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.]

[Grumblegrumble. Darn you people and your good points.]

They'll get a break as soon as they win.

You're pushing them because they lost a battle?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

That's right. They need to step it up.

If you push them too much, it's not just them getting tired you should worry about.

What, you think they'll turn on me?

[babel_hacker]

If it comes to that. I wouldn't be surprised if their lose their trust in you and stop following orders in battle...and outside of it.

[His Scizor hisses from behind, trying to look all tough despite her exhaustion. Stop saying mean things about Riku!]

Relax, Blade. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Look, I'm just saying my concerns. [Not really that frightened by the Scizor. Exhaustion cuts down on the threatening factor.]

That's nice and all, but I've made it this far without going soft. I think I can manage.
