16 - video/action around Azalea inn;

[Well, that's strange. Today, it looks like a Charizard is using Riku's PokéGear. For a few seconds, he flips it around in his hand, making the footage go upside-down and sideways until it finally settles in an upright position.

Once that's done, he leans back a little and snorts. Those who can understand Pokémon should be get the gist of what he's saying, but for the rest, it'll come out as a series of grunts, growls, and roars.]


Alright. I don't normally bother to ask for advice, but I figure someone's gotta know what to do about this. Anyway, here's the deal. My trainer's... well, let's just say he's getting pretty full of himself. Thinks he's better than the Gym Leaders, that there's no one out there who can beat him.

[He sighs.]

Basically, his ego's about to explode. What I'm wondering is if--

[Suddenly, he's interrupted as a Scyther flies into him from the side, waving her blades around.]

Don't say that about him! He should be a Gym Leader! He'd be the best ever!

Relax, will you?

[He pushes Blade out of the way and continues.]

Like I was saying, he's taking things too far. I'm all for getting stronger, but he's too focused on winning battles. Has us beat up on wild Pokémon way weaker than us... for hours. Seriously. Sometimes he'll leave us out there on our own while he does something else. Riku needs to relax-- he's got plenty of time to face the Gym Leaders, and there's no need to train us all the time. And he doesn't have to be the best. The problem is, I'm not sure how to get the message through his thick skull.

His skull's not thick!

I said relax. It's for his own good.

[Blade isn't quite convinced, however, and she flails around in frustration. Around that time, Gear the Skarmory and Slash the Sneasel appear on screen. Gear hurries over to Flare, while Slash slowly follows, heaving a sigh.]

You know, perhaps the problem is that we're too cooperative. If we stood up for our views, then he might reconsider.

But I like running around outside! It's fun, it's fun!

[Rolling his eyes, Flare looks back at the Gear.]

I'll just cut to the chase. How do I get my trainer to quit being such a stubborn prick? I'm all ears.

[With that, he puts down the Gear, right as the other Pokémon start bickering loudly about Riku's training strategy. The things he has to put up with...]

[ooc: Been wanting to do a Poké-post for a while. Anyhow, Riku's team will handle the replies for a while, at least until 'ku gets back.]

Yeah, something like that.

Well, are you a good enough actor?

I-diot. If she was a ghost, she wouldn't be my trainer now!

It's more than that. The thing is, Riku's pretty attentive. With a huge level gap, it'd be kind of suspicious.

[It's a tough call. It is possible to lose, even at a level advantage... Hrm.]

It does sound rather tempting...

[Slash smirks, rubbing his claws together. Even Gear's bobbing his head in anticipation. But then... Well, Blade doesn't seem near as happy, given the way she's scowling.]

[Sorry, Flare, but Blade's gonna steal that 'gear now.]

But fighting's good for us! It makes us stronger, and sometimes we learn new attacks!

I don't know. Some ghosts have hands! She could still hold a Poké--

[WHAM. Flare's tail hits him right in the head, and he takes the Pokégear back.]

Better to have a trainer that worries than one that over exerts himself.

[Gear pouts and nods.]



[Yeah, Flare's just gonna facepalm over here. Silly bird.]

I would, but most of them are in the PC. It's not like I can get them outta there on my own.

Umm... Sooometimes? Or they're with the funny guy that has a nest for hair! A spiky nest.

Right. I guess we'd need some way to distract him as well...or something like that.

Stat problems might help a little. Even level doesn't make you immune to 'em.

Name one place that has level 90 Pokémon.

[Lineface. :|]

And Riku hasn't even faced the Elite Four yet.

[He sighs.]

The fact is, all we have to work with are the Pokémon in the Routes. I don't want to quit training... just slow down a bit. And I do think he's going overboard by making us use our strongest attacks on them.

Right. Pence might be able to help then...he's a water type. And you can fly, right?

I would encourage speaking with him, then, once your trainer fetches him from the computer. If you could possibly reason with him, that would likely bring you the best outcome.

Of course, if he refuses to reason, boycotting your training is also an option. You would, however, need the cooperation of the entire team.

Is that's what's wrong with your trainer? Hm...

That was a nice shot! 10 points.

Yuh-huh, Damn Rat's always trying to attack our trainer, and so is Carp. Why can't everyone just be nice?
