31 - video/action for Cerulean;
[Well, after backtracking to Olivine for a few days, Riku and Ven are back in business over in the wonderful land of Kanto. So, today's broadcast begins in the Cerulean Gym, where Riku's poised and ready to go against Misty and her team of water types. He's got six powerful Pokémon by his side, including a Haunter, a Rotom, a Dragonite, a Garchomp, a Lucario, and... a Charizard?
Well, the first Pokémon Riku sends out his his Rotom, surge, while Misty calls for her Floatzel...]
[The Floatzel proves to be a bit of a pain, swimming swiftly through the water, thanks to its Agility. Luckily, Surge has a number of tricks up its sleeve, like nailing the little otter with a nasty Thunder Wave, followed up by a bit of Confuse Ray to really heat things up. From there, it's an all-out offensive strike. Lightning flashes throughout the arena, as Thunderbolts strike at the Floatzel again and again. Its Ice Beams do manage nail Surge more than once, but its repeated use of Double Team combined with the Confusion end up taking their toll on the opposition. Before long, Floatzel's down for the count.
Misty narrows her eyes and tosses out another Pokéball. Judging by the beady little eyes and slick, blue skin, Riku's got a Quagsire on his hands. Shaking his head, he calls Surge back to him, stepping aside so Flare can join the fray.
Misty blinks and raises a brow at the sight.]
A Charizard? Are you serious?
[Riku and Flare both smirk, exchanging quick eye contact.]
Hey, don't count him out just yet...
[Immediately, Flare takes to the air, beating his wings rapidly as glimmers of sunlight shine down on the arena. Quagsire spews water out of its mouth like a barrage of bullets, and though a few do glaze Flare's skin, he's not down for the count just yet. With the sun shining bright, he pulls back his head, takes a deep breath, and unleashes a powerful Solarbeam straight into Quagsire's mouth. Misty lets out an irritated scream, ordering her Quagsire to use Rain Dance. Flare utilizes Sunny Day almost immediately after. The Solarbeams keep coming.
Due to the 4x weakness to grass, it only takes a few hits to send Quagsire packing.
From there on, Riku's team proceeds to plow through the opposition. When Starmie comes out to play, Surge returns for a second helping of electrical moves with a side of ghost shenanigans. Confuse Ray mixed with Toxic strike almost immediately, followed by an assault of Shadow Balls. Once Lanturn appears, it's time for Quake to step in, using his partial ground typing to nullify those electrical moves. To make things worse, he whips out a nasty Sandstorm, boosting his evasion. Throw in a few Double Teams, a side of Toxic, and plenty of Digging to make Misty's life miserable.
When Lapras comes out, Ace the Lucario slips in. Her resistance to Ice gives her a bit of an edge. Combine that with the Aura Spheres she sends flying and the devastating Close Combat, and even Lapras' Perish Song can't hold her back. Chalk up another victory for Riku.
Last comes Milotic, a pure water type Surge could probably handle, if it weren't already worn down from the previous fights. Instead, Draco the Dragonite marches into play, slamming his fists together and letting out a "BaoOOOOoOOoOOOo" in the face of his enemy.
Immediately, he lunges forward, striking at Milotic with a ThunderPunch. However, she utilizes Rest to heal the damage. Despite falling fast asleep, she continues to fight thanks to a little Sleep Talk. Of course, Draco continues his offensive, dropping a Substitue down before exploiting a little Double Team action. From there, he continues to slam his fists against Milotic, making sparks fly. When Ice Beam strikes and the Substitute breaks, he uses a little Roost and drops another one down. Soon, Misty's final Pokémon goes down for the count, and Misty reluctantly hands over the Cascade Badge and the Water Pulse TM.
At that point, the feed ends.]
[The video starts up again outside the Gym, with Riku's Pokémon close by. He holds up the badge for a moment and grins before leaning back against the frame of the door.]
So, that's four Kanto badges down, and four Elite Teams for good measure. Not bad, if you ask me.
[He tosses the badge up and down.]
Anyway, here's a question to you guys. What do you think is more important? Using the right types and powerful Pokémon or using a Pokémon that's important to you, even if the odds are against it?
And what are your thoughts on evolution?
[With that, he'll be exploring the city and gathering supplies. After all, he and Ven intend to hit Mt. Moon before long, which means they'll need to get their act together. It could be a long trip.
Should anyone else be around town, they'll find him surrounded by his team of six, all of which are rather large, except Surge. It's hard to miss a guy surrounded by an oversized Charizard, Garchomp, and Dragonite, after all.]
