[Route 29] Video/Action - Pewter City ((backdated to the 2nd))

[dreamsofahero]

*the video cuts in to a certain silver-haired king, seated in what some may recognize as the grassy meadow in the southeast part of Pewter City. He looks rather thoughtful, apparently oblivious to the Swablu perched on his head between the horns that still linger from the outbreak a month ago*

In another week, I'll have been in this world for seven months already. While I realize that there are some who have been here much longer, I can't help thinking it's quite a long time. Were it not for the reassurances that time in our own worlds does not pass while we're here, I'd be quite concerned indeed for what state the kingdom would be in by now.

*a pause, then he continues*

Admittedly, though, this world does have its diversions. However now I wonder, does anyone know whether, after a gym leader has been defeated once, will the accept a challenge from the same person again? It would certainly be interesting to test out various new combinations and strategies, after all...

*of course, should this talk of challenging gym leaders make one curious enough to look, you might notice an open case containing a newly completed set of all sixteen badges sitting in his lap before the feed ends :)*

[also sitting on the grass somewhat nearby]

So, now that you're done, we can finally stay in one place for a while, right?

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Well, I was starting to wonder whether the gym leaders would accept another challenge, so I can try out some of the others against them...

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

Don't even start with that! We've been on the road constantly for a month! A month! You've got all the badges, so take a damn break already, would you?

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, but where's your sense of adventure and exploration, Ryner?

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

It died after you decided to put it to work constantly with no breaks for weeks on end.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? But you didn't even do a thing while I was busy training and challenging all those gyms, you know...

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

I was busy recuperating from being dragged all over the continent!

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

And most of that you spent riding your pokemon, at that...

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

Only because that's the only way to keep up with your pace.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

So, it should be no trouble at all to visit them all again.

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

Eventually, maybe. Right now, no way.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Well, I suppose with an attitude like that it'll be a whole year before we can find out what good that ticket is...

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

You could go by yourself if you wanted to, y'know.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

I think Rose would never let me hear the end of it.

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

No, she'd never let me hear the end of it.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

So, would you prefer to start here in Kanto, or go to Johto first...?

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

We're staying put, Sion!

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, Kanto it is, then.

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

Pewter City.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Oh, you mean you'd like to head for the gym now...? We were just there, but I suppose if you insist....

*moving to get up from where he's seated*

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

That's not what I meant and you know it!

[Does he have to pounce you? Because he'd rather not get up, but he's getting into position to do so if he has to.]

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? But you just said...

*well he's already got one leg under him...*

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

We are staying in Pewter and resting, for crying all night!

[still not pouncing yet, but if you keep moving, sir...]

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, you needn't worry about me, I'll have a chance to rest while you challenge the gym, after all.

*getting to his feet...*

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

Who the hell said anything about me doing that??

[aaaaaaaand pounce!]
