Case 008: [video] Backdated to Dec 2nd

[fortunatewings]

[The feed turns on accidentally, to reveal Naoto in Blackthorn gym, challenging Clair.

The battle is mostly over, and there are an exhausted Xatu and collapsed Drifblim at Naoto's side.

Out on the battlefield is her battered Graveler, facing off against a tired-looking Dragonite.]

Now Hercule! End this!

Dragonite, dodge it![The Graveler uses

Rising Badge--? [that's one he hadn't heard of yet]

[video]

[fortunatewings]

[When she replies a couple hours later, she's soaked, tired, and has the badge. ...and a Dratini. She looks quite pleased.]

Mm, I found myself in Blackthorn after we "woke up."

[The way she says it makes it clear she doesn't believe the sleeping story]

[bakaitoukid]

[he looks amused, because he doesn't exactly believe the story either]

So that's what the gym in Blackthorn is called. And she uses dragon Pokemon?

[video]

[fortunatewings]

She does. Her Dragonite is at level 70.

[She shivers a little and the Dratini gives her a concerned look]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Is that her highest leveled Pokemon? If so, I bet we could take her.

[tilts his head] You look like you might wanna find someplace warm, too.

[fortunatewings]

She also has Gyarados and Kingra, at slightly lower levels. It was a difficult battle, though, as all of mine share a weakness to Ice.

[Shiver shiver] Yes, I should return to the inn here.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[... shudders at the mention of a Gyarados, but nods]

And put on some dry clothes.

[video]

[fortunatewings]

[She blushes a little in spite of the chill] Yes... that too. I will be back presently.

[The feed cuts off for about a half hour before it comes back to show Naoto dry and warm and surrounded by her team. The Dratini isn't her only new addition; she has a Skarmory now too.]

That is much better; I apologize for the wait.

Great! Wouldn't want you catching a cold or anything.
