002. Video/Action for northern Route 34
[VIDEO]
[Well, Johto, you're being greeted with another video feed from Descole today; feel honored!
Or at least, feel pleased that this time the camera is angled a bit more straight-on, so one can actually see the person speaking, as opposed to some sort of melodramatic hipster angle that gives you a grand view of his left shoulder because true art is incomprehensible and vague and poorly-lit.
Of course, he still has the mask on, along with everything else he's usually wearing to ensure that you can see as little of him as possible, but that's pretty much par for the course.]
As obvious as it is that these creatures are supposed to be used for battle, I haven't had the opportunity to test these things out - as such, I'm looking for challengers.
Levels are irrelevant; I simply want to see what these things are capable of.
[ACTION]
[Aaaaand after that little announcement is out there, today will grant you the rare sight of a wild Descole outside of his natural habitat - it seems that he's seen fit to finally venture outside of the usual den that is the Rocket labs in order to...
...to...
...well, he's certainly doing something, though it's a bit difficult to say what. For the time being, his Metang is kind of chilling over some of the grass at the entrance to Route 34, doing its usual levitating thing, though it isn't hovering at any sort of great height; Descole is circling the creature, pacing around it for a while before he backs off a short distance, his hand propped against his chin in an obvious contemplative gesture.
And then he quite simply takes what distance he's made, uses it for a running start, and jumps rather neatly onto the creature's back, landing with one knee planted down and both hands lightly in front of him for the sake of balance.
The Metang wobbles dangerously about upon that landing (because dear lord you are a grown man you are going to fall the hell off), but manages to retain a general sense of equilibrium; Descole, to his credit, does not fall the hell off, though he definitely waits until balance has been restored before standing up - looking a bit shaky, admittedly, but standing nonetheless - and hopping off.]
That was much better - I think it'll work out, really.
[...yeah, he's been at this for a while. But come on, this thing is a tremendous murderbeast that's built for battle...and more importantly, it is built for dramatic entrances! You cannot look at that thing and tell him that you can't see the potential for dramatic entrances, and Descole is going to work on this until a dramatic entrance is achieved.]

video;
There are always wild Pokemon to battle, you know.
video;
Oh, I'm well aware of that! At the same time, I'd think there's a difference between fighting things raised by another person, and fighting wild animals who attack at random. Am I wrong?
video;
If you're close to a gym, you could always try your hands at that.
video;
video;
Have a bit of a teasing smile. ]
I thought you said levels didn't really matter~?
video;
And just as there's a difference between creatures raised by a trainer and wild animals, there's a difference between a casual battle and challenging an actual institution.
video;
[VIDEO]
What are you looking for in a battle? Are you hoping to see different kinds of these creatures or are you planning on testing just what your own are capable of?
[He certainly doesn't mind the idea of busting out his high leveled Pokémon and crushing Descole! But if he's actually looking to see what his can do, having them go up against Alekhine won't do any good.]
I certainly wouldn't mind a battle.
[VIDEO]
It's more the former than the latter; I'm rather familiar with my own, and I certainly wouldn't be telling you that the levels are completely irrelevant if I were testing them, now, would I?
[VIDEO]
I suppose I'll meet you on the outskirts of town in a few minutes, then?
[Action]
What's that Pokémon you have there?
[Action]
It's called a Metang - Steel and Psychic, quite the fascinating creature, if I do say so myself.
...a bit slow on the learning side of things, unfortunately. Runs a bit contrary to whatever this Gear has to say about it, but I understand it has quite a lot of potential.
[...well, that second part will get something of an "Aw man :<" from the Metang, but! Clearly the boss is pleased and not jumping on it for the time being, so life is fairly good.]
[Action]
[can you tell where this is going, Descole]
[Action]
[Yes, he can, boy. That doesn't exempt you from asking outright.]
[Action]
Good! If you'd be willing to breed your Metang, I would happily breed one of my own Pokémon for you in exchange. You can borrow my Ditto for the task if you don't already have one.

[Clive takes off all the Poké Balls from his belt and tosses them in the air, and out come an Absol, Dusknoir, Mawile, Blissey, and... two Nidokings.]
Kira, original form, please.
[Upon command, one of the Nidokings quite literally disappears and is replaced with a Zorua, who just sits on the ground innocently and scratches behind her ear.]
If none of these interest you, I can show you what I have in my PC.
[Action]
...there's disturbingly little information on that little...transforming fox thing, isn't there. Hm. He's not terribly interested in rarity, as he's more interested in either power or veritable blimps that can serve as decent distraction, but it is something to keep in mind for the future.]
The Dusknoir does interest me; does it transfer any of the moves it knows to the offspring?
[Action]
I believe so! Let me check which ones.
[And Clive pulls out his Gear so he can check that list of egg moves that he compiled for his Pokémon.]
It can transfer the moves Will-o-wisp, Ominous Wind, Toxic, Protect, and Attract.
[VIDEO SOB]
You want a fight?! I'll give you one to remember, Descole!
[[NOT THAT SHE'S STILL ANNOYED ABOUT THE BALL OR ANYTHING! Emmy is also very aware that Descole is still fairly new and as such, his Pokemon will be weaker than hers.
An opportunity to humiliate him? Where does she sign?!]]
[video]
Well, well, well - if it isn't Layton's assistant again, and all her usual amount of grace and charm!
I would take you up on this declaration of yours, but I think I'd like to avoid the disappointment.
[video]
[[Oh you will not get her angry this time; we're going to have a fight and it will be glorious.]]
Unless you're afraid I'm going to win. But you're a smart fellow, so you must be~
[video]
[video]
[[....waaaait a minute, that....route in the background of the video looks strangely familiar...]]
Where...are you, exactly?
[video]
The route just to the south of Goldenrod; I believe it's Route 34.
Familiar with it?
[video]
OH COME ON]]
You've got to be joking! I was just there a few days ago...I'm in Azalea Town!
[[LASKFJASDL HER CHANCE TO HUMILIATE DESCOLE
FOILED
THIS IS NOT FAIR]]
How are we supposed to fight now?
[video]
DO YOU EVER THINK
NO REALLY DO YOU EVER THINK]
For the love of god, Emmy, it's an invitation to battle, not a cup of yogurt - there isn't a particular expiration date on it, I'll be more than willing to humiliate you later.
[video]
[[INSTANT
PERKINESS]]
[video]
As excited as you sound about being humiliated, I certainly won't say no now.
[video]
What can I say, Descole; the thought of easy victory always gets me rather excited~!
[[omg she is gunna smash u tho]]
[video]
[video]
[[And hanging up!
...
YEAH THAT'S RIGHT
LOOK WHO'S HANGING UP FIRST THIS TIME
TAKE THAT]]
[video]
oh, well
that's
mildly aggravating isn't it
...
... ... ...
...welp

Really, now? If you leave the cities, there are no shortage of people who will challenge you to a fight if you just walk by them. Granted, they do tend to be somewhat... lacking.
