9th Struggle | [Action/Video] | Back Dated [2/13] | What had happened was...


[Action]

Work, work, work… was that all Yukio ever did? They were in Johto – scratch that, they were in Goldenrod City! There were way more things to do than sit back and look at formulas or poking berries, like Yukio. Sure, it was one thing for Rin to work with new ideas for Pokemon food – it was food, (duh) but it was sort of part of his job? And that was way more important and about a thousand times more interesting than – than –

What the hell are you doing? Was a question that needed to be asked but Rin wasn’t willing to wait for an answer. There was something far more important that voicing an obvious question – and it was a simple thing that lay in a medium sized bowl between them. Yukio was closer to it with his – tools? Or. Y’know. His doctoring toys. Whatever those things were. Rin stood close to the table, one hand hovered over the bowl. He was ready to reach into the bowl to grab another cheri berry for the recipe he was working on (which was going to be awesome by the way) but… but…

His brother looked far too content. Far too engrossed in his work. Far too OLD and BORING and if Rin wasn't careful, Yukio might actually age faster by just sitting there.

“Hey, bro.”

Yukio made a noncommittal sound, barely glancing up from his – whatever Frankenstein thing he was tinkering with. This was going to be almost too easy. And there was no doubt that this was The Best Idea Ever.

“Betcha can’t eat five.”

That time Yukio looked up over the rim of his glasses. He glanced between Rin and the bowl and back to Rin again, as if he had really considered it (okay, maybe he didn't but it looked like he did!).

“That’s stupid, you’re just going to hurt yourself.” He said softly before glancing back to his work. But Rin would not be dissuaded. Oh no, not with an answer like that.

“You’re just chicken.”

Yukio glanced up again, a frown on his face. “Am not.”

“Bawk bawk baaaaaaaaaaaaaawk!!

He made a pretty damn good impersonation of a chicken, if did say so himself. That was all it would take. This spoken-unspoken challenge was on!


[Video]

Airi fluttered around both boys, her arms flapping about as she flounced between them with nursing supplies in tow. They were still seated at the table where their challenge began, except the bowl of freshly picked cheri berries was suspiciously empty.

Yukio had a large wad of tissues latched to his ruddy face. He pointedly ignored his brother as he did his best to hold his face in one piece. Rin lay his head on the table, a distinctly nauseous look on his equally flushed face. He would have made a quip or two if it didn’t feel as if he would suddenly hurl at any given moment.

The younger Okumura reached over, his hand waving in the air to bat away the Gear's camera which seemed to be held above them. "Kizamime... why are you... turn that thing off." he groaned, managing to wipe his face with the tissues. Behind the camera is the chirp of a rather cheery Noibat, almost splitting his sides in amusement at the sight.

But Yukio managed to straighten himself up before digging into his wallet and handing Airi a few pokedollars. "Airi, run to the store and get us some milk. I think we'll probably need..." he began before turning his attention to a groan from nearby.

"I think I'm gonna be sick--"
"Rin, no!"

Probably. Guess sometimes some things just have to be like that.

At least you've got your pokemon to help you out while you recover.

[Rin plz.]

I'm not gonna if I know it ends in that.

[Ib's quick to head to the store, her group of Pokemon in tow.] Chansey? Are you here?

That's a load of crap, you're practically in a coma and having an allergic reaction.

[UGH.]

You should have read it somewhere that humans aren't supposed to eat berries, "just a couple" doesn't matter, non-consumables don't care about your pissing contests.

[ Because compared to Mikoto, you are a kid, Rin. ]

Name's Mikoto. Just got here.

[ He's a bit both parts concerned and amused. ]

You kids bit off more than you could chew with those berries.

[ And sure enough, a chansey peeks around from the corner of one of the aisles with two jugs of milk in tow. ]

Chansey!

[ Airi waddles over with both her jugs, looking rather excited to see Ib and the rest. But she holds up a flipper as if to ask them to wait a moment as she hasn't paid for the milk yet. ]

Y... yeah... it's a good thing we do.

