7 - Video / Action for Violet

[show_my_cannons]

[This should probably be a familiar scene by now, Jhoto. The inside of a Pokemon Center, with someone sprawled out and unconscious in bed, their attentive pokemon watching them the entire time. In this case, it's Egg, curled up in an armored ball, and looking up at his trainer every so often.]

[But nothing seems to be happening. If anything, Egg probably switched the 'gear on by accident, or someone else passing by did. The Lairon huffs, and lays his head back down.]

[...]

[Then, the big, scarred man on the bed starts to stir, muttering something groggily, and holding up a hand to examine it. He scowls.]

[And the feed cuts out -- thanks to Egg scrambling to his feet to greet Ironhide again.]

Eugh...

Where am I now?

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

I reckon it's a pokey-mon center!

[usedfakestache.livejournal.com]

You doing better now, buddy?

[voice]

[show_my_cannons]

I am... very confused.

What happened?

[voice]

[usedfakestache.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you.

Some kind of Pokémon... apparently they took people's souls? I still can't make any sense of it, but then again I never claimed to.

[voice]

[show_my_cannons]

Souls...? They stole sparks?

[That's the comparison he was always given -- a human soul was like an Autobot's spark, in a way.]

Then... how am I here?

[voice]

[usedfakestache.livejournal.com]

You got it back. At least... that's what I think happened.

I'm not that read up on the spiritual implications and the good Padre isn't around but if you're feeling okay I guess everything is back where it should be.

[Stupid Autobot. Sleeping in public?]

Some way to keep yourself away from the squishies.

[show_my_cannons]

What are you talking about?

[tripleshuttle.livejournal.com]

Living with the humans, sleeping in their beds... [Snort] Autobots. No dignity.

[show_my_cannons]

Did you forget they made us human? Not much of a choice.

Sorry about the wait, RL attacked me

[tripleshuttle.livejournal.com]

You could choose not to sleep in the middle of their most visited locations. Not that I care, long as it's not me among them.

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Y-you... woke up...!

[video]

[show_my_cannons]

Was I offline...?

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

You were sleeping...

[ The first think Cliff did when he saw the message was book it back to the Center. He comes bursting in, his Haunter right behind him. ]

Ironhide!

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

[He's in the process of trying to sit up, with Egg's assistance.]

... Yeah?

[ action ]

[getthehorns]

... All Spark, it's good to see you okay.

[ action ]

[show_my_cannons]

What... even happened?

[Because he just had a teenage girl climbing all over his back a second ago.]

[ action ]

[getthehorns]

These pokémon called Shedinja popped up all of a sudden, and if you looked at their backs, they... uh... sucked out your soul.

[ He plucks up Ironhide's 'gear from wherever it's sitting and keys up the video of Ironhide's unfortunate encounter with a Shedinja, and shows him the screen ] You crashed outside of the gym like a seeker with no wings, pal. I thought Napalm was gonna have a breakdown.
