Twenty-first Transformation [video/action for Ecruteak]

[It's been a while since the network last got any broadcasts from Envy's 'Gear; just a day shy of a month since he woke back up in Johto kicking and screaming. He's spent that time getting re-used to the world, getting used to being human and to everything that comes with it all over again. It was easier to manage this time, even after being gone a year, and he's not sure if he likes thinking about that.]

[But when the 'Gear turns on, it's not pointed at Envy's face, but up at the sky and the treetops. From the lack of buildings and the forest, it looks like he's out walking just outside of Ecruteak. The camera's following the flying form of a smaller-than-average Tropius as she wheels and skims along the treetops as fast as her leafy wings can propel her and actually looking oddly graceful for such an un-aerodynamic creature. She backwings right in the sight of the camera, neck arched like a question mark, and peers down at her trainer before she's off in another direction again. But she did stop long enough for viewers to catch sight of the little blue Riolu perched on the top of her head, looking perfectly secure in her footing. Apparently this is far from the first time the two Pokemon have done this.]

I still don't know how something looking like that can even fly at all.

[And there's Envy. The camera lingers on the flying pair for a moment longer before he turns the camera to himself. He's sitting on the back of his Tyranitar while Chimera lays out and enjoys the sun, so he's looking a bit farther off the ground than usual. Envy looks a far cry from the raging, wild-eyed person who woke up a month ago; he's back to looking composed and neat and just a little smirkish. Adjusted back into Johto? Mostly. Forgotten the reason why he was so angry? Hell no.]

There's something I've been wondering about, and I figured I might as well try the network. Does anyone happen to come from a world with a place called…'London', I think it was? I don't know anything more than the name, but--

[He's interrupted by a pair of loud, startled cries from up in the air, and the video tilts and wobbles crazily as Envy jumps up and off Chimera's back and lets the arm holding it fall to his side.] Damn it, Izumi--!

Watchers might be able to catch the remnants of a bright glow coming from somewhere above the screen before they'll see that Tropius make an extremely ungraceful, skidding landing in the dirt, along with a newly evolved and newly very dusty Lucario. Turns out that suddenly carrying a much bigger passenger while in the middle of some fancy flying trick does terrible things for your balance. Envy's already walking over to the pair of them, but they're getting to their feet and look like their only injury was to their pride. The now-Lucario barely even looks like that's the case, more concerned with looking over her evolved form with a mix of wonder and smugness.]

Heh, I was wondering when you'd evolve, Samus. [Envy sounds almost proud of her, and gives the fur on her head a ruffle with his free hand. Izumi makes an indignant noise and butts her head against his side to demand attention too. Envy sighs and relents, ending the feed to free up his hand before he winds up getting knocked over by a flying bananasaur.]

_{[Tulio's not sure. He miiight have heard about Londres once or twice, but it's much more likely he'll get it if you ask about England rather than the capital.]

[But either way, as is Tulio's style, he'd rather wait until he happens across Envy than answer the actual broadcast. So once he does, have a cocked eyebrow along with the standard crooked smile .. and he gives a nod at the pair of pokemons.]}

Let's hope that other one doesn't evolve too. One wrong step and we'd be dead. Stomped flat.

_[Durr.]

[Envy looks up when he notices Tulio coming, and laughs.]

I wouldn't put it past her, she's disobedient enough already. [Hey. HEY, trainer Izumi can understand you don't make fun of her. Envy gets another headbutt to the side for that one that doesn't knock him over but does make him stagger.]

Damn it you overgrown-- [Too late, Izumi has already flapped her way up into the air, making a bigger than necessary dust cloud on purpose, and has gone to shun him in the (sturdy) branches of a nearby tree. And Samus is making noises that sound very suspiciously like laughing at him. Envy just scowls at them both before turning back to Tulio and acting like nothing happened. You saw none of that.]

Yeah, if she did evolve we might be in trouble.

_{[Oh. Oooh, but he saw plenty of that, and takes a jab at it.]}

Yeah, but it looks like you're in trouble anyway. She could probably stomp you flat without being twice as big, if we're lucky.

_{[Look who's talking, mr My Pokémon Never Listen to me Ever Ever...]}

[Jab successful! Envy gives him a sulkish look, but he's not in an actual bad mood. And here's a return jab.]

Yeah, because yours listen to you so well. Imagine if Niña or Dinero got to be bigger than you.

[Oh wait but there is something he should probably tell you about that came up between this post going up and Tulio finding him.]

Learned something earlier you should know, though. Someone from my world showed up. Well, not actually, but from some...parallel dimension place, it's weird. But she's from my old group, and she's the same kind of thing I am.

Edited 2011-08-28 23:13 (UTC)

_{[Imagining Dinero as bigger than him is actually pretty scary... but alas.]

