[video] [action Route 33]

[imthe_shit]

[Anyone who's on Route 33 might hear a low rumbling sound coming from Union Cave... before suddenly...

BAM! An Onix bursts out of the entrance, with a trainer holding onto its back. That trainer is... rather old, but he looks pretty flexible to be able to hold on like that... It's Old Snake! Despite the dangerous ride, he's looking pretty smug about his catch. He flips on the video of his Pokegear.]

Kept you waiting, huh?

[ For video-viewers, they'd be able to see trees passing at a fast rate, and Snake's very rare smile. Aw yeah. He chuckles. ]

I caught a big one. Solid, say hello.

[ The next five seconds are filled with a loud bellow from the ONIX that Snake is riding on. Snake winces a bit at the bellow, but overall, he looks pretty satisfied. ]

At this rate, Azalea shouldn't be too far off. Keep it coming, Solid, you can rest all you want when we get there.

Any progress on your end?

[justicereigns]

Che. Not really. Fucking snail's pace. Any slower and we'd be sliding backwards constantly. At least we are moving forward. More or less.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

That bad, huh?

[justicereigns]

Yes. It's hard to keep track of the brats sometimes.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

You mean your Pokemon?

[justicereigns]

No. The pirates. Lost two a while back. Then Kazooie. Now the chef's got a girlfriend and the Monkey and Scholar keep running off.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Sounds rough.

[justicereigns]

Could be worse, but it does make things slow going.

You seem to be doing well charging ahead at least.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I might go back and beat that Falkner guy at some point.

[justicereigns]

You haven't yet?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Nno.

[justicereigns]

Huh. That's actually what took us so long. Everyone wanted to give him their best shot.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Fighting an enemy when you don't even have the right equipment is just asking to have your ass kicked. I'll go back when I feel ready to take him on.

[justicereigns]

It's a wise decision. Sometimes I think it might have been better to charge ahead and come back, but I think I agree with the rest of the brats that going back is an only an option to rescue friends.

I guess it's a Grand Line habit.
