4TH WALL

[snapandscoot]

[[It's been an exciting day for one Emmy Altava here in Goldenrod!

Not only did she wake up to find her scooter parked neatly outside her apartment building, but it's full of fuel and working perfectly! So of course, the first thing she does (after breakfast, obviously!) is leap on top of it and start riding it around town in a manner that....might not be considered following the road rules. But she has a license! It's a license from back home but it's....still a license, right?

Oh well!

After a while, she started to feel bad that her Pokemon were being left out. It wasn't fair that they should have to sit in their Pokeballs while she had fun all over the city!

But then Emmy had a brainwave.

So if you happen to be in the streets of Goldenrod, you might see....well.

A Machamp riding a scooter.

A Machamp riding a scooter wearing a pink helmet with an excited girl on her shoulders.

This was a fantastic idea, Machi! Go a little faster, I want to take more shots!

[[Completely oblivious to the fact that she could fall and crack her skull open, Emmy is having a marvelous time, while Machi is kind of holding on to her trainer and the scooter for dear life. Having four arms is great, sometimes.

Just wave the Emmymobile down if you want to speak to her; just expect a picture or two!]]

[Clive's just sitting on the shoulder of a Regigigas, peacefully enjoying the view of Goldenrod from up here as the colossal Pokémon walks around... very slowly... when he catches sight of a very familiar brunette riding on her Machamp who is riding on a scooter...

...wait what

he... isn't really sure what to say about this...]

[snapandscoot]

[[WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT

....

brb, photo

And that's when she spots...]]

....Luke?

[[Well, hello there! Let her wave to you!]]

What are you doing all the way up there?

[vengefulyears]

[And Clive tips his hat to her in greeting!]

Just enjoying the view. What are you doing riding your scooter in such a barbaric and highly unsafe manner?

[snapandscoot]

Just enjoying the view, thanks very much!

[[Snap! Have another photo.]]

Besides, it's hardly unsafe! Machi knows where the brake is, and we're both wearing helmets!

[vengefulyears]

That alone doesn't make it completely safe, you know. Do be careful; the last thing I want is for you to get hurt.

[snapandscoot]

I'm not the one sitting on the shoulder of that....thing, Luke. I don't see a helmet on you~!

[vengefulyears]

Oh, no need to worry about me. There's plenty of room up here, and this big old lug is hardly capable of going any faster than a couple kilometers per hour.

[There's no wind, either, so there's no way Clive can possibly fall off!!]

I think I might actually take a little nap up here... This heat is really starting to wear me down.

[snapandscoot]

Luke, don't you dare! What if you rolled over in your sleep and fell off!?

Don't make me come up there!

[[because she will!!!]]

[vengefulyears]

I would never do something so careless! Not even in my sleep!

However, you're free to join me up here if you'd like.

[snapandscoot]

[[Oh don't worry, Clive; if you turn your head you'll find Emmy sitting next to you, arms and legs crossed and a sour expression on her face. Alakazams with Teleport are awesome!]]

Honestly, even as an adult you're still being reckless!

[[said the kettle to the pot!]]

[vengefulyears]

[Emmy's sudden appearance startles him a bit, but he quickly regains his composure.]

Like you're one to talk about recklessness!

[snapandscoot]

I'm not the one potentially falling off....whatever on earth this is!

[[On that note, another photo!! Because this is a really nice view, okay!!]]

What would the Professor say, Luke?!

[vengefulyears]

[Don't take photos while he's arguing with you, young lady!!]

He would say that you're worrying far too much and it's perfectly fine to take just a quick nap!

[...probably not

BUT FUCK WHAT YOU GUYS THINK, CLIVE JUST WANTS TO SLEEP A LITTLE!!]

[snapandscoot]

[[There's just wonderful potential for photos, okay!!]]

Well it's a good thing you'll have me here to catch you when you go rolling off!

[[A BED, CLIVE

USE A BED]]

[vengefulyears]

[BUT HE WANTS TO TAKE AN OUTDOOR NAP!!]

I assure you that won't be necessary.

[But enough of this arguing, Clive's just going to curl up and make himself comfortable over here before closing his eyes.

You better not take pictures of him sleeping...]

[snapandscoot]

[[THEN DRAG YOUR BED OUTSIDE oh what is this]]

Luke, if you don't get up I'm going to take an albums worth of photos of you!!

[vengefulyears]

[TOO MUCH WORK]

Can't I sleep for just a few minutes?

[snapandscoot]

.....oh, alright. But you really shouldn't get into the habit of sleeping outside like this. Especially not up this high!

[[...hmm.]]

Have you not been sleeping properly?

[vengefulyears]

I know, I know...

[A pause.]

Well, I don't get as much sleep as I'd like during the week due to spending the entire day working and then training my Pokémon late at night... The fatigue tends to catch up during the weekend.

[And the heat is only making him even more sleepy.]

[snapandscoot]

....Luke, you need to take care of yourself a little better! Where are you working?

[[Because that doesn't sound like the Professor...]]

[vengefulyears]

[All right, Clive's just going to sit himself up now and lean back against the Regigigas's... head thing?]

I work at the department store as well as the Breeding Center.

[Well, he actually quit the department store a while back to take on that undercover police assistant job for Team Rocket, but he can't tell her that obviously... And he still works the same hours that he did at the department store anyway.]

[snapandscoot]

Well no wonder you're sleep-deprived! Having two jobs would do that to anyone!

[[Honestly!!]]

You certainly work very hard.

[vengefulyears]

Of course I do! The professor's number one apprentice should always be a hard worker!

[But on a more serious note--]

I am planning on travelling around soon, though, so I'd like to have a stable supply of money before I leave. That way I can focus less on working and more on enjoying what wonderful things Johto and Kanto have to offer.

[snapandscoot]

They should be, but what about his number two assistant~?

[[Regardless, she seems pleased!]]

I think that's a very smart thing for you to do, Luke. I need to travel to Blackthorn City eventually to get the final badge here in Johto, but I hate leaving Goldenrod. It's so lovely!

[vengefulyears]

She should work just as hard, of course!

[Oh, wait, what is this]

You have seven badges already? Wow... Even further proof that I've been trapped in this city for far too long.

[Considering Clive arrived here before Emmy did and he only has one badge... orz]
