17th treasure [video]

[Ah, such a lovely day this is. Seriously, it has everything needed for perfection: a wobbly video feed, a fluffy lime green afro taking up most of said feed, a Relicanth swiftly swimming away from said afro, and an original score -crashing waves, Eevee screams, the shouts of a hundred furious souls- that matches the action perfectly.]

Look at that fish go-

[For a man who has to deal with an Eevee screaming in his ear and digging his claws in his shoulder, Ash sounds much too gleeful. The image starts to turn around, shaking even more as it moves.]

-and look at those turtles follow!

[Ash also sounds much too cheerful for a man being pursued by dozens of angry Tirtougas. He might even sound like he's laughing.

...He is laughing. Oh hell.]

Looks like they're gaining on us. Afrodite, show them what we can do!

[Not that anyone else will get to see what exactly that is, because Evo chooses that moment to try and get away from this madness, hitting the Gear in the process.]

Challenges are fine, but that's going a little overboard, I think...

They're just a few turtles. I've fought worse, with greater disadvantages and not nearly as many critters that can throw Thunderbolts with me.

Well, if you're sure... though I don't think your Eevee agrees.

Evo's been a bit nervous around angry Pokémon since Hellspawn hatched, that's all. I'm sure this sea breeze will help him relax, and learn to enjoy the ride.

[The turtles, though...]

... he would if you weren't chased by angry turtles.

They're part of the scenery, too. He should enjoy their presence as much as he would enjoy watching Magikarps.

It's probably hard to enjoy it when they're trying to attack you.

[There's a sigh.] As long as you don't get hurt.

Don't worry. It takes a lot more than that to hurt me. The rest of my team will learn that too, in time.

If you're sure...

Of course I am. I've had plenty of opportunities to learn my limits. Angry turtles are nothing.

I guess you live a dangerous life, then.

It could live a safer one. Or not, really.

You'd get too bored?

...It's not a matter of boredom. I couldn't just watch as the world goes to hell around me.

Ah... sorry.

It's alright. It's not that bad once you get used to it.

Has it been like that for you for a while?

Longer than I've been alive. At this point, even angry turtles are little more than a pleasant distraction.

I can see your point, yes.

...But I have to admit that hearing them shout like that is amusing.

... a lot of same Pokémon making the same sound usually sounds quite interesting.

Who would have thought turtles could sound so furious?

Anyone or anything can sound furious if they have a good reason.

Makes me wonder what's theirs.

...Maybe the whole "being reanimated against their will after millions of years" thing.

... that's a valid point. I would be annoyed if I was waken up from my deep slumber.
