[ it's the end to a typical Gym battle. Asuka's fighting against the Old Man of Winter-- er, Pryce, and it's a fierce battle indeed. She seems to be drawing it out, interested in seeing her opponent's strategies before she figures out the best way to counter it, and she's impressed by the time she calls for her Ninetales to put an end to it ( Read more... )

... I think that taking Bishamon and Uzume to see the Kimono Girls perform might have been more inspiring than I'd realized. They've been at this for quite some time now.

[ Asuka sounds quietly amused, and you'll see why when she turns the 'gear to capture... a Roselia and a Hitmontop, currently engaged in what looks to be an epic dance battle ( Read more... )

[ Asuka isn't one to brag, though after a particularly difficult fight with Chuck, she doesn't seem to have any trouble turning the 'gear on to let the network know. ]

The strategizing really does increase phenomenally as you go on, and with the levels... well, this makes the sixth.

[ aww yeah, look at that shiny Storm Badge. ] Everyone did ( Read more... )

There's something I'd like to discuss with you. Please contact me whenever it's convenient.

Currently, she's seated in the lobby of the Ecruteak inn with a Minun flopped on her shoulder and too engrossed in explaining something to a group of intrigued ( Read more... )

[ poke. Poke poke poke. There's a tiny paw prodding the screen and an inquisitive "Miiiii~?" as the owner of the paw draws back and you see a happily smiling Minun. And then he starts chattering happily at a very high speed. HI NETWORK HOW ARE YOU WHAT'S GOING ON MY TRAINER IS GOING SOMEWHERE AND I GET TO GO TOO OH BOY OH BOY WHO WANTS TO BE ( Read more... )

[ the feed begins with Asuka seated somewhere in Violet with a rather large Lapras egg in her lap, while her Mr. Mime is going on a pantomiming spree in the background. He seems to be very diligent and serious about it. ]Hayate-kun, Keiichi-kun, Rika-chan-- is everyone all right? I won't be returning to Goldenrod until Mitsuru is ready, but I've ( Read more... )

[ Anyone who's seen Asuka around has probably noticed that she's somewhat glum. And also being followed by a Girafarig who seems to be afraid of her own shadow. But this is less about Manjoume going home and Asuka's thoughts on that and more about the Gym match she COMPLETELY THRASHED WHITNEY IN ( Read more... )

[ the feed isn't the steadiest; Asuka's running, sidestepping certain jagged spikes of crystals and calling out orders to three Pokémon at once. She's also cradling a blue and pink egg in one arm and looking... frustrated. ]Does anyone know how far this is extending? I've heard this is originating from some kind of ruins, but with so many of them ( Read more... )
