[The feed flickers on, and at first, not much more can be seen beyond a ball of very creamy fluff with a leaf attached to it. What a way to start a video introduction, what with the Leafeon dipping its head and sniffing at the camera. What a funny contraption, it might think.

From behind it, however, a voice rings out, one that is gentle yet awfully fast.]

Thank you for greeting everyone, Leafeon...! How very kind of you.

[The Pokemon cries out with joy and hops away from the camera, leaving it focused on a very familiar face, one with hazy grey eyes and minty-green hair cascading down his back. His ponytail is notably undone for now, a nearby fan blasting in his direction as he tries to cool off. Despite his clearly weary and scalding condition, he smiles brightly into the camera, hands clapping together.]

Smash Academy! It has been far too long. [He glances off to the side, seeming a bit bashful.] I, ah... I must apologize. I had more of the world to see, and I left rather quickly. I was uncertain that I'd done the disenrollment process properly, as well... [He faces the camera again, looking more uplifted again.] Regardless, the hands have given me a warm welcome, so I suppose I have done nothing wrong. In fact, they have allowed me to increase my grade. It seems I am in college now...!

[He briefly pauses, a hand cupping his chin as he ponders.] Yet, I am not sure how to begin with my major... What does an aspiring Pokemon professor take...? [He shakes his head.] I would think that is not urgent yet. I have to check on my friends! My dear, dear friends...

[He folds his hands neatly on his lap, grinning.] I have missed you all. How are you doing? Are you all still here?

[Oh, he was about to make one hell of a remark, but once he sees that this is a cute little Eevee, a Pokemon of all things, he halts.]

Is... this your idea of a joke?

[A sick one, at that, but he still has to get used to asserting himself with Pokemon, because just. THEY ARE POKEMON, THEY ARE MESSIAHS, THEY CAN DO NO WRONG. ~~not really that's a little exaggerated~~]

Yes. You're very quick.

[ Now moving on. ]

Do you intend to be on staff at this academy once you've completed your education?

That is highly likely, yes.

[He can't help but feel off about this one, but he doesn't want to be impolite to a Pokemon either...]

Are you a student? Or, no, perhaps you are on staff...? You do not seem to be too young.

[Geez N some people take that with offense SHEESH.]

I'm old as most dirt, though there are definitely fossils in this place.

[ She isn't even that old, but she is aware of how she presents herself. ]

They say I am a Truancy Officer alongside the cantankerous hedgehog and the hilarious mole.

[ She puffs her cheeks at the screen. ]

Why would you opt to stay here?

Edited (fhfffjd words) 2012-07-12 00:19 (UTC)

Ah, simple!

[N extends his hands in a flourish, his expression plenty brighter than it once was. He is incredibly pleased upon her question. He has a lot of good to say about this place.]

I wish to stay here to remain alongside my friends and to spread knowledge about Pokemon. As a professor, my goal is to lessen Pokemon abuse from select neglectful humans.

[It's as easy as that, right?]

[ Stare. ]

Yeah, that's simple, alright.

[ ~~She thinks you're dumb, N.~~ ]

Edited (no that's me I'm dumb) 2012-07-12 14:06 (UTC)

Simple at this point in time, at the very least.

[Although, saving all the Pokemon ever isn't exactly easy, no...]

Ah, but for now, I must remain diligent on my studies and work hard. All of the needy Pokemon in this world are counting on people like me, after all.

[ What's with this human, anyway? Evve had met her fair share of kind humans, but they came so few and far between that this guy was just coming off as annoyingly unreal to her.

She was going to humor the possibility he was serious, so let's see how much. ]

Don't you feel your ideals may be delusions of grandeur?

[ RIGHT TO THE POINT. ]

[He flinches. What a terrible assumption! Yet, perhaps this Eevee is distrusting of humans in general. Maybe that's why she acts this way...?]

Of course not! I do this not for myself and for fame of any sort, but to help Pokemon.

[He drops his head down a little.]

I... have seen many mistreated Pokemon in my life. I aim to lessen that.

So what I just said.

[ Her cynicism knows no bounds, but she decides to go easy on the silly human. ]

It's fine. It's not as if anything I say will deter you, but that's also assuming I care enough to make you see the foolishness in it all. [ This was 'easy', apparently.

And after a pause, the Eevee giving him quite a stoic gaze as she tries to settle her head, she starts to rattle her paws again. ]

I suppose I can confess to finding your goals admirable and undoubtedly something to be appreciated.

Even if they are impossible.

[...

Okay, Pokemon or not, he is getting a bit irked, but he's trying his damndest not to show it. Regardless, he speaks as honestly as ever.]

They are not impossible. I cannot save all Pokemon, but I will save as many as possible.

[He grits his teeth subtly.]

No Pokemon should suffer from the underhanded mastery of man...

[ She closes her eyes for a moment. ]

Said as if I disagree.

[ This guy is grating Evve's nerves more than she would care to admit, and it's quite surprising to even her that she's managed not to have a single hair on her back electrify up in anger. ]

Look who you're speaking to before you run your mouth.

[ Oop, there's some hairs on the rise. ]

[GHHHHHH. This one is... difficult to deal with. Gosh. He slumps his shoulders a little, eyes shifting away and... is that a pout?

Child at heart, indeed.]

That was not my inflection. I was only stating that it was not impossible...!

[Leafeon paws at him. n r u ok]

[ She gives a little growl at the Leafeon, but once the sound escalates, there is an unusual calm that strikes her.

As fast as her rage came, it left, leaving a cold Eevee in its shadow to face N instead. ]

You're just another sap who thinks their sympathy is empathy, and that you understand anything.

[ She slaps the keyboard. ]

BWEE!

( YOU DON'T! )

[ And Evve leaps for the top of the screen and slams it down. ]

Wh-!

[SLAM.

There goes the screen, um.

...

Maybe he should back away this time, just for a moment.

Maybe he's doing more harm than good...]
