4th roar [video + action for anyone anywhere apparently ]

[adamant]

[ The camera feed opens to reveal...Jigglypuffs.



Yes indeedy, all of Leon's team have been ~*~magically~*~ transformed into Jigglypuffs. The first one opens its mouth, cawing like a Skarmory. The second one rumbles out in an Onix's deep bass. The third just kind of...rolls there, making wet noises. And the fourth looks positively horrified, making distressed Scyther shrieks. Yes, even Green. Sorry, Zack! ]

Someone had better have a good explanation for this.

[ He listens to her, expression darkening slightly. It's easy to say that 'things happen for a reason', and it's the kind of line he'd expect from Aerith or Sora. But hundreds of people lost their lives that day, and he's not inclined to make light of it by saying that it all happened for a reason.

Violence, he's learned, is often senseless.

Of course, he knows that Rinoa doesn't know any of this, so he'll just nod. He's interested, though--to know her story. To see if that kid really did avoid his mistakes. ]

Maybe. Or maybe all I've been doing means nothing. There's really no way of knowing. [ When she nudges him, he uncrosses his arms, lifting his eyes to meet hers. ]

[When she meets his gaze her smile grows a bit and she tucks her hair behind her ear.]

I'm sure it means something, even if only a little. You give people courage!

[She reaches up to finger the rings on her necklace. Squall had always given her courage, and she was sure Leon was the same. They were different people with the same core.

After a moment she tilts her head back looking at the sky.]

This place is strange. I can't feel my power here.

[ She's seventeen, he reminds himself. Still, he can't help noticing that she's as beautiful as he remembers. ]

I give people courage...? [ He shakes his head. ] No. I just fight, and try not to mess up.

[ It was mostly the truth; Leon had never really asked for a leadership position, he just couldn't bear to sit around while the Heartless continued their relentless onslaught. The rest of the Resistance had just gravitated to him. ]

No one has their powers here. No magic, no weapons, nothing. Only these creatures. [ He motions to Swablu. ]

[She laughs at his answer. Even in ten years, from a different world he's still predictable. Quistis would be glad to know.]

You're a natural Leon. In a sense, aren't we all just trying not to mess up?

Especially here. It's strange not being able to feel the magic. Or even having my weapon. Or my dog. I named this little guy here after my dog Angelo.

[She reaches out to pet the Swablu who's been a good boy this whole time by not bothering the humans that were oh-so-serious.]

[ He frowns. What are you laughing about, you silly girl? ]

You're telling me...though I think I might be getting used to this whole pokemon thing.

[ Not having the Revolver on him is like being naked, pretty much. Skarmopuff is going to take this opportunity to come up and meet Swablu. Hello, pretty blue bird! ]

It is rare that I see you, or well... Squall without his gunblade. But I don't know, I could see him with a cute little creature following him around. He'd probably find it troublesome though, wouldn't he?

What kind of 'cute little creature' do you have?

[As if in answer the "Jigglypuff" appears to greet Angelo. Hello, pink puff ball! Swablu senses something slightly off with you, you don't quite sound like a Jigglypuff.]

Oh! [Rinoa laughs again and attempts to scoop the Scarmopuff up in her arms.] Is this your's Leon?

[The look she's giving him is mischievous.]

[action]

[adamant]

He does, on both counts. [ Squall has a Cyndaquil, which by Leon's estimates would fall rather on the 'cute' side of things, and he knows for a fact that Squall has ditched his partner before, since Hope gave him trouble for it when they first met. In response to her second question, he pulls out his pokegear. ]

Normally, she's--[ he motions to Skarmopuff ]--this.

[ He shows Rinoa the picture of Skarmory on the pokedex, and Skarmopuff confirms this by letting out an ear-piercing shriek. That, little blue friend, is because she ain't no Jigglypuff at all! ]
