Day 11 - [Video] | [Action] for Olivine

[Once again, Asterisk and Fortran are doing their recording duty for Atsuro. The video feed is now showing the end of a Pokemon battle round. Not just any battle, but a gym battle with Jasmine of Olivine Gym. Atsuro got Pascal the Growlithe out, who's standing victorious and proud near an unconscious Magneton.]

Properly tempered steel won't be made rusty by things like this!

[Recalling Magneton, Jasmine send out her last Pokemon. Steelix.]

Whoa, he's huge... We'll see about that! You still can fight, Pascal? [Hearing an affirmative 'Growlithe!', Atsuro grin and give the order.] Pascal, use Flamethrower!

[Pascal runs fast toward the Steelix, breathing out fire once he's close enough. Lots and lots of fire. It's obviously very effective against the giant Pokemon, but it's still standing, although very weak.]

Rock Throw!

...! Dodge!

[Suddenly, Steelix is throwing around rocks everywhere on the battlefield, trying to hit its evasive opponent. Whoever's watching might hear a startled Clefairy's 'Clefairy!', almost muffled by the sound of falling rocks.

Atsuro's muttering to himself, watching his Growlithe try to get close enough for a Flamethrower.] Not close enough...Alright, HEAT WAVE!

[That seems to do the trick, finally knocking out Steelix. However, the heat seems to bother Atsuro a little.]

Al...alright!

Well done...

[While punching the air with his fist, Atsuro looks a bit dizzy. The recording quickly turns off, whether by accident or on purpose, it's hard to tell.]

-

[A while later, Atsuro reappear on the screen, looking much better than before. People might notice that he's at the Pokemon Center, and if they're there as well, a water bottle near him. He holds up a badge in his hand.]

Badge get! Pascal practically soloed the entire battle, everyone! Also, I got the Surf HM as well, but not the badge to use it outside of battle.

[Which seems to be the case for Atsuro, considering his sequence breaking. And yes, he's not mentioning his earlier dizzy spell.]

Gonna stay here in Olivine for a while before heading to Ecruteak, mostly so Pascal can rest up and relax from the battle.

(OOC: Badge is mod approved! ♥)

...You need an HM to surf on the water?

Yeah. I'm still wondering about the HMs, since Antec can swim.

And you can't ride him?

I can't, apparently. The attempts end up...well, making me wet.

Heh, that happens in water. Can't expect to stay dry.

No surprise there. Just didn't expected the attempt flipping me over into the water.

...On purpose or by accident?

By accident.

Somehow.

Too small for you?

Yeah...and I tried using a raft, but that didn't work.

...Wait, a raft won't work!?

Yeah, I know! [How hard can it be? Have a Pokemon use Surf to pull the raft and--] And I have no idea how it didn't work!

...That knocks out me having a ship.

I'll have to try again once I get the badge for using Surf.

Yeah, that might be a good idea! Probably easier to sail!

Right! Maybe there's something inside those badges that make the HMs work!

Whatever it is, it sure would be good to have the badge and the HM!

I'm going to make my way to the next gym for that badge!

...Once I'm ready and Pascal's rested up!

Keh! Good luck then!

You're catching up, Atsuro. Nice work.

Thanks. A bit out of order, but at least I know I can take on most of the other gyms. [Typically the fifth and sixth gym, as his first two gym challenges. WELP.]

I know the feeling. If I had Fly, I could probably take almost all of them by this point.

I got Fly, but not the badge to use it outside of battle. But once we meet up, you can borrow it.

... Hey, maybe you could send me something that already knows Fly...

You mean Vidofnir...while carrying the HM?

... Actually, I just meant a spare bird so I could fly to you on it.

But that's an idea...

You need the HM itself to teach one of your Pokemon to Fly over to me, anyway.

You really think this could work?

Won't know until we try, but yeah, I think so! I'm thinking that maybe the badge requirement only works for carrying humans around, not items.

Then I say we should get down to it as soon as we can.

Okay. I'll get it ready soon, so keep an eye out for a Fearow.

You've got it. Thanks, Atsuro.

. . . A reckless ending, Atsuro.

[what might've been approval's been pushed aside for the moment. way to let your guard down, apprentice.]

It won't happen again, Naoya.

[Atsuro didn't expected the heat to get to him this much in summer. A lot of fire was used in that battle.]

I would hope not, for your sake.

So how's things going? Is your Cleffa doing alright?

The same as they usually are. Unfortunately. [as for atsuro's second question, there is a very excited cleffa in the background. look at it, dancing on the table. naoya is trying very hard... to ignore it.]

[He smile when he notice it. D'aw, how cute.] Glad to see them doing well.

[She twirls at the compliment on Pascal the growlithe. Because they're name buddies, it applies to herself, as well!]

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all day. ♪

Hey, Pascal!

[Pascal the growlithe respond to the name, even if Atsuro's referring to the person. This could be confusing.]

Hey, Minor Error, and congratulations!

[She grins at the growlithe. How you doin', name buddy?]

It's Atsuro and thanks!

[Pascal is sitting down, wagging his tail. Doing pretty awesome, name buddy.]

How many badges do you have now?

[She sways side to side.]

I sure am a juggernaut, huh?

Two so far! Storm and Mineral, so I'm hoping to grab Ecruteak's next.

Oh really? I know Pascal is, but what have you done, Pascal?

I see, I see.

I'm a juggernaut because I'm a juggernaut! Self-explanatory, isn't it?

Can you prove it?

Sure, sure. I'll show you once we meet in person!
