[ Video ; Action ]

[imthe_shit]

[ Snake's outside of Whitney's Gym, leaning against the wall and having a smoke. He's looking as he always does- bundled up (aside from not having a hat on his head) and grumpy. There appears to be a medium sized tortoise crawling around his feet... the thing's up to his knees, and quite warm. As Snake exhales smoke from his cigarette, the tortoise does the same, except from its nostrils and shell.

... It's kind of cute, actually. They both look similar right now.

Snake takes out his PokeGear, leaving a video message. ]

That's one Gym Leader out of the way... Didn't think she'd cry so much when I beat her, though... She nearly trounced me with that cow of hers. Chicken and Sunny finished it, but Solid did most of the battling before Milktank knocked him out.

Anyway... Wasn't bad. I got the Plain Badge anyhow.



... Oh.

My egg hatched... [ He peers down, bringing the video with him to show the Pokemon scuffling around his feet and blowing smoke. ] This guy's a walking furnace... I've called him Marlboro. [ SNAKE YOUR JOKES SUCK ]

I guess if I go back to Violet now, I can take on Falkner... Shouldn't be too bad with Solid anyway. Over and out.

Yeah, well, she's still too old to be a huge crybaby every time she loses...

_{[Big talk for someone who hasn't actually tried to fight her yet.]}

Maybe it's part of her contract. [Shrug.] Have you fought her yet? She's really tough. I lost against her once already... Her Milktank's hard to beat.

[foolishwren]

Me?

Uh-- .... no, actually.

_{[She sounded a little sheepish.]}

Been busy with other stuff, I guess...

Hn. [ Takes in a drag from his cigarette, then exhales and blows smoke away from Heather, Marlboro doing the same. ]

That's okay. You've already beat a Gym Leader, this is my first win, I guess this makes us even now?

[foolishwren]

Yeah, I guess it does.

_{[Then she smirks.]}

Betcha I can get my next badge before you do.

You're probably right about that. [RUINS EVERYTHING] It took me this long to get my first, after all.

[THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.]

[Heather slumps a little bit.]</sub>

.... Well, I still need to go back to Violet and kick Falkner's ass anyway...

Hmm, me too. [ Nods. ] I've heard about a short-cut that should get us there faster.
