2nd Station ➲ Action

[infinitegrin]

[There's always a lot of activity going on in the midst of the village. People shuffling about and chatting as they go about their day, others still spending time with friends and family. Still, it's not always the most excited place, as most people training take to the forests or to the Battle Dome.

So when a grown man starts running through the streets with a bizarre, brightly feathered bird-like dinosaur creature, it's a bit stirring! The creature runs along with its legs, flapping its wings at times to try and glide to gain speed, staying just ahead of its master until Emmet takes the tennis ball in his hand and throws it as hard as he can in the air.

The bird races along the ground by foot, at incredible speeds, before taking off in flight. It swooped upwards catching the ball in its mouth before dropping back down and catching itself on the side of a building, gripping it until gliding back down on the ground and running back to Emmet to return the ball to him.

All in all, it's quite a silly looking game, as Archeops, despite running at incredibly startling speeds, looks like a chicken as it runs. And Emmet himself is running around, a big ol' smile on his face like always.]

Good girl! Let's do it again, alright? Once more down the line!

[Rinse, lather, repeat!]

[It's all fun and games until Chandelure stays true to its Naughty nature. On one of the ball tosses Chandelure materializes right in front of the thrown ball, screeching merrily as it (and possibly Archeops depending on how close behind she was) sails right through him.

Ingo is a bit of a distance behind them, coming back from the woods for training. Chandelure, where did you go. what are you doing. Chandelure go home you are not part of this game-- oh, it's Archeops!]

[infinitegrin]

[Archeops flaps frantically, stopping before passing through this randomly appearing obstacle and swooping down to land-- where to land, where too--

Hope you don't mind a slightly rough landing, Ingo, as Archeops grabs onto your coat with all her claws and hangs off of your shoulder! Emmet is quick to run up and join his brother.]

Ingo! How did training go?

[infinitefrown]

[Oof. thank you for that, Archy. ...well actually, thank you, Chandelure. Sigh. (He can't really be upset, though, even if he stumbled a little with the unexpected impact.)]

Emmet. [He nods a little tiredly at the question, and Chandelure floats down to rejoin them after retrieving the ball.] Well enough, though how Silver and the others so easily work their more hands-on physical aspects into their battling is still a bit of a distant track...

[AHHH, YOUTH. Not that he's envious of their acrobatics, since it's a necessity, but... Keep trying, Ingo. You'll get better at it eventually. Maybe.]

[cilantro]

[Taking a break from potentially destroying our kitchen in the quest to figure out the recipe for volcano burgers for Gold, we're just minding on our own business now, going for a walk with Pansage...that is, until they notice their game and stop to watch for a moment.

When Archeops catches a particularly impressive toss of the ball, Cilan (and Pansage, who mimics the movement as best as it can from where it had been clinging onto his shoulder) offers some modest clapping.]

What a superb taste! That was an impressive catch! ["Pan~!"]

[infinitegrin]

[After a few catches, Emmet's made a habit of running to catch up to Archeops, moving around as much as he can. He laughs, grinning at his audience and bowing as Archeops crawled her way onto his back. (Ouch oww easy on the luceti wings archie)]

Thank you, thank you!

[cilantro]

[That gets a slight wince of sympathy as they approach closer--it took Pansage a week to figure out where to be climbing around on us without accidentally hurting the wings, but with Archeops that's probably a lot harder to manage. ^^;;]

Well, the two of you certainly seem energetic today. [Then again, you're Emmet, that's not too strange.] Keeping to an active schedule of physical fitness, or just something to do to pass the time?

[acuity]

[ aaand on one of the throws, the ball hits a passerby empoleon right in the head. awkward penguin flails a bit in surprise, while her trainer does a double-take. ]

Empoleon?... Where did that ball come from!

[infinitegrin]

[Swooping right in after the ball is the Archeops, shrieking as an Empoleon appeared as an obstacle and ungracefully flying right into him. Lucky for the Empoleon, Archeops doesn't have too much weight to her comparatively.

Emmet runs up to catch up.]

Uh oh! Is everyone okay?

