The 2nd Roar | Video / Action for Route 31
[A good two weeks after first arriving in the world of Pokémon and Kovu no longer needs to chew on his PokéGear in order to get it to work. Of course, he's not the greatest cinematographer in the world, but...having only been human for a couple of weeks, a little sloppiness with his camera work can be forgiven...
[One thing that will look familiar is his facial expression, largely irritated and mildly confused.
[He lets out a huff.]
Is anyone missing one of these things?
[He asks, turning his Gear- not without some difficulty- toward the ground, where a rather smug-looking shinx is lying on its back and swatting at the camera with both paws.
[The feed goes back to Kovu just in time to catch an eyeroll.]
It started following me and Skitty around yesterday and now it won't leave us alone.
[Judging by her indignant meowing in the background, he's really the only one who seems to mind...
[Shooting her a look.]
And she won't attack it.
[Sigh.]
I thought you had to catch these things to get them.

What're you laughing at?!
no subject
Like I was sayin', I don't think you have any say in it.
Ah, sorry. OCD editting. ;;
Great.
[Grumbling to himself.]
No say. I'm supposed to be the trainer here. Stupid...cub...
SHH ITS OKAY
Well, looks like you got two options. Catch it and give it away if it annoys you so much...or run.
Uh oh, another chain. 1/3 (I think)
[Whoops, more background meowing. It's sounding a little horrified this time.
[Aaand...he's back to growling.]
Grrr...What do you suggest I do, then?!
2/4 actually...
Wait-- What?
No, don't cry! I didn't mean to--
[Why does this thing cry so much he has never met a sorrier excuse for a cub but he can't stand making her so upset and what is even supposed to do about this--]
3/4
What? What do you want me to do? Do you want him to stay? I--
[Hopeful m-m-meowing?]
You want him to stay. You actually want him to--
4/4 Sorry, this thread kind of turned into a Kovu/Skitty thing, I didn't mean to fjalfjasdfj
[Sigh.]
Fine.
[Victory meows! And suddenly Skitty's made her way into the frame, up on her master's shoulder, nuzzling the crap out of his face.]
Will you get off of me.
[He grumbles, but not without a few ear scritches for his friend.
[Still, he looks none-too-pleased when he turns back to Ralph.]
[If you dare start laughing at him again...]
no subject
Instead of fighting, have you asked...er...blue cat thing if it would just jump into the ball? Couldn't hurt to ask.
no subject
I...guess not...
[Twisting his lips to the side as he considers the idea. If he really is going to be keeping this thing, it's not a bad one...
[He sets his PokeGear down on the ground for a moment, giving Ralph a rather pleasant view of the canoodling kittens while he digs around in his bag for a Pokéball.
[He comes back into frame a few seconds later, holding the object out toward the Shinx and, somewhat reluctantly, inviting him to join his party.]
If you promise not to attack me like that again...I guess you could...tag along for a while.
[Not the friendliest invitation, but, after a bit more prompting...]
What do you say?
[The Pokémon breaks away from its new lady friend, taking a step closer toward the Pokéball. The object clicks open, and in a flash, he's gone, locked away safely within.]
Huh...
What do you know.
[There you go, Kovu. A little smile.
[He doesn't keep the Shinx away for long, of course, releasing it from its Pokéball only a few moments later. He's really not very keen on the idea of trapping/controlling fellow animals...The only reason he battles with them at all is because they seem to enjoy it. He never keeps them in their Pokéballs for very long if he can help it.]
no subject
Was that so hard? You're welcome, by the way.
no subject
Well, I wasn't planning on keeping him before.
no subject
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
no subject
[Sounds intense. It does remind him that Pokédexes exist though. He doesn't really use his all that often, still mildly freaked out by its ability to predict how a Pokémon will look when it gets older, not to mention all of the information it somehow has on them...
[Still, he can't deny its usefulness...He'll have to remember to pull his out later when there's no one around to watch him fail miserably at trying to work it...]
no subject
[The cranky yellow armadillo turns her back to the side of his head and folds her short arms.]
no subject
[Uh oh, Kovu. You're smiling again. Keep doing that and people are going to stop thinking you're a huge douche all the time.]
Bossy...
Is that your name for her?
[That even earns a laugh!]
no subject
no subject
Maybe I should call this one "Crybaby".
[Have a very offended meow, Mister!]
Oh, calm down.
no subject
no subject
[More offended meows, this time accompanied by some deeper, defensive ones.]
Err...
He...might...
[Don't go pissing off protective boyfriends, now. You know how much trouble those can be...]
