usedgalacticpunt | Bout 010 (Video/Action): Badges upon badges. (backdated to Tue. 6/14)

[The video opens in medias res, with a casual conversation going on in the Olivine Pokémon Center. It's not quite loud enough to hear any of the words, though. After a second or two, Chie orients the video on herself.]

Oh, hey, has anybody else noticed how the gym leaders are a little... weird? Me and my friends all challenged Jasmine today, so we could get the Surf TM and cross Route... 42, I think it was? And Jasmine gave us all the same lines from beginning to end. She was all like, "Properly tempered steel won't be made rusty by things like this!" And "You are a better trainer than me, in both skill and kindness." Like she was reading off a script or something!

But anyway, we all made it! I got Ecruteak's badge too, when we stopped there on Friday, so I'm up to four! [Chie shows off two badges to the camera.]

For anybody who's following our quest to rescue Souji-kun, we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning on the way back to Ecruteak. And from there, it's through Mahogany and on to the Ice Path! Just hold on, Souji-kun, we won't make you wait too much longer!

[OOC: You may have already won the chance to be tagged by others in Chie's traveling group! This is a limited-time offer, so comment today! ~~Or any time, really.~~]

Oh, you mean you're here too? Sorry! I would've if I'd known! It was a pretty quick fight, anyway. Two of 'em were weak to Fighting, so Bruce basically mopped them up.

Oof, what kinda circumstances were those? But at least it sounds like you're well on your way now!

Exactly. Thanks! Now that we've got Surf, we can get through to where he is a lot faster. Hopefully won't be long now!

Ugh, don't even remind me about his place.

[She frowns and leans back, arms crossed.] I know what you mean, though. It's like... whoever or whatever brought us here made this world, just to put us into. But why?

I dunno. To screw with us, maybe... [Another pause, and then a memory of Ameno-Sagiri and Izanami kind of floods his mind.] Unless it really just is like being inside the TV.

[for Niou, he doesn't offer his hand. rather, he moves out of the way to make room for Niou's landing.]

No objections, here. Mind if we borrow Sugar for the net?

Really? They are?

Huh... how about Fire?

[ she gives Yukimura a nod of acquiescence as she rolls the ball in her palm-- not anything uncertain, just thoughtful, even if that turns blank a few seconds later. ]

Sugar?

Oh yeah, you'll be able to do it really quick! I know you can!

Of course-- if I may ask, where is your next destination?

Niou's Ditto. It should make a serviceable net.

[Naturally Yukimura has his racket with him, anything else would be unthinkable. He glances at Fuji and smiles.]

Smooth or rough?

[ With both feet firmly on the roof, Niou releases his Ditto, who is prompt in following instructions, stretching itself into a tennis net that spans the roof. (Only after becoming a butterfly net and a volleyball net, but both moments of defiance were short-lived. ]

Smooth.

[ He has no problem answering for Fuji. Looking on as the serve is decided, Niou stretches his arms, stealing a glance at Rise. ]

Yeah. Wonder if it's a bad sign that you kinda get used to it after a while.

Anyone get hurt?

Not if you colour outside the lines.

[And why the hell is he even doing this—]

Well, they were rough with the prisoners.

And how rough is 'rough'?

Like broken bones 'rough'.

... Yeah, that's bad.

... Be careful with those guys.

I'd have to say that's the fun part, really.

For you, maybe.

[This situation is getting increasingly worse, damn it.]

... Yeah, I will. Thanks for the heads-up.

Mm, if not me, then who?

Well, not for me, at least.
