014 [Video/Action for Goldenrod]

[soggypastry]

[Hey, Johto. Enjoy that loud crash you're hearing, because it's only going to get louder and shatter the afternoon's relative calm. What was it? A crashing Skarmory, if the metallic screeching noise is anything to go by.

Of course, the video feed that suddenly comes on confirms that; Snow the Skarmory is hopping to his feet from where he'd crashed on the pavement, and a ball of running yellow fur can be seen just past him. Fang the Haunter is in direct pursuit of the yellow thing, and Lightning's boots cut across the feed a moment later.]

Fang, cut him off!

[The ghost seems to nod, but what, or who, is the "him"? That question is answered as the yellow thing runs right past the gear again. It's a Pichu, freshly hatched if the egg shell still half covering its head is anything to go by. It doesn't seem to be able to see anything at all, and one of its little paws catches on the cobblestone streets. This allows Lightning and Fang to catch up with it, and Lightning crouches down to remove the shell from its head.

After a moment of blinking in the newly bright light, it peers up at Lightning with wide eyes, then scampers up her arm with some quiet "Pi"s. After a moment of circling like some kind of cat would, the Pichu flops on Lightning's shoulder with an exhausted little sigh. She gives it a wry smile, then reaches over to pick up the gear, shutting it off in the process.]

Geez, he's a feisty one.. [Serah says this while huffing. She'd been scurrying about trying to catch the little thing, too, but was unsuccessful.]

Aw, but he's so cute. You aren't mad at him, are you? Not with a face like that!

Huh--Yuffie has one like that. Seems like they're a handful.

Oh, a Pichu? [A smile tugs at his mouth] It looks like everyone's eggs are hatching today.

I'm not sure to comment on the fact that whole scene could have used a wacky yet jaunty chase theme, or how their relationship will likely be similar to Asuka-san's shoulder partner...

Aww, it's one of the cute yellow mouses. Mini me's got one I think. Congrats Mom. [Have a grin Lightning. Yuffie thinks this is kinda precious]

Safe!

[ like Rise wouldn't help a Pichu roundup. Rosemary looks a little disappointed that she couldn't do a decent herding job, though, doubling back to her trainer for muzzle pats. ]

[ Talim is, as usual, flanked by her Scyther. Syi Salika looks like he was ready to jump in and help if he had to ]

That was quite the chase. Is he okay?

[Estelle is practically spun around in place as the Pokémon rush by, and the tiny pink star-shaped thing that was following obediently is now clinging to her foot and making tiny cries]

Oh...oh dear, it's all right, I think they're just playing...

[but she looks at Lightning for confirmation anyway] Is everything all right?

...that's an energetic little Pichu.
