☘ 007; [video]

[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!

Of course it was.

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

Cocky as ever, huh?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Until I see any reason I shouldn't be.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I won't deny it was a good fight. Congratulations for that.

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

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

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
That's her. She's tougher than she looks, though.

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I've found most women usually are.

[And he always caught hell from them without fail.]

Still, she's obviously not impossible to beat.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
No, but if you don't have the right type matchups, she'll prove to be pretty nasty. Or so I've heard.

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
We didn't have any advantage today, and look how that turned out. We'll mana--

[Annnd there's a Ponyta sticking her face in the camera. Apparently she's as subtle as her trainer.]

...manage. Assuming I'm not driven crazy first.

[identity profile] photonsaber.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggles at that and slightly tilts her head.]

Are you a soldier?

[ video ]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Why would you think that?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Your Ponyta, I take it?

[ video ]

[identity profile] photonsaber.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Your clothes, mister! It kinda looks like a soldier's without all the metal stuff from my home world...

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not exactly. I found her just outside the city this morning. I thought maybe she might've been Rider's, but I'm not sure.

[ video ]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. Forgot I was wearing it. [Funny, the kind of outfit he considered normal.]

I guess you could probably call me a soldier.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure Rider would raise a Ponyta that...intrusive.

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
...good point.

Either way, I wouldn't mind taking care of it. Honestly, I wanted one of these since I saw Rider's.

[Jealous? Naaaah.]

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

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

[identity profile] graildilf.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Thinking I will be more of a challenge than others you've faced?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm hoping that's the case, at least.

Hope you're okay with unconventional fighting.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
You like horses? Or did you just like the idea of a fire horse?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Horses aren't so bad. I had a couple of my own a long time ago.

...Having one that's on fire is just absurd enough to be fascinating.
