♐ 022; [video/action]
[ooc: I swear this art will look marginally less atrocious when I can actually finish it, I just wanted to get the post up.]
[Ecruteak Gym. Probably a familiar sight to the network by now, but Touya wasn't exactly one to rely on his Pokegear. Judging by the angle, the camera was being held by his Drifloon today; his Trainer in blue stood across from Morty with an evident smirk on his face.]
[Why he was smirking was anyone's guess, because it seemed like all he had was a Drifloon and exhausted Misdreavus against the gym leader's energetic Gengar.]
It's not over yet--not yet! I still believe we can do it!
...Hah. [It might have seemed strange...there was an expression on Touya's face that had rarely if ever made itself known in Johto. A look that he rarely showed anywhere but in combat, in fact--a confident, even arrogant smirk.] If it isn't over, then allow me to put an end to this.
[He looked to the Misdreavus--she was clearly one or two hits away from fainting. That was fine...he'd planned this down to the the last detail.]
Just like we planned. Pain Split.
[The Misdreavus gave a sound suspiciously like laughing, flipping backwards in midair before charging directly at Morty's Gengar and striking it head-on with a flying tackle.]
Perfect--return and let Jin finish this one. [The Misdreavus vanished into her Pokeball in a flash, leaving a cringing Gengar on the battlefield. The camera dropped into Touya's outstretched hand as his Drifloon floated onto the field.]
Gengar, quick--Shadow Ball!
[The Gengar held out its hands and summoned a dark purple sphere--the resulting explosion of energy obscured the camera for a few seconds. When it cleared up, despite a twofold weakness Touya's Drifloon was still conscious.]
Don't think it will be so simple just because he's small. Jin's just as stubborn as the one he was named for--he's refused to evolve for quite some time. Let's finish this; hit it with Payback.
[Say goodnight, Gengar. The video cuts out for a few minutes, coming back on again held by a tired Drifloon as Touya gets the Fog Badge with a triumphant smirk.]
[action]
[After his victory against Morty, one would find Touya on a couch in the Pokemon Center with a Riolu clinging to his shoulder.]
...I suppose there's something to winning these gym badges after all, Samui. That was the most entertaining thing that's happened since I arrived.
