islandshore | 24th - video/action for Olivine;

[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.]

Yeah. I just don't want to go that far back. There's probably a book on battle strategies that covers it.

[It's possible, anyway.]

There could be. I mean, it's a really big part of this world...

So big that practically everything revolves around it.

Yep, even the things people wear.

Man, don't get me started on PokéManiacs.

[Crazy trainers with their crazy cosplay.]

...One of those guys tried to run off with Bolt once.

[Naturally Bolt unleashed shocking fury and Ven chased the guy down. Two pronged attack!]

You think that's bad? One of them saw Terror and tried to catch her... until she started gnawing on him.

[More like trying to swallow, really.]

That must've hurt.

Yeah. I know what it's like.

[He holds up one of his scarred arms.]

...Ouch, Riku. You're gonna worry Sora and Kairi sick if you collect marks like that.

[He sighs, brushing back some of his hair.]

Not much I can do about it. Terror attacks anything that moves-- people or Pokémon. I've held her back a few times, but it's a pain.

Maybe there's some way to teach her that it's not okay to do that.

If nothing else, you know Zephyr can make her sleep, right? He's only too happy to sing anyhow.

Yeah, but sleeping won't change her behavior. Sometimes I have Phantom use Hypnosis on her, and all it does is knock her out.

Maybe we just need to figure out why she's acting that way.

I don't think it's that simple. Terror isn't like my other Pokémon. Not even close.

[She behaves more like a wild beast than anything.]

Isn't that all the more reason to figure there's a cause to it?

Guess so, but I doubt there's anyone here who can handle prehistoric Pokémon behavior.

So maybe you'll be the very first one.
