Mk III, use Thunderbolt! [ When the feed flicks on, Old Snake is battling against Falkner, Violet City's Gym Leader. It looks like it's the final round, with Falkner not doing so well... He's using his Pidgeot to try and defeat Old Snake, but the electric attacks are just too powerful. Not to mention in the prior rounds, Solid managed to crush Falkner's other two Pokemon. ]

Magneton. Mag!! [ a bolt of awesome power was suddenly flung forward from Mk III and hit Pidgeot full force, causing the bird to shriek in pain, before knocking it out quite easily. Suddenly, the cameraman began to trill excitedly, letting out happy 'Chiiick!' sounds. ]

No way! I can't believe I lost to this Old Guy!




....

[ Snake bowed his head, shoulders sagging somewhat. ] Old, huh...

Maaagneee? [Falkner grins, returning Pidgeot to its ball before walking over to the old soldier, and handing him the Zephyr Badge.] Here. You've deserved this. Your flying types are now able to use Fly outside of battle, too. It's handy for getting to places you've already been. Congratulations, you've earned this!

... Hnn. [Taking the Zephyr badge, Snake turned and held it out for the cameraman WHO IS NOT OBVIOUS to see. Another cheer of trills. Snake actually looks pretty satisfied, a small smile present on his face.]

I guess it's time to head back to Goldenrod. [ Looks to Mk III, then Sunny-ER-the Cameraman. ] Or how about Azalea?

Hi there Snake! You got a badge, huh? [She is so impressed!] Congratulations!

[And then...] Uh...Your friend Miller said you should contact him! [She doesn't know that there are multiple Snakes obv. :'D] I'll bet he'll think you're cool now! [She knows she is.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Nods, taking the Gear from Sunny.]

Miller... [BUT I'M SELF-CONSCIOUS D:]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Kazuhira Miller he said!

[She leans forward, hands behind her back] So are you happy about your win? It looked like you knew exactly what to do...You're pretty cool!

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Hnn... Pretty cool, huh? [Psyche Gauge fills]

lj wtf

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Yep~ Battling with Pokemon is pretty hard compared to how I fight at home...And I don't have any badges yet! [Pout.] But I guess I'll just have to try my best! Any tips?

[Larxene has been keeping an eye on the PGC to learn more about this new world- especially the battling parts. Getting sent on pointless recon missions back in the Organization taught her something after all.]

So there are electric Pokemon.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there are. [ He's never seen her before, but he's not nearly as outgoing as he could be... ]

[shocksandawes.livejournal.com]

[she's also new here]

Where can I get one of those?

video

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I caught mine in New Bark Town, but I don't know if they're there anymore... It was a while ago.

[shocksandawes.livejournal.com]

Oh? I just left there. Maybe I should go take a look.

[After she meets up with Marlu, of course.]

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Well done, Snake. Perhaps I should pay Azalea a visit as well...

[voice]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The last time I was in Azalea, there wasn't any snow... I wonder how the Slowpoke are doing.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Surely, they can adapt to the weather.

[voice]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I know there's a well around there... Maybe they're all down there.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Either way, I am certain that they can get by.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Dammit! Now you're ahead of me!

_{[... What, no 'congratulations'?]}

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hheh. [Tilts his head.] If you can beat Whitney, we'll be even. But now that I can fly back to Goldenrod on Chicken, do you want to come with me or stick around?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Hmph. I bet I can beat her before you even get back!

<sub>[Yeah, right. Heather's Pokemon need to get back in shape.]

[The question makes her pause a little.]</sub>

... Uh...

... I'm not sure.

<sub>[... Most of her friends had left Goldenrod by this point, and she had to admit... it was a little bit lonely. A few months spent here with everybody had gotten her used to them all being around.]

[Although, James and Mary had just arrived...]

[... But then there was the matter of Cybil]

[And Heather really, really wanted to meet Cybil.]</sub>

... I, uh... I'll get back to you on that, okay?

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Got it. You let me know when you come to a decision.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Sure thing.

_{[If she has to travel with anybody, Snake's company isn't objectionable at all. But Heather's got some shit to do first, apparently.]}

[Landon watches carefully, interested in this new form of dueling. Once it's over, his comfortable Southern drawl calls out. He may be a tad loud, as if he's not convinced that he'll be heard when the other man is so far away.]

So that's a Pokemon battle. Looks like you've got a talent with it, sir.

[When Snake sees the man on the other side of the feed, his instincts kick right in.]

LIQUID!

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Oh wait... No. This wasn't Liquid Ocelot. That drawl clues him in, plus he knew that Ocelot loved Cowboys, but... He wasn't one for the hats. And that mustache was much bushier than he was used to... Looks like he was wrong.]

Ahh... [How does one cover for that?] Sorry... Thought you were someone else...

[Video]

[seen-everything.livejournal.com]

[Landon starts at the unexpected reaction, hand at his empty holster faster than most people would expect. Momentary alarm grips him as his fingers close around nothing, but it quickly subsides at the other man's words]

I'd hate to be someone else, then. Who's this "Liquid" fella?

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Hnn... Just somebody from my world... [Somebody he shouts loudly at.] You and him look alike...
