00?. [Action for Goldenrod City / FOURTH WALL EVENT]

[explosivecombat]

[Normal: Kimblee is hanging out on the outskirts of town today, wandering around in the snow.

Also Normal: His current activity is centered around forced population control on groups of wild Pokémon in the area; most call it "training," the local Rattata call it "horrifying."

Still Normal, If A Bit Disconcerting: Said population control involves a lot of loud explosions, followed by some kind of disturbing laughter.

Decidedly Less Normal: Those explosions are happening in rapid succession, too quickly for them to be caused by Selfdestruct without a lot of Revives...

Wait, What?: Hold on, Kimblee's Pokémon are nowhere to be seen.

Arceus, Please Save Us: ...yeah, those explosions are coming from Kimblee himself.

...oh dear.

When things aren't exploding, he's still more or less composed, if you see him from the back or at a distance; there's nothing frantic or erratic about his actions - if anything, his movements are very tightly controlled and almost unnaturally calm. He's simply walking around in areas that are quite obviously still tall grass, despite all the snow, and seeing what he finds. It's his expression that's obviously not right; he's got an >8D face going on that's only capable of being rivaled by very spoiled children being given free rein in a candy store on Christmas morning. And once something jumps out at him from that grass, it quickly becomes very obvious why.

He brings his hands together with a sharp snap, then drops down easily, the motion fluid; it isn't long before snow and general destruction is flying everywhere as explosions rip through the ground.

They're nowhere near as powerful as they might have been with the Philosopher's Stones - Johto wasn't that good to him, and the realization had led to a bit of linefacing at first - but they're still alchemy, and after two months without?

Feels. Good. Man.

So yes, there are a lot of explosions somewhere outside of Goldenrod (...okay, pretty much everywhere outside of Goldenrod eventually, because he's not going to stay in one place); Kimblee's just laughing like a maniac and...clapping like a moron, fainting Pokémon left and right as he goes. Today is awesome. Awesome.]

[...Well this settles it; he really can't leave you alone for ten minutes without you finding some ridiculous way to terrorize the NPCs. Being Kimblee's handler is suffering.]

[It might have been a nice day otherwise. Sure, it's cold and there's snow everywhere and Archer is prone to getting sick easily, but it's not terrible. Or at least, it wasn't terrible until the loud explosions started and snow started flying everywhere.]

[Well someone certainly had all the coffee this morning. It won't take long for Archer to approach, though he will stop short once he realizes two things: One, that the Electrode isn't out, and as far as he's aware, Dorian can't explode; and two, that there's something definitely different about these explosions. It might be the fact that they're not as centralized as the Selfdestruct ones; but more likely than not it's the fact that he can get a decent look at your expression from over here, and it's nothing short of terrifying.]

...Well, I see you're having fun.

[...To understate it horribly.]

[It's lucky that Gorthan was able to access a sufficient amount of suitable fabric to build himself a long, hooded cloak, dark green in color. Because it means he gets to leave his room in the Rocket base in spite of the fact that he's back to being a vampire duck from space, spend some time in the scenic outskirts and enjoy that beautiful thing that Earthlings call snow, as it falls around him in complete silence...

... okay, let's try this again. Complete silence...

... Nope. There is just no quiet time today. What the good hell...?

... And then he spots Kimblee in the distance. How interesting that his powers seem to have come back, possibly as a result of the malfunction that Gorthan heard news of...

Gorthan joins his hands behind his back. He can't say he dislikes observing Kimblee's madness at work. Though he kind of really wanted to be alone with the snow, too.

Sadly, that hood isn't too great at hiding Gorthan's long beak.]

[ .... This.... sounds and looks way too familiar for it to be comfortable. It also reminds him of things that he really doesn't want to remember.

Maes is sighing, and keeping a safe distance, but just in sight range, and watching this all happen. ]

[What if a boom happens that he didn't cause? It'll be accompanied by confetti and streamers and a table cloth (and possibly a couple of drinks already in glasses) flying at him, not regular old explosions.]

Oops! Sorry about that!

Action THIS CALLS FOR A SUPERHERO WITH NO ICONS!

[Danny was just flying around, all transformed and stuff, and was totally caught in one of those explosions!]

ARRRGH! [He's mostly okay, though...more surprise than anything] WHAT THE HECK, MAN?!

[Don’t mind the bundled up creepy pale guy with glowing red eyes. He’s just watching the explosions and jotting things down in a notebook. You’re proving to be quite the interesting research subject so far, Kimblee.]

[ WHAT DO YOU MEAN LUST IS CREEPING AROUND EVERYONE TODAY?

Oh. Well. Uh. This is completely true! Have a Lust that seemingly came out of nowhere with a bit of a deep smile. ]

Ah, ah, for all your effort, it's a shame they're only unconscious.

[Cynthia, seeing as she can't do too much else, has taken to sitting sidesaddle on her Milotic and observing the other people around. She would be riding Garchomp, but she doesn't like the snow too much. So Milotic it is.

Needless to say, the use of Explosion with an apparent lack of Pokemon has caught her eye. She's been watching for some time now, and simply put? Cynthia like.]

Impressive.

Having fun?

[Not being used to explosions at all is no reason to go check them out. But he's only just curious enough to do so anyway. Still, he'll stop clear enough to be safe. He is all kinds of unsure...]

Ahaa... I'm not sure if I should be impressed or worried... [Or nervous? He sounds kinda like it yeah.] How are you doing that?

[usedmask.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT! [Cue Rick just barely diving out of the way there. Explosions are bad when you don't have a Mayan mask to regenerate your limbs.]
