009 [video] [backdated to the 14th]

[failures]

[Ever since Phoenix won his Zephyr Badge, Larry trained overtime so he could get his as soon as possible because he was supposed to win before Nick, damnit!. Earlier this afternoon, he finally got his chance to face Falkner.]

Guys.

GUYS GUESS WHAT?

[Well this sounds familiar. And considering how excited he sounds...it could only be good.

Larry grins, holding out his shiny new Zephyr Badge.]



I won my first badge! You hear that Nick? We're tied now...!

[His Pokémon surround the screen and let out a cry of accomplishment.]

I didn't even think I'd be able to pull it off on my first try, and it wasn't looking too good...but Poliwag evolved and saved the day!

[Poliwag, now Poliwhirl, cross his arms and nods, looking rather proud of himself.]

Whirl.

... Not that Wobbuffet and Drifblim didn't kick ass either! Even though Falkner had the advantage at first, he didn't stand a chance! ... H-Heheh.

So uh... I guess that's it for Violet then, huh? Man, it's gonna be weird leaving this place behind.


Hey! Nia, was it?

A friend of mine said you were looking for an escort to Cherrygrove. You get any offers yet? 'Cause if not, I wouldn't mind going with you. I can't just ignore a girl in need!

Be careful on your trip as well.

[ooc; ....I feel like a terrible person because I laughed when I saw the post like, "/SNRK yeah, Nick, you would."]

Same here!

[He holds out a hand.]

Name's Larry. Happy to be traveling with you!

[ Looking at your hand for... Kind of a long moment before she remembers how handshakes work. But then dainty handshakes! ]

Do you have business in Cherrygrove, or are you simply free?

Yes, I've known America for a long time. We are on good terms.

Honestly? [A low, strained chuckle, and a shrug of the shoulders.] I've been better.

But, er...I'll be alright. [He reaches up to rub the back of his neck out of habit.] Don't worry about me.

... Whoa.

Seriously?

So are you guys really countries?

[Awwwwwwww-- Larry has a feeling that there are going to be a lot of these moments over the next week.]

I've got some free time, pretty much. Plus there are some people I know over there. [Like sweet little Iris.]

[ action ]

[revivifies.livejournal.com]

I see! Then you are meeting a friend as well!

[ action ]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yup! Well, it's kinda weird 'cause she hadn't actually met me yet when she showed up. Johto's weird with time...

[[OOC: Oh yeah! I got your message. I'll probably have Larry join in the log when I get up tomorrow. :D]]

[ action ]

[revivifies.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, I had heard about such things. It sounds as though my friend was here three times, and though I did not speak to him the second, I have heard that he was much older than he is now.

((ooc: kk /o/ ))

Ah. [Julius-speak for "yeah."]

We are Nations in that we are beings that represent the ideals of our countries and people. It is difficult to put into words; I suppose we would be be described as personifications.

Oh congratulations Larry! It's wonderful you won your first badge. _{[Iris gives him a look of admiration.]} Your Pokemon must be very strong.

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Heheh, thanks Iris. [You're giving him an ego, Iris.] Yeah, they're pretty strong, but we've got a long ways to go.

[video]

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

You're welcome Larry. _{[She smiles.]}

R-Really? Your Pokemon are so much stronger than mine...