[He nods, not sure if this is supposed to be good news or bad news, and settles for a neutral tone and a sort of half-shrug with one shoulder.]}

Friend of yours?

_{[He didn't miss that 'same kind of thing' comment, but hell, Envy's alright, and it's not like he's able to be that here anyway, so he figures it's not all that relevant - well, at least not to him. It probably means something to Envy after all.]}

In my world yeah, and it seems like this version probably will be too, or at least my ally. And I'm not going to say it isn't good to see her again.

[It wouldn't be relevant to anyone but Envy, except for, well...] But you remember how I was when I first got here, right?

[Which is to say, massively disdainful of humans and violent.]

_{[Oh. OH. Yeah. Yeah, he does remember that, and he cringes at the memory and makes a bit of a face.]}

Yeah. And you're going to tell me she's some kind of trouble now, right?

Welll...I don't think so, not here. And you survived me at the start, so I think you guys could handle it. She's not so easygoing and fun as I am though.

So if you talk to her just...watch what you say a bit more than you did with me. [He's not incredibly worried about their safety, what with this Lust's master not being here either and Envy being around to handle anything if it did come up. But he would like to avoid huge drama between his new people and his (kind of) old people.]

You, fun? _{[He couldn't help it. Swear to someone he couldn't. But he does nod that he's listening:]} Yeah, alright ... uh, thanks for the warning.

_{[He sounds a little hesitant, but he will definitely keep that in mind.]}

So what's her name? And what does she look like? ... cause, you know, that would help.

Ha, don't sound so surprised. You know I'm the most fun person you know. [Okay exaggerating. He can't help it either.]

She'll probably be going by Isabel. [He's not sure Lust would appreciate him spreading her real name around if she doesn't want it used, even if he trusts Tulio not to go blabbing to anyone.] She's pale like me, has long, black hair, and she's got a red tattoo right under her collar that's the same as the one I've got on my leg.

[He assumes Tulio knows what said tattoo looks like by now, now that it's been warm out and Envy doesn't wear long pants all the time.]

Probably best if you don't bring any of this up with other people either, especially that she knows me.

Right ...

_{[He looks Envy up and down with a small open-mouthed frown, like some kind of clarification might be written on his skin or something.]}

What, scared your reputation will take a hit?

Heh, hardly. She may not be as fun as I am, but I'll admit she's got more class.

[Joking aside, Envy recognizes that look. And for how long they've been traveling together he guesses he does owe Tulio some kind of explanation.]

More people keep showing up from my world, and most of them are our enemies, like that guy who said he was going to kill me. It's safer if it doesn't get spread around that we're part of the same group, for anyone that might not know already.

_{[Thanks for that. He does appreciate knowing stuff, and he nods as he listens. He can understand this.]}

Don't want to get you into more trouble than you normally get into and don't want to get this Isabel person into it either. Got it.

[And there's a big reason why he trusts Tulio enough to tell him about this at all.]

Exactly.

...come on, I don't get into that much trouble.

Oooh yes you do. You're like the master of getting-into-trouble, second only to a certain blonde I know, and I'm not talking about your boyfriend.

_{[Gesturing to emphasize this. And he's exaggerating. Miguel is much better at that whole thing, but y'know. still.]}

I always manage to get back out of it, though. But careful, when you put it like that you make it sound like a challenge.

[He's joking. He wouldn't really start a 'get into trouble' contest with Miguel. ~~Probably~~.]

_{[...do it I mean, challenges are trouble, god!!]}

That's the thing! Then you have an excuse for getting into trouble and it's like a never-ending circle of it. You should consider it a challenge to get out of the whole thing.

_{[He's not terribly serious either, but this IS his problem with you lot. :I you just can't lie low. just CAN'T.]}

[They really can't. Tulio can you imagine having to deal with Miguel and Envy during the El Dorado scam? Can you?]

Maybe. But where's the excitement in that?

[He snickers.] The life threatening sort of trouble I could do with less of, but it always seems to find me.

_{[...let's not even think about that, okay?]}

Yeah, it does that.

_{[He sort of mutters that. Life threatening trouble is the worst trouble.]}

At least Johto seems to have let you off pretty easy in that department.

[Well Envy, half the time you run right into the life threatening trouble on purpose without even thinking, maybe you should be more careful.]

No nono. I'm let off because I take a moment to stop and think. If everyone did that we'd all be muuuch better off, thank you.

[Yeah okay maybe Tulio has a point but that doesn't mean Envy will admit it.]

Well there's not always time to stop and think when I do things.

[That is still not an excuse for half the trouble he gets into.] Besides, what about when you...

[Pause. He's having trouble actually thinking of times when Tulio got into trouble by rushing into it. Okay fine, point to you Tulio. :\ ]

_{[Ha. Hahaha. Ha! And thus, point goes to Tulio, and he's going to look pretty damn smug about it.]}

Ha! There! That's exactly my point.
