Chie Satonaka (里中 千枝) (ﾟ∀´(┗┐ヽ(･∀･ )ﾉ

( Battle time! The enclosed gym fight is being recorded by Chie's Banette, so the camera angles may get a bit goofy as she decides to mess with the viewers. Also, feel free to witness it in person if you're in Violet! )

[Chie's gear clicks back on about a half-hour later, focusing on a pleased-looking Hitmonlee in the middle of the Pokécenter.] Alright, Bruce, show it off! [Bruce stretches for a moment, then poses dramatically, holding out:]



[Chie rotates the camera around to her grinning face, Suzuka Gongen nestled in the crook of her other arm.] One badge down, seven to go! I think Shadow got it all recorded. Can you believe Suzuka Gongen beat two of Falkner's birds? [The Snorunt in question smiles, looking tired but content.] And can't forget Bruce finishing things off, of course.

So now that that's done, I think we're all ready to get out of Violet. [Suzuka Gongen chirps an affirmative "Sno".] Souji-kun, how long do you think it'll take you to get here? Oh, and should we go pick Yosuke up? And wasn't Kanji-kun -- Well, you've probably got it all planned out already, so whatever's good with you is good with me!

[Chie turns toward the exit and looks out at the rain.] Man, just look at it pour out there. Maybe we oughtta wait until it... [Blink blink.] Hey, guys, do you see something out there?

[Chie hands the gear to Suzuka Gongen, and all three of them peer out through the glass, looking at what appears to be a small black figure sitting out in the rain...]

Uh... Is anybody in Violet missing a... skull... puppy?


((Still picking up comments from the last post, but here's Chie's first badge win! She's also running across Cybil's Houndour.))
