015 [ video / action ] (action for Violet City )

[ Snake had never been to one of Falkner's Aerial Shows. He wasn't sure if this had been an option when he'd first come here, but now that he was here, and with a new Pokémon to boot, it seemed like a pretty good idea to go see.

After all, he'd be taking this guy on someday. Probably not immediately, but it'd happen. The old soldier invited Otacon along with him, since he knew that Otacon would like to see an Aerial Show featuring Pokémon.

Snake wasn't sure how many people around the region had seen Falkner's show, so he left his Gear recording the show. Had there been a sign against it? Hell if he knew, he didn't really care.

So the show went on, Falkner expertly ordering his Flying-Types to soar through the sky, performing various tricks to please and wow the audience. On Snake's shoulder sat his newest Flying-Type, a level 7 Starly. It chirped in delight as it watched the show. Snake looked over at Otacon. ]

If you ask me, this guy's just showing off... Since he's the Gym Leader here. If you challenged him, you wouldn't have to pay to watch his Pokémon fly around... Though I guess if you lost, you'd lose some money.

[ Looking toward the gear, Snake asked a question. ] Not sure what to call this bird... It's a Starly, and a female, according to my Pokédex. Any ideas for a nickname?

Yeah, but I'm not so sure I'd want to call her Ariel.

[ Snake's known for having poor choice in names, and Ariel is too good for him. ]

Well, if it reminds you of a mermaid, it's probably not something suitable for your style.

[imthe_shit]

Yea, not really what I was going for.

Thanks for the input, though.

[soundmind]

No problem. I hope you can think of something for her soon.

So, are you going to challenge Falkner?

[video]

[imthe_shit]

Eventually.

I'm pretty sure my team would get thrashed right now... They need more practice, and so do I. I might climb up that Tower again, get some battle practice in.

[soundmind]

You want to be prepared for certain, right? [Duh, Maka, that's what practice implies.] If you don't have any Electric types, you should probably get some, you can get Mareep on the way out of Violet.

[imthe_shit]

I have an Electric Type, but he's level 100... He doesn't do much other than give me static-shocks from his aggressive hugging.

If I got all the badges, then he'd listen to me, but that's a long time from now... And I don't have the heart to put him in a box just yet.

[soundmind]

At least you know that he likes you and isn't doing it because he wants to hurt you. I'd still recommend getting a Mareep, he can help with training it up and you'll be ready to fight Falkner before you know it!

Hnn...

Aren't there any Electric Types around that aren't sheep? I had a Magnemite the last time I was here... Can't remember where the hell I got him.

[video]

[soundmind]

...What's wrong with sheep? [They're cute enough if you're into that sort of thing.]

[video]

[imthe_shit]

It's not that there's anything wrong with them...

I just feel like having two of the same evolutionary-chain is kind of... Redundant. [ Sigh. ] Looks like I might not have a choice though.
