Envious One

[It's sunset when the video feed comes on, so there's enough light left to see Envy holding this up to the camera with a grin.]



Almost forgot, but that's two. I grabbed it before we left. It was too easy, Chimera crushed those ghosts.

[Behind Envy stretch the flat farmlands of the road to Olivine. The group's made camp for the night near a field of tall, fenced in grass that looks like some sort of pasture. Of course, any tall grass in Johto is also the perfect place for there to be a ton of wild Pokemon. And since his back is to the grass, he doesn't see the Murkrow sneaking up behind him, its red eyes focused on his open bag. And the shiny gold chain that's peeking out and glinting in the last of the sunlight.]

Anyway, we should be almost there. You've got to have beaten us by now Tulio--

KROW!

[The Murkrow had finally gotten close enough to dive at the bag and come away carrying the gold chain with it, startling Envy enough that he doesn't quite manage to catch it before it's already flapping away into the field. He saw what was taken. And he while there is an oddly genuine upset note to his expression, mostly he looks furious.]

You can't have that! Give it back!

[And off he goes, just taking off running after the thieving Pokemon. Wow, that necklace must be important to him judging by how fast he's going. Good thing he's wearing real shoes and pants for traveling, and won't be sprinting through a field in a miniskirt. As he enters the grass, he seems to realize that he's still carrying the 'Gear, and just tosses it back over his shoulder, where it cuts out as it hits the ground.]


((ooc: Badge is mod-approved! Video responses will be delayed until he gets back to the camp after catching the Murkrow!))

[The Pokegear seems to have fallen out of Envy's bag onto the grass, getting turned on in the process. He's clearly in the middle of a battle, Chimera facing up against an Ekans that was definitely starting to get tired. After a few more minutes of battling, Envy started to call for one more Bite attack, but then stopped, looking contemplative.]

Hey, Chimera, just keep it from running.

[He backs towards the camera and his bag, crouching down to rummage through it and withdraw one of his pokeballs. He throws it with decent aim, and it hits the battered Ekans before absorbing it. Shake….shake…shake….Ding! Envy grins triumphantly before going to pick the ball with his second Pokemon in it up.]



Heh. What do you know, it worked. Now you can quit bothering me all the time whenever your buggy friend's put away, huh? [He frowns down at his happy Larvitar, but his tone could aaaalmost be called affectionate. When he walks back to his bag, he finally notices that his 'gear is on.]

Damn, this thing turns on for no reason I guess. Hey, anyone who was watching. This damn weather is driving me crazy, anyone who wants to fight, lemme know. Not with the Pokemon, a real sparring fight. No weapons I guess, but who needs 'em. I'm in Violet, I'll meet wherever. Not like there's much else to do.
