011 [Video/Action for Violet]

[soggypastry]

[One of Violet City's main attractions is the Gym, and that's where the feed turns on now. Lightning is standing on one end of the field with Falkner on the other, facing his Noctowl down with Odin the Rapidash. The camera is being held at such an angle that Serah, Hope, and Leon can be seen in the stands on either side, along with Strike sitting

[ Making his way down the stands with Strike, a small smirk on his face. Well done, Light. ]

[soggypastry]

[Watch your feet, Leon. Sen's just gonna rush past the two of you and jump at Lightning as she makes her way back from Falkner with badge and TM in hand. Yes, she can catch him and still see that smirk on your face. Have one of her own in return.]

Surprised?

[action]

[usedroar]

That you won? No.

[ Though... ]

I did have my doubts when you released Fang.

[ He'll admit that much. ]

[action]

[soggypastry]

[She's silent while Sen clambers up to her shoulder to perch there, before she nods. Fang is a...really unknown variable.]

I can understand that. But give her a target and she doesn't see anything else until it's over. [Almost like Lightning herself, really.]

Ghosts aren't good against birds.

[Bit of useless information now that it's over... but hey. He's still jumping down the bleachers to reach her with a smile on his face.]

Congrats.

[soggypastry]

[Not totally useless, really. Someone else has to use birds in Johto. She'll just catch Sen when he jumps at her, then smile back at Hope.]

Thanks, Hope. [Aaaand back to business.]

You planning to fight him again while we're here?

[airwinged]

[Leans a little to the side, observing the Gym Leader.]

I think I'll wait till he's good to go again. In a few days or so.

action;

[soggypastry]

[Falkner's just stablizing his birds before running them to the Pokémon center, and Lightning might seem the tiniest bit embarrassed. Someone overdid it this time.]

That might be a good idea. I don't think his team will be up for much fighting for a while.

[soggypastry]

[The reply is a bit delayed, but Sen is on her shoulder and the background is the Pokémon Center. Have a little smile, Ven.]

Thanks. Odin and Fang did good.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[If it's possible, Lightning looks just a little embarrassed. It was...good to have their support, really. Not that she'll ever say it like that with people around.]

Me too, Ven. [Have a yip from Sen. He's really glad they were there! He had people to cheer with!]

[voice]

[usedninjathief]

Hey congrats Lightning! That battle looked awesome! Falkner didn't stand a chance, hah!

[voice]

[soggypastry]

[With a wall in the Center behind her, Light just..ducks her head. Didn't stand a chance is right, that wasn't even a fair fight.]

I don't think he was expecting it to go that way. Most people fight him when their teams are a lot weaker.

[video]

[restardom]

Yes~! You did it, Light!

[ pseudo-sis is so happy for you. ]

[video]

[soggypastry]

[A few minutes later the reply will come, with Sen peering over her shoulder from the Pokémon Center.]

I didn't do much of anything. Odin and Fang did all the work.

[restardom]

You're the one who trained them-- but I'll be sure to save a berry or two for them, too.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Have a nod, Rise. They'll appreciate the berries, even if Fang....can be a handful.] They'll like that. But I'll have to work on getting Fang to listen to me first.
