[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.]

What, you want the unfair advantage? Beating on those who aren't your level seems so dark for a keyblade wielder. [It's a good thing he's got his armor on by now, because Vanitas is quick to swipe a hand up and send one of those metal pincers up into the air.

Spinning on his foot and kicking sharply at the skinniest part on the Pokemon, he aims at sending it back while his Sneasel does a quick swords dance before coating her claws in ice and swiping at the Scizors eyes. Freezing them shut plox?]

Hasn't stopped me from winning the badges.

[Shriiiiiek. Might not be effective, but it's cold, and Blade does not appreciate cold things.

Two can play at this game! Time for a Swords Dance of her own, followed by X-Scissor!]

By completely bulldozing them. I suppose brute force is all anyone really needs though, huh? [With Void still in close range, she delivers a swift low kick to knock Blade off her feet; and Vanitas simply darts past the Pokemon battle to approach Riku.]

I have to say, there's been something about you that reminds me of someone.

You really think brute strength is all I use? When I'm up against a real challenge, that's when I strategize. Gym Leaders aren't worth the effort.

[So that's how it's gonna be, huh? Then Blade's just gonna have to use more Double Team and agility. Just trying to knock her out won't do.]
