6 ❀ video/action for the Goldenrod Rocket base

[ortion]

[Good evening, network! Today you get Dist's livid face, apparently. He looks absolutely pissed, and also his nose is running slightly.]

Whose brilliant idea was it to give me a Magikarp egg as a holiday gift?!

[For a couple seconds he pans the camera to...



an unusually golden Magikarp flopping around on the floor.]

Karp karp karp karp karp karp karp karp--

[The Pokemon's cry is enough to make Dist cry out in frustration.]

AUGH! This is the exact opposite of a thoughtful gift! This is a downright godawful excuse for a gift and you should be ashamed, if not fearful for your well-being once I find out who did it!! And to think these gifts are supposed to be special...

[He takes a moment to turn the camera away and wipe his nose. The Magikarp continues its karping in the background.]

Jade, if this is your doing, I swear I'll...I'll... [He has to pause to think of a good comeback.] Take all of your gifts from me back by force!

[It's about now that he can't stand the Magikarp's constant cries anymore. His gaze drifts toward the floor where it is.]

Would you shut up?! Rrrgh, you had better be unique enough for someone to take you off my hands or you're going in the PC forever...

[Since this video was supposed to end before he got even more annoyed by the Magikarp, he finally ends the feed there.]

Well, it does seem to be a shiny? That's rather unique. [ Really, Dist, calm down.

Oh, hold on. ] You know Jade?

[ she's thinking of the wrong Jade. ]

[ortion]

Believe me, it being a Magikarp most likely negates any benefits it would have for being shiny.

[BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HIS SEETHING HATE. :c

He props up the 'Gear and starts cleaning his glasses while he talks. They got kind of foggy from all the ranting.]

Of course I know Jade. We have a rather...complicated and long history.

[timelymaid]

I don't see why! I'm certain plenty of people would be willing to care for it. You're not going to lock it up in a box, are you?

[ ...Long and complicated, what. ] Really? Did you meet her here, then?

[brokenmemories]

[Great. The last thing she wanted to hear from a grown man was his bitching.]

Calm down.
Magikarp can't be that bad of a pokemon.
If you don't like him that much, you could give him away or something.

[text]

[ortion]

[Welcome to Dist, where it's all tantrums all the time.]

You have absolutely no idea how terrible it is.

No.

Idea.

Even with its unique coloration, I know I will have a difficult time getting someone to take it.

[text]

[brokenmemories]

[She can feel his bitching even through text, oh god.]

Is that so?
If you're going to have a hard time, then I'll take him.
That is, if you're willing to give him away.

[sculpted]

[[Good sir! It seems you are unsatisfied with your shiny Pokemon; don't worry, Alex Louis Armstrong is here to help!

With, of course, the assistance of his beautiful shiny Swanna, who is currently perched on his shoulder!]]

My good man, what a simply wondrous Pokemon! You're incredibly lucky to have it, you know!

[ortion]

[... That sure is a swan with a sparkly bra, isn't it? And did this man just praise a Magikarp? What.

The amount of confusion on Dist's face right now is immeasurable.]

You must be joking. Please tell me you're joking.

[sculpted]

Joking? Of course not!

[[you know why is it that everyone only notices the sparkly bra on his male swan oh well]]

Tell me, my friend, have you ever heard of Shiny Pokemon?

[video]

[machinamonkey]

But those evolve into Gyarados! They're really useful!

[video]

[ortion]

My first Gyarados attempted to devour me!

[video]

[machinamonkey]

That doesn't mean this one will! Each Pokémon is different!

[video]

[sunpendant]

Don't be mean to him.

[It's not right. No matter how weak the monster is.]

[video]

[ortion]

[He takes a deep breath to attempt to stay calm.]

You honestly don't know how hard it is not to.

[video]

[sunpendant]

If you don't want to be his partner, give him to someone who will.

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Did you happen to get this egg on Christmas?

[video]

[ortion]

Yes, from a mystery sender. I take it I'm not alone in this?

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Well, the good news is, it might not be your friend's idea.

[video]

[fonic_sight]

[He laughs.]

I don't see what's wrong with your new pokémon. It's... very you.

[video]

[ortion]

IS THAT CONFIRMATION I HEAR?!

[Jade why do you do this to him.]

[video]

[fonic_sight]

I never said that.

[He didn't deny it either. Commence mindfuck in three... two...]

It seems quite suitable for someone of your stature, Saphir. You should do to treat him well.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[Unfortunately, Crow doesn't seem to comprehend the tragedy that receiving a Magikarp is. In fact, he doesn't really care all that much for that rant as a whole, busy staring at the unusual fish.]

... Did you paint your Magikarp or what?

[video]

[ortion]

[Crow you don't understand. :c]

Of course not. It was that color when it hatched.

video

[tendered]

Hey! You shouldn't knock on pokémon that just appear to be weak! It may grow to be strong and fierce one day! You know, Nurse Joy told me about a cute pokémon that appeared weak but it then it went on to defeat all of the gym leaders under the guidance of a caring trainer! [ lecture lecture lecture lecture lecture by a girl who looks 12. ] Maybe you should follow their lead! [ lecture over. ]

video

[ortion]

[The indifference is quite strong here.]

That is all well and good, but please spare me the lecture next time. I know that it will be strong and fierce, but it's this species' penchant for being horrifically disobedient that has me annoyed.
