Entry #B-9: "Brutalize" [Video, Violet City]
[The camera flicks on midway through a battle. It appears to be held at about Gengar-height. A frozen-solid Honchkrow crashes to the ground, and Gengar cackles and raises the feed to L and his Froslass. They both look stricken, and maybe a little guilty.]
Falkner is doing is best to take it in stride.]
"Ha! No matter! It's my strongest pokemon's turn to shine! GO PIDGEOT!"
[With a flourish, the gym leader sends out a level 35 Pidgeot. L bites his lip.]
Gamine, use... Powder Snow...
[She does so. Very, very carefully. But the level 80 Froslass is more than twice as strong as Falkner's toughest, and even though the attack appears relatively gentle, it's about 2 full seconds before the Pidgeot is, likewise, crashing to the ground. Falkner sighs, approaching L and handing him the badge, which L plucks from his palm with his thumb and forefinger.]
"Congratulations. This is the Zephyr Badge. That was really a close fight!"
[L gives him a deadpan stare.]
No. It wasn't. Please heal your pokemon, and next time at least consider forfeiting when the chance is offered to you.
[His Froslass is drifting over to the fainted Pidgeot. She reaches out a little hand to poke at its limp body.]
[OOC: The badge. It's that thing. Mod-approved. Keep calm and carry on~]
