24th - video/action for Olivine;

[islandshore]

[When the feed starts up, it's upside-down, but there's a clear shot of a very angry Riku standing next to a large pile of exhausted Pokémon including a very large Charizard, Feraligatr, Nidoking, Scizor, Lucario, and a Rotom, which manages to float over to the Gear and slowly lift it up.

Riku, however, looks less than impressed.]

Get back up! You can't just sit there.

[The Pokémon groan and shift a little, but alas, they're just too exhausted to keep going.]

C'mon. You're going to keep fighting, you got that? I don't care how tired you are.

[There's a sad sounding vrrrrrm from Surge, who hovers over to Riku.]

See? If Surge can do it, so can--

[Aaaand then the Gear falls. Looks like even Surge didn't have the energy to keep going.]

Can't believe this...

[After a moment, he scoops up the Gear and shuts it off. Those in Olivine are free to see this unpleasant display. A little while after his defeat, Riku's going to be working his team incredibly hard, putting them up against each other.

Someone's a sore loser, to say the least.]

[...Oh boy. Rise, too?

He'll have to remind Surge not to play around with the Gear later.]

What?

Give them a break already! They're already at their limit.

[Oh, this is interesting. Riku's Scizor... appears to be trying to stand, shaking her pincers at the screen and making a slew of horrible, high pitched-- albeit exhausted shrieks. Apparently she doesn't like Rise's attitude.

Riku just sighs.]

Don't tell me how to handle my team.

Have you even looked at them?

[ sorry, Scizor, Rise isn't fazed. ]

[Shriiiiek, shriiiiek! She's still... trying to look tough. Not working out so well.

Riku still looks pretty darn frustrated.]

Yeah. So? A few hyper potions will get them back on their feet.

... Riku... would you say that about your friends?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

You're comparing Pokémon to my friends?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

They're working this hard for you!

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Still. There's a difference between my friends and my team.

They're not pets or weapons, Riku.

I train them for battles, so they might as well be.
