21 - video/action for Blackthorn City and later Ecruteak;;
[It's been a rough few days for Riku. He made it through the ice cave quickly, thanks to Flare's fire power and Jaws' speed, but he's still exhausted. Traveling alone just isn't the same as going with a group, especially when you're stuck in a chilly cavern

That's an impressive display of combat and strategy. So many different types of pokemon I've never seen before.

When Riku responds, he smirks. Aw yeah, his team's awesome.]
Thanks. I figured I'd try something a little different this time.

[And the second question is out of Sasha's mouth before he realizes it.] So, does obtaining all 8 badges allow people to return home? I've been told that gym battles are important, but I figured that's the reason why.

[He shakes his head and shrugs.]
This just proves the theory's bogus.

[He sighs, uncertain if he even wants to battle in gyms now that the rumor is dispelled.]
My apologies if I'm asking you so many questions. I just arrived in this place a few days ago, so things are still new to me.

[And at this point, a part of him wouldn't mind if it meant seeing his friends again.
But his home's so boring. Blah.]
Anyway, don't worry about it. New people show up all the time.

[He just nods calmly, clearly unfazed or deterred from discovering another way home.]
Thank you for your patience. Forgive me for being rude and not introducing myself; I'm Sasha Nein.

[He pauses, as he glances at some of his other Pokémon. Namely, a Haunter and Rotom. They'll be useful for taking on pesky birds while he's flying back to town.]
Anyway, it sounds like you already know a few things about this place.

[Sasha spots the two ghost types in the background and is tempted to scan them with the poke'dex. He skips out on the idea, fearing it'll be rude.]
I've been given the cliff-notes version, but any complex strategies are completely new to me. Like which pokemon to catch and things like that. You seem to know lots about combat...what do you recommend in terms of training pokemon?
Reply
You'll want at least a flying type, and and electric or rock type to start out with. As for training, I try to battle every day. Get enough training in, and you can usually get about five levels a week.
[He could go on, but he doesn't want to explain too much at a time.]

So a flying and rock type will probably be my next types to catch, since I fortunately started with a lightning type here. As for a consistent schedule, I suppose that would be best for my pokemon. Nothing too harsh or too easy on them.
[Sasha nods in appriciation, although he has one more quick question.] Which pokemon were those that you used in the gym battle?
Reply
[A pause, as he turns glances back at his Haunter-- guh. What's he doing with that silly string and where did it even come from? Darn ghost.]
Anyway, I used a Charizard, a Garchomp, and a Feraligatr. All three of them are fully evolved Pokémon.
Reply
[Sasha perks up at seeing the Haunter being a silly little trickster and just shrugs his shoulders.] It seems like that ghost pokemon of yours is a prankster. As for the other pokemon you mentioned, is it wrong of me to desire a strong teammate like yours? Maybe I'm getting over my head from the start...
Reply
[And now that silly string is getting all over the Aerodactyl's head... Whoops!]
Reply
[He blinks at the Haunter and is just watching the scene.]
Riku, my apologies, but it seems like your ghost pokemon is bothering another pokemon of yours.
Reply
[He turns around, and--]
Gyaaaaaaaarrrr!
[Terror's snapping her jaw and flapping her wings, while Phantom floats around, spraying more string at her.]
Phantom, c'mon!
[Yes, he's trying to pull his Ghost back, only for the Haunter to snatch the Gear and spin it around with one of his floaty hands. Alriiiight!]
