► second sketch [Video]

-- oh no!

[The camera opens up abruptly when it crashes to the ground, and Naminé's legs come into view. There's a Pidgey obviously weakened a little far off and she's quite close to approaching it. Salty just waves her glowing arms.]

I didn't know it could hurt that much... um...

Prii!

It's a good start, right? What move did you use?

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

The only one I know it does is Metronome.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Really? Hang on a second.

[Sora pops open Bell's pokéball, smiling slightly at the trill he's given in greeting. yup, he wants to try this out with his own inherited Togepi.]

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

You have one too?

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

It's Xion's. Er, well it was hers.

... Should I stand back before I try it out?

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

You're keeping it?

... maybe. Be careful.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Well, I wasn't gonna leave it behind.

[... takes several cautious steps away from Bell.]

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

At least it's okay.

[She's watching carefully.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Hey, Bell? Think you could use Metronome for me?

[Bell waddles until it's facing away from Sora, chirping and wagging its hand just like Naminé's Togepi. one glowing hand and another resounding chirp later...]

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[... Bell yawns.]

.... Um.

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

... maybe she's tired.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

But I didn't even get to see what the move does! Bell!

[too late, the tiny little egg rolls onto its back, fast asleep.]

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I think they get tired easily. They're really like babies.

Do you want mine to do it one more time for you?

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Sure! Thanks, Naminé.

[he bends down to scoop up the now snoring Bell, sigh you silly little thing.]

[video] 1/2

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Okay, um...

[Naminé glances down at the too jolly thing in her arms.]

Salty, use Metronome?

[The egg gurgles happily, arms glowing--]

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[And suddenly, some of the fallen leaves around levitate, suddenly as if sharp razors, before flying and striking at the nearby tree, sharp enough to scratch it deep.]

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

What the--

... Was that the same thing Salty did last time?

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

N-no, actually--

Priiiii!

[Salty is entirely too happy, giddily cooing up at Naminé as if asking if she's proud of what it did.]

... l-last time, electricity came from the sky and hit that Pidgey--

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Seriously?

[... this requires extensive testing-- Sora sets Bell back down, who cheeps softly, waking up as the effects of Rest wear off.]

Bell, use Metronome again, okay?

[she perks right up and cheeps again; there goes the wagging hand again, and... enjoy watching Sora get smacked by a small tidal wave, Naminé.]

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[IN BEFORE DANCE, WATER, DANCE--]

SORA!

Togetogetoge!

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PREMONITION-- Sora sits up, soaking wet and blinking away the water dripping down his eyelashes.]

... ... ... ...

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[That tidal wave is nothing to the pain of ten water clone sitars hitting you in the face, Sora.]

Are you okay?!

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

-- That... That was so cool!

[yeah he'll be singing a different tune when he actually gets a chance to fight Demyx-- but Bell just squeaks happily, quite proud of herself for pleasing trainer. even if she did just nearly drown him.]

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Naminé is the only one not joining the jubilation of eggs (Salty is cooing happily too) and derp. She's too busy wondering if the water got into his brain or if people from Destiny Islands are used to it.]

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[hold that thought, Naminé, Sora's thinking about whether he could somehow harness Pokémon power to go surfing-- he shakes the water out of his hair like a puppy after a minute, his hands held out to Bell as she hops excitedly into his arms.]

I guess Metronome does something different every time, then. That's awesome!
