012 // video/action for Violet
[ Yeah, Quistis is outside, just a little way outside Violet on Route 32. Granted, she's dressed for it, but you can see she's still cold. Amazing she hasn't gotten sick yet.
She's standing in the snow-slush, looking on as her Riolu wipes out a very unfortunate Hoppip. ]It's getting harder and harder to train. On top of the difference in levels, ( Read more... )

My team's levels're gettin' into the forties, but I've still got a few in the thirty range, and one at seventeen! [She grins.] I'll totally take you on if you're nearby Violet! My guys'd love to stretch out their legs and wings before we take on Falkner!

Sounds great. I'm out on the Route 32 side right now, if you're free.
My name's Quistis, by the way.

Oh yeah! The name's Rainbow Dash! Heh, nice to meetcha!
I'll be out at Route 32 in no time flat!

I'll be waiting!

Heya, Quiz-tuss! [Bad pronunciation forever. She grins.] You ready for a battle?
Caa~aastform~!

Born ready. [ She jerks her head toward Castform. ] Was this your starter? It's cute.

Huh-- Oh, nah! That's Nimbus!
[Nimbus floats in a little circle around Quistis' head, chirping happily.] Got him on that, er... Chriss-uh-mus day thing. [She grins.] He likes to watch the battles! He's the level seventeen one-- sorta the baby of the team, ya know.
... Speakin' of which, you wanna pick first, or should I?

[ Quistis reaches up to her shoulder to scoop up her Riolu. ]
Tempest here was my Christmas gift, too. Why don't we just start with these two before we break out the big guns?
[ Tempest seems interested, if not excited. He eyes Nimbus warily. ]
Reply
I repeatedly forget Nimbus is female. Sorry 'bout that. D:))
Heh, sounds good to me! [She grins at the Riolu, then tilts her head up to Nimbus.]
Ready for a go, Nimbus?
Cast, cast! [Nimbus zips down from Quistis, floating in a quick circle around Dash, then hovering in a spot before her, eyes determined.]
Alright! Ready when you are!

Like I said, born ready!
[ Quistis holds out her hands, and Tempest leaps down gracefully, gazing up at Nimbus with a stern expression. He was born ready, too, apparently. ]

Heh, gotcha!
[And the battle ensues! Dash attempts to troll gain an advantage over her opponent with several Ember attacks-- why yes, fire just came out of that giant floating icicle-- but after a few well-placed fighting-type moves, Nimbus drops out of the air and into her trainer's arms.]
Ah-- Nimbus! [Dash looks dismayed for a moment, then almost angry. She hates losing. Nimbus is fine, however, and actually seems to giggle at the fair loss-- she's a good sport, unlike her trainer.] Aw, man... Ugh.
[Dash returns the Castform to her Pokeball, then straightens herself up with a frown.] Best two out of three?
Reply
Good job, Tempest. [ But she calls him back into his Pokéball. From what Rainbow Dash said earlier, the rest of her team is well above Tempest's level. ]
Two out of three sounds fine. [ From the next Pokéball she tosses out emerges a Pidgeotto, who crows loudly and comes to land on Quistis' outstretched arm. He's clearly incredibly heavy, and Quistis is having some trouble keeping her arm there, but she doesn't seem to mind. ]
Aero's level thirty. Feel free to level-match or slaughter me, if it makes you feel better. [ Her smile is a little mischievous. ]
Reply
A Pidgeotto, huh? [Heeey she had one of those! She grins.]
Hah, well I can do both-- level match and slaughter you! [She fishes out another Pokeball and tosses it DRAMATICALLY.] Show 'em who's boss, Cirrus!
[And, in a flash of light, out comes a fierce-eyed level 30 Ampharos. Electricity crackles between his ears, and he does not look happy.]
Amphaaaaa!! [Yes, that overgrown sheep-kangaroo just gave a war cry.]
Reply
[ Aero pushes off from Quistis' arm immediately, sending her stumbling forward a step or two before she catches herself. He flaps into the air above Cirrus, crowing again in anticipation.
Quistis, however, frowns. An Ampharos? Well... damn. She can already see that Aero's at a disadvantage, but she won't call him back. ]
Let's see it, then!
Reply
[AND THEY'RE OFF! Despite Cirrus' type advantage, they actually seem neck-and-neck for a while, Aero being quicker and evading thanks to flight ability. But eventually, Cirrus emerges as the winner. Sparks dance around him as he pants; dangit, that was too close GRRRRRR.]
Yes! Hah, told ya I could do both! [Dash stop trollin' with yo type advantages.] Good goin', Cirrus!
Ampha! [Though inside he's fuming and plotting a personal vendetta with that Pidgeotto. ONE DAY, AERO. ONE DAY.]
Reply
That ties us. [ She produces another Pokéball, which she tosses once in the air before releasing a Skarmory.
The large steel bird tosses his head and shrieks, scraping at the ice and snow with his talons. ]
King's level 32. If you're worried about losing, there's no need to make this a fair fight. [ She says it innocently, but she's obviously baiting her opponent. ]
