001 - video/action for route 1

[fullscale]

O-ow, please! Someone help!

[Welp, this sure is an accidental post - in his urgency, Shindou seems to have dropped his Xtransceiver! ... And unfortunately, his Whismur is just looking on with dismay, worry, and fear.
Why? Shindou seems to have been caught!

... By an itty bitty Trapinch, that's clinging to his forearm. Seems that no matter how hard he tries, he can't get it to let go.
Even when he tries to pry it off. He doesn't want to hurt it, but...]

[GET OFF - oh. Well, it seems his prying's worked, since the Trapinch has finally let him go!

There's a sigh of relief, and he grabs the Trapinch by its back so it can't bite him again, before picking up his Xtransceiver.]

... Where are you, anyway?
Though, a better question would be where are we?
I haven't gotten a very good explanation.

I'd explain, but... I barely get it myself? But apparently we're in one of those regions from the Pokémon video games because this thing called the Entralink broke. As for specific locations you're--or rather, we're on Route 1. I was previously in Accumula Town, which is to the north of the route.

In a video game. ... I'm not sure what I was expecting.

[A better explanation, probably - but he sighs and shakes his head. Kirino wouldn't pull his leg like that, so...

... He'll hold the Trapinch to the feed again, and it snaps at the air a bit, cutely.]

What do I do with this, now? I can't put it back in the wild - it just follows after me again.

[doingthemistything]

You could probably try to catch it... You have Pokéballs, don't you?

[video]

[fullscale]

The red and white balls, right? Yes, I have one or two of them.

[So he'll put the Xtransceiver somewhere where Kirino can still see, and pull out a pokeball, holding it out for the Trapinch.

... And it eats it.

Excuse him for a second, he needs to get it to cough it back up -
But after a moment or so he eventually holds the pokeball back up and the Trapinch lets itself get caught!
Probably so it can eat all his food.]

... Somewhat unconventional, but whatever works, I guess.

[Although, his focusing on the Xtransceiver's screen means he hasn't exactly been watching his surroundings.

... So yeah, if you heard his voice a bit louder than it was previously, Shindou, that miiiiight be because Kirino's standing a few feet away from you.]

[... And he turns off his feed with a bit of a grin because Kirino...]

I guess you really weren't too far away at all.

[Look! It's your best friend in the flesh, Kirino! 'u']

[action]

[doingthemistything]

Yeah. [That earns a smile as Kirino switches off his feed as well. COME HERE SO KIRINO CAN GIVE YOU A HUG ;w;]

[action]

[fullscale]

[Nope, you have to come here - Shindou's not the kind to go running and hugging with joy, you know! Though he wouldn't be against a hug right now --]

You've been here a while, huh?

[action]

[doingthemistything]

[Fine, he's going over there but HE IS GETTING THAT HUG.]

A while, yeah. Kariya and Hayami are here, too.

[action]

[fullscale]

[He'll get a huge hug then!]

I'm not too surprised. Where the team goes, I go, after all.

[action]

[doingthemistything]

... Though, this place... uh. It brings people from parallel universes... and apparently it can bring doubles of people...

There's another "you" with the rest of the group, as well as a version of Tenma from his universe... [His tone takes a bit of a downwards turn with that, and he fidgets a little, even while he's hugging Shindou.]
