03 - Video | Action
[ Video ]
[ When Ash turns on his video in the morning to show him and his buddy Pikachu perched on his shoulder he looks... tired. It takes a sound from Pikachu in order to even realize that his journal was already on and that he had been staring blankly into the screen. With the small realization he pulls together a smile and gets down to talking. ]
Uh... Hi. I'm Ash and this is my buddy Pikachu.
[ He's calm. Perhaps a bit too calm to people who knows him when he speaks. If it isn't noticeable right then and there it will be when he started talking again because while there is some enthusiasm it's nothing like what it normally is. ]
So Friendship and Rival Day is comin' up on June 28th and I wanted t' have a party to celebrate. Some people gave me ideas like battles, movies, video games, and other kind o' things that people can do with old friends and new friends. There's gonna be a lot of food there too.
But thing is my friends Cilan and Chili can't make all the food on their own. I was wonderin' if people could make or bring food and drinks to Friendship and Rival Day. Maybe some other things like more video games or other kinds o' games t' play. Or anythin' else we might need for it.
Also, I'm wonderin' where would be th' best place for it. Someone said th' Battledome would be a good place. Is that okay or does anyone have a better place in mind. If there isn't and the Battledome isn't ok I think it could happen at th' house I'm stayin' at.
If y' have any questions or somethin' I wanna hear 'em. I'll also be 'round Luceti checkin' some things out so y' can always come talk t' me too.
[ He pushes a bigger smile and a little more enthusiasm into this last bit. ]
Let's make this a great first Friendship and Rival Day! I look forward to it!
[ Action ]
[ Although Ash should probably still be resting he can be found in several places around Luceti with, of course, Pikachu. Most notably he'll be checking things out at the Battledome and also going to several of the places to eat such as Seventh Heaven and the Bakery. He can also be found at the fountain resting or maybe trying to figure out what to do next and can't forget any stores that would have things for parties.
And lastly he can also be found back at House 11. Either in the Kitchen eating food, in his room doing well.. whatever probably letting his true feelings out, or just lying around the house because he knows that, as much as he would like to get back to training, doing so would probably result in certain people coming out and telling him to stop because Ash no your body and mind are not ready for this yet you shouldn't even really be out wandering Luceti all day. ]

[ Huuuuuh. Well he doesn't quite understand that but okay he'll go with it. And he'll also focus on watching Sokka's boomeranging skills in action, nodding his head as Sokka asked if he saw the smokestack.
And it's totally okay that you bring your boomerang everywhere Sokka. Ash brings his Pokedex everywhere!
Watching the boomerang in action is really cool though. He's seen them in action before (or something similar) but wow that was some skill there. ]
Woaah. That was really cool! How long have y' been able t' do things like that?
[Action]
For a few years now. Dad gave me this beauty what... [He starts counting on his fingers: one, two, three, four...] four or five years ago? I would practice every day with this for a long while. It took a few months before I could pull shots like that.
Oh and yeah, it's Ikki. Aang's grandchild from the future.
[Action]
[ Have Pikachu here agreeing with his trainer's words because yes, it was impressive to him as well! ]
Oh. So someone from your future too?
[ Actually didn't Aang mention something about his granddaughter when they first met.... ]
[Action]
Well, Ash, lots of practice and hard work is how you get good at something.]It certainly feels like it's been a while. Five years ago seems like a long time after all I've been through. [I mean, seriously, the last three years have been quite the adventure.]
Well, yeah. Why not? [Because the sole purpose of the bending of their timeline is to destroy Sokka's sense of reality.] There was supposed to be someone else here from the future, buuuut I never heard from him. Who knows if he's still here. [He shrugs.]
[Sokka... the protector of all secrets!]
Anyway, still... you've got some impressive... pe--Pokémon there. I'll admit, they're quite the impressive lot. Even your Snivy. [Okay, there's a little sarcasm there. Not helping, Sokka.] So I take it you have your broken Poké Ball there?
[Action]
[ Shh shh he's still a lot better than when he first started his journey ]Mm, yeah. I think I know what you mean. [ Considering he hasn't aged at all since he started that journey forever ago? YEP ]
Well, it's kinda strange when y' think 'bout it, but that's all. [ Shrugging as well.
And then a small frown as Snivy clearly looks offended again. ]
Y' really shouldn't underestimate Snivy like that. [ But before he can continue-- ] -- Oh yeah. Here it is. [ He takes out the Pokeball half and show it to Sokka. Clearly one half of a Pokeball right here yep. ]
[Action]
Sokka takes the Poké ball and holds it closely, inspecting it with a deep focus for a few moments.]
Well, yeah, I can see why it doesn't work, obviously. Though it looks like it's made of just ordinary metal... but... not metal. It's definitely... something that I haven't seen before.
[Action]
Ash nods his head. ]
I dunno how much it can tell you 'bout how Pokeballs works but maybe it'll help a little. I can tell ya a few things too 'bout what they can and can't do.
[ 'Cause maybe that'll help as well? ]
[Action]
Alright.
Other than keeping your critters inside these things, what else do they do?
[Action]
[Action]
Okay, okay, let me make sure I've got all this.
[Sokka clears his throat to lay all this out much more elegantly.]
Pokémon are either wild or owned by a trainer, and the only differentiating factor is that trained Pokémon are associated with a very particular Poké Ball. Something about that pairing process must change the Pokémon so that other Poké Balls can't capture them... or even hold a creature that doesn't belong to it. But if you destroy that Poké Ball, the guy it's associated to immediately becomes wild again.
[He ponders a bit more about this.]
So how do these transfer machines work? And... you honestly can't have more than six Pokémon on you at one time? No one's figured out a way to get around that?
[Because if Sokka were in Pokémon World, that's what he'd be trying to do!]
[Action]
[ He gaze moved from Sokka to Snivy and Charizard as he says that, lingering for a minute before focusing on Sokka again. ]
Ya just put the Pokeball in a device and it teleports to the device you're transferring it to. And ya can't use more than six Pokemon at a time during official battles, like gym battles. But I mean, if you're runnin' some kinda farm you can have more than six Pokemon on the farm. And I guess you can have more than six Pokemon if they don't have Pokeballs or if they're not actually your Pokemon.
[Action]
Still, it's pretty clear there's something that binds each Pokémon to a Poké Ball. Something that uniquely marks a Pokémon so that it can only go in a specific Poké Ball.
If I can figure out exactly how the Ball tags each Pokémon, then that should tell me about how they're powered. And maybe, if I get that far, I can figure out a way to restore power to that one broken one.
[That's a lot of ifs, he realizes. Still, he sees a clear path to his goal—making it one step less likely that the trainers—the entire lot of them—have one less thing to worry about.]
[Action]
[Action]
[Sokka doesn't know how they're even made yet.]
But that one girl's broken one. That's the one that might still be fixable.
[Besides, that's the important one anyway.]
[Action]
[ He then nods a little in understanding. ]
Right. Maybe it can help...
[ If he sounds a little awkward here it's because while he has heard what happened it has definitely not been something he's thought about because wow it's just not something he can really handle. ]
[Action]
Well, I'll definitely let you know if I come up with anything. And I'll make sure to get this back to you before too awful long. Otherwise, I suppose it's good to meet you?
[Also, it's good to meet Snivy. Even if
heshe doesn't feel the same.][Action]
'Kay. Yeah, it was too ta meet you too. Good luck on figurin' things out.
[ Pikachu shares the sentiment as Ash while Charizard and Snivy just stay silent because Charizard isn't really paying attention and Snivy needs to warm up to you a iy more to even consider. ]
