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.]

Of course I'm the most important thing they have.

[He figured that was... pretty obvious, really. And while Leon does have some good points, Riku's pride is getting in the way of accepting his words. He's stubborn and doesn't want to just roll with it. Especially after losing that match.]

It's been more than a year without any real consequences. What's the worst that could happen?

[ Leon's mouth thins. He hadn't honestly expected that to get through to Riku, but...a guy can hope. ]

I don't know, Riku, you tell me. You've seen what they can do. [ He lets that sink in for a second. ]

Like they'd actually attack me.

[Other than Terror, but he just assumes she's got mental issues.]
