Can you figure out why Ethan's marill has this name
[Ethan is running through Levanta Town with a worried look on his face, looking in trash cans, under stairwells, and into every nook and cranny he can find. While he searches, he's calling as loudly as he can without attracting too many glares from the townsfolk.]
Marbles? Marbles, where are you? I told him to stay put...!
[[ooc: this place is too dead, let's fix that ;_;! Dear mods, how do I tag? This is an AU gameverse-sort-of Ethan ;_; do I use "game: ethan" or something else? Thanks in advance!]]

WHAT. Btw are there any other people with you in your college AU?
Calm down Tepig. No one does, but what if before he tried to eat us?
[Swinub's tone is slightly annoyed, getting on the defensive.
Spoink follows the group, hopping roof to roof, balcony and so forth.]
Out of my way. [Smashing through a toy stall, Red does not hesitate to rummage roughly through boxes consisting of, but not limited to yo-yo's, tops, paddle balls, and regular balls. The shopkeepers, an old men couple, evacuate immediately.]
Nope. Might have a Bugsy later but the mun's not sure. I don't mind it :)
[But he abruptly shuts up after the "eating us" comment, and somewhat thankfully, Red plows through a market stall and provides a quick distraction. Ethan skids to a halt and ducks around a corner. There is no way he is getting blamed for something that, for once, isn't his fault! ...Directly!
He does try to help, though. He cups his hands to his mouth and shouts.]
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
[—and out pops a marill, excited at being found and oh my god that rummaging human looks crazy run! Marbles tears out of there, busting through the weakened remains of the stall.
Ethan gives a shout and starts to chase after him, but he's slowed by the fleeing shopkeepers.] Marbles!
Do you need anyone especially? :O I don't want to impose but mun's AU sounds terrific fun OTL
Spoink finally makes it to the party, having problems of his own maneuvering. Wind up Spoinks? How nauseating!!
Red picks up the scent again, noticing Marbles escape. He pushes past the keep, making a leap for the Marill.]
I'd have to talk to you more about it!
He squirms a little, and then gives up and starts to bawl, kicking his stubby arms and legs ineffectively.
Ethan takes a while to get through the crowds, shouting Marbles's name as he goes. Finally, he reaches them.]
Marbles, calm down, he's a friend! I'm here! [He reaches out for his marill.]
My AIM is still screwing with me, so we can through the messaging!
[Red presses his face against Marbles, grinning ear to ear as he says this in Pokespeak. He doesn't have the sharp teeth he prized as a Mightyena, but he's maintained four of those fangs, larger than a human's. That and these new babies are cleaner.
Okay, he's done teasing. He lifts himself on all fours, freeing the Marill.]
For a second I thought I had to throw you against a wall. [Spoink wasn't able to leave his earlier tassle unscathed, a smaller Spoink lodged between his spring. Tepig rushes over to assist his brother, carrying some spoils in his mouth. He drops a slinky and marbles, couple of aggies and a cat's eye.
A box slithers over to the group, bumping against Ethan.]
The scent is strong here!
the pigs are so cute ;A;
Ethan kneels down, still holding his arms open, and his marill sprints to him, burying his face into his trainer's shirt. Ethan straightens, holding Marbles close as he gives Red a disbelieving look.]
What are you doing? Marbles is my friend! You didn't have to scare him like that! Why are you so me—woah! [He jumps when the box runs into his ankle.
Still glaring at Red, he kneels down again and quickly flips the box off of Swinub.]
See? I'm not mean to your friends.
Oh good, I thought they were all getting annoying D'8
You should thank me, serves him right for causin' trouble. Making us, YOU, run around to look for him.
[Spoink grunts, on his side trying to look for something to hold onto.] Get these toys out of the way Tepig!
[The little fire pig spits black paint to the side, sticking out a bent tongue.] Uh, chill, they won't bother you. If you keep moving I'll never get it out.
no subject
You're the one who's trouble—he's not the one who just destroyed someone's shop. You made my pokemon cry.
[He stands and turns Marbles away from his shoulder, towards Red.]
Apologize to him!
no subject
If I hadn't done that, he would've never came out.
[Spoink lets out a sigh of relief as he is set down, turning to Ethan.]
Thank you.
[He doesn't even say a word to Red, he simply matches his glare.]
Mmm...You can't be....Fiine!!
[He kneels down to reach Marbles' eye level, glancing back at Ethan. Yikes.]
Sorry you. My bad.
no subject
Tears continue to well up in Marbles's eyes, and when Red kneels down, he tries to hide his face in his paws. When Red apologizes, though, he looks up and gives a little sniff.
Ethan pulls Marbles back towards him and sighs. He gets to his feet and takes a few slow steps back.]
Look...thanks for helping me find Marbles, mister, but I should probably go. I think you've got a mess to clean up, and I still have to buy some things at the Poké Mart.
[Ethan's had enough trouble for one day, and for him, that's saying something.]
no subject
Sure. [He gets up and starts cracking knuckles.]
Glad we could help. [Swinub skitters over to Ethan, tilting his head.]
It was nice meeting you. [Spoink gives a curt bow, then heads towards the wreckage.]
[Tepig looks at Red, after Ethan, pleadingly.] Huh, wait, there's no celebration? A toast in order...a morsel...Guys, come now...stop them...err, did we even get your name now that I think about it?
surprise, I'm not dead /wraps thread up
[Ethan stands.] Oh! Sorry. I'm Ethan, from New Bark Town in Johto. I'll see you guys again, all right?
[And with a final wave over his shoulder, he trots off.]
/o/
Scarfing down.] T-Thanks!
[Swinub passing through to help Spoink in straightening out a crate.] 'Course.
[Red brushes past Ethan lightly on Spoink's beckon to fix the wreck. He flashes a toothy grin at the boy, not saying another word.]
