[011] [Video/Action]
[And here we have Shelly and his team out training in route 32, not very far from Violet City. As usual, Moe is recording (and this time, Shelly actually consented to it); Weasley is just watching and Viola is the one doing the battling, currently glaring at a wild Ekans.]
You already know how this usually goes, Viola. [He's got his usual smile on his face.] If necessary, intimidate the target...
[The Spinarak successfully uses Scary Face. Considering this is an almost cute spider staring down a snake, it is rather impressive, really.]
... Yes, let it know that you will not back down. Next, constrict it it, impede its movements...
[And Constrict it it does. God knows how a spider manages to do such a thing to a snake, but goodness, Viola DOES it. She releases the Ekans shortly afterwards, but regardless, the wild Pokémon seems somewhat slower.]
... And strike.
[EKANS DOESN'T THINK SO. But wait, where did Viola go?
... Oh. Behind Ekans. She strikes in a flash - the poor Snake goes down.]
Excellent work, Viola. [He applauds politely.] Now, Moe--
[OH MY GOD ARE SPIDERS SUPPOSED TO GLOW BECAUSE THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW oh. Viola turns to face the PokéGear. Now she is larger and quite possibly terrifying for the faint-hearted to behold.]
...
[Shelly repeats his brief applause.]
