wontdieifkilled | Thirty-Eighth Projection

[Action; Celadon City]

[If you walk into the Game Corner, you might find Shirou there, playing Voltorb Flip. He's got a large stack of coins going, which means he's doing good.

But then suddenly, the backpack by the chair begins to glow. Suddenly, it bursts open, revealing a newly-hatched Scyther.]

WHOA!

[Then a series of things happens. Shirou accidentally hits a panel on the game board, whcih turns out to be a Voltorb. So much for that round. But then the light directly over Shirou's head turns red.

Thus, Shirou has to deal with a rampaging Scyther. Gunning for him.

Somehow, somehow, he manages to keep the Game Corner from taking any damage.]

[Video; later]

[Shirou looks like a complete and utter mess. His hair is disheveled, his clothes are ripped in several places, and he's got some gauze taped to his right cheek.]

So, did you know that the color red makes Scyther enraged? It's true.

[Beat.]

But, um. I'm kind of stuck with one now, and it started with all the moves it can learn, so I might as well evolve it. I think I'll have better luck if I just stay out of red lights.

[You might want to wear a hat, though, Shirou.]

Problem is, Scyther only evolves from trading. Is there anybody who'd help me evolve it? I can compensate you if you want.

[[OoC: Arrangements have been made for Shirou's trading partner already.]]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You plan to evolve a Scyther you just only recently acquired? [ She's not so silently judging your call here, Shirou. ] If you trade it to anyone while it is that wild, they could end up hurt as well.

[ Frown. ]

Um, well...it'll be fine, as long as there's no red around.

[Easier said than done.]

...

But your hair. [ Bluntly said. ]

Huh? What about my hair?

[You lost him.]

The color.

[ She knows. Boy does she know. ]

What? But it's closer to orange, isn't it?

[ Was it becoming a lighter color or was that her imagination? Shirou couldn't be aging that way here after all. ]

If I had to describe it, I would use red over orange.

Does it now?

[This is the face of a man planning Archer's Christmas gift.]

[Would you put it past him?]

...You're not planning something, are you? Because dealing with a rampaging Scyther once is already enough for me.

Nah, don't worry.

You're fine.

[Given Archer's identity, technically he isn't.]

So, then, what?

[Details, details.]

Nothin' you need to worry about, kid. That's just some useful information I might be putting to good use later on.

Well, you can't blame me for jumping to that conclusion, right?

C'mon, would I do anything to actively try to kill you?

[Beat.]

...Anything else, I mean.

[Shirou's pain is an acceptable form of entertainment - have Gilgamesh, looking as pleased with the boy as he ever has.]

How pathetic.

Yeah, I'd like to see you do better. You don't have your fancy tricks here.

That you would think to challenge me . . . when you can be beaten by an insect-!

[It's just too much. His head sinks, shoulders shaking with nearly-silent laughter.]

You always did have the tendency to underestimate other people.

[He's trying to not let it bug him. After all, he's already defeated him in a one-on-one fight.]

I don't need to estimate when evidence stands in front of me.

[Recovers himself enough to look up, lifting his eyebrows subtly.]

And what is your brilliant plan to avoid the color red?

I'm not going to. I have a better idea.

[He hums a little noise, a "go on" sort of noise. Or maybe a "so you're not a complete idiot?" sort of noise. There's some overlap there.]

Huh, that's weird...

[Riku rubs the side of his neck.]

Blade loved the color red when she was as Scyther. Guess that goes to show how diverse Pokémon can be.

Wow, really? That is weird.

Not as weird as a timid Hydreigon, honestly. But it's probably got something to do with personality as well as natural habits.

The fact that some Scythers hate red is made even weirder by the fact that their evolved forms are red.

...Maybe that's why? They associate it with hostile creatures trying to encroach on their territory, maybe?
