exeggutorhead: (true form)
[There's one incredibly displeased homunculus skulking around Goldenrod City on Friday. He had been almost anticipating this weekend after last time, when he remembered getting all his powers back for those few days. And true, he did have them back now. Well, most of them.]

[The speed, the quick healing, and the strength are all present and accounted for. But something seems to have glitched on his transformation. Envy is stuck. Not in the normal, palmtree headed form everyone knows, that would be frustrating but tolerable. No, he's stuck in his true, original form. The first thing he did--after he was finished cursing and putting fist-sized holes in the nearest building--was steal himself a hoodie. He's too tall and broad-shouldered now to fit into anything he already owned, and he doesn't want to walk around showing this form to everyone and their Growlithe. Never mind that nobody would know it's him. It's the principle of the thing, damn it.]

[He can be found anywhere in the city that day, hood pulled up over his head and hands shoved in his pockets, wearing a scowl on his face. And occasionally kicking trashcans to send them sailing a good twenty feet away. Despite the jacket, he doesn't notice the heat at all. He's also being followed by a Tyranitar and a Zoroark that people familiar with him might recognize.]

[At midnight that night, though, whatever was wrong with his powers manages to fix itself. So he'll be spending Saturday and Sunday with his mood much improved, taking advantage of the few precious days a year when he gets to look however he wants.]

[That and cause as much no-consequences trouble as he wants.]
exeggutorhead: (WRATH LET GO OF MY LEG)
[Envy has been glitching around much more than he'd like to today, and now he doesn't know where anyone is. Or where he is, for that matter. Somewhere on a route, and near the ocean. But wherever he is, he's looking to get back to a city. He was transforming occasionally to pass the time, and as far as he was concerned was making pretty good time.]

[At least, right up until he was lifted off his feet by something invisible.]

[One of said invisible creatures picks up the 'Gear after it falls out of Envy's pocket, accidentally hitting the 'on' switch as it turns it over curiously in its little lizard hands. Anyone watching will get a good view of Envy apparently floating away three feet off the ground, with only hovering red zigzags in the air beneath him to give any kind of hint as to what is happening. He's trying to get back to his feet, but there are a whole lot of Kecleon, and it's difficult to get his feet under him for more than a few seconds even with his superpowers restored.]


Let go of me, you bastards! Where the hell are you trying to take me?

[And man, is he throwing a fit about it. Meanwhile, one of the red stripes scales his back, and appears to be holding a small crown made of long grass and sticks, which is carefully placed atop Envy's head.]

[Looks like someone's transforming powers have gotten him declared King of the Weird Chameleons.]

[The feed cuts out here, but the Kecleons aren't going to be able to carry him away for too much longer before he manages to stand up and escape…with a few literal hangers-on. Anyone who comes across him after said escape may notice the floating red zigzags either following after him or actually clinging onto him (try as he might to fling them away, they always seem to catch up again and climb back on eventually).]
exeggutorhead: (whut)
[Normally when this whole 'flash of light, powers back' thing happens, Envy's perfectly happy to enjoy being able to transform again. But this time he's got other things on his mind when he suddenly reappears in a place he's never been to before.]

[The first thing he notices is the music, which immediately puts him in mind of a flat world of pixels inhabited by prehistoric skeletons. He pulls out his 'Gear and turns on the video feed, frowning at the screen. Some viewers might notice that with the return of his inhumanity his pupils are now slit like a cat's.]


You know, this teleporting thing is starting to get really old--

[He's interrupted when all six of the Pokeballs on his belt open to release what is definitely not his team.]



[The ghosts cackle and dance in the air around him, pulling faces and also pulling Envy's hair as he curses and tries to punch them away. Which works about as well as can be expected (not at all).]

Where the hell did you bastards come from?!

[But then, all of a sudden, he freezes, eyes widening as he stares at something off camera. If there was any color left in his face anymore it'd be gone. Envy turns and runs, and viewers will get a good look at that sixth replacement Pokemon right before the feed turns off.]



