bestsweater: (SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND)

01 [ACTION]

[There is a giant, living boulder...thing on campus. It's snake-like in appearance and is just kind of milling about, sticking its giant rock nose into bushes, peering into second-story windows, leaving the campus lawn all torn up in its wake. Hey man, you can't be a massive stone-serpent and not leave a some kind of trail. It's around various places all day, and very clearly seems to be giving the place a once-over.

One might easily ignore the young man that accompanies this gargantuan creature (or is it the other way around?) if not for the fact that he is wearing an obnoxious shade of bright orange. Still, it might take you a few moments to notice him, given the sheer size of his rock-like companion. He carries a backpack, and a map which he refers to every so often.

What is most interesting about this duo, perhaps, is the fact that they seem to be actively conversing, albeit in different languages. Occasionally this mysterious arrival hitches a ride on his stony friend along their self-guided tour. It's obvious that they're evaluating the school with a sort of non-verbal running commentary, perhaps looking for a familiar face or two.

[Oh look, a person! Olimar seems a little relieved, and finally approaches the pair.]

Ah, I see! [He looks up at the huuuge freakin' rock snake.] Actually, I'm rather intrigued by it. I have never seen a creature like this before.

[Brock proudly gives Onix a hearty pat. Onix looks very pleased.]

One of the longest Pokemon there is.

[He extends a hand.]

I'm Brock, by the way.

[Oh, it's a Pokemon.]

Well then, there are Pokemon species I am still not aware of. Then again, they are not my specialty...

[He smiles and shakes Brock's hand.]

My name is Olimar. It's nice to meet you, Brock. Tell me, do you come from one of the Pokemon inhabited regions?

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
My pleasure.

I'm from Kanto. This is Onix.

[identity profile] leadthemalong.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes. I have met quite a few people that hail from the Kanto region.

[Olimar, having some kind of connection with plants and animals, decides to act friendlier toward the Pokemon. He waves to it.]

Hello, Onix! [Turns back to Brock.] It's body is very similar to that of boulders. I wonder how an Onix got its sturdy appearance. There are many mysteries on Earth that simply baffle me. I have never been graced with the pretense of such fascinating creatures until I came to this planet.

[He pauses awkwardly.]

Oh, I must be rambling again. I apologize.

This place seems to attract them recently.

[Onix responds with a low grumble.]

No worries. Heh. You sound like a science teacher.

[Olimar smiles and hesitantly ties to pet Onix.]

That's correct. I'm the academy's biology professor. The flora and fauna of this planet intrigues me. You see, I actually come from another planet. Oh... Perhaps that sounds a tad absurd, especially while I'm in this human form.

Smash Academy is populated with a vastly diverse crowd.

Yes, that's right. Is that... difficult to believe?

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...no. There are some Pokemon that supposedly come from other planets.

But did you say...human form?

[identity profile] leadthemalong.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. I am unsure how it works, but the things possible on this planet reminds me of magic. But magic is just science, I suppose. As I mentioned prior, Smash Academy is populated with unique and peculiar individuals. I am not the only one at this school to take on another form.

[He grins, leveling around where his height would be as a Hocotatian.] In reality, I'm approximately only this tall.

[Skeptical Brock is skeptical. He thinks you are maybe messing with him.]

Really.

[Olimar's face and tone should show that he is very serious.]

If you do not believe me, you could always ask others.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
No, no. I'm just a little surprised.

Is space travel uncommon in Kanto?

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much.
