glaciates | NINTH REBELLION ❅ VIDEO / ACTION [GOLDENROD CITY]

[ VIDEO ]

[Good morning, Route! The sun is barely up and already Isaac's broadcasting something. Clearly someone here's an early riser. This morning Isaac's sitting outside with several of Goldenrod's buildings in the background, surrounded by icicles. If you care to count, there are four Bergmites all clamoring for Isaac's attention and one Avalugg sitting behind Isaac. It looks like another Pokémon is serving as the cameraman today, though there isn't any indication which Pokémon it is.]

Hey, so I have a question.

[And as usual, Isaac doesn't know how to start this. He seems a bit more at ease today and is actually smiling for once. He's also dressed down, in just a dark green t-shirt and jeans despite the temperature and the surrounding Ice-types.]

I'm looking for sparring partners. Uh, human ones. I don't really spar with my Pokémon. Anyway, I've been here awhile and I'm pretty sure my fighting skills are beginning to suffer, so I'd like to work on that. I'm in Goldenrod right now, but we can always set something up sometime later. This isn't something I need immediately or anything, I just figured I'd see if anyone's interested.

[And then Isaac looks awkward, because how the hell does he end something like this.]

Uh, thanks for your time?

[Well, he tried. The feed cuts out there.]

[ ACTION (GOLDENROD CITY) ]

[You know, when Isaac first evolved a Bergmite into an Avalugg, he was expecting something more impressive. Not that Avalugg isn't impressive, but ever since it was compared to a dining room table he hasn't been able to unsee it. It also doesn't help that Avaluggs are really slow. If you happen to be out around the southern outskirts of Goldenrod, you might catch sight of Isaac riding on top of that Avalugg like the world's slowest-moving beastmaster. There are quite a few Bergmites piled on behind Isaac, and they're sliding around with practiced ease on the slippery surface of the much larger Pokémon, never once risking falling off. Apparently we're riding in style today.

(This may or may not have something to do with the fact that Kimblee has an awesome Pokémon to ride on and it's been awhile since Isaac's blatantly copied Kimblee. This also may or may not have something to do with the fact that riding on a glacier was one of the biggest highlights of Isaac's life back home for a brief, shining moment before some brats showed up and ruined everything in the best way possible.)

This display of slow goes on for a few minutes before Isaac finally glances down at the Avalugg.]

I'd get back to the hotel faster if I was walking...

[He then proceeds to jump off the Avalugg, dropping the six and a half feet to the ground without injuring himself somehow. The Bergmites all crowd around the edge of the Avalugg, chirping down at Isaac excitedly.]

No, don't you dare-- You guys know I can't carry you--!

[Too late. INCOMING BERGMITES!! Since they weigh about 220 lbs individually, there is literally no way Isaac is going to be able to catch them all. Care to help or watch them crash into the ground and see if they shatter like regular icicles?]

[YOU DID...]

Yeah? What'd you end up with, anyway?

I started out with a Cryogonal. It's basically a... giant carnivorous snowflake.

[HE WISHES HE WAS KIDDING, THANKS POKÉDEX]

[There is really only one reaction to have to that, isn't there.]

...What the hell.

Yeah... I didn't know about that until I was reading up on it. I've never seen it do it either, but now I don't leave it out of the Pokéball that often, just to be safe.

[...............]

What, you think it eats people too, or...

[...............................THINGS HE HADN'T CONSIDERED]

I...

[--AM COMPLETELY HORRIFIED NOW, THANKS]

[...SHIT UM]

At least most of them don't attack people anyway?

Y-Yeah, I think there'd be a pretty big problem if they did, so they probably don't...?

[HELP]

...They totally don't.

[SHE REALLY HOPES THEY DON'T.]

Yeah, of course they don't.

[THAT'D JUST BE WAY TOO MORBID FOR JOHTO, RIGHT??]

[UM...]

So how are your friends doing? The ones that were with you on the plane - those are the guys you were telling me about, right?

[look a distraction]

[THANK GOD]

Yeah, they're doing alright. Ah, their names are Kimblee and Archer.

They seem...interesting, I guess. Which one's the one you don't like?

I mean, I'm guessing it's the guy with the dented head and the fireplace poker up his ass, since both of you seemed to be doting on the one with the ponytail and the obvious mental problems, but what's his name.

Uhh...

[WOW WHERE DOES HE EVEN BEGIN WITH THAT UM

GOOD LORD YOU COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN IT ANY MORE WRONG IF YOU TRIED]

Archer's the guy with the stick up his ass, Kimblee's the one in the suit. I'm dating Kimblee.

[hahahahahaha WOW um]

...No offense. About the mental problems.

Yeah, uh...

[He'd ask what gave you that idea but um. That flight was kind of a wreck...]

But uh, yeah, they're doing well.

[...Look, don't ever ask him to try to help carry a conversation it's not happening.]

[Nah, we're cool, actually.]

So how long have you been dating the guy, anyway?

[Oh good, a topic he really likes!!]

It'll be three years in April.

[IS IT OBVIOUS THAT HE'S EXCITED]

Huh. Hopefully it makes it that far, then.

[...She actually isn't trying to be mean with that...]

What made you pick him, then?

I'm sure it will. We've lasted this long, after all.

[He doesn't actually take that as being mean, so that's good?]

It's... complicated. He helped me through a really difficult time back home and... well, things didn't end all that well there, but once we got here we were able to talk about what happened and work through everything. But I guess a big part of it is that he doesn't treat me like most people do.

[...]

That's not the only reason obviously, it's just not something I've ever really had to describe before, so it's kind of difficult.

[She pauses for a moment.]

He's the fucked up one, right?

[It's just a description, not anything too pointed, actually.]

You said you know someone who's fucked up the same way I'm fucked up.

I wouldn't word it like that. You guys are just different. It's not inherently a bad thing.

[...]

But yeah, he's the one I was talking about.

You don't have to try to make me feel better about it, you know. When whatever's supposed to make you feel bad about killing people doesn't work, I'm pretty sure that's not "different", that's "fucked up." I don't really care, you can call it what it is.

[...well yeah, but that's awkward...]

I guess.

Your boyfriend doesn't like that, though, I guess. Right?