[[ooc: Action can happen anywhere in Lavender town (or just...anywhere since fourth wall) while Envy tries to lose his herd of ghosts. Anyone who doesn't want to deal with said ghosts can also assume that he's successfully gotten away by the time they run into him.]]
exeggutorhead: (I'm a sneaky bastard)
[The feed opens on the curious face of a young girl, around ten years old. She's got long black hair, and oddly bright turquoise eyes. She seems delighted at having gotten the Pokegear to turn on, but she doesn't say a word. On the side of the video, there's another, taller person walking, and the little girl is holding onto the back of their shirt--yes, a normal shirt today--with her other arm, but their face isn't visible.]

Hey! I challenge you to a battle!

[The little girl's head lifts up at the shout coming from somewhere in front of the pair, and the forgotten 'Gear tilts to show that the one she's been following after is Envy.]

[…which begs the question of why the hell is there a little kid following Envy around. Spoiler: she's his Zorua. Envy raises an eyebrow at the challenger.]


Didn't I beat you yesterday?

Yesterday doesn't matter! I've been training my Drowzee and I'm going to win!

Suit yourself. [There's a smirk spreading across Envy's face now. After there's the unmistakable sound of a Pokemon being released from its ball and a cry of 'Drow!', he grins, not looking down.] Lilith, why don't you handle this one?

[And with that, the little girl who'd been holding the camera grins back up at him and nods, puts the 'Gear down on the ground, and runs out to face the Drowzee. And with the 'Gear on the ground, there's a semi-decent view of the battle area and one very confused teenage trainer.]

What? That's not a Pokemon, you can't send--

Faint Attack! [The little girl, apparently Lilith, doesn't waste any time before executing the ordered attack, knocking the Drowzee right out before either it or its trainer has the chance to recover from the surprise. Then she turns to skip back to Envy, snickering and looking very proud of herself. …Really, her expression looks exactly like one that Envy would make. And, as Envy seems to have noticed the 'Gear and has picked it up, it quickly becomes clear that the two of them are wearing the same damn smirk. Envy certainly doesn't seem to mind that his successful trick was caught on camera.]

Pokemon have all sorts of useful abilities, don't they?

[And with that, he ends the feed. But he'll be out in Goldenrod city the rest of the day, Lilith still following behind him and still illusioned to look like a child, for anyone to encounter. As a note, people who spend a lot of time around Envy may have already seen Lilith wearing this particular illusion.]
exeggutorhead: (I'm a sneaky bastard)
[Envy hasn't been sleeping well lately, and he never really developed very good sleeping habits in the first place. So it's no surprise really that he's up and about in the middle of the night, hands in his pockets when did he start wearing pants so often anyway. And then, suddenly, there's the BRIGHT FLASH and Envy just freezes because even though it's been a while he remembers the three day memory lapse and insane dreams that happened the last time there was a flash like that. He glances around briefly, just in case there's three of the same woman pointing a gun at him again.]

[Wait. He feels different. Or no, rather, he feels like he's supposed to. Without really thinking about it, he brings one arm up in front of him, and with a small amount of concentration, a bright light travels up it and leaves a stone spike in its wake. He stares for a minute.]

[And then he grins, and transforms. Not into anybody in particular, just one of the people he and Miguel and Tulio have conned before, a particularly gullible man that he remembers laughing at. The sparks and light have barely faded before he's changing again and again and again, laughing with half-manic relief. He wears remembered faces from both Amestris and Johto, and the only ones he doesn't take are from the people he knows well.]

[Eventually, he settles back into his regular form, complete with his old outfit, still wearing a wide, cheshire grin even though he's stopped laughing.]


Heh, looks like Johto's done something right for once.


[Video sent a short time after this:]

[When the feed comes on, Envy still looks to be in an extremely good mood, judging by the smirk on his face. He's got his powers back, how can this turn out badly? Viewers might notice his dead-person-pale skin and weird purple cat eyes.]


So, I can't have been the only person to get my old powers back, can I?
