty damn good at it by now.

[Although damn Henry you look less than good.]

...what happened to you?

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

I'm kinda under the weather. I was just curious, I haven't heard from you in a while.

What kind of pokemon is that?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Guess I haven't been on the 'Gear much...a few things came up.

[aka two important people disappeared at once and he didn't feel much like talking to the network :c He does look perfectly happy to talk about Lilith, though. He points at her over his shoulder.]

You mean her? She's a Zoroark, one of the new ones that showed up on Valentine's Day.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Yeah?

_{[Henry was a good listener! Even if he was a little grumpy today.]}

I've never seen one before. It almost looks like a real animal from back home.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Only 1000? He's been meaning to pick up a Zorua for some time, and he really can't pass this opportunity up. He'll stick to text since his voice is pretty well known, and Cobra doesn't know how the seller feels about selling Pokemon to Rockets.]

I would like to buy one of those eggs if you have any left.

[Text]

[exeggutorhead]

Sure do, but I'll need a name and where I'm sending it to.

[He is on good terms with several Rockets, so he wouldn't particularly mind selling even if he knew Cobra was one. But it's not like Cobra would know that.]

[Text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[A name, uh, quick think of a name. Better pick someone who isn't here so they can't find out about this later.]

Duke. You can send it to the Goldenrod Game Corner. I'll pick it up there.

[Text]

[exeggutorhead]

Okay then, Duke, I'll send your egg there.

How much do you know about what this kind can do?

[Text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I've never personally trained one, but from what I've seen, they're similar to Dittos, except they use illusions.

[It took every ounce of willpower for Cobra to not add something about Dittos being terrible in there.]

[Video]

[usedwrench]

...Envy, why is your Houndoom wearing sunglasses?

[The tone is curious, really, just curious and she kind of hopes that she doesn't offend them with the question. It just kind of slips out of her mouth.

Oh, but hey! That other pokemon looks like a fox. Winry's never seen one before, at least she doesn't think that she's seen those before... But somehow she ended up collecting dog-like pokemon which include foxes too.]

And what's that pokemon?

[Video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy rolls his eyes, but doesn't look offended. It's more at his Houndoom's ridiculous habit.]

He likes wearing them. He used to belong to Greed, a long time ago. [This is said as though it explains everything.]

She's a Zoroark, one of the new kinds that showed up around Valentine's Day. [Hmm maybe he could convince her to buy one? He's pretty sure she'd take good care of it.] They've got a useful trick, they can put up illusions to make themselves look like anything. And they're loyal and smart, too.

[He reaches to scratch Lilith behind the ears, grinning at the camera.] You want one of the eggs?

[Video]

[usedwrench]

[She's tempted to roll her eyes right back at you, Mister Eye Roller! ...Though, now that she thinks about it, it's not extremely uncommon for pokemon to wear something, is it...?

Oh, it used to belong to Mister Greed? ...C'mon, girl, don't imagine the dog grinning like him.]

They look cool on him. And the Greed part explains everything, really. I'm not even kidding. [Should she wish that she was just kidding? Nah!]

[She listens curiously, and smiles a little at his actions.

...Wait, what? Useful trick? Illusions?]

...Illusions to make themselves look like anything? Like a Ditto? Or those pokemon that spend time in Goldenrod's appliance stores?

[She'll answer to that last question later, promise!]

[Video 1/2]

[exeggutorhead]

It's not surprising that that idiot can make everyone around him act like idiots too, even after he's gone.

[He mainly sounds like he's annoyed just thinking about Greed, but under that there's the tiniest bit of affection. They had actually started getting along a little better by the time Greed disappeared.]

[Video 2/2]

[exeggutorhead]

[But he's also very happy to brag about his Zoroark's abilities! Especially since they're so close to his own lost power. His demeanor changes in an instant from not-really-annoyed to showoff.]

Much better than a Ditto or that electric thing. Zoruas can make themselves look like other Pokemon, yeah, but they can also look like people. Can't talk to go along with it, but other than that it's a perfect illusion. And I would know.

[Video]

[usedwrench]

[A little amused by the Greed comment, but she'll leave it at that.

But the happy bragger is also amusing, though this one just makes her smile a bit more. And he'd know? ...Zoruas sound cool, she'll admit that.]

That sounds [not going to lie] amazing. You two wouldn't mind showing an example, would you? Please?

[Because she wants to see it! Not because she doesn't believe him, but because ... reasons. If she's not going to buy one, then she can at least see what it can do.

...Unless they think that she'll have to take one and wait and see, that wouldn't be so bad option either.]

[action]

[trailweblaze]

It's a shame you can't keep them.

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

And have four of them? One is enough.

[Still, he looks amused. He really does like having Lilith around, and if he was going to have four of anything, it would definitely be the 'shapeshifting' trickster foxes.]

And somehow I don't think your bird would like it.

[action]

[trailweblaze]

_{[Miguel laughs at that.]}

She wouldn't be all too happy, no. _{[but BABBY FOXES!]}

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy snickers.] It might even be worth keeping one just to see what would happen with that.

I already found people to take all of them, though.