[ Have a small awkward smile back at the sudden scolding cry of Chan-SEY! from Yukio's own Chansey who's fussing around his brother. ]

[ They're probably gonna need some major detox afterward though. He's making a mental note of that. ]

I was just doing some tests on those berries when Rin came around and--

[ Nah. No use talking his way out of this. So...he's just gonna stop right there.]

Sorry we made you worry.

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2015-03-02 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe get them something nice when you're feeling better? Ahh, I know if it were me like this, Rose would appreciate a thank you, so...

Oh! Okay, we'll wait outside! [Ib ushers her herd of Pokemon outside.]

[ It doesn't even take her a moment when she comes a waddling out with a paper bag.]

Chansey!

[ Waving Ib over before she approaches. ]

Chan-chansey!

[ She's sorry if she's kept you waiting! But she's grateful for the help. Now if you'll come this way, she'll be happy to lead the helpful young miss to the place in Killua's dojo the Okumuras have been bunking down in. ]
in_praetego: ([..?] Gonna start it over)

[personal profile] in_praetego 2015-03-03 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I probably will. Airi's become an invaluable member of my team.

Is Rose one of your Pokemon?
tearsofademon: (* and your minions)

[Video]

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2015-03-03 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she's my Clefairy...

["Clef?" Speak of the devil, here she is on his shoulder. ...And her expression turns from cheerful to mild concern as soon as she sees the camera. "Clef clefairy clef?" Dear partner, is that man okay? He doesn't look good.]
soundmind: (Sigh ► Are we doing this again?)

[video]

[personal profile] soundmind 2015-03-03 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[A sigh, her shoulders drop.]

Rin's so reckless. I didn't expect you to be influenced by that, either. Now I have more reason to worry about you guys.

[Ib and her flock trot dutifully behind Chansey.] Chansey, do you think Heal Pulse will work?
in_praetego: (Default)

Action!

[personal profile] in_praetego 2015-03-04 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Chansey?

[ She's gonna think about that a bit, head tilting side to side. Yukio was in such a rush to decline Ib's offer that Airi had rushed out of there before she could test anything. But she was certain milk worked with spicy food. ]

Chansey!

[ It's worth a try, miss!

But she pauses a bit, pushing a door open and heading to the kitchen after, motioning for Ib to follow]
in_praetego: ([?] A new beginning)

[personal profile] in_praetego 2015-03-04 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
A Clefairy... That's not something I've seen around very often.

[ And he's just going to straighten up a bit. Talking while slumped over has been pretty rude of him. ]

Was she the pokemon you had with you when you first arrived?
in_praetego: ([call] Don't you know we could be)

[video]

[personal profile] in_praetego 2015-03-04 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ What, no... no, they're perfectly capable and don't need to be watched over! ]

R... really, Maka, you don't need to.

We're fine. We really are.
soundmind: (Disgust ► A thousand times no)

[video]

[personal profile] soundmind 2015-03-04 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[That look she's giving him says "no, Yukio, I absolutely need to."]

I'll believe that when you don't cram non-edibles into your mouth as fast as you can because one of you bet the other.
tearsofademon: (I see your face and wonder)

[Video]

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2015-03-05 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He reaches up to give her a scritch behind the ears.]

She was, yeah. We've been together almost four and a half years, now.

And yeah, you don't see a lot of them around... Ahh, I think there's a community of them in Mount Moon, but that's about it in the wild... Rose tends to have eggs a couple times a year though, so...
red_roses: (Smile//Happy)

[Ib follows in!] Oh, and Icee can make ice packs, too!

Action!

Airi?

[ Yukio has managed to pull himself up and away from the table once he hears the commotion in the kitchen from the Chansey bustling about trying to find some glasses.

There's a small apologetic sigh though when Yukio notices Ib and her pack. ]


Ah... sorry for the inconvenience, Ib.

[ There's a small hum of consideration there. He's read stories about the ones on Mount Moon and it did seem a little cruel to just catch one from that community. There's something else that's food for thought though. ]

Four years... looks like the ones who've been here the longest have been around for at least four years...
in_praetego: ([;;;] Gonna start it over)

[video]

[personal profile] in_praetego 2015-03-05 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a sigh there. Que sera sera, it seems. There's no helping it. ]

Believe me... we're probably not going to do that any time soon.
