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.]

[[Emmy is actually taking a break from training and enjoying a snack with Teppi, her newest Pokemon. She's taken to training quite well! They're both watching the gear as they eat, and when Descole suddenly pops on with that request, Emmy jumps forward so quickly that Teppi almost loses her lunch.]]

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?!]]
snapandscoot: (Get used to it!)

I'd be more than willing to give you a taste of my particular brand of grace and charm, Descole!

[[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~

How about you don't waste your time trash talking, and instead start training? Take it from me; you're going to need it if you want to stand any sort of chance against Professor Layton's assistant!

[[And hanging up!

...

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT

LOOK WHO'S HANGING UP FIRST THIS TIME

TAKE THAT
