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.]

They're your partners, Riku! You don't treat your partners like that!

[Sora's into it before he even turns to Riku fully, waving a hand at the band of dispirited pokemon before stomping over and jabbing the other in the chest.]

Would you make me keep fighting like that? What about Kairi?

[He doesn't even need Riku to answer that. The answer for the former is yes, even if Riku doesn't know it.]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[... Okay, he wasn't expecting that jab. Neither was his team, and already his Scizor's shrieking like Mothra from Godzilla and snapping her pincers.

Riku, though. He's floored by this. Sora, comparing Pokémon to him and Kairi?]

Why would I keep you guys fighting? There's a difference between my friends and my Pokémon.
