1st Turn [Video/Action for Route 2]

[markoftheheart]

[The feed opens up to Rua stroking the head of a recently-caught Charmander. A Beldum in a similar condition is also floating nearby.]

Hey, is there anyone out there that's good at coming up with nicknames?! I just caught these two and I dunno what I should call 'em... [He seems to realize the Charmander shouldn't be getting all of his attention, and then reaches up to give the Beldum a few pats.]

[Beldum is confused!

Beldum... floats there awkwardly with the ball in mid-air. And stares.

It's a good few seconds before Ace finally leaps up and slams his head into the ball, sending it right back to Hakuryuu. The Charmander is still fretting over her trainer.]

[ Hakuryuu stops the ball with one leg, but looks back at Ace. Oh, that was a good kick! Why can't Birdie kick like that?

So he's going to kick it back at Ace, just to see if it was a fluke or not. ]

[And as Rua finally recovers and sits up, Ace slams his head into the ball again, sending it back at the other.

When he does, he stares at Hakuryuu expectantly. Is this weird human going to kick the ball again? Is this a game??? o:]

[ultimateidiot]

[ Yes, he's going to kick it again! Not even bothering to stop it this time, so it might be a little harder than before -- Hakuryuu isn't dumb enough to be firing balls like bullets at harmless animals, after all, so he's careful to control the speed and strength.

Yes, it is a game : D : D!! BEST GAME EVER. ]

[markoftheheart]

[Harder than before? No problem! :D Ace knocks it back again, clearly enthusiastic.]

[ultimateidiot]

[ !! Awesome!!

Hakuryuu kicks it a little to the right, because he wants to! ]

[markoftheheart]

[Ace chases after it, but ultimately, it's the Beldum that returns the ball, stopping it with telekinesis and flinging it right back.

Eventually, Rua stops staring at the spectacle to speak.]

... Soccer? [People played it back in Neo Domino, but Rua's only watched.]

[ultimateidiot]

Of course! [ He says this while kicking it right back, of course. While doing a fancy flip in the air because he's cool like that. ]
