35 - video/action for Goldenrod;

[The feed begins with a shot of Goldenrod and some... posters. There are posters all over the place, by the looks of it, all advertising a "Celadon Training Center," opening soon. Riku turns the camera on himself and smirks. It's worth noting that he still has sharp teeth and little stubs of horns from the Outbreak. Rockets may also recognize him as the 'silver haired boy' on Cobra's list.]

So, Gyms are nice and all, but they'll only get you so far. And battling Pokémon in the wild is slow, tedious, and unpredictable. Relying on the trainers along the routes will make you want to tear your hair out after a while, especially since they never get any stronger in the first place.

No, if you're serious about training, there haven't been any solid options... until now.

[He gestures to one of the posters.]

Good news is, I'm opening up a Training Center in Celadon. It's been in the works for a few months now, but I plan to open the doors within the next week or two. But before I do, I'm gonna need some help. Can't run a business on my own, after all. So, what do I need?

Mainly staff who are willing to help with publicity, Pokémon handling, customer service, money management, and battles. But not only that... I'm going to need suggestions on what kind of features to add to make sure people keep coming back. Right now, I've got some training areas set up, a pretty huge selection of level 100's who can work your Pokémon into shape, and a rental service for trainers on the go. If you want more details, I'll be attaching a link at the end of this feed along with a link to my Training for Dummies guide.

[He leans back against a building, placing a hand on his hip.]

Anyway, for you guys living in Goldenrod, what's your favorite thing to do here? Haven't been in town for a while, but I'll be going back and forth between here and Celadon. Might as well make the most of it.

[The feed ends with a click, and the following attachments appear]

[As soon as he's done with his message, Riku can be found throughout the town with his team, currently consisting of a very large Charizard, a Lucario, a Scizor, a Dragonite, a Blastoise, and an Axew. They all seem to be setting up more posters advertising Riku's business. Feel free to hassle him if you'd like!]

Oh, that's amazing! I wish you all the best, Riku.

Heh, thanks, Minnie. I figure I need something to do with my team now that I've got the badges, so I might as well stay productive.

At this rate, maybe the Gym Leaders will come to you for training!

Now, wouldn't that be something?

Of course, I'm not holding my breath. Asking someone who's only had two years of experience to train them would do a number on their pride.

Riku, do you need any help? I don't mind assisting; though I probably need to train my pokemon a little more as well.

Well, I can probably let Flare handle a few more posters, if you want to put in a training session. It'd be good practice for when we open up shop, anyway.

If it will help, I will try to take you up on that offer.

Want to hook up somewhere in town? Might be easy to coordinate that way.

I know Ven's grabbing lunch somewhere...

[Darn it. He's too far away from Celadon or Goldenrod to do anything, but that's something he'll file away from later. Also the posters, that gives him some ideas for spreading Cobra propaganda in this place. He'll have to check that out too.]

Celadon City? Well, now I know where to ssstrike at you in the future!

[...He really should've put up a filter.

Riku's not in the mood to start a flame war or anything, but he'll be nice and blunt.]

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure all the local law enforcement knows.

[Whether or not he's serious about it remains to be seen, but hey. Watch it, Cobra.]

By all means, go ahead and alert the local police. After all, they've done sssuch a wonderful job stopping me in the past, haven't they?

Pfft. Whatever.

Just don't expect to make it to the front door.

[And that's really all he has to say on the matter. Egging him on too much would be reckless, and Lightning would chew his head off for sure.]

I can help you promote, Riku. If any of my team can help you too, I can send 'em there.

[He's just out getting some lunch for everybody]

Sure, I don't mind an extra hand. But where are you right now?

Getting us something to eat. You like seafood, right?

[Guess who's figured out shrimp tempura counts as seafood...]

Ven, you've known me for two years. What do you think?

[He thought it was pretty obvious, really.]

_{[Burnt-toast face aside, the yellowy decor of the room behind her should look familiar. She's in the Goldenrod Hotel.]}

I like the parks, personally. Tons of space for Pokemon to run around and tire themselves out. ... View's nice, too, from the bigger buildings, if you can get up there.

... And the arcade at the Game Corner's always a blast.

I've got some Pokémon to give me a list. Might as well scope out some of the taller buildings.

[Not that he hasn't before, but, hey, that doesn't make the view any worse than before.]

Can't say I've spent much time at the arcade, though. Maybe that's worth checking out.

I guess it gets old if you've played all the games, but I'm not in Goldenrod too often, so they usually have something new in there every time I stop by.
