islandshore: (RIKU used GLARE!)
Filtered to PGC and allies;

Listen up. I'm sure you all saw that little threat about "war" in Olivine, so I'm gonna say straight up: don't do anything rash. I bet you anything that he wants to lure us there. Thinks we'll be clueless enough to rush out and reveal ourselves with the smallest threat.

Now, those bombs aren't small by any means, but if we're gonna protect Olivine to the fullest, we need a plan. This isn't something we can charge into and expect an easy victory. With stuff like this, there's always a catch.

So my question for you guys is this: how many of you are dead set on going to Olivine? I think we should be careful about how many of our members we send. The last thing we need's to reveal all our cards at this stage, especially when we're still trying to rebuild the Corps. More importantly, we've got more to worry about than engaging this guy. What about evacuations? Giving the residents a heads up? The locals don't really keep tabs on the 'Gears from what I can tell. There's a few ways we can approach this.

So, I'm gonna open up the floor to any suggestions, plans, or whatever else you want to bring to the table. The PGC's a group effort, and every one of your opinions counts.

Video A, backdated to the event start;

[The feed clicks on revealing a very disgruntled Riku with his hair ruffled up, bags under his eyes, and a stiff expression as he fends off his vicious attacker!

Said attacker is one of the Zombie Archens, currently swooping at his head with a mouthful of sticks and giving a brood curdling Kraaaaa! as he swats it away.]

Seriously, quit it. My hair is not a nest.

[He raises his voice before addressing the camera.]


Say, anyone else end up with fossils before all this? Looks like that seance reached further than bonies buried under the ground; this thing used to be a hunk of rock sitting in my room. Now it's trying to--

[Kyaaaa! The Archen dives again, dropping some of the sticks. Ugh.]

Now it's trying to weave my hair into a mobile nest. Now, I know there are people with Archens out there. Please tell me there's a way to make them stop...

Video B/Action, backdated to 27th;

[When the attack intensifies and the more powerful Pokémon come out to play, Riku does something stupid. Namely, he marches out into the fray wielding nothing but a hunk of metal shaped like a giant key. Yup, he's trying to fight off vicious dino-zombies using nothing but his makeshift weapon.

A Kabutops swipes its blade at him, and he lunges to the side in order to dodge. Sneering, he smashes his weapon into its chest. It screeches upon impact, but just when it seems this crazy teen might have an edge. After parrying another slice, he knocks the beast upside the head...

And then there's a screech, followed by hissing. Riku looks up, only to get a face full of tentacles.

It would seem that the Omastar bomber squad has arrived, given the Aerodactyls dropping the buggers down from the sky. Before the feed ends, there's a shot of a Haunter snickering next to a circle of Aerodactyls giving the equivalent of dino laughter. Off screen, Riku can be heard shouting--]


Gah! Don't tell me you've been recording this whole time.

[The feed clicks off, but anyone in the Olivine area is free to stumble upon raining crustaceans.]
islandshore: (Rival Riku wants to battle!)
[The feed clicks on with some radical footage of two teenage boys cruising on waves. Some may recognize them as Sora and Riku, both of whom have forgone their usual attire for swim trunks. Now, at first everything seems fine and dandy, until a particularly gigantic wave sneaks up on them, smothering them and dunking them below the water's surface. A blastoise decked out in shades zips by, trying to contain her laughter. The feed ends momentarily.

Cue another feed with both boys performing noticeably better. Riku looks to the camera and flashes a smug grin. They perform a few more tricks before returning to the shore and addressing the network properly.]


[ the first to formally pop his head in direct veiw of the camera is Sora, shaking out the sea water from his hair. ]

So glad that the snow melted. I mean, I love snow and all, but having it ruin our beach plans wouldn't have been cool.

[In the background, a fairly disgruntled Weavile wanders by, slurping some sort of smoothie. He stops just long enough to address the feed with a fake, stuffy accent.]

Tsk. Frankly, I would have preferred an entire week of snow. This summer heat is simply too much.

[Suddenly Riku regrets bringing an ice type to town. Heaving a sigh, slips into view just a few seconds later, rolling his eyes at his Pokémon.]

Well, at least it's gone now. At any rate, if anyone's hanging around Olivine, Sora and I are setting up camp out here by the shore. If you don't mind some rough waves, feel free to drop by. We're planning on whipping up some barbeque in a bit.

[Those in the area are free to drop by Olivine's beach, where the two KH dorks will be hanging ten, among other things.]

Video/Action: Gym Battle )

[Sometime after the battle, Riku can be seen by the beach of Olivine city, surrounded with... a lot of powerful Pokémon. Flare, Quake, Ace, and Blade are all there, along with Gaia the Tyranitar and Slash, who is now a Weavile. After a nice closeup of the Weavile's face, Slash sets the Gear back down and scurries over to his trainer. He'll take it from here.]

You know, I'm running out of challenges here. Most of my team's above level 50, they're all evolved except Phantom, and that last battle was a cakewalk.

I need a serious battle, something that'll test my limits. Quick gym battles are nice and all, but I won't get any better by facing them.

[In other words, he wants some new rivals, not that he'll say it outright. But once he's made his statement, Riku closes the feed. For the next hour or so, he'll be hanging around the beach with his Pokémon. Feel free to spot him at any time!]

[ooc: Yes, the badge was mod approved.]
islandshore: (... let's not go there)
[Something very strange has happened to Riku, because he's stuck in this getup, and he doesn't look too happy about it.

Even worse? He's surrounded by Jigglypuffs, Cleffas, Chanseys, and other distinctly pink Pokémon. They won't go away, no matter how many times he tries to get rid of 'em.

And leave it to Phantom to record the whole thing.]


Okay, something's going on here. First of all, I'm stuck in the dumbest jump suit, and these Pokémon keep following me. Is this someone's idea of a joke?

[Those in Olivine can find him wandering around in his silly outfit as the Pokémon continue to follow him. Some even start singing... though not the attack, at least.]
