+1 scrapped beta

[betabangs]

You're too good to me, ma'am! I mean, I'm not really relishing the idea of going to some big old lab for a study, but I'll get to see Red and Green again, right? That'll really be great --

Wait, what's with that subject line!? I know I wasn't put in the game, but I existed! Don't make a joke out of it!

[ooc: Going to poketesting! Also a not-so-subtle advertisement for this cute little DR!]

...nice gloves!

[betabangs]

Thanks a whole lot! My mom gave 'em to me. I think. Ma'am up here hasn't figured it all out yet, but she keeps whispering about how I don't have parents since I'm not real even in my own world. She's mean, right? Ma'am's totally mean!

[strongestcoward]

Parents are a pain. Don't worry about it.

[betabangs]

You don't have good experiences with them, sir?

[vinetrip]

Ahhh, muns shouldn't joke with things like that...!

[betabangs]

Right! She keeps saying she loves me even if I never technically existed, but I'm here, aren't I?

[HUFF. MUNS!]

[vinetrip]

Yeah! And that means you exist!

[betabangs]

You know, you're pretty nice! [for someone who actually exisTSHMMPPH OKAY PEANUT GALLERY'LL SHUT UP] Are you going to go to that lab place too?

[vinetrip]

Yup! Maybe we'll see each other there!

[betabangs]

I'd really like that! I don't have any girl friends! Actually, I don't even really have any friends!

[vinetrip]

And I only really have one friend that isn't my team...

[If she can even call Green a friend at this point.] Either way! Let's be friends when we get there!

[betabangs]

Definitely! [But team??] You have a whole team? I don't even have one Pokémon! Can I see them, can I?

[vinetrip]

Of course! [And out comes her Pokemon: a Venusaur, a Raichu, a Vaporeon, a Graveler, an Arcanine, and a Pidgeotto.] Here's everyone!

[betabangs]

[Wow! She looks them all over, hands clasped.]

They're all so well-taken care of! You must be a really great trainer!

[vinetrip]

[She smiles sheepishly and scratches the back of her head.]

Green's a way better trainer than I am.

[But then why do you always manage to defeat him in battles?]

I'm not really anything special myself. I don't have all the badges yet...

[betabangs]

It's amazing that you have any badges at all! I've heard the Gym Leaders are really, really tough.

[vinetrip]

They are! It took me a while before I was able to beat Koga... I'm almost a little scared to challenge Sabrina...!

[betabangs]

What kind of Pokémon does she have?

[vinetrip]

Psychic types! Really strong ones, too...

[betabangs]

Psychic types... Those are really hard to beat. You'll need a really cute bug type, like Paras or Butterfree, huh?

[vinetrip]

Yeah! I'm definitely thinking Paras since Claws hasn't seen a lot of action lately and I think she's starting to miss it.

[betabangs]

You sound like you have a lot of Pokémon! What else do you have?

[vinetrip]

I've got a Primeape, a Voltorb, a Horsea, a Snorlax, a Venonat, a Kadabra, a Meowth, and a Nidorina!

[betabangs]

Venonat sounds cute! I wish I had one...

[vinetrip]

Oh, they're adorable! Fuzzy is just the sweetest little thing. Oh, and Horsea is really cute too!

[betabangs]

It sounds like it'd be great to ride on! [Wait no Blue stop --]
