bestsweater: (SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND)
Brock ([personal profile] bestsweater) wrote2010-02-11 07:40 pm

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 gosh that's almost adorable.]

Haha, he's cute.

::Suddenly as he's nibbling your hand a torrent of water comes shooting out, getting the arm of your orange sweater all wet with Slowpoke water::

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
SLOWPOKE KNOCK IT OFF.

::Max pulls Slowpoke away from Brock's now wet hand::

::SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWPOOOOOOOOOOOOKE::

I DON'T CARE IF HE'S WEAK AGAINST WATER, THAT AIN'T FUNNY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

::SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW::

NO, IT AIN'T.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh God ALL WET.]

It's...it's okay, really, I--

Wait. Do you know what he's saying?

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
In a roundabout sorta way yeah. I can tell what he means.

You know he don't usually say that much, I'm sorta surprised.

What's he mean when he says when you're weak against water?

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, roundabout like "I can sort of infer what he's saying", or roundabout like "I can actually understand his language".

...Type advantages.

Rock is weak against water, water is weak against electricity, electricity is weak against rock. It's like rock-paper-scissors.

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh. Sorta the first one. Like I know he's sayin' what he's sayin' but I don't know the specific words. Not now anyway.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm.

Is it like this for all Pokemon or just your Slowpoke?

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It works on Char and Bulba and Blastoise and Bob, but Bob talks to you in your head so I guess that probably don't count.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
((DEAR CHRIS. I have made a derp. Let us pretend that few comments above Brock said that electricity is weak to GROUND. This is what I get for writing half asleep tags.))

Bob?

I will never forget -or- forgive you, you have failed me forever.

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... she's some sorta giant pokemon who looks like... a really big... white... horse... llama... deer... thing... with yellow... circle-pointy-golden-bolt things... on her back...

::Man he's trying so hard::

And she's really old. Only she likes the 80s. And muffins.

And she was married to Olaf for awhile, I guess. That was weird.

nnnnnoooooooo

[Brock is not really getting it.]

You'll have to uh. Introduce me to her.

>:[

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah okay I can do that probably.

I bet I can understand your Onix.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Brock gives Onix a look, and the Pokemon, in turn, lets out a low growl that probably equivocates to "ok sure go for it big shot".]

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, my name's Max. That's pretty close, though.

Uhh... Onix. Tell me somethin' about Brock I shouldn't know. Like. I dunno. How much can he bench or somethin'. Wait maybe you don't know that. How about, uh, where'd he meet you first?

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Onix grumbles something that equates to "at the gym, where else?"]

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh well, lotsa places. I met Slowpoke at aquarium-jail-place. Other guys tell me that where you're from there's a bunch of pokemon runnin' around outside that people catch in those little ball things.

So at the gym? Then did somebody... give you to him? I guess Bulba said that when a pokemon trainer starts out that somebody gives them a pokedex thing and a pokemon. And that one guy who used to be here, uhhhh.... Oak. Oak gave Bulba to Green.

So did that Oak guy give you to Brock?

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh wow. Maybe he is the Pokemon whisperer. Brock is perhaps a tiny bit bewildered, while Onix keeps right on going.

Not Oak. Brock's dad.]

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Then were you his dad's pokemon? Did his dad work at the gym?

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[His dad was the gym leader before he was. comes the gruff reply.

Brock is stunned.]

Are you...word for word?

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh that's neat. My dad was in the army before I signed up, too. So did Brock's dad, uh... catch you in the wild and give you to Brock or did he, I guess, buy you from a... onix... place?

::Max turns to Brock::

Not. Quite. It's more like. I can feel what he's sayin' to me than I know just what ONIX ONONIX IX means. 'Cause me sayin' that means nothin' to me. I probably just told him he's got an ugly mug or somethin'. It just felt like he was talkin' about me bein' a tough guy or big shot or somethin' then it felt like he said he met you at the gym and then that your dad used to run the place. That sorta thing.

::Max turns back to Onix:: I don't think you got an ugly mug.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
That's...that's incredibly interesting.

[Brock is maybe studying you now. Onix is still talking.

There are no Onix...places, we live in caves. I was caught in Mt. Moon at a low level and given to Brock.

And don't worry. I knew you were just making an example.

[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh alright. You're a lot more chatty than Slowpoke.

Do you like bein' Brock's pokemon instead of livin' in a cave? If I ask Slowpoke why he keep's comin' back he tells me I'm warm.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He is a Slowpoke.

And yes.


Meanwhile, Brock is GOING CRAZY. Sure, he and Onix have manly bonded over the years and more or less understand each other but this conversation seems VERY SPECIFIC.]



[identity profile] tank-rockarms.livejournal.com 2010-02-13 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, that's good to hear. Every pokemon I ever talked to really likes their trainer a lot. Even if they ain't a real trainer. It's sorta strange. But I guess workin' together and gettin' stronger makes you respect each other.

::A strange look crosses Max's face::

Hey, how much do you weigh?
