4th Night [video]

[togetherforever]

[It's been a while since this girl's shown her face on the network and not that she wanted to or anything but its been months since she's received the pokemon from Armstrong and having no knowledge on caring for a pokemon like his Mamoswine, it doesn't hurt to ask right?]

Has anyone dealt with a pokemon that's tried to attack them before?

I received a pokemon from Mr. Armstrong a while ago and the first time I saw her, she tried to attack him. He managed to stop her with his strength but I'm not sure if I could...

[Mayu cuts off from their before clearing her throat.]

I would appreciate it if anyone knows what to do in this kind of situation. Thank you.

[... whaaat.]

Some guy gave you a Pokemon that attacks people? What the hell kind of gift is that?

[Yusuke might not know you well enough at this point to have properly developed Protective Feelings toward you, Mayu, but that there is some bullshit. PLEASE EXPLAIN THE SITUATION BEFORE HE GETS RILED ALL THE WAY UP.]

[togetherforever]

[THAT SHE WILL.]

It wasn't exactly a gift from him. She kind of....appeared in my box one day with no note. Like finding an abandoned baby on your doorstep?

[That is a horrible comparison, Mayu.]

video;

[angerpoints]

[... it rather is, and Yusuke cannot help but grimace at her for it, his voice flat as he then says:]

That's not much better.

[Seriously.

Yusuke regards Mayu critically.]

Did you try sending it back? Like maybe with a note that says, "yeah, fuck you too"?

[Clearly, he... still doesn't fully understand the kind of situation she's in. HELP HIM OUT, MAYU.]

[togetherforever]

[Her usual worried face drops when she heard that suggestion. Looks like it brought up stuff that shouldn't be remembered.]

I can't. He's gone [Her voice kind of sounds rather angrier than usual.] He's been gone for weeks

video;

[angerpoints]

[... oh.

. . .

Well then! Isn't he an asshole? All signs point to "yep, you sure are, asshole". It seems like he knows it, too: following Mayu's response, there's a long, awkward pause on Yusuke's end, during which he just kind of sits there and looks at her, like, "aw HELL, me and my big mouth". Then, finally, he shifts uncomfortably and mutters back to her, saying:]

Sorry. I didn't know.

[Obviously not, but that doesn't necessarily excuse his insensitivity, and he knows it. Of course, there is a part of him that feels a little frustrated by the situation, due to not having been able to really know that she'd ended up with the Pokemon in question because its original trainer left Johto and not because of some shitty prank, but... oh well! Life is hard, kiddo.]

... so uh - [Yeah, he's just gonna... change the subject now. Advice! That's what she was asking for, right? Let's see if he can come up with something that doesn't make him look like a total prick this time.] - what kind of Pokemon are we talking, anyway? If you have something that can take it out easily, you should be all right. I got this murderous beetle thing that hates my guts, but ever since Puu kicked her ass the first time we met, she hasn't tried to attack me at all. I think he's got a... type advantage? Something like that, anyway.

[Of course, Yusuke doesn't really like admitting that he needs a big, stupid bird to keep him from having his butt handed to him by a bug, but... whatever. NOT THE POINT.]

[And here sits Harry Truman with a Staraptor perched behind him, staring serenely off into the distance. Mayu might notice the bell tied around Waldo's neck — and if she doesn't notice that, she'll certainly notice the sympathetic look on Harry's face.]

Waldo here used to do that to me all the time.

video;

[togetherforever]

[Mayu notices the look on Harry's face but didn't really made a comment concerning it. However, she was curious what had happened in the past with the man and his Staraptor.]

What would happen?

video;

[likewatson]

He'd go nuts. Peck me, scratch me —

[He holds up his hands. There's a scattering of small scars along the skin of the back of his hands, some reaching around to his palms. It's nothing dramatic, but they are noticeable up close like that.]

Still can't tell you why. So I got him one of those bells. You see the thing around his neck?

video;

[togetherforever]

[Mayu looks closely at Truman's hands, trying to see the details of the bird's previous injuries to the man. She didn't react or anything but that was something.]

