007 video/action for fishing at route_31

[otakon_geek]

[Otacon sighs for the third time, as he tries to use his fishing rod properly. Ever since receiving the Old Rod from the guy in the Pokémon Centre on route_31, he has been aching to try it out. Not far from his location is a small pond. Perfect for trying his new rod out and perhaps catching some new Pokémon, right? There also seems to be a guy asleep next to the pond. Perhaps, he fell asleep whilst trying to catch a Pokémon?

Well the thing is......Otacon isn't the outdoor-sy kind of guy. He's a computer nerd and right now he's failing pretty badly. He has his line all tangled on the rod and can't seem to place the bait on the end of the hook very well either.]

Ow! [He cries out in pain, as he hooks his finger with the hook instead of the bait. Piplup and Nomad are just chilling nearby under a tree and looking pretty bored. Liquid slithers up to see if he can assist his trainer but changes his mind and slithers back to his shady rock. Leafy, his Bellsprout, is enjoying the sunshine and eating a few berries, whilst gazing upon his hapless trainer. Otacon sucks his injured finger and feel the urge to throw the rod down in anger.]

Snake? Can you help me? Anyone? This fishing thing isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Why are things so difficult?

Oh yeah.

[ Didn't Liquid have one of those? He's PRETTY SURE that he did... a Water Snake and a Rock Snake. Heh. ]

Yeah, that thing is actually useful. It's just getting it to that level that's the hard part.

[otakon_geek]

It sounds like a tough challenge to get any Magikarp to evolve. If it can't do any offensive moves against other Pokémon then how does it progress in battle? I wouldn't mind having another water-type in my party.

[That and it looks awesome.]

[imthe_shit]

... I guess make it watch? I don't know.

I never really thought about it since all of mine can do something.

[otakon_geek]

[Make it watch? Really, Snake? Would it work?]

Hm, I guess. I don't know how else Magikarp could evolve, since it's pretty much useless at using moves in battle. [He still wants to get one though.]

[imthe_shit]

You should probably ask a breeder. They seem to know a lot about Pokémon and how to bring out their good points. There's probably someone here who knows how to train a Magikarp.

[ Other than saying "don't" ]

I don't think I ever caught one. I wasn't much of a fishing guy. [ Snake smirked, picking up his rod and checking the hook-- nope, nothing. ]

[otakon_geek]

Perhaps I will in my next video call. [He could always do with help from others, right? Otacon nodded then went back to focusing on trying to catch something.]

I would have thought you'd be good at catching fish, Snake. What with having your father's genes and everything. [He might be teasing a little here, Snake.]

[imthe_shit]

[ Snake frowned a bit and shook his head. ] Hey, soldier's genes aren't a catch-all. Besides, I'm not sure Big Boss had a lot of time for fishing... Not sure how much of a good idea it is to fish with one eye.

[otakon_geek]

You're probably right. He had more important matters on his hands, like trying to stop the bad guys from destroying the world. I bet he had a good one eye, Snake. His lack of sight in one eye probably made his good eye even better than before. [Right?]

[imthe_shit]

[ Snake groaned. Stop the bad guys? Looks like Otacon might have liked those reports that were leaked to the world. About how he was a Hero. True or not, Snake couldn't forget about what Big Boss was like near the end. He'd tried to kill him... twice. Snake had defeated him both times, but the second time was much more horrifying. ]

I honestly don't know. I mean, I wear an eye-patch, but it's not because I'm injured or anything... And I see a lot more with it on, too.
