Dive 01 [video | action for New Bark]

Yo there, uh-- Johto! I already skimmed the manual thing, so I'll spare you all the boring questions and skip to the more important personal one!

*Aoto gives a casual wave to the camera after that. He seems in good spirits for somebody who just got kidnapped, but hey whatever.*

You see, it's best to seek out your allies early on in the game, yeah? So now it's recruitment time! I already got my eager little guy-- er... Little big guy? *He pans the camera over to show off his Makuhita, who gives a pound of his chest as a greeting to the network* --funny looking, ain't he? Anyway, allies! Best to ask about the ones I already have first, yeah? Sooo...

If any of you folks know someone with purple hair, let me know! There is a good chance they're somebody I'm familiar with-- Oh, and if they wear said hair in twin pigtails, it is a definite match! Beyond the purple haze, there's the beige haired girl who refers to herself in third person, and... ... wow, practically everybody I know aside from Saki really does have purple or purplish hair...

So, uh... Yeah! Give me a shout out if ya know somebody who fits in there, okay?

... in the meantime, it is time to figure out a badass name for my little yellow bro here... *ker-click*

Wait, wait... Do you mean our Pokemon? If that's the case, I can definitely get behind a duel or two.

If you mean us though... I think Finnel might freak out a bit if we do actual 'hands on' training.

I am pleased to hear that, and I shall make sure to train my own Pokemon in preparation for your arrival.

...excuse me, but I am afraid I am unsure of what you mean by 'hands on" training. Would you mind elaborating?

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Right! I'll definitely figure out my little partner here's strengths by the time I get over there.

Well... 'Hands on' as in like... Hand to hand? Since I traded in a drill for a bunch of balls and all. I just... Have a really dangerous feeling regarding what might happen if we went at it physically.

[kukurokukuro.livejournal.com]

My apologies, but I am afraid I still do not understand. While hand to hand combat does have the potential to be deadly, it is also another good way to spar, and I would not be against it at all should you wish to be physical with me.

*o Akane.* Soooo... What you're saying is that you're okay with me putting my hands all over you as we go at it covered in sweat?

[kukurokukuro.livejournal.com]

Of course. Both would be natural when we are training, and I would most likely have my hands over you as well.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Ohhh--?! *cackling a bit at this* It seems as if our training agenda has suddenly veered off of monsters and took a dramatic turn! What lies in store for the eager Akane and the grapple master Aoto...?!

[kukurokukuro.livejournal.com]

Hopefully improvement. I may not be as proficient in hand to hand combat as I am with a sword, but I hope you will be able to teach me, Sir Aoto.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Heh heh heh... When it comes to teaching you, Akane, I will always give my star pupil the full attention she deserves! Be it romance, grappling, or even some bizarre combination of the two!

*Ignore the fact that he likely knows nothing about grappling beyond what he has seen wrestlers do on the Telemo*
