It's amazing how the days can sometimes just fly by, can't they?

[ Hello everyone. Joshua is very much appreciating this warm January weather, and addresses the camera from... well, somewhere with water behind him, but more importantly he is not bundled up in a coat. He appreciates this. Having to wear coats for warmth instead of fashion is a terrible thing. ]

I was about to train some of my team today when I realized I don't actually have any left to train. [ There's a soft yelp from off screen, and Joshua rolls his eyes and continues on. ] Which brings me right to the point: does anyone have any suggestions for new Pokemon? Perhaps your favorite, or one that you appreciate having around, or one that's proven itself useful. Feel free to suggest one for any reason you want. I suspect it's well past the time when I should start collecting a few more.

And please include any necessary warnings with your suggestions, won't you?
usedfeatherdance: (Am I supposed to be impressed?)
[ Sup Pokemon trainers, this is a bit of an SOS. ]

If anyone could inform me of a place matching the following description, it would be appreciated:
- Cave
- Exceedingly cold and dark
- Inhabited by at least the following: Zubat, Golbat, Seel, Dewgong(?), Shellder, Cloyster, Horsea, Seadra, Marril, Spheal, Woobat, Piplup, Prinplup, Dragonair(?), Absol(?)
- Probably in Kanto

Additionally, directions for EXITING said cave would be wonderful. Not only is spelunking not my thing, I haven't recently stocked up for a long journey.

I've blacked out for a few days before, but this is the first time that I woke up somewhere drastically different. I see why some of you complain about it.
usedfeatherdance: (Don't you wish your girlfriend...)
[ The video clicks on to a view of the ceiling in one of the rooms of the Blackthorn Inn. The fan is slowly circling, and the only other thing visible in the frame is an arm reaching straight up from slightly off screen, holding up a Rising Badge. ]

We've already figured out that collecting a whole set of badges doesn't actually get you anything of value, right? Or did that finally change while I wasn't looking?

[ Joshua sighs, and the arm lowers out of the feed. There's the sound of it hitting the bed, and the camera shakes just the slightest. ]

You'd think that after I spent this long collecting them, I'd feel prouder at finally winning the last one. Mmm, perhaps this isn't really for me after all.

[ After a pause, he giggles. Then he rolls over and leans over the Gear, his face finally entering the camera's view. ]

How about this? Tell me about the worst thing that happened to you at home that you're still willing to talk about. Even if it doesn't seem to compare to what others have been through. Tragedy is quite relative, after all.
usedfeatherdance: (Am I supposed to be impressed?)
[ Not that Joshua had really expected a cave named "Ice Path" to be any different, but after having been out in the nice June sun for a while and with summer approaching, he hadn't exactly been ready for it to be ] Freezing.

[ He mutters it under his breath as he turns the video on. As enjoyable a training exercise as this was, Joshua is very much wishing he had a third fire type. He wasn't about to bring his second and have it suck his life energy dry to keep him warm for a day. ]

If any of you are finding it a bit too warm outside, I have a wonderful suggestion for you.

[ The video shows Joshua bundled up in a winter coat, surrounded by a sea of purple fur, though it's hard to make out exactly what's the source of that fur from the angle of the video. His face is flushed with cold and he looks distinctly unamused. ]

In the interest of distracting me from my own fun, what would you do to keep cool in the heat? Here is fine, but I'm curious about back in your own worlds in particular.
usedfeatherdance: (Not sure if want)
... This has happened before, hasn't it?

[ Sup Route. Joshua is broadcasting from the top of some random building in Goldenrod. Not visible is the fact that he's standing right on the edge of said building, with a multi-story plunge awaiting a slightly-displaced center of gravity... yet for some reason, he's not exactly worried. ]

Has anyone else had their Pokemon change color on them?

[ He turns the camera to show the roof behind him, and sure enough, his Absol has turned shiny and is now white and red instead of his normal white and black.

