001 [Video | Action]
[Video]
--I already told ya, Scout. I'm gonna take it apart.
[The young person fiddling with the warp band doesn't seem to realize that the video function has been turned on yet-- indeed, the image was in fact upside down in the midst of the investigation. A little Emolga continued to tug on it's trainer's collar frantically, chittering and pointing at something somewhere off screen. They were outside that afternoon, in the shade of a gazebo somewhere in the park. It was a terrible place to work, but a new face in town probably didn't have too many other options.
Frowning in concentration, the young person reached for a screwdriver and flipped the camera over so that both parties were now off screen. An ominous shadow splayed out on the ground beyond the gazebo was instead the subject of focus...]
What, is it snack time already? Do you wanna find Keith and see what he's up to? Maybe check out that noodle shop we saw in town for an early dinner?
[At this point, the trainer was obviously taking wild guesses. Each one was shot down with a negative squeak from the Emolga that steadily grew more frantic until a clatter indicated that various tools were being put aside.]
All right, I'll take a look.... [Silence followed, before it was broken with a small exclamation and the warp band was suddenly grabbed post-haste. One final, punctuating cry blasted through the feed before it was finally cut off:]
Why didn't you just tell me that we had company?!
[Action]
[Union, Observe:
One small teenager in green with a backpack full of tinkering tools running down the city streets at top speed.
One even smaller Emolga trailing after the teen, cheeping and chittering anxiously while it leaped from lamp post to lamp post in an attempt keep up with the teen.
One flock of Spearows, consumed by rage, chasing the duo with a fury that not even a drunken Pangoro could match. The reason for their anger: unknown... but it may have something to do with the pair of pokeballs that the teen kept on their person, hidden away from obvious view.
Where the teen's other pokemon was at remained a mystery, although Unionites who were fond of heights might encounter a stray Magnemite exploring the far reaching skyline above the city. It was immensely fascinated by the various lights and signals from the towers and Habitat that it was catching echoing reverberations of in a way that only it could understand.
An early dinner may not be happening that evening, but the day certainly brought with it plenty of adventure.]

Re: [ action ]
[Pidge held her tongue as they hit a bump in the path onto the forest, not wanting to bite off her tongue while her bones rattled from head to toe. Inching closer (as if that was possible), she leaned in toward Haruka's ear.]
Where are we going?
[ action ]
Re: [ action ]
What's that even supposed to mean?
[ action ]
Still, this isn't good. They haven't been able to shake the Spearow fully.
Haruka swerves Brilliance and points her for the Forest Shrine. ]
Re: [ action ]
[ action ]
or at least give her a clearing for a standoff. ]
[ action ]
Besides, she was savvy enough to realize that she couldn't take on a horde of Spearows all by herself.]
[ action ]
At which point Haruka dismounts to block the path they just used.
She looks up at the sky, to see if there are any Spearow there. She can only stand for so long without her crutch - she shouldn't be standing at all; all her weight is on one leg - but she doesn't have to actually be invincible, here. Just project the impression thereof. ] Is there a problem?
[ action ]
Ruffling it's feathers, the apparent leader of the hoodlums peered at Haruka with an irritable clatter of it's beak and flared it's wings to make itself seem bigger than it actually was. Defensive posturing, Pidge recognized. Anyone who paid attention to the pokemon in the wilderness would recognize such behavior. A tense moment passed before the Spearow swung it's gaze at Pidge in an unmistakeable Leer and flew off.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Pidge dismounted and stood beside Haruka. Hold onto her shoulder if you want-- she won't push her luck by suggesting it.
She's just also probably a foot shorter than Haruka. Have fun.]
You didn't need to go so far to help, [She said quietly, seeming somewhat embarrassed.] And it's not like I'm ungrateful, but...
...Why did you do it?
[ action ]
[ Haruka shrugs. Honestly, she herself agrees she probably overdid that - and had better get back to her Rhyhorn before she either pitches over or, heavens forbid, has to support herself on the smol. Back she goes. ] I wasn't doing anything today anyway.
[ action ]
You're right, I did need one. [She said, grinning now to match the mood. If her rescuer wasn't worried, then there was probably no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed about it. Pidge climbed up on the Rhyhorn's back once again and settled herself in, finding a more stable position so she wouldn't need to squish herself against Haruka so much.
It would also give Scout a chance to breathe. The little Emolga had been hiding in her baggy shirt for the entire ride.]
If you've got nothing to do, do you mind showing me some places around the city? I'm interested in whatever the downtown's got to offer.
[She was a city kid at heart. She couldn't help it.]
[ action ]
Also, please note. She dropped the "Pidgey" thing. And people say she never listens.
Here she is aboard the Rhyhorn. Oof. Much better. ] Downtown?
[ action ]
The teasing words earned a short laugh in reply.]
Hey, sometimes 'cheeky' is the only way to get things done!
But yeah, downtown. Only if it's not a bother for you.
[ action ]
Here they head, back to the city. ] Sorry for the detour.
[ action ]
[ action ]
[ In the city. So she doesn't repeat any tours unnecessarily.
Haruka Tenoh does nothing unnecessary. ]
Re: [ action ]
And, while she had seen some of the park, she had only gone there to get some space to work.
...She didn't plan on going back any time soon, either.]
[ action ]
Haruka does not understand this Rhyhorn, but to each their own. ] So it's an adventure.
[ Going places you don't have to go for sleep! Or food! Wow.
Gosh, you're cute. ]
