islandshore: (Rival Riku wants to battle!)

15 - video/action for Azalea - the most onesided Gym battle ever!

[Today's broadcast is brought to you by Rotom-cam, courtesy of Surge, who quietly Vrrrrms as the doors to Azaleas gym open. There's a nice shot of Riku and his big ol' Charizard from behind as he storms into the gym, poised and eager to challenge anyone who crosses his path.

He looks over to Flare with a smirk.]


Just remember, Flare. Bring them down before there's a chance to fight back. I give it five minutes, tops.

[Flare grunts, glancing around the gym with a rather bored expression. After a brief pause, he nods, and the two make their way through the gym and battle the various trainers in the way of Bugsy. The battles fly by fast; Flare one-shots every Pokémon before they have a chance to strike. Naturally, Surge records all of this from pleasing angles so Riku has something to boast about.

But, soon enough, he reaches Bugsy, who looks surprisingly calm, given the circumstances. It's quite the contrast from Whitney, really.]


Ready to go down?

[He shakes his head.]

Your Charizard's pretty impressive, but don't think I'll go easy on you. I'm an expert when it comes to Bug Pokémon.

We'll just see about that.

[He smirks, letting Flare step into the fray, as Bugsy sends out his Pinsir. It snaps the pincers on its head and gives Flare a nasty glare, but right as it jumps forward to attack, Flare rolls his eyes and blasts it with flamethrower. Instant K.O.

Bugsy orders his Heracross to use Stone Edge, and it readies itself with some sharp rocks, but Flare's level advantage and flight gives him the upper hand, and another white-hot inferno shoots down at the bug. Another K.O? You bet.

Lastly, Bugsy calls forth his Scizor. At this point, Riku laughs. Bug and steel is the worst possible combination to battle a level 97 Charizard. Naturally, before the Scizor has a chance to move, Flare puts the poor thing out of its misery with an immense inferno-- this time, Riku made him use Blast Burn, to add insult to injury.]

[In the end, Bugsy manages to stay calm in spite of his embarrassing defeat, and Riku obtains the Hive Badge and the U-turn TM. With that, he'll slowly head out of the gym with Flare in tow. People are free to spot him in the gym or outside, as later on he'll be chilling by the Pokémon Center. Once there, he'll finally speak into the Gear.]


So, we finally made it to Azalea. About time, too. And, to tell you the truth, I don't mind sticking around here for a bit. It's Violet I'm not looking forward to. Worst city in Johto, I swear.

[He shakes his head.]

Anyway, I've got a few Riolu eggs to get rid of, plus a few others in the PC. If anyone wants my last Charmander and Totodile eggs, just let me know. At this point, I'll sell them at a discount.

[ooc: So, I'm finally setting up the post for those eggs I mentioned. Info here!]

Got stuck there for months on and off. It's left a bad taste in my mouth.

I just have to worry about my friends. Knowing Sora, he'll find some way to slack off.

Even his Scizor?

[Kinda resists bug, dude.]

Thanks. It's about time I took care of things.

Maybe we'll be able to move forward sooner or later.

Mm, fair enough. Though at least it's a large city, isn't it? Being stuck in a small one would be worse.

[is in Mahogany. and a bit concerned about this.]

You'll come watch, right?

[ He really isn't, but he and Kairi will do their best. The whole team will, really. ]

[ What's that skeptical face for, Ree-coo? ]

Don't think we can do it?

[identity profile] islandshore.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't say that.

[He shakes his head.]

Just means there's no type advantage. You'll have to strategize.

Like I'd miss it.

[He smirks. C'mon, Kairi. He's a good biffle.]

Well, it's better than New Bark Town.

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's the starter town, yes? I assume there's almost nothing there.

What, I can't borrow Flare?

The strongest...? I know it's good to be strong, but is being the strongest really necessary?

You're friends with Sora?

Huh, he didn't strike me has a slacking off type.

No training that day, then! It might take awhile.

[ She smiles proudly down at Winona. ]

That's the point, ain't it? Where's the fun if there ain't no challenge to it?

Hmm... Nah, you look like a good kid who needs the money. It's a deal. P3000 it is.

[identity profile] islandshore.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it.

[Hmmm...]

Where are you right now?

[identity profile] islandshore.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Flare snorts and flaps his wings.]

You can't expect me to spoon feed you, Sora.

[identity profile] islandshore.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me, he is. You should've seen him back home. We were working on a raft, and he decided to take a nap on the beach.

Nothing but some houses and a lab.

They can train on their own. I'll just send them out before your gym battle.

You've got a point. Besides, it's not like you'll be at a disadvantage.

[video]

[identity profile] sfaccendato.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely sounds similar to the starter town from the games, then. Terribly boring to be there for any length of time.

You know I wouldn't do that! I've got plenty of hardcore Pokémon to take Bugsy out.
