18 - video/action for Olivine;

[islandshore]

[The first part of the broadcast begins with a shot insdie the Olivine City gym, courtesy of Riku's Scizor! Yep, it's that time again. Riku's even got his Charizard out, ready to toast Jasmine's Skarmory in a single hit.

Just like with Bugsy, Flare takes out his opponent before it has a chance to fight back. However, when Jasmine sends out her Magneton, Flare steps back. That's right, folks. Riku's sending another Pokémon into the fray-- this time his Garchomp.

The battle between Quake and Magneton lasts a little longer, due to the two being closer to the same level. However, with the resistance to electricity and the type advantage, Quake's use of Dig and Sand Tomb finishes the oversized magnet before long.

Finally, it's a showdown between Ace the Lucario and Jasmine's Steelix. Once again, there's a type advantage, and Ace manages to finish the job with a single Close Combat. After some high-pitched shrieking from Blade the Scizor, the feed ends!]

[Sometime after the battle, Riku can be seen by the beach of Olivine city, surrounded with... a lot of powerful Pokémon. Flare, Quake, Ace, and Blade are all there, along with Gaia the Tyranitar and Slash, who is now a Weavile. After a nice closeup of the Weavile's face, Slash sets the Gear back down and scurries over to his trainer. He'll take it from here.]

You know, I'm running out of challenges here. Most of my team's above level 50, they're all evolved except Phantom, and that last battle was a cakewalk.

I need a serious battle, something that'll test my limits. Quick gym battles are nice and all, but I won't get any better by facing them.

[In other words, he wants some new rivals, not that he'll say it outright. But once he's made his statement, Riku closes the feed. For the next hour or so, he'll be hanging around the beach with his Pokémon. Feel free to spot him at any time!]

[ooc: Yes, the badge was mod approved.]

[OH LOOKIE. LOTS AND LOTS OF POKEMON. FANTASMA THE MISDREAVUS WILL JUST FLY OVER AND SAY HI.

Does the trainer know this? Unfortunately.]

Fantasma. Come back. [Annoyed. Very much so.]

[Hello, ghost! Have a high pitched SHRIIIIII! from Riku's Scizor. The other Pokémon don't look quite as thrilled, though.

In fact, Quake's shooting a nasty glare at Fantasma and showing off those sharp teeth of his. Luckily, Riku's around to keep an eye on them.]

Knock it off, guys.

[Shiho runs over, and grabs her Misdreavus to keep her from causing any more trouble.]

It's all right. It was no fault of theirs.

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Maybe not, but somebody has to keep them in line.

[Especially with the way Quake's growling and thrashing his claws in the air.]

Hey.

[Walking his Kingler along the beach and just so happens to spot Riku chilling.]

--Oh! Hello there, Riku-san!

[Well then! He didn't expect to see Cruz here.]

Hey.

[He smirks, shifting around a little-- mainly because Blade won't let go of him. Silly bug.]

Heh~ It's good to see you getting along with your party. I figured you would be here since Sora-san and Kairi-san were here too.

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

You seem rather young. Are you sure it is wise of you to be quite so confident already?

[voice]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Does it matter how old I am? I've got six level 100 Pokémon and two more who are getting close. I think I'm entitled to some confidence.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Still... Some caution is always advised.

... They're all over level fifty?

[How do these kids even do this?]

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Except my Aerodactyl, but she only hatched a few months ago. Most are at or above level eighty.

[He sounds very smug when he says this; comes from being in Johto for a year.]

[video]

[eidolonracing.livejournal.com]

Eighty, huh...

[Just. Speechless for a moment.]

How long have you been here?

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

How high over level fifty?

[Audio]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Got a few in the mid-50s and a couple more in the 80's. The rest are at or around level 100.

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

_{[.... okay. She'd expected like... maybe 70's at most. She is very behind.]}

... Holy shit.

I'd challenge you, but I'm even lower-leveled.

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't worry about it.

[Kairi, he could never be a big, mean trainer.]

I could just use my lower-leveled Pokémon, but it's not like we have to battle.

[action]

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

We need to find you a challenge, then!

[saltwaterwounds.livejournal.com]

Oh, Riku! Mama's never had a Pokémon battle. Maybe you should battle Champagne sometime. Do you remember him? The Kingler you helped me catch?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, I remember him. Wouldn't mind facing him at some point, though it'd probably be with one of my newer Pokémon. The rest are almost maxed out.

[saltwaterwounds.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see...but I'm warning you, he's super strong! His Guillotine kills all the Pokémon around here, and I'm learning to ride him.

Not like we didn't already know that the gym leaders are all pushovers.

Where're you at right now?

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Olivine City. Probably gonna hit Cianwood to get the badge, but then I'll be back here for a while.

[video]

[sharkfoodbound.livejournal.com]

Heh. You'll get a better fight than those gym leaders when I catch up, but I'm stuck in Goldenrod for the time being.
