[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! ♥)
