Who: Tavros Nitram (bullieve) & you!
Where: Goldenrod City, National Park (but you can run into him pretty much anywhere).
When: 11/5
Summary: There's a dorky kid having a nice day minding his own business. You should pick on him.
Rating: PG!
Log:
[ Tavros still hasn't gotten used to being a bull in the big city. despite getting lost pretty much every time he leaves his room at the inn, he still vastly enjoys exploring everything there is to see, whether he's seen it already or not. sometimes he goes in his wheelchair, sometimes he rides on his Tauros. today is a Tauros day. today they made it all the way to the park! and now he is sitting beside the fountain while his hoofbeast grazes and torments the flocks of Pidgeys, just. enjoying the sunshine.

maybe kind of squinty-eyed because he's still not used to actually being able to go out during the day yet, either, particularly not when he's sitting in the light, just having a Lovely Day, warmed by the rays while he's bundled up in his soft flannel jacket, collar popped so he can shrink down and keep his ears warm, too. he even brought a picnic basket full to the brim of various human foods he's never tried before.

... but someone should probably warn him not to take such a big sip of the fizzy sugar drink next time. cough cough hack wheeze! BLUH. so sweet.

also, there may or may not be an Inexplicable Diglett lurking on the side of the fountain nearby, but he's not paying that sonofabitch any mind. B| ]

[Shelly has not noticed any dorky kids at all. This can be explained by his newly-ignited tendency to pay no attention to people in general.

... He does see the Inexplicable Diglett as he passes by the fountain, though, and he's tempted to spend some time observing it. Kind of reminds him of the one on the wheelchair the other day...]

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ Inexplicable Diglett does not wish to be observed. it's given up trying to get Tavros' goat, and instead it's looking for other victims. when it sees it's being watched, it goes Lett! which is Poke-nese for a whole lot of profanity. enough WHATCHU LOOKIN AT PUNK type stuff that Tavros eventually looks up and around, trying to see what it's yelling at.

oh.

well. good thing that guy doesn't speak Diglett, he hopes. still, he gives him a sympathetic look, anyway. ]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

[Hmm, it's a shame he can't speak Pokémon. That sounded a lot like a greeting, even if a bit harsh.

... And then he notices the kid. That IS the one who was in the wheelchair, right?] Oh, is this your...?

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ oh, he recognizes that voice! ... he recognizes it from the highly embarrassing Diglett entry. this does not do wonders to cheer him up. shakes his head quickly! ]

It's not really mine. Uhh, still.

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

And... I suppose you haven't had much luck negotiating with it.

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

No, none whatsoever.

[The Tauros is going to get hassled by a tiny bird-thing, if he doesn't mind. The curious thing doesn't understand why it's harassing her fellow bird types, and it's plopping down in front of the majestic hoofbeat, staring up curiously.]

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ this is a very brave bird-thing. because while Rufio isn't in a bad mood, necessarily, he is always willing and raring to smash his formidable head against anything that gets in his way. it's only when he's angry at they get the horns.

so when this presumptuous little featherbeast comes and plops itself in front of him, he does a great big dirtcloud snort and stares it down. What do you want? ]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[More like sopor-slimed stupidity than bravery, if pokemon can have sopor slime. Said featherbeast merely lets out a chirp at the dirtcloud, and decides that the angry and more formidable pokemon must be grumpy because it needs food!

It offer one of the pokeberries it's been holding onto as a peace offering.]

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ !!!! a bizarre act of generosity. Rufio is impressed with this, and also humbled (he can be quite reasonable so long as he doesn't have one of his recurring headache spells).

hope you don't mind a long sticky bull tongue just kinda... slitherin' on out... and scooping that berry up. hey, at least he says thank you. ]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[The Piplup squeals happily. A peace offering, accepted. This is the way diplomatic ties should go.

The squeal catches the attention of her trainer, who was busy coaxing down her bird types from the sky. Wait why is that pokemon taking what sh egave her pokemon earlier.]

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ yeah, Tavros' attention is pinged by the squeal, too, and he looks up from his picnic on the fountain. oh no! is Rufio stealing that featherbeast's food, how rude. :( he's just going to go ahead and commune with Featherbeast now.

Is everything okay?

and meanwhile Rufio is looking at the other trainer like what, you got a problem with me making a friend huh? B| I'll ram you grrrl. Don't even mess. ]

[craftingrebel]

[Since it's such a nice day, Kanji decided to go out to work on his poké-accessories. That, and working on them in the house has kind of become a hazardous thing to said accessories... Anyways, while he's doing that-- his Snubbull decided to explore some of the park! Thus explaining why he's running into you at the fountain.

At the coughing he blinks as he tilts his head to the side. u ok bro?]

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ oh a barkbeast! a barkbeast of an unusual color, even. once he's done almost dying from carbonation he clears his throat weakly and glances down with an awkward grin. ]

Hi there, barkbeast. I'm okay, uhh, don't worry, if worrying is what you were doing just now.

[ he says it in people-talk instead of communing, mostly because he... forgot to do it the other way around this time. blame it on the fizz. ]

[craftingrebel]

[Chiffon jumps slightly and slinks further into the ground. his tsun is on hard.]

S-Snuh!! Shnubbull Shnuh! [Of course he wasn't worrying about you!!]

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ what lies are you speaking, barkbeast. Tavros speaks your language. he speaks it INSIDE YOUR BRAIN. like this, see:

Really? ]

[craftingrebel]

[oh. my. god. is this happening? Chiffon's eyes widen as he looks around quickly.

Of course!!

also-- idk what the fuck that was. oops]

sup nino

[usedjunes.livejournal.com]

[yeah well that Tauros is gonna get a face full of srs loli, arms outstretched and staring up at the huge hoofbeast. B(]

hay grrrrl

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ OH JESUS. Rufio skids to a screeching halt right in front of her, head lowered, snorting up dustclouds. he'd just as well ram her, but he's kind of blown away by the sudden rampage cockblock.

also Tavros almost pissed himself with terror just now over this close call. ]

Ahh! Look out!

1/2

[usedjunes.livejournal.com]

[please hold while she sneezes from the impudent dustcloud snorting-]

[usedjunes.livejournal.com]

[okay back to being srs. B|

Nanako continues to stare down the Tauros unflinchingly (despite it being like 4 times her size but whatever), even as Tavros addresses her.]

Is he yours?

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ if running were a thing he could do, he would be running to the rescue so fast. as it is all he can do is sit there uselessly and tell Rufio over and over in his head that the consequences will be dire if he harms the wiggler human. ]

Yes, he's mine, and, I'm trying to tell him not to hurt you, since you are being very reckless and it's a thing that might happen!

[usedjunes.livejournal.com]

Well, he shouldn't be hurting other Pokemon for no reason in the first place.

[Nanako merely lifts her chin higher in determination, still managing to look down her nose at Rufio even with her head tilted nearly all the way back.]

Just because he's big, that doesn't mean he can go around being a bully to everyone else!

[eclectical]

[It's too nice of a day to stay inside, so Jade is hanging out in the park! She's sitting on a bench, probably somewhere near the fountain. Her Eevee wanders over to Tauros curiously, while her Arcanine keeps a watchful eye on him...]

[bullieve.livejournal.com]

[ Rufio seems to have issues with actually trampling smaller creatures despite his frequent threats--the birds are one thing, they can fly. but when he almost stampedes right over the Eevee and has to come to a skidding halt he moos (or whatever sound a Tauros makes B|) in alarm and annoyance, snorting a cloud of dust.

which makes Tavros look up with a frown, what in the world is his hoofbeast destroying this time. ]
