Barney Stinson

[See Barney. He's hanging around the pokemon center like usual. Not a whole lot to do today, just helping out, hoping to get of Violet soon since the Nurse Joy's been making obvious girlfriend-y like advances and that's not a good thing. Idly he checks the pokegear, and almost drops it in surprise]

Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa! It's Thanksgiving? Already? No, I can't believe I'm missing one of my favorite holidays right now, with the parade and the meal and everything. This is so not awesome. I mean, I don't think they even have Thanksgiving in this place, much less a decent Turkey. This sucks.

[He sulks for a bit, ruminating about Thanksgivings gone by. You might see his hand go up to rub his cheek, phantom pain perhaps? That's right, last Thanksgiving wasn't that great either, now that he thinks about it. Marshall's not here. He's not gonna get slapped. Maybe this won't be so bad after all]

Actually, forget that last part, this Thanksgiving's gonna be a good one. I'm actually thankful that my friends aren't here right now. Looks like Slapsgiving's not happening this year and it's Legen - wait for it - dary!

So, what are you guys thankful for? 

Oh, and Donald, are you still selling those autographs? I want one.

[ooc: so a bit earlier than expected but whatever. What I said still stands, tags will probably be gotten to by the 26th at the latest, but I might tag sparingly tomorrow given how well my other assignments are going. Still on hiatus for the most part, sorry.]

[The feed clicks on, although Barney isn't really paying attention, so you can't really see much except for the sky, and maybe Barney's leg occasionally. You can also hear some humming. Sound familiar? Yeah, It's a Small World has been stuck in his head since Wednesday. He's been trying to get it unstuck, and failing, so now he's trying to reinvent the tune to fit the background music. Not going so well.

However, Barney's pretty chipper right now. He's out of bed and over his cold, and he's managed to make some money working at the Pokemon Center for the past week. He's bought himself a nice track suit, because obviously suits don't belong in the woods and he needs to save them for Goldenrod. So now he's out on Route 32 to investigate something.

While he did promise to meet Smoker in Azalea for drinks, the promise of Goldenrod has lured him, and after looking at the map, he should be able to get there quite easily from Violet. Why is everyone going around? Obviously, he has to go figure this out. So he's at the Sudowoodo crossing now]

That's it? People are going around because of a tree? Lame. Ted, take it out.

[The Totodile rises to the challenge. Barney has learned, after several water guns to the face, just how powerful his little croc can be. Ted unleashes a wave of of water, which hits the tree. Which turns around, glaring at Barney. And launches himself at him. Not at the pokemon. At Barney]

SUDOWOODO!!!!

[The pokegear flies off to the side, but is soon righted by Ted, who is now recording the ensuing battle. And for a city boy who is much more a lover than a fighter, Barney's putting up a pretty good fight. He's getting cheered on by his other pokemon, except for Robin the Pidgey, who's just ashamed, and his Shuppet, who's pretty amused by his trainer right now. Sentret and Ted are supportive though, and gibberish is appearing on the bottom of the screen as Ted attempts to blog this.

Finally Barney manages to get away, and grabs a pokeball, hoping to make another capture. No dice. The pokeball goes back to Barney, who catches it with his face and promptly faints. The Sudowoodo goes back to where it was standing in a huff. There's a stunned silence]

[Finally Barney wakes up]

What the hell was that thing? Feels like  I was hit by another bus. 

[The audio of the pokegear is on, so you can probably hear the sounds of  Ted the Totodile puttering around. It kinda sounds like he's singing a song, or talking to himself.]

Toto--dile, toto--dile, totototo----dile! Dile, dile, Totodile!

[He's noticed the pokegear now, and the talking is a bit louder as Ted gets an idea. He's seen Barney use this things a bunch of times. Shouldn't be too hard to try it himself right?]

Totodile! [pause]

Toto, toto, dile. Totodile, di, di, totodile.

[Totally trying to write out what he's saying, although...]

afjkfshuyasd!

asfgjaji kareykfdan oisfhguia ery;aed;p sfdgnkla tyujoishd fglks. ajen sfjdh oitloaik fdop adfhka ryuy aert asdi ohg opfdpa!

[After some time, Barney's voice can be heard]

Hey, Ted, what are you doing?

Dile

 [There's a long pause as he looks at the pokegear, trying to figure out exactly what Ted was doing. And then suddenly, it clicks!]

Ted, were you trying to write a blog? 

Toto!

Ted, buddy! You are so awesome. Hey, everyone! Ted's trying to start a blog!

[ooc: Feel free to come in at any point in the entry, ie: before or after Barney's discovery. Although before will mostly be keysmash from Ted. Feel free to talk to Ted or Barney as well, as Ted's blog is meant for pokemon. Tags will mostly come in the morning]

[So, Barney wandered out onto Route 32 to see what all the fuss was about. The crystallizing and the Unknown are really kinda weird, so, Barney's hiding out behind a tree till it's safe to go back to Violet. However, he's found a friend]

Hey Guys, look! It's a B, for Barney!

[He's pointing at an Unknown "B" who's floating near Barney. The Unknown just sorta blinks]

[ooc: replies most likely to come tomorrow]

Right, so it takes a week to get to this Violet place huh? Well, look out Violet 'cause that's where I'm headed! And when I get there it'll be legen-wait for it-dary!

[muttered] Hopefully no one looks like me there.

[There are cheers of encouragement heard from Ted]

That being said, guess I'll see people on the road right? If you want, come say hi! I mean, it gets pretty lonely out in the woods. Hope I have enough stuff.
