[Who in their right mind would be up at the crack of dawn on this delightful Thursday in July, traipsing down to the Pokemon Center to make a Very Important Withdrawl™ from her PC? Well, possibly nobody in their right mind, but it certainly is Parker. Bright and early (or possibly really, really, really late, depending on when you consider "bedtime" to be a thing), she can be spotted heading out of the Violet City Pokemon Center with a fluffy red and blue egg in tow — and, impressively enough, followed along behind by just about every member of her roster, save for the evil ones and the horses (but she repeats herself).

Coincidentally, shortly thereafter she can also be spotted, still rather impressively — this time, atop some random south-facing shop's structurally sound purple awning: ]

[Whether or not one also hears a bout of muffled yet vaguely melodious chanting that may or may not sound conspicuously like NAAAAAAAAAAAANTS INGONYAMA BAGITHI BABAAAAAAAA as this is occurring is, of course, entirely a matter of speculation.

JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION AN ARCHEN GET IN THE CAR]


[OOC: As a note, Parker is far enough off-camera here to conceal the fact that her face is still somewhat messed up from her encounter with Blake; if you'd rather avoid your character having to see/deal with that, feel free to use text or voice instead of video or action! Just leave me a quick OOC note and I'll make sure she doesn't utilize video or bring it up in conversation. o/]

ACTION!; 1/3

[As pissed off and intent on pursuing Taro as Yusuke is, it's hard for him not to notice it when the ground beneath his feet suddenly begins vibrating, especially when it's accompanied by the sound of several other feet, big and small, thundering along behind him. Despite being struck with a distinct feeling of foreboding, one which promised that he absolutely would not like what he saw if he looked over his shoulder, Yusuke, still running, hazards a glance anyway, his fury at being so CALLOUSLY BETRAYED by his dog temporarily numbed by a rapidly rising sense of mixed bewilderment and panic. Big mistake: almost immediately upon turning his head to look behind him, he meets the eyes of Hungry the Hippopotas, as well as the eyes of several other Pokemon, all of whom, in one big damn interspecies flock, are now on his tail. Some of them, he notices, look confused, as if they're not sure why they're running but hey, fuck it; others, well, they're looking just a bit too enthusiastic about chasing him for his liking, and quite frankly, he's not sure which is more alarming.

Either way, that sound Parker may or may not have heard just now? That might've been a yell, and it might've sounded a bit like...]

AGH!!

[FUCK HIS LIFE.

Now, for all the ire Yusuke was previously putting on display, he hadn't actually been running after Taro and Sophie all that fast - to be honest, it actually was less of a run and more of a VERY INTENSE jog, which he occasionally paused in the middle of just so that he wouldn't accidentally trip over or stomp on either of the little Pokemon. This, though? This thing he's doing, now that he realizes he's being chased by, like, every single member of the animal kingdom? This is definitely running, and GODDAMN, can this kid cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time!

Eyes wide and teeth visibly gritted, Yusuke abruptly changes directions and barrels, zig-zagging, away so that neither he nor the herd of Pokemon go crashing into the cluster of trees that had been just up ahead, his arms pumping with each step. It's a mystery to him how in the hell all those Pokemon manage to stay right on his ass even after he does this, but they do, and it only belatedly occurs to him as he's GOIN' FAST that neither Taro nor Sophie are in front of him anymore. It's just as well, he thinks: he's running out of ideas on how to get himself out of here even without the added difficulty of having to consider the possibility of collateral damage, and the fact that he's starting to tucker out certainly doesn't help. UGHHH. Seriously, he thought he was done with this whole "getting chased by ginormous things that won't fuck off" thing!! Where the hell is Hiei when you need someone to pull your ass out of a jam!?]
