008 | Video/Action for Goldenrod

[codeforhope]

[It's around midday, and a shaky video suddenly appears on the Network. At first it's pretty blurry and staticy, as if the Gear itself is malfunctioning a bit, before Chihiro finally comes into focus. He's standing...no, he's crouching behind what looks like a desk not too far from a wall of televisions, and tucked behind his ankles is a Flareon whose fur is glowing softly. It looks like he's in a store of some kind.]

Does anyone have any suggestions for catching a Pokemon that is, um...very fast?

[Chihiro whispers, glancing up when something falls off of a shelf offscreen and clatters to the floor. His Flareon growls softly, peering around the edge of the counter as Chihiro turns his attention back to the screen.]

I haven't caught many Pokemon myself, since I breed them mostly...and this one won't-

[All of a sudden the feed cuts.

For a while- like, five minutes or more- there's no further activity on the Network. Then, as abruptly as the first one appeared, a second one comes, this time with Chihiro sitting on the floor instead of crouching, his Flareon in his lap and both of them looking rather frazzled.]

A-actually, I think I maybe should jus-

[Before he finishes the TV screens flash rapidly behind him, and the set nearest him seems to suddenly change appearance, a cheerful giggling sounding before all of the lights turn off in the store. After that, the feed cuts again.]

Hmm...I'll see what I can do. I'm not sure if I have a Pokemon with me that could do that...

[His Flareon could burn it, maybe...]

I recommend making them fall asleep, so they won't try to escape. Paralysis can make them easier to capture, but they can still try to escape.

[Which he sometimes wonder while playing the game. But since Pokemon are real...maybe they can use their environment to their advantage.]

Otherwise...there's always knocking them out cold.

[He nods slowly in understanding.]

Okay...Henko is just having trouble getting a direct hit, since it keeps going into the different appliances.

[babel_hacker]

Mm... The easiest way might be luring it out with a bait and knock it out. Getting the appliance they're hiding him and separate it probably wouldn't be enough.

[They might come out and fly to another hiding spot.]

Hmm...I'll have to see what I have.

Thank you for the advice, Atsuro-kun!

[babel_hacker]

You're welcome, Chihiro!

Good luck catching that Rotom!

[And with that he nods and switches off the feed, moving to point his Flareon in the direction of the front of the store.

Hopefully some patience here will pay off!]
