[the video comes on to show Neku standing around idly towards the edge of Violet. he isn't reckless enough to go out towards those crystals by himself, but he certainly will stand there and look at them. and because he's the worst bug catcher alive, there's even a concerned-looking Ekans next to him, only just in the bottom of the frame because it's. coiling around him a little. Neku is Pokébait.

he is also talking to it, because that coiling thing started when he turned the video on.]

Jeez, you're called Ekans? That's not even clever -- Quit doing that, I can't move.

[and then he speaks to the camera, what up Johto.]

So. Weird crap coming towards Violet, huh? Anyone past here seeing it too, or is it a one-way thing?

[pause. looking at this bizarre crystal shit.]

Uh. Is anyone - doing anything about this? I mean, I guess I'll help or...whatever.

[he moves to turn the video off buuuut comes back as he remembers something.]

Right -- Beat, Rhyme, you guys making it okay?

[Kaito snorts in amusement because that was one of the first hings he noticed too]

Beats me. I didn't name them.

[it gives Neku rage. even the numbers are better than oooo we spelled is backwards~]

Whoever did probably thought they were being really clever.

[bakaitoukid]

They were probably so proud of themselves.

[video]

[imprinting]

And nobody else had the sense to stop them.

Welcome to the world of bad puns.

[imprinting]

This isn't one of those "you can never escape" deals, is it?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Y'know, I think it is.

[video]

[imprinting]

Oh, great. The music was bad enough without the endless spiral of crappy puns.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Just remember: we are stuck in a video game.

[video]

[imprinting]

Yeah, Pokémon. Not Poképuns.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

All video games have their fair share of cheesy puns. All of them.

[if only the fourth wall didn't exist. I'm looking at you, Higashizawa and your food jokes.]

Is that supposed to make this better, because it isn't.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Probably not better but it's an explanation.

[video]

[imprinting]

...

I never liked video games.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Too bad. You're missing out!

[video]

[imprinting]

Well. Can't do much about it now.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Especially not when you're stuck in what is supposed to be one.

[video]

[imprinting]

Yep. One that doesn't sell anything that isn't Pokémon related, let alone other games.

[bakaitoukid]

This world is pretty obsessed with Pokémon.