Yes, I do. [A beat.] What is it for?

video;

[likewatson]

It's called a Soothe Bell. It keeps him calm. I actually haven't taken it off of him since I got it... so I dunno if he'll still attack me or not. [A rueful smile.] I'd rather not find out, to be honest.

What kind of pokémon are you dealing with?

action forever!

[unended]

[ he's checking up on her after seeing that post. he knocks her door before peering inside. ]

Are you okay? Did you let her out? [ he doesn't see a giant mamoswine charging at things but... ]

you mean action FIVEever

[togetherforever]

[Mayu looks to the door and sees her adopted older brother Joonhae at the door. She waves her hand in reassurance.]

Yes, I'm fine.

[She looks awkwardly to the side.]

No. I haven't really...let her out since I found her..

[unended]

[ he lets himself in, Yoonjae following him. ]

Since we don't know how she'll react if you do it's probably better like that for now... [ he usually doesn't like keeping pokemon confined too long but it sounds like Seldi would be a risk to the people around her. ]

Maybe we could bring her to the Pokemon Center to get her checked out though. Maybe she's sick and just doesn't know how to tell us.

[togetherforever]

[As much as Mayu hated keeping her pokemon kept in pokeballs and the computer for long periods or time, she had to suck it up and agreed with Joonhae.]

Solomon did mention something seemed off with her when we talked with Mr. Armstrong about her. [She pondered to herself.] Though I'm afraid she might go wild in the Pokecenter..

[ video ]

[gracefall]

A pokemon from Lord Major Armstrong...? Oh, do you mean Lady Seldi?

[ video ]

[togetherforever]

Yes, Seldi.

[A curious look was on her face.]

You knew Mr. Armstrong?

[ video ]

[gracefall]

Oh, wow! She must be difficult to train.

[ she perks up at the mention of the sparkly man. ] Uh-huh! I only got to speak with him once but he was such a lovely man! When he left I found Lady Zahna in my care.

[ video ]

[togetherforever]

Maybe even for Mr. Armstrong.

[Seriously, having to use his own strength to take her down? The again, she's only spoke to him like once.]

He did seem like such a gentleman. There are times I wish I have spoken to him much more before he had to leave. [A beat.] How is Lady Zahna doing?

[video]

[newberktown]

If it's a ghost-type, I'd suggest going to MooMoo Farms and seeing if they've got any Miltanks with the Scrappy ability. Helga's really been great.

[video]

[togetherforever]

If she was a ghost type, I think I'd be able to handle her more better or at least less afraid of her.

[Kind of the sad truth really.]

Do you know what to do with a Mamoswine?

[video]

[newberktown]

Uhmn...

[Hang on a second, he's gotta look that one up. It's been a while since he challenged Pryce's gym.]

...A dragon, maybe? Wait, this thing has ice moves. Erm, an Arcanine might work.

[THAT THING WAS BIG.]

[video]

[togetherforever]

...Maybe, but she also has ground moves. She could retaliate with those moves towards the Arcanine.

[Not to mention she's level 100 that could crush anyone if she wanted.]

[video] sorry this is late but i wanted to hit it

[enjoymyatelier]

So you ended up with that one...?

[...admittedly, he didn't actually know this person particularly well, but between Armstrong being gone and that Mamoswine in particular.... well, he feels like he should look into the situation.]

Have you tried letting her out of her Pokeball at all yet? Honestly, I wasn't sure if that Pokemon simply had a personal grievance with Major Armstrong or if she acts that way with everyone.

[video] it's all cool!

[togetherforever]

[She shakes her head.]

I'm not sure if letting her out would lead to her going on a rampage or not so I just kept her in all this time. I'd like to let her out at some point but I don't know when...

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

What other Pokemon do you have, and what levels are they? If you have something that can easily defeat her, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but if not... I'm not entirely sure what to suggest.
