005 [video/action for Violet City peeps]

[After checking in with Nick, who was finally getting some sleep, a well-rested and rejuvenated Larry (along with his Pokémon) is exiting the Violet Pokémon Center, stretching in every way possible. When was the last time he slept for like three days straight?

Thinking of something, he whips out his PokéGear.]


Hey! Who wants to have a battle? Can't let myself get rusty at this if I wanna beat that Falkner guy!

[Larry, it's only been three days. But hey, at least he'll get to know some more people?]

For people in Violet City, anyway. And don't worry, this isn't on a first come, first serve basis. Larry's got plenty of time to battle with all you guys. Just don't cry when you get whomped.

Are you looking for a battle?

[action]

[identity profile] usediceshard.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I could entertain that offer. I don't believe I've had a battle with anyone yet.

Sweet! Me neither, actually, but I've been wanting to for like...ever!

[action]

[identity profile] usediceshard.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Very well, then. Send out your first.

[action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright!

[He takes a look at his three Pokémon, who are now standing in a line, ready for action.]

Okay, Poliwag, you're up first!



[The small Pokémon hops out of line and in front of his trainer, practically shaking with excitement for his first real battle.]

[action]

[identity profile] usediceshard.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...hm. A water-type, presumably. [He threw out a Pokeball, releasing a bouncing Jumpluff.]

Tsumujikaze, Bullet Seed.

[The hopping plant took a breath and fired a volley of seeds at Larry's Poliwag.]

[action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[That was the sucky thing about going first, your opponent might be able to make a type advantage. But that's not going to stop Larry and Poliwag!]

Quick, Poliwag! Get out of the way!

[Poliwag obeys and dodges the majority of the seeds, but isn't quick enough to avoid the final ones. He cries in pain before jumping back toward his trainer.]

Ack! Poliwag, you okay?

[He gives his trainer a determined look, which definitely reassures Larry.]

Great! The opponent might have the advantage, but that doesn't mean we can't fight back. Hit 'im with Hypnosis!

[The spiral pattern on Poliwag's belly begins to spin, aimed directly at the Jumpluff.]

Oh, no fair! I'm too far away for that!

[ video ]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
We can totally battle when I catch up with you, Kay!

[ video ]

[identity profile] yattagarasu.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! Let me know how you clean up in Violet.

[ video ]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You got it.

Might be a while, though. I don't even know what everyone else's plans are!

[ video ]

[identity profile] yattagarasu.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, it's been a lot of stuff ever since you first got in, huh? How's everyone doing?

[ video ]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's been crazy over here!

Well Nick's still sicker than a dog, but he's finally sleeping, so that's good. I just think everyone's still recovering from last weekend.

[ video ]

[identity profile] yattagarasu.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Tell me about it. My group's still shaky, too, not to mention I still can't find Konata...

[ video ]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully nothing happened to her.

[ video ]

[identity profile] yattagarasu.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
She's too cool for that!

[voice; he's probably somewhere close by though B|;;]

[identity profile] shellderkillder.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I am certainly up for it.

[voice] Shelly is anywhere and everywhere.

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome, Mr. Doe!

I don't think I've even seen you battling in action, either. This'll be really cool!

[voice] He's watching you from the ceiling. Right now.

[identity profile] shellderkillder.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
This will be my first battle against another trainer, yes.

[voice] FFFFFF--

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm ready whenever you are. I'll be waitin' in front of the PokéCenter.

[voice/action]

[identity profile] shellderkillder.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I shall be heading there now, then.

[And off he goes. Within 5 minutes, he arrives, wearing his courteous smile on his face.]

[action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Shelly is greeted with an enthusiastic wave.]

That was fast.

[action]

[identity profile] shellderkillder.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
I was close by. [He gets a Pokéball from his pocket.] Well, then, shall we?

[action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Larry nods, grinning.]

Yeah! You wanna choose first?

[action]

[identity profile] shellderkillder.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I can. [He throws the Pokéball - with CLASS, man - and out comes his Sneasel, claws ready to kick ass.]

[action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That guy, huh? In that case...

Drifloon, go!

[With that, his Drifloon floats from the line that his Pokémon had formed to the ~battlefield~.

Little does Larry know that the majority of his team is susceptible to Dark.]

[action]

[identity profile] shellderkillder.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[On the other hand, Shelly's Pokémon have lower levels. However, on the... third hand, he may be a better strategist than Larry. ONE WILL HAVE TO SEE.]

Weasley, begin with a Faint Attack. [And so he does! The Sneasel runs towards Drifloon, ready to strike with his left paw... and strikes with the claws of his RIGHT paw. How sneaky.]

[Action]

[A few minutes later Kisame walks up, grinning. Even without the sharky bits, he's probably pretty intimidating.]

A battle, eh? Sounds like fun. I could use a little more training, and so can my squad.

[Action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Intimidating indeed! Larry's amazement shows on his face.]

Yeah! Are you gonna take on Falkner too?

[Action]

[identity profile] usedgigadrain.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Not yet; we have more training to do first.

How close would you say you are to being ready to challenge him?

[Kisame is being pleasant and obviously curious for the moment.]

[Action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Close, I guess. I don't even know how strong his Pokemon are.

[Action]

[identity profile] usedgigadrain.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Shouldn't you figure that out? Not knowing your opponent's strength is a good way to get beaten.

[Kisame laughs] But we'll see which one of is closer, won't we?

[Action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, you've got a point there. Only way to find out would be to battle him, huhn?

Y-Yeah!! [Totally not intimidated already. Totally not.]

[Action]

[identity profile] usedgigadrain.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Be glad he doesn't have his huge-ass sword, Larry.]

Are you ready or do you need a minute to collect yourself?

[identity profile] mysticpearly.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I can battle with you, Mr. Larry!

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
That'd be awesome!

... [Jokingly,] But don't think I'll go easy on you just 'cause you're younger.

[identity profile] mysticpearly.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
And don't think I'll go easy on you because of your chin hair thing! [She's new to trash talk. Pardon her.]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Okay he has to laugh at that.]

Fair enough! You ready to do this?

man, I just realized how underleveled pearl's are compared to his. ffff how do we solve that?

[identity profile] mysticpearly.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

We could battle like it's the anime and level doesn't really count?

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Awright! I'll go first.

[He looks at his Pokémon, then nods when he figures who to send out first.]

Wobbuffet, you're up first!

As long as Larry wins in the end, since he IS higher leveled. :)

[identity profile] mysticpearly.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a water type...

Go, Pink Mr. Edgeworth! [The Hoppip looks at her like 'what.' and pretty much linefaces hsi way out to the frontlines.]

[video]

[identity profile] overthedratini.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be glad to battle you!!

... If I was closer!

[video]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
How 'bout we put a rain check on it then?

[video]

[identity profile] overthedratini.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good to me.

[action]

[identity profile] knaveofthewind.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You wanna battle, huh?

If you're willing to be the one crying, then I'll be glad to take you on!

[action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I sure do!

[He laughs at that.] We'll see who's crying at the end of the battle!

[action]

[identity profile] knaveofthewind.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
You seem pretty confident! I hope you can back that up...!

[action]

[identity profile] itsthebutz.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You bet I can.
