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.

[Filtered to PGC]

Listen up. This is urgent.

I just got back from investigating Saffron City. Turns out Cobra Commander launched an attack on the gym, and that's not all. He was using Pokémon attacks.

Yeah. I'm just going to let that sink in.

I don't know what Team Rocket's up to, but if one of their members can use Pokémon attacks, what does that say about the rest of them? The fact that he attacked one of the Gyms doesn't settle well, either. I managed to jump in during his attack, and my team held him off for the most part, but the place is still a wreck, and he got away.

Just stay on guard. I don't know what they're planning, but things are getting too weird for my tastes.

If anyone else has news from Goldenrod or any of the other cities, I'd be glad to hear it.

[The rest of the day, Riku will be trying to rest up over at the Center. Last thing he needs is to worry his friends any more than he already has. Between his injuries, the violent red blotches of skin, his light headednesss and now what feels like weird bumps on his head, something's... definitely amiss.]

[ooc: Takes place a few hours after the Saffron Gym attack. Tags will be slow, since I still have backtags to get through here and in other games, but I figured it'd be good to throw this up.]

I know now's probably not the right time given what's going down in Goldenrod, but there's a few things I want to cover real quick.

First, welcome to any newcomers. This place can be a real handful, so hopefully you're settling in without too much trouble. To help you guys out, I've got something that'll make your life a whole lot easier.

Training for Dummies

That's right. I went ahead and updated my guide from a few months back. The update includes an overview of all sixteen gym leaders and my own personal tips after going through them all. Also includes a much-needed overhaul to the evolution section, confirmation that, no, the Elite Four and Gym Leaders can't send us home, and other small tweaks.

If you're new or just want a refresher on this place, go ahead and check it out here.

With that out of the way, I'm planning on opening up a Training Center pretty soon. ( Training Center Summary + Rental Deets )

That's it for now, but before I call it day, here's a question for you guys: How do you feel about feeding Pokémon eggs to other Pokémon? Especially when it's a major part of their diet, like with Sneasel and Weavile.

[With that out of the way, Riku closes his 'Gear and proceeds to wander around Cherrygrove for a while. He'll be spending a lot of time near the beach alongside his oversized Charizard as well as his Serperior, Zoroark, Treecko, Sandile, and Luxio. None of these guys are in their balls, so they'll probably stand out a fair bit.

When they're not lazing by the beach, they can be found sparring with one another. From time to time, Riku will even hop up on Flare's back and soar around town. Want to bump into him? He'll be just about anywhere.]

[The feed starts out pretty tame. Two Garchomps duke it out using a variety of moves ranging from Outrage to Earthquake. The smaller of the two lets out a series of roars and continuously throws himself at Bahamut, but while he does land some decent hits, his hot-headed behavior leads to his downfall. As the fight wears on, Quake ends up getting knocked around by Bahamut, and his attempts to counter do little against his opponent's higher speed.

Eventually, he topples over with a pitiful growl. For the next few moments, he's motionless.

Meanwhile, Bahmut lets out a triumphant roar over his victory. Bigger dragon wins! In his excitement at besting another dragon, Bahamut turns over to his trainer and nearly barrels over Xion, who laughs and tries to pat his head. Good going, Bahamut!

While Riku smirks and heads over to Xion to congratulate her, Quake doesn't seem to share their enthusiasm. He lets out another growl, pushes himself to his feet and trudges ever so slowly over to the two of them. While they're busy basking in their victory, he raises his claws, and once he gets close enough, launches himself onto Bahamut's back with the intent of knocking him over.]

--wah?!

( Dragon mauling under the cut! )

[Shortly after the feed, a text appears, courtesy of Phantom:]

so. Riku was gonna brag about how he got all the Kanto badges and how the Elite Four can't send you home but I think he's a little busy right now. heh heh heh.

but do you see what I see? ♥ somebody tell them to pucker up...

when they're not being torn apart by dragons.

[ooc: Video responses will come from Riku and Xion once they've hit the Center. If you wanna do stuff with Phantom before they get patched up, that's cool too. :|b]

islandshore: (Rival Riku wants to battle!)
[Well, after backtracking to Olivine for a few days, Riku and Ven are back in business over in the wonderful land of Kanto. So, today's broadcast begins in the Cerulean Gym, where Riku's poised and ready to go against Misty and her team of water types. He's got six powerful Pokémon by his side, including a Haunter, a Rotom, a Dragonite, a Garchomp, a Lucario, and... a Charizard?

Well, the first Pokémon Riku sends out his his Rotom, surge, while Misty calls for her Floatzel...]

( Click here for battle details! )

[The video starts up again outside the Gym, with Riku's Pokémon close by. He holds up the badge for a moment and grins before leaning back against the frame of the door.]

So, that's four Kanto badges down, and four Elite Teams for good measure. Not bad, if you ask me.

[He tosses the badge up and down.]

Anyway, here's a question to you guys. What do you think is more important? Using the right types and powerful Pokémon or using a Pokémon that's important to you, even if the odds are against it?

And what are your thoughts on evolution?

[With that, he'll be exploring the city and gathering supplies. After all, he and Ven intend to hit Mt. Moon before long, which means they'll need to get their act together. It could be a long trip.

Should anyone else be around town, they'll find him surrounded by his team of six, all of which are rather large, except Surge. It's hard to miss a guy surrounded by an oversized Charizard, Garchomp, and Dragonite, after all.]

... I'm tired of this.

[The feed starts up with a kind of exhausted looking Riku leaning over the edge of his bed in the Inn. In the background, an angry looking Dragonair proceeds to let out a series of scratchy roars while whipping a Deino in the face. Riku cringes, looks over his shoulder and groans.]

Slash, do something about them.

[There's some ice flying into the two dragons, and Riku turns his attention back on the screen.]

I think I've been here for so long that Johto's just plain dull. I'm tired of hanging around here; there are still gyms to beat back in Kanto. Sora, Ven... you think we can get moving soon? I'd hate to fall behind.

[There's a long pause before he says anything else. That stinking Dragonair lets out another roar and attempts to wrap himself around Riku's Weavile. At that point, Riku reaches for one of his Pokéballs.]

So, it's been about two years since I got here. Who else is left from that first batch? And how do you guys feel about being here for so long?

[And one last thing, which he'll switch to text for.]

And for you newcomers, don't forget to check out this training guide. It explains most of the basics around here.

[With that, he'll be hanging around the inn, wandering through town, and doing some training along the routes with his ridiculous dragons. Feel free to encounter him in person if that tickles your fancy.]
