Room 031 [Video]

_{[The video opens on a bed.]

[Upon the bed is a huge-ass pile of Halloween candy. Several of the bags have big MARKED DOWN stickers slapped on them. A lot of it looks kind of gross, store-brand candy that was probably discounted to BEGIN with. A shiny Venonat sits on top of the pile and nibbles on an empty packet of pop rocks.]}

This is the best purchase I have ever made.

Yeah?

_{[YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?]}

[ MAYBE ]

What kind of a name is that? [ snake you named your last torkoal after a brand of cigarettes you don't get to point fingers ]

_{[Henry isn't sure if he feels like putting up with more old dudes that criticize his naming methods.]}

Well look at it. It looks like a baby alien.

You could say that about a lot of the creatures here.

_{[Henry can't argue with that. He does pick up one of the little bag of Sour Type candies and tear it open though.]}

He seems to like it anyway.

Probably just likes you.

[ Snake is positive that you could name a Pokemon "Dung Heap" and it'd still love you. ]

_{[The photographer shrugs and pops a few candies in his mouth.]}

S'still a good name.

Hhnn...

Who are you anyway? You mentioned Heather...

_{[Henry squints at Snake, and not just because of the sour candy. He can't help but be a little suspicious of people he's never seen on the network before suddenly asking about adopted!sister.]}

My name is Henry and Heather is my friend.

Henry...

[ He catches that tone of voice and rolls his eyes, grumbling. ]

Don't worry, I'm not going to steal her from you, kid.

_{[He forms a tight little frown at the eye rolling. Hmf.]}

Who are you?

A friend of Heather's. Call me Snake.

Snake...

_{[Now that's a name he HAS heard. Heather has spoken fondly of this Snake...though he looks different than he imagined. He does still have the man's old Torkoal.]}

I've heard about you. You're from...a really long time ago.

Yeah, just a memory now.

[ Tilts his head. ]

So you've got nothing to worry about. Just glad Heather has some company.

_{[Henry's quiet for a moment longer before letting his frown fade.]}

She's got me and her dad. We've been here for a while. I don't think we've been separated except for that one weird weekend where everything got mixed up.

[ His eyes widen a bit. He seems to recall her father being here before, wasn't he...? His memory's foggy on that though. ]

Her father, huh... That's good. I'm glad. She deserves that much. [ Nods absently. ]

Where are you guys right now anyway?

_{[That gets Snake some points.]}

We're in Mahogany. We've been here for a while now.

Hnn... [ Rubs his forehead. ] Probably won't see you guys then... I'm taking that ferry to Pallet.

I'll tell her you said hello, then?

Yeah. [ Nods his head. ] Thanks, Henry. [ Some smoke is billowing behind the old soldier, and he looks down. ] Not now, Boss.

_{[Henry is momentarily distracted from remembering a few of the stories Heather has told him about Snake and the crew she used to hang out with by SUDDEN SMOKE.]}

Uh, is something on fire over there?

... Nno. Not really... [ He tilts the PokeGear down so that his new Torkoal comes into view, looking grumpy as ever. ]

This is Boss... My new partner. Used to have another one of these guys the last time I was here. His name was Marlboro.

_{[Henry gives a small nod.]}

I know about him. I've had him for a while now. If Marlboro was any more chill, he'd be an Ice-type.

..........

[ Wait a second, step back. ]

You have Marlboro?

Heather gave him to me for protection. I'm...not a very good pokemon trainer.
