[Action] I feel like this title needs a balls joke

[tsuntrader]

[What's a productive use of time? Time exploring the woods and training.

Today involves the latter. ...No, really. There's perfectly valid "training" logic behind Silver running around the entire village with Sneasel and an oversized ball gun, a birthday present from some stupid flirt that needs some shounen spirit.

And the entire village is no exaggeration. He'll be zipping through lawns, tree jumping, sliding across any remaining snow and ice as if he was raised with it, pulling off ridiculous ninja bullshit stunts, the works. He'll even head into the woods at some point.

And, of course, there are those balls that keep coming out of it. Of course... They're not just balls. They're Pokéballs, which might clue people in on why Silver's doing the equivalent of playing with a new toy. They're empty Pokéballs for a good portion of the day... And they're liable to hit anyone and anything. You know, if Silver hasn't already quickly turned a corner and collided with you or narrowly avoided a collision due to good reflexes.

Of course, later on, it will also have a bird in it, so if your life long dream is to have a two foot tall bird come out of a ball and accidentally collide with you or tackle you over, now's your chance.

This is totally valid and legitimate training, guys. Really.]

[Of course not. Why would he be hiding something? That's just silly.]

[moehealer]

[Who knows? His arm seems to be stiff behind his back though.. What's back there?

Peeeeering behind you now, Silver... What do?]

[tsuntrader]

[He's turning around so she can't see his back. Sounds like a plan.]

[moehealer]

[And she's following his turning (or however you would describe that...) and continuing to try to take a peek.

What are you doing, Silver...]

[tsuntrader]

[What, there is totally nothing behind his baOkay fine you can see his stupid toy gun.]

[moehealer]

[Great success.]

What's that?

[tsuntrader]

I got it for Christmas. It can shoot Pokéballs instead of the toy balls it was meant to shoot, but not very far.

[moehealer]

Oh really? That's kind of cool! [Even if it was just accidentally used as a weapon against her. Rude.] Who gave it to you?

[tsuntrader]

Masaomi. [There's a subtle look on his face that pretty much conveys his confusion on getting gifts- let alone from so many people.

[moehealer]

[Masaomi... Oh right! It's been a while since she's seen him last.] Ohhh, I see! That's really nice of him. Are you having fun with it?

[tsuntrader]

[God damnit why did you have to say the fun word]

[tsuntrader]

[Ugh, the f word...] ...Yeah, I guess.

[moehealer]

How does it work?

[tsuntrader]

You can put balls in here. [Demonstrating with his single spare Pokéball before firing. The ball doesn't go that far, however; it's pretty clear that Silver could easily toss it a lot farther than the toy gun could.]

In order to get them to open, you'd have to be really careful about the angle that you put them in, though. [So overall, it's more trouble than it's worth.]

[moehealer]

[Watching as he demonstrates..!] Ohh... I see! That's really cool. It sounds a little hard though, to get them in the right angle. Have you been practicing with it?

[tsuntrader]

[Nod.] It's not really worth using in the long run, but it's [not fun not fun not fun] interesting to [mess around with it] see how it works anyway.

[moehealer]

It does sound like it! [And then peering at it for a second. Hmmm..] Could I try to shoot one?

[tsuntrader]

Sure. That's my only extra Pokéball, though. [It's better than launching his bird at people. ...Maybe he should try that...

...Anyway, he's handing it over to Yellow.]

[moehealer]

[Yes. Yes he should.

She examines it first, since.. yeah it looks so weird..! Looks like a hamster tube disguised as a gun--]

Is the Pokeball already in here?

[tsuntrader]

[Headshake. You have to put the one he almost hit with you back in, Yellow.]

[moehealer]

[In that case, she will go ahead and do that now!

Is she doing it correctly...?!]

[tsuntrader]

[Yeah, it's in. Go ahead and shoot.]

[moehealer]

[PEW PEW PEW--

wait no it didn't work. it made a clicking noise instead. UM.]
