two [video/action for Route 39 area]

[hammerfell]

[Oh hey it's shakycam time. Though whether it's because the Gear is being held by a rather small creature finding it hard to stabilize the camera or because of the GROUND SHAKING, well, you'll have to decide for yourself.

The tail end of an Onix falls into view, slamming into the ground and causing another jolt in the camera, which pans up to the giant rock snake's equally giant head--all 22 feet of somehow living stone rearing up and staring down at...

Thor. Who's grinning madly, hair wild around his head, bracing himself for...oh shit the Onix is lunging is he not going to move?

Nope. Instead of splatting, or even screaming in terror, Thor's hands meet the Onix's face--he twists and forces the snout to the ground. And then he laughs.]

I have bested you again, my friend, though I fear tis only because you allow it.

[There's some good-natured grumbling from the Onix as Thor rubs one of the ridges above its eyes.]

Perhaps someday I will be able to offer more of a challenge for you.

[The camera falls, landing on its side half-propped up in the grass, as an enthusiastic Pichu wearing a red bandana cape leaps out from behind it, squeaking and attaching itself to the Onix's horn, then a blue paw covers the video before it cuts out.]

[This is not the kid in the mask. You're thinking of a kid in a mask, which he is not.]

Do your arms just not ever break?

[action]

[captainash]

...Well, that's not something you see every day.

[Says the man strolling down the road with a hellhound by his side. Loudly, too, because he's not getting anywhere near that giant rock snake's range just yet.]

[video]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Carter's phone is making crashing noises. When he takes it out to turn it off, instead he ends up staring at the screen.]

Hey. You with the Fabio hair!

Are you wrestling a snake made out of rocks?

Video

[lightningbearer]

*....what is it with some of you people and wrestling with your pokemon....*

That's an interesting way to train.

Action

[starspangledavenger]

Geez Thor, let him win once in a while.

[Steve grinned at Thor, chuckling as he made his way over to his teammate from where he'd been training, his Lucarios, who is very underwhelmed by it all, walks beside him, clearly unimpressed]

[jikogisei]

You enjoy sparring with your Pokemon.

[naive_nature]

H-HOW?!

[nasa_dreams]

Dude! Awesome!

[red_roses]

[How strong! But-] A-Are you all right?

[That's the entire face Shaun is making is just... oAo]

Whoa.

[chainred]

[ Her first thought is to admire his strength--not because she's impressed, but because it means there are others here like her. His hair though, it isn't red? ]

Where does your strength come from? [ What a blunt and personal question. ]

[audio]

[iownahoofbeast]

That was. Either a terribly impressive or thoroughly foolish display. I am not certain which.

[Totally not a wee bit jealous. Though at least now Equius knows he's not the only one who spars with his Pokemon, even if that doesn't include wrestling a giant rock-serpent. Yet.]

[video]

[ardent]

[Well, that looked like it broke about a million safety ordinances, world populated by giant rocksnakes or not...though the statements afterwards imply that you know what you're doing. Sorta.

Hmm.

A-At any rate!]

That was a truly impressive display of control, from all parties involved! You should be commended for it, though I do hope that you haven't somehow managed to break anything!!

[like, idk

property out of view of the camera

any small pokemon in the immediate area

your arms

you know

little things]

[artofthestress]

[ Rarity watches the entire exchange slack-jawed. When it concludes, she closes her mouth and coughs to compose herself again. Then she assumes a position of righteous indignation. ]

I thought we were supposed to be caring for these creatures, not roughhousing them!

Forever actioned

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony raises an eyebrow at this from a distance, then after awhile decides to come over and find out what that was even all about.]

Let me guess, just a typical day with a 'midgard serpent', huh?

[Pep sits on his shoulder watching curiously. But she's kind of scared of the Onix]
