[Today's challenger to the Violet Gym seemed to be taking things a little too seriously--not many Trainers wore armor, presumably. But Lancer was of course not most trainers. He was a little less 'normal' than most even on a good day.]

[The video is turned on by Lancer and tossed to his sidelined Venomoth; he figured she'd be able to get a better view. His newly acquired Ponyta stands by his side, occasionally waving around a flaming tail. Judging by the scorched battlefield, the match has been going on for a while, and in fact Falkner is on his last Pokemon.]

We can still fly!

If you have time to talk like that, it would be better spent finishing this match. Let's go, Olldóiteán.

[Lancer's Houndoom sprinted past him onto the battlefield, snarling and spitting embers.]

Go, Honchkrow! [With a flash of light and a few scattered black feathers, Falkner's last Pokemon revealed itself as--]



...you're joking. Of all things, it had to be a raven? Johto really has a weird sense of humor.

[A sigh. Lancer crossed his arms, annoyed with this development.]

You know what to do. Take care of it.

[The battle started in a burst of flame and a flurry of wings...but it didn't last long. Soon enough, the camera cut out and came back on some time later in the Pokemon Center--Lancer flashed the Zephyr Badge at the camera with an arrogant grin.]

Still up for that match, Kiritsugu?

[The Ponyta stuck her head into frame, seemingly wondering just what this shiny thing was.]

...oh, and Rider, did you lose this little horse? I found her wandering around this morning.

Wow! That was a really cool battle there, Mister!

[ video ]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Of course it was.

[Modesty is for people who aren't Lancer.]

[She giggles at that and slightly tilts her head.]

Are you a soldier?

[ video ]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Why would you think that?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Your clothes, mister! It kinda looks like a soldier's without all the metal stuff from my home world...

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Cocky as ever, huh?

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Until I see any reason I shouldn't be.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

I won't deny it was a good fight. Congratulations for that.

I'd like to see how you'd do against Whitney, though.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

...Isn't she the one that keeps bursting into tears when she loses?

[graildilf.livejournal.com]

Give me a few more days and I'll be ready for you. Getting my badge should be a cinch.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. Even I can wait that long for a decent match.

[graildilf.livejournal.com]

Thinking I will be more of a challenge than others you've faced?

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping that's the case, at least.

[blue-knightking.livejournal.com]

I guess you are like that.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Like what, Saber?

[blue-knightking.livejournal.com]

It seems like your confidence does border on arrogance. Well, you have not been out of training since arriving in here, have you?

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I've got a sparring partner if nothing else, and of course I'm training all of my Pokemon the best that I can. I have a reputation to keep up, y'know.

[Coolest. Dad. Ever.]

[At least, that's what Connla's face was saying.]

[action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[You're damn right he is. And looking ten times more arrogant than usual.]

Come on, let's go back to the hotel. Don't know about you, but I'm hungry.

[As is the Ponyta now chewing on Connla's shirt.]

[action]

[three-geasa.livejournal.com]

Aye.

[He'll just try to shove the pony's head away from his shirt. Quit that!]

[action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[Lancer turned and walked out, snickering at the horse still omnomnomming his kid's shirt. Apparently it was delicious.]

[grailmilf.livejournal.com]

[Giggling, but with her hand covering her mouth like a proper lady!]

That was very impressive, knight Lancer!

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[...oh man iri why so cute.]

I'm flattered you think so.

[video]

[grailmilf.livejournal.com]

Your... Houndoom, is that right? He appears to be doing well, too, and I do confess that this is the first time that I've witnessed a Gym Battle. How would you describe it?

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's right. She's a pretty good partner, not to mention I don't exactly hate dogs.

Describe it...hm. It's nothing like an ordinary fight, but I have to admit it's pretty entertaining.
