68th Transformation [video]

[exeggutorhead]

[When the feed opens, it's looking out over Goldenrod City from the rooftop of some high building. Then it turns around to show Envy grinning widely (and a bit wildly) and standing beside his Aerodactyl, who is wearing one heck of an elaborately secure flight harness.]

So, Johto, I've been wondering. Just how fast can an Aerodactyl dive? And today, we're all going to find out.

[The 'Gear shakes and moves while Envy appears to be attaching it into a little buckle contraption on the front of the flying harness and is left there to continue viewing out over the city. A minute or two later, while Envy gets strapped into the harness himself, the 'Gear starts hopping forward, the Aerodactyl's chin dipping into the frame. It gets over the edge of the roof, hangs there for a moment, and with a loud whooping laugh from Envy and a delighted screech from the dinosaur, starts falling straight down. Have fun with the view traveling at high speed towards the street below, getting within two stories of the ground before it makes a sharp angle and flattens out, zooming horizontal to the ground for a good ways before it gets to a more open place, a park from the looks of it, and the Pokemon goes in for a landing.]

[Shortly after the feed has stopped bumping around, Envy hops down and unhooks the 'Gear from the harness, turning it to face him once more.]

As you can see, the answer is pretty damn fast.

[He laughs again, and the feed ends.]

_{[The call comes in after the fact and it isn't even supposed to be a call. Henry hits the wrong button in his haste so when Envy picks up there is a mic-peaking staticy holler waiting for him.]}

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM

[Blake comes up on screen looking greenish.]

Jesus, buddy, if you're gonna commit suicide be goddamn polite and don't broadcast it.

[Video]

[wing_attack]

[... That makes him miss his wings even more thanks Envy.]

You could probably get even more height if you have your Aerodactyl catch the thermals over the big asphalt lots.

[There is only this face. And possibly excited squealing. You have made Papyrus' day.]

(Video)

[baremyfangs]

Damn, that's the kind of fun I'd love to be havin'. (No, really, she is super jealous.) What was it like?

[audio]

[exeggutorhead]

[HIS EARS, HENRY.]

I didn't need the buddy system! I was fine!

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Don't think Envy doesn't notice that green tinge. He just shrugs, completely shameless.]

What part of that looked like suicide to you? It was perfectly safe, I had a harness on and everything.

[That doesn't mean safe.]

[Video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy's never been a bird to know much about the ins and outs of technical flying like that, so color him intrigued!]

This time was more about diving and speed, but...hmm, I'll keep that in mind if I'm going for height.

You sound like you know what you're talking about.

Video

[exeggutorhead]

[AH YES, this is the sort of response Envy was going for, and he grins widely.]

Pretty cool, right?

[video]

[captainash]

......Not too bad. For a dive from such a low height. It's a good start.

(Video)

[exeggutorhead]

Get yourself something that flies fast like that, and you can any time you want. Best part of having a flying type.

It's almost like you're flying yourself, it's great.

[He'd never gone that fast even when he'd had his powers.]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Well then.]

A low height? You've dived from higher?

[He's looking both challenging and intrigued.]

(Video)

[baremyfangs]

What I wouldn't do for a dragon...

(She'd kill for one.)

Birds are alright, but imagine a big scaly beast zoomin' around the sky!

[video]

[captainash]

Higher? I've gone through atmospheric entry.

[ASH THIS NEEDS A DISCLAIMER.]

Inside a closed machine, admittedly, but that was a long drop. Great view, too.

[Video]

[wing_attack]

I should, considering all the time I spent flying on my own wings at home. ... And as much time as I spend flying on my Pokemon here.

[He doesn't do his circus act with flying Pokemon because he doesn't know what he's doing, after all.]

Re: Video

[coolskeleton_95]

THE COOLEST! I MUST DO THAT MYSELF!

[video]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Harness my ass. It's pure luck you're not a green smear of smartass on the pavement.

There's better ways to get a career as a stuntman.

[video]

[rocketralph]

Say! That looks like something we could use in the show! Haven't seen that Pokemon before.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Ha! Not sure the tent is big enough for that. Maybe if we had an outdoor stunt show.

[Although the circus does already sort of have a flying show.]

Carl's an Aerodactyl, I don't think they're out in the wild anywhere. I had to get mine from an egg, and I think that person got his from a fossil.

[video]

[rocketralph]

Can't see why we couldn't set something up...or, heck, you could fly through town with a banner for the circus. Even if you were too fast to see, it'd get folks talkin'.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Hey, that might work.

We could work on speed and advertise at the same time. If I could get something that makes a lot of noise, too...

[Hmmm]

I wonder if Wrath'd like to ride along.

[video]

[rocketralph]

_{[The wrecker's brows lift.]}

Now there's an idea! Surprised the kid isn't in the show already. He's a...he's somethin'.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy snorts.]

Yeah, something is right.

I wonder if Joker's ever asked him, I know Wrath hangs around him a lot. And he loves the circus.

I wonder what he'd do. Maybe climb up on top of impossible places.

[video]

[rocketralph]

Or fit into impossible spaces. I found 'em in my backpack once.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Well, how big is your backpack?

[Ralph you're kind of huge.]

He sleeps on top of the refrigerator at our house a lot. Or in closets. Sometimes on top of the hanging bar.
