35 - video/action for Goldenrod;

[islandshore]

[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.

[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!]

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

[islandshore]

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

I know Ven's grabbing lunch somewhere...

[earthshattering]

Sure. Where would you like to meet up at?

[islandshore]

Maybe outside the department store? It's easy enough to spot.

[earthshattering]

Let's meet there then. I will see you soon.

[islandshore]

[And Riku will... totally just chill there until Terra arrives with the rest of his team. Watch and be amazed at his troop of monstrbeasts.]

[earthshattering]

[ Terra's making sure to keep track of his Turtwig while he finds his way over to Riku. He's still trying to get used to the other being so much taller now ]

Hey. [ A simple greeting; Terra's not too great of a conversationalist sometimes ]

[islandshore]

[And Riku waves and nods, leaning back against the building. His other Pokémon give a variety of grunts and roars, and the Blastoise does a little peace sign.]

Hey yourself.

[earthshattering]

[ Terra's impressed with the large amount of pokemon around Riku....or just generally their size. Turtwig just stays by Terra's feet and waits for the okay to move forward ]

Wow, do they all get that big?

[islandshore]

Most do, anyway. When Pokémon evolve, they take on bigger and stronger forms.

[Right as Riku says that, his Dragonite lets out a "BaoOoOOOO" and swoops up into the air, beating his fists on his chest and spewing flames from his mouth-- though they're not directed at anyone in particular.]

...And sometimes their ego inflates along with them.

[earthshattering]

[ Terra laughs softly at the pokemon ]

Well, that happens with strength sometimes. I really appreciate all your help; do you need me to do anything regarding your efforts?

[islandshore]

Nah. I wouldn't charge you for something like this.

[Especially since Terra's a bro. That, and his business isn't even open yet.]

[earthshattering]

Well...What should we do then?

[ Terra's only asking because he's still a little unsure of everything. It's hard to grasp it all at once. ]

[islandshore]

Well, if you want, we can head out to Route 34 so we have a bit more space.

[earthshattering]

Sounds good.

[ A smile smile on his lips as he waits for the other to lead ]
