37th feather [video/action] backdated to Monday morning
[What is the first thing a person does when their ferry reaches Cianwood after three days of sailing? Go to the Pokemon Center? Inn? Probably, but not Crow; the fiery little bird stormed right to the local gym instead, ready to face its leader...]
--OI! I'm talking to ya!!
[... only to find him too busy with his waterfall training to even hear him. The duelist is currently standing in the middle of the gym, stamping his feet impatiently. The roar of the waterfall makes it difficult to hear what he's saying, even though the 'Gear is right next to him.]
We're not getting anywhere that way. Black Lance, you stay here.
[And off he goes, up the stairs, disappearing from the screen. After a few minutes pass, the water suddenly stops flowing, which finally catches Chuck's attention.]
Ooomph! The pounding waterfall right onto my head... Who...
[Before he can finish the sentence, Crow lands right in front of him with a smug look on his face.]
There we go.
Arrgh! Why did you stop the waterfall from pouring on me!
Glad you asked! My name's Crow Hogan and I'm here to challenge you to a du-- [...aaaawkward pause.] --to a Pokemon battle!
Very well! I have to warn you that I am a strong Trainer training every day under this waterfall!
... You do realize it's got nothing to do with Pokemon, right?
... That's true! ... ... Come on. We shall do battle!
Sure! Though I'm kinda in a hurry -- I haven't had breakfast yet -- so how 'bout we finish it in... 2 minutes?
... Wahaha! A confident one, I see! Fine then! Three Pokemon, two minutes! Is that okay?
Nah, that'd be too easy... I'm only gonna use one Pokemon.
I like your style, young man! I accept your challenge; I do hope you realize I won't go easy on you! Go, Hitmonlee!
[Crow responds with a devilish grin.] Oh, it wouldn't be fun if you did! Black Lance!
[The Murkrow faces his first opponent bravely... and it doesn't take long until the Hitmonlee lies defeated. The combination of type and level advantage is indeed deadly. The Hitmonchan isn't much of a challenge for the bird, either. The Poliwrath puts up a better fight, but can't defend from the fast Flying-type attacks any longer and exactly 1 minute 56 seconds later, the battle is over, obviously ending with Crow's victory.]
Hmm... I lost? How about that! All right. You're worthy of the Storm Badge!
Damn straight I am! They don't call me Crow the Bullet for nothing, y'know.
Your strength is quite impressive! How about training together with me for a while?
Sorry, maybe next time. Like I said, I'm in a hurry--
[Poor Crow cannot explain himself properly, as Chuck grabs his wrist and starts dragging him away.]
Wahahaha! Nonsense! Such potential cannot be wasted! Food can wait, but training -- NEVER!
Eh? Wha-- Wait, no, I don't wannaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH--!!!
[The 'Gear drops to the ground, only showing the gym's ceiling. Meanwhile, a loud SPLASH sound comes off screen, and the roar of waterfall resumes.]
