19th roar [ video + action for Olivine ]

[adamant]

[ The feed opens on Olivine beach. Judging from the bobbing, it's being held by a pokémon, one that doesn't have arms to stabilize it. A metal grating sound—Skarmory, then.

The camera flicks up suddenly, sliding across a long stretch of sand to...Leon. Leon surrounded on all sides by his team. Lucky behind him, her head in his back. Strike and Scizor in front, pulling him by the arms. In the water, Flood waits, making soft mournful noises, tentacles reaching for his trainer. Leon, for his part, has both feet planted firmly in the sand and is not moving.

Not.

Moving.

An inch.

They push, they pull, he doesn't budge. His expression is one of rock-solid concentration. He tries to shake them off, but they're stronger than he is, and he goes back to putting his energy into doing his statue imitation.

It looks for all the world like they're trying to feed him to his own Tentacruel.

Skarmory chirrs in amusement, then quickly drops the 'gear to go join the fun. ]

[Careful, Leon. There's a Lucario bounding down the beach and barking while he tries to find something to grab onto to push or pull. Gotta help Strike, you know? That's just what Sen's gonna do, like it or not! ...As soon as he stops with the bouncing around, anyway.

But if he's here, then where's his trainer? Well, she's taking her time to come down the beach, smirking when she gets close enough to see what's really going on.]

Need a hand with them?

[ He glances over at her, face still scrunched up in concentration. ]

I'm fine.

[ Because you sure look fine, Leon. ]

[action]

[soggypastry]

[Nope, sorry. Not believing a word of that, no matter how much he probably wants her to.]

You sure about that? You don't seem fine from where I'm standing.

[Even for him, he's standing far too rigidly for this to be his normal stubborn side. What's going on?.]

[Today, Minnie is out with Daisy the Magmar. When she comes on this scene, both she and Daisy tilt their heads in confusion.]

Leon?

[adamant]

Please don't worry, Minnie. I've got it under control.

[ Except not. ]

They seem to want your attention.

[putting that very lightly.]

[Lalala. Walking up to the water as easy as you please. Drops his small knapsack and puts his shoes right beside it. And here comes his uberhuge Blastoise too, stomping right into the water and creating a huge mess of things, but Hope doesn't mind. In fact, he's running right into the water and making a jump for one of Alexander's cannons.

Hi, Leon.]

action; |D

[adamant]

[ Watching Hope. Glaring. Vaguely jealous. Looking more and more uncomfortable as he's dragged towards the water. ]

action; you made me do it

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

[Currently curled round that cannon like a limpet. He's gonna be moving to the shell soon... If only Alexander would stop throwing Leon mocking looks.]

[He can't help but watch in silent amusement for awhile as they try and drag Leon into the water. Don't worry, Leon, your bro has your back... in about five minutes.]

You never told them, did you?

[Action]

[adamant]

[ The pokemon pause at Cloud's voice, then turn to Boss. Told them what? Leon just...shakes his head. ]

I have actually heard that meditation is best practiced somewhere quiet with minimal distractions.

[Audio]

[adamant]

[ The pokemon let go so that Leon can retrieve his pokegear! He sounds annoyed. ]

Wasn't meditating.

[video]

[combat_butler]

DON'T LET HIM GET YOU!!!!

[video]

[adamant]

[ The noise from the pokegear, left abandoned in the sand, is enough for the pokemon to break away so that Leon can get the 'gear back. He looks none too worse for wear, and Skarmory chirps in recognition at seeing Hayate. ]

Flood just wants to test out his new moves.

[unzodiacal.livejournal.com]

Are they trying to feed you to that thing?!

[adamant]

They just want to play.

[ Looking hale and healthy when he picks up the gear, at least. ]

... Human sacrifice? [He says cautiously, just in case he's mistaken. IT SURE LOOKS THAT WAY.]

[adamant]

[ Skarmory goes to retrieve the 'gear for her boss, giving Ted a pleased chirp! Hi, guy! ]

...feels like it, but no.

[action]

[paladinlost]

[My my, it looks like help is needed here!

Which is why there is now a Milotic by Lucky's side, pushing Leon with her own head. He trainer is too busy telling a Luxray not to electrocute innocent Krabbies to stop her, sorry!]

[action]

[adamant]

[ .........UNHELPFUL, NOT!DAD. ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... I'm guessing this isn't the most reluctant hug ever.

[video]

[adamant]

[ At least the need to talk on the 'gear has made the pokemon disperse a bit? ]

You'd guess right.

[Well, it looks like Leon's team sure is busy.

Riku was just passing by, really, by he stops for a moment to stare. Flare's with him, as are his Aggron, Scizor, Garchomp, Weavile, and Jaws.

...well. Jaws was, until he stomped over to the Pokémob to see what's up!]

action

[adamant]

[ Lucky gives Jaws a pleased yip. Hey, Jaws! We're helping Flood get Boss to play with him. It's fun!

...Leon doesn't seem to think so. ]
