Casefile 011A - Video/Action for Ruins of Alph, backdated to Friday evening

[used_fireblast]

[For today's broadcast, Harry has holed up somewhere in the ruins outside Violet City. His bag is held in his lap, and sharp-eyed trainers might be able to spot the Absol egg peeking out through the top. Bic, his Quilava, is resting beside him on the ground.]

Why is it that every time I try to leave this city, Pokemon start swarming like crows going after Tippi Hedren? Am I just unlucky or is there some cosmic force that really, REALLY wants me to tour the Bellsprout tower again?

[It probably says something about Harry's life that he actually stops to consider this for a moment before continuing.]

At least they're not attacking the way the Growlithe were, but I'd rather not risk traveling through them just yet. So we're camping tonight.

[A load roar comes from offscreen, and Harry looks up with mild interest. Anyone listening close or who are familiar enough might be able to identify it as the cry of a Gyarados.]

At least Butters is having fun, it looks like.

No no, the Beastmaster has a sworn duty to use his powers only for good. With great power comes great responsibility.

[Very solemn and serious, obviously.]

Besides, this is Johto. We can make money by forcing small animals to breed and participate in supernatural dogfighting.

[Sadly, Robin doesn't understand the pop culture reference.]

If you take that slant, it hardly sounds noble.

[Harry is very much used to dealing with people who don't get his references. It's part of the danger of being a child of the 70's and 80's who has to deal with old-world magical types a lot.]

Well, the description does lose some ground when you consider that the small animals in question seem to enjoy it more than the people do.

That hardly stops someone who wishes to see the world slanted, though.

I've generally found that if someone's determined to see the world through a slant, it'll take more than facts to stop them.

True enough.
