[video from Ken Amada's gear]

[miniworth]

[As the camera flickers on and adjusts to the dim light inside of the Ilex Forest, let us all start with an overview of what has been going on in the last few episodes of Shotas in Johto days of Ken and Miles' lives.

First of all, there have been lots of wild Pokémon. Lots of them. It started off with a hoard of Paras snatching Remus and Romulus away. Then a Bulbasaur had attacked Ken (after he stepped on her). Pip has also ATTACKED WITH FIRE every other Pokémon that ever appeared in his path; this usually resulted in poor, fainted wild Pokémon or more burns on Miles' fingers. And Ken facepalming like no tomorrow.

There has also been a lot of wandering. Utterly lost and failing to remember that Miles' eight foot tall dog has a wonderful sense of smell that could un-lost them in possibly a few hours, the two boys have been wandering through the forest for a good nine days now. Nine days of wandering, camping, and encountering wild Pokémon. At least they were together. Oherwise they'd be in a lot of trouble.

For example: ]

--!! O-ow.

[Now.]

Hold still, Miles - I'm almost done.

[The camera is finally adjusting to the darkness, and the screen shifts in the arms of whatever Pokémon is holding the communicator this time - a small grunt of "Plu" and "Minu" soon indicate who they are - before coming to focus on the two little boys by the campfire. One is seated on a fallen log, shoulders hunched and his face scrunched into an uncomfortable grimace as the other stands over him, biting his tongue in concentration as he keeps his eyes on... whatever he's doing with the top of Miles' head.

It appears that the said top of Miles' head is moving.]

Really, Miles, how did you even manage this? [Ken is grumbling - he doesn't seem angry, but the amusement is blending nicely with exasperation.] I could understand getting leaves or twigs in your hair - it's getting really long too - but.... Zubats?

[....that's right, Johto. Zubats. Zubats! In Miles' hair.

Don't. Even. Ask.

The wild Pokémon just flaps its wings wildly, yanking on more of Miles' grey hair, and the boy winces, hand flying to the back of his head. Ken swats it away though, shaking his head and continuing to untangle the bat's claws from his friend's hair. Miles just grimaces more, sighing at this new misfortune... then scowls when he sees the camera recording.]

Remus. Romulus. Turn that off.

[[ooc; Hello Route! Remember how Miles dropped his Gear down the well and totally decimated it? Well, it's still broken, hence the post via Ken's Gear. There will be replies from both shotas! :D ]]

[--uh.]

I am... [what are you planning.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

I think Nyx knows sleep powder.

[miniworth]

[A-Anything to get it out of his hair. /)___(\

He nods, but then the Zubat tries to FLY AWAY AGAIN and Miles is just going "ack!"]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[OH NO YOU DON'T, KEN IS PUSHING YOU BACK DOWN DON'T PULL HIS HAIR ANYMORE.

Nyx is the only pokemon he keeps in a pokeball. He has an irrational fear of bulbasaurs.

And she's a little iffy after that incident where she SLAMMED HER FACE INTO A TREE. But she seems to be pretty obedient, casting sleep powder, and she goes off to play with Poly and Ren and Rom and everyone else.]

[miniworth]

[fffff Nyx. Miles holds his breath while he waits for the powder to die down.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[Ken's got his sleeve over his mouth, but soon he begins disentangling a sleeping Zubat from Miles' head.]

[miniworth]

[He sits. and waits. It's a lot less painful now that there are no claws scratching at his scalp.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[Aaaand then, free Zubat.

And Ken is getting a towel and water bottle and now pressing a wet towel to Miles' head, since he wants to make sure Miles isn't bleeding.]

[miniworth]

[Only a little, something that could scab and go away in an hour or less. But now he's taking the sleeping Zubat and putting it in his lap.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[Ken's still dabbing at his head with the towel and then firstaid stuff. :|A]

[miniworth]

[fffffffffff] Um, Ken - I'm fine. You don't need to use the first aid..

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

I'm making sure. [it's only a little bit of that first aid spray stuff. the icy stuff.]

[miniworth]

[F-ff. ;; He complies, then.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[He'll make sure Miles' hair doesn't get dirty with the towel :|b]

[miniworth]

[M-man they've been in the woods for so long. The first thing on Miles' agenda when he reaches Goldenrod is SHOWER o999 ]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[Well, yeah, but getting antiseptic in your hair is a little different.]

[miniworth]

[Which is why Miles is going to be dumping a cup of water over his head before sleepytimes tonight.]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[Omg Miles don't sleep with wet hair. Ken's got this.]

[miniworth]

[He'll dry it first omg. ]

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[SHOTA GOT THIS ALREADY.]

[miniworth]

..Thank you.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

You helped me with Nyx. You don't have to thank me.

[miniworth]

[pause] I wanted to.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

... You're welcome.

[He wants to make sure he says every word he wants to say. Regrets aren't something he wants in this friendship with Ken.]