[acuity]

Ah, Mr. Emmet!

[ A WILD SUBWAY BOSS APPEARED!! waving at o/ and then beaming at new pokemon she totally doesn't recognize, hey there!

... and then both penguin and princess lineface at the collision, that's less classy. ]

[pendantry]

[Emmet must be a great tosser; Raven turns suddenly as a large bird goes sprinting by while she walks from the smithy. The colors- no, it was that silly brother's bird monster. Shortly afterward it careens back in the other direction and she...follows it.]

This...looks like fetch.

[action]

[infinitegrin]

[Archeops looks up at Raven, fluffing up her feathers excitedly. It sure is fetch, she's having quite a blast!

Emmet's sprinting up from behind.]

Ah, miss Raven! Hello!

[action]

[pendantry]

[Raven reaches a hand toward Archaeops in greeting. She'll pet the bird too, if she consents.]

Hey. ...What are you doing?

[bravefighter]

Whoa, you guys are doing great!

[It's always awesome to see trainers around with their Pokemon! It definitely makes this place feel a bit more like home.]

So, what kinda Pokemon is that, anyway? Never seen that one!

[Or if he has, he's forgotten by now. Whoops!]

[infinitegrin]

[Well hello there! Emmet slows down and finally takes a break, breathing heavily from the exercise.]

Ah! This is Archeops. She's a fossil Pokémon! Would you like to meet her?

[bravefighter]

Sure, that would be awesome! I've got a fossil Pokemon back home, too! Mine's an Aerodactyl, though. I kinda wish he was here now!

[tsuntrader]

[Silver is returning from the dome with Sneasel! And...

...And a ball goes sailing over their heads. What the-]

[infinitegrin]

[Racing after that ball soon after is Archeops! She only just swoops over Silver and Sneasel, only touching them with the rush of air in her wake, and catches the ball in her mouth once more. She makes a more determined effort to land gracefully, showing off her control. ...Shut up she can totally control herself when she wants!!

Emmet comes running up the same direction, waving at Silver.]

Hello! Did we hit you?

[tsuntrader]

[The lack of danger is a little lost on the both of them, and Silver's quick to crouch down in the event that Archeops plans on swooping over their head again. (But the landing is nice.)

...And then Emmet shows up.]

Almost. [But not quite. ...What are the two of them doing, anyway?]

[hueless]

[ At some point, Hilda stops to watch the dinobird fetch the ball like a real pro. You go, Archeops! ]

Looks like you two are having fun! It's making me wish I had my Archeops here with me. [ Heck, she really wishes she had her full team with her. She's glad to at least have three but that doesn't change the fact that there's a giant hole in her life where the rest of her precious partners should be. ]

[infinitegrin]

Ah, Miss Hilda!

[Overdramatic bow! Oh, Ingo's silly habits are just sillier with Emmet.]

It's really too bad! I remember your Archeops, which you raised very well and very strong!

[hueless]

Gosh, thank you! It means a lot coming from you. [ She certainly admires both of the subway bros for their skills so the compliment gives her a little ego boost. ]

Say, how'd the two of you meet? I got the fossil for mine from a nice lady at the Desert Resort but I didn't see more of those things around those parts.

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold watches Ingo play with his dino-chicken for a bit, before he decides to speak up.]

Are you two playin' fetch?

[infinitegrin]

[As Archeops scuttles back, Emmet grins and responds!]

We certainly are! I thought chasing after her would be good exercise for me.

[action]

[kickingcatcher]

[Oh lord, is that a Pokemon from Unova holy shit, it looks like a Dragon/Flying type, oh wow, are those claws at the end of its wings. This is so cool. And it's so fast, too! Crys just stares in amazement at it for a while before realizing it must have a trainer, too. Just gonna wait and see where it lands... aha! There.] Um, excuse me, sir--

[Wait, what.] Mr. Ingo? [Except you smile.]

[infinitegrin]

[Oh?

Emmet turns around, giving the girl an inquisitive look.]

Ingo is my brother. I am Emmet. I am a Subway Boss, together with Ingo.