Actually Joshua's entire team seems to be shiny swapped, but Absol is the one with Joshua at the moment, not to say he can't be found with his others elsewhere around Goldenrod. ]
usedfeatherdance: (Am I supposed to be impressed?)
[ The feed turns on to show Joshua lying on a bed at the Goldenrod Inn. An Espeon and a Glaceon are tussling in the background next to him on the bed. ]

Say you're accompanying a friend who's collecting the badges. Unfortunately, this friend is a little slow on the uptake, so you find yourself waiting for them to finish training for the gym for on the order of weeks... per gym.

[ He rolls over on his back, temporarily removing the two Eevees from the video. ]

How do you keep yourself entertained when these places are so small and you've already visited them all before?
usedfeatherdance: (Not sure if want)
[ That brilliant plan to stay off the network had been working really well for Joshua. At least until one afternoon of training his Vulpix took Joshua away from his Espeon and Luxray just long enough for him to come back to a batch of eggs. So it's time to break the silence and let a certain someone at least know he's out there.

Dammit you two, why can't you keep your affections to yourselves.

Oh, well. Better him first than Neku, in a way. ]


I have a few Shinx eggs I'm looking to sell off for... oh, let's say a thousand each. I also still have one from the previous batch I'll give away for 25% off. Both parents have grown since then, so that one probably won't start with as many moves as the full-priced eggs.

Out of curiosity, can Pokemon be spayed or neutered?
usedfeatherdance: (Bad Sho. No biscuit.)
[ CLATTER CLATTER. That's the sound of the Gear turning on as it falls to the ground, briefly catching a glimpse of Joshua before he's pushed out of view by a large, white shape. It only takes a second before the white fades into a Lapras. The Pokemon makes a soft cooing noise as it looks around, then it's gaze seems to settle on something. A few seconds later, an Absol walks into view of the camera and gives the Lapras a small nudge. It makes another noise then starts moving awkwardly, leaving the view of the camera in the process. There's several more seconds of shuffling noises, then a very dirty and very frustrated Joshua pulls himself upright and grabs the Gear, glaring at the Absol. ]

You ran out from under me.

[ And with that he turns off the feed.

A few minutes later, he turns it back on and appends the following: ]


I would have thought two hundred and twenty kilograms would have felt a lot heavier. Regardless, as I'm sure you're all so very worried about me, I think I'm fine.

If there's a lesson to learn here, it's is to beware what eggs you're carrying and how. Not that I wasn't aware that nature ignores all logic here, but that was still a bit more than I was expecting.
usedfeatherdance: (I solemnly swear I am up to no good)
[ When the video turns on, a blue Gardevoir's face is taking up half of the picture. She looks at the Gear curiously and rotates it a bit, then a voice can be heard from off screen. ]

Is it on now? Point it this way.

[ She looks up and after a moment the camera swings around to show Joshua sitting on a bed, hair and clothes messy as if he just woke up but otherwise cheerful enough. He waves at the camera. ]

Hee hee, hello everyone. Feels like I've been asleep forever. I don't suppose anyone else who caught that plague a while back is still suffering for it? This [ and he reaches up to twist that little curl of now-purple hair ] certainly hasn't gone away yet.

More importantly, it seems I'm still having some trouble handling my PokeGear. For the meantime, Gardevoir will have to be my cameraman. She doesn't quite know what she's doing yet. This is her learning experience. [ There's a soft "Gaaar..." of protest, but Joshua simply giggles, focusing off-camera for a moment. ] Unfortunately, you're the only one I have with hands.

Ah, yes. In the interest of discussion, how about telling me about something or someone that was important to you back home that you don't have here. I'm curious.

... You can turn it off now.

[ There's a sudden flurry of movement as Gardevoir puts the Gear down and leans over it, trying to figure out what to do. After a couple seconds Joshua's hair can be seen peeking into the frame. ]

That one. The one you used to start it.

[ Then the video ends. ]


(( OOC: so Gardevoir is going to be making mistakes here and there all over the replies. If you'd rather not have mistakes in your thread, just let me know. ))
