007 || video/action for travel party;

[The recording starts with just Raikov's upper body visible on screen. He looks exhausted and not at all his usual sassy self. There's the sound of sobbing in the background.]

I had the bright idea to get a ghost-type [despite being absolutely terrified of them] and now I don't know what to do. I'm at my wits end.

[He turns his Gear towards the tiny Yamask floating by his feet that's making rather pathetic noises. She only gets louder while the video's recording her so Raikov turns it back to himself.]

She was fine the first day she hatched but now she just keeps crying. It started after I had her do a quick battle. You'd think she'd be happy about winning... Apparently not.

And that's got me wondering... Are battles that stressful to some species or is this a common trait among Yamasks?

[For the sake of his new traveling buddies, he's kept her in her pokeball most of the time just so they don't have to listen to her wail all day long.]

[Distress is a very rare emotion for Greed to feel, even when he's feeling sorry for himself. So right now, the fact that he looks horrified? Is probably a sign that's something is up.]

Why would you get a Yamask?

Don't you know what they are?

I thought maybe if I got a ghost-type, I'd be protected during Halloween and Yamasks were the least intimidating looking as long as I keep her from evolving...

... Are you alright though? I've never seen you this bothered by something before.

They're people, Ivan.

They... the-- the description in the 'Gear--!

[Yeah, it probably would've helped check the Pokedex before getting one. He does that now and what little color was in his face completely vanishes.]

... What the fuck?! Why... How?!

I don't know, I don't...

They don't seem particularly bothered by it, I don't think, but I....

[He breathes in deeply, but he doesn't continue his train of thought.]

Shit... No wonder she hasn't stopped crying.

[Raikov sighs and runs his fingers through his hair.]

Do I... treat her like a human then...?

No, I... I think that might upset her more.

I wouldn't know how to help someone like that.

[Especially since how he deals with it is to ignore it and hope it goes away.]

I should've known better not to go for a tame looking one.

I feel like setting her free would only make the situation worse but it feels inhumane to keep something that was once human as a "pet" of sorts...

Ghost types are way too motherfuckin' dope, man. Gotta love these motherfuckers.

[ he has two of his own, in fact ( and a baby shuppet on the way )! two rather devious gengars happen to be chilling in his shadow. the two raise said shadow behind him after being mentioned, split into two, and give quick waves before slinking back down to the ground.

as for sad pokemon . . . ]

—Y'got some snackage on hand, bro?

[This kid LOOKS like a ghost type pokemon. And his speech patterns are absolutely bizarre.

Raikov doesn't hide his discomfort as the Gengar manifest from Gamzee's shadow. WITCHCRAFT. ~~Silly Russians and their crazy superstitions.~~]

Er... I tried to feed her, if that's what you're asking.

[ ghost clowns haha ]

Yeah, man. Got her feelin' more at chill?

At... chill?

Fuck yeah. Y'know, sittin' back, chillin' the fuck out. Eat some berries and shit . . . Gettin' in touch with your easy ridin' self.

... Your vocabulary is very strange.

For real-? [ huh— ]

S'pretty normal soundin' for me.

I've never even heard half of those phrases.

Hey Raikov. [Otacon gave the Russian a smile and then moved his gaze to the mask-like Pokémon.]

Yamask, huh? What did you name her? Maybe it's just the trait within Yamasks to make such a noise? Perhaps she isn't ready to battle yet and just wants to get to know you better first.

I haven't thought of a name yet, actually...

Considering if what the pokedex says is true, she has all the reason in the world to cry. Apparently Yamasks were once human.

[Huh? Did he just say they used to be....people?]

I don't understand. How can Pokémon be people? I thought Pokémon are their own species.

I don't really understand it myself. I guess they were humans once and when they died, they became Yamasks...

That's kind of weird and spooky. [Were a lot of ghost Pokémon like that?] Yet, you have Yamask now and she needs you as a trainer and friend. Maybe you can bond with her to find out what sort of person she used to be in her past. [Right?]

I don't know. That might depress her more if I try asking her about her previous life.

Well....you could try and get to know her better by reassuring her. Perhaps that will stop her from crying? Or giving her a berry. That always helps my Pokémon.

I've tried feeding her already. Tried talking. I guess maybe she just needs time.
