thebelsareinert | Fourth Day - Video/Action/Text

Is it me, or are these bugs starting to get tired? They don't seem as angry as they were on the first day of all this.

[As if to prove his point, Hiro's Larvitar - which was having trouble taking out the things en masse a few days prior - now attacks a pair at once and takes them out no problem.]

They're still mad, but I think it's getting close to an end. I've actually been able to try catching a few of them now. Lucky me, this nose thing found me earlier and decided to team up with me. Pretty cool of it actually.

[Hiro shifts the camera to his newest team member, the stray Nosepass that he discovered after its master, Don Paolo, vanished mysteriously from Johto. The Nosepass goes to take out some more bugs, and Hiro turns back to the screen.]

By the way... Anyone else read what the thing says about Paras? Hold on a second--

[After hitting some buttons, during the gd video, some text scrolls over the screen. Thank you being BFFs with a super hacker.]

Paras has parasitic mushrooms growing on its back called tochukaso. They grow large by drawing nutrients from this Bug Pokémon host. They are highly valued as a medicine for extending life. It is doused with mushroom spores when it is born. As its body grows, mushrooms sprout from its back.

Pretty cool, huh? [... and sort of cruel and demented. feel free to call him on that.] Couldn't help myself to a few more of them after reading that.

Do you see anything you like? I saved my last ball for you.

I'm in Violet now. When will it be possible to get that Torchic egg?

"God" is "God". I bet He's up there now, laughing at me for not being able to stop Him...

[there's a silence. even the lickitung behind kyoko seems to have stopped attacking the bugs behind her.

she opens her mouth to say something... then shuts it, quietly. the second attempt:]

You're wrong. [she stops.] That's not something you can just say, you know? It's... not all the same for us.

... It is how it is.

[he shakes his head] I can't say what you've experienced, but unless you know some really nice angel of His that I don't, I think I can say for sure here.

... I'll say my things, and you say yours.

[she can gather that much. but there's no way in hell she's abandoning something she's believed in for all those years. there was no way in hell she was changing her mind on something she was unsure yet sure about, just because hiroto said something like that.

it was beyond weird, what he went through... and she could get that. but she couldn't accept that.]

-- But there's no way I'm gonna accept them. [that's over, hiroto.]

...

Fine. [a nod] I won't make you accept it. But if a time ever comes where you're faced with something hard... don't just blindly believe in something like a "God" without thinking about it.

Please.

[she thinks about that quietly. faced with something hard? hasn't that already happened? far too many times.]

Tch! A little too late for that. [she believed in god then, yeah. but there's no way that was blind belief. it wasn't.]

I know what I'm doing, and who my enemies are.

... Yeah, I guess you do.

[He nods.]

Sorry if I spoke out of place.

Heh... You don't need to say anything.

[because he said it, and she didn't believe him. it was as simple as that.]

It's not like it hurt me, anyway. [they're just words.]

... I guess I don't.

[he nods]

Forget it then.

. . .

Forget what?

Exactly.

Heh.

You're kinda weird, y'know that?

You think so?

Wouldn't say it if I didn't.

I know.

How do you think I am? Weird, I mean.

Dunno.

Just one of those feelings, I guess. [and the whole talk, combined with the fact he seems relatively stable. that's another thing.]

You get those a lot?

... Kinda.

[but she doesn't hang around a lot of people, so...]

You sounded pretty sure of yourself a minute ago.

Still am. You seem like a pretty weird guy, and I'm not gonna say otherwise.

Then we're at a stalemate for now.

What else is new?

I could think of a few things.

Heh...

Gonna share with the class or what?

That'll be your homework.
