005 [video/action for Violet City peeps]

[failures]

[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.

[Intimidating indeed! Larry's amazement shows on his face.]

Yeah! Are you gonna take on Falkner too?

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.]

Close, I guess. I don't even know how strong his Pokemon are.

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?

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.]

[Be glad he doesn't have his huge-ass sword, Larry.]

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