PUZZLE 003 [VIOLET CITY - VIDEO/ACTION]

[snapandscoot]

[[As soon as she set foot in Violet City, Emmy immediately sought out the Gym for a battle! However, if you've got your Pokegear on or you're near the Pokemon Centre, you'll see her and her Machop emerging, looking...rather defeated.]]

Well, that certainly could've gone better.

[[Almost in unison, the pair sigh and seat themselves on a bench outside the centre.]]

That Falkner fellow had some horribly powerful Pokemon! That creepy owl....gosh, I had no idea what to do! Perhaps we shouldn't have rushed in there so soon. I'm sorry, Machi.

[[The Machop frantically waves her arms and points to herself, before sighing and slapping her palm against her forehead.]]

It wasn't your fault!

[[Emmy smiles, and puts a friendly arm around her Pokemon's shoulders.]]

Don't worry, Machi. The Professor wouldn't give up and neither will we! We just have to train harder so that next time, we're ready! We're not going to lose to the likes of him!

[action] also you are going to get tagged by a lot of everyone on my end eventually, just saying

[blackholedson]

[...ah, a new person! With something he's never seen before, pokemon-wise, on top of it. Hmmm. Let's approach - oh, sounds like she's having a bit of a bad time, doesn't it. But if it's related to the gyms...]

Did you just try to take on the Gym?

[Action]

[carefreeme]

[ Miyako has just been derping around Violet lately, losing interest in her part time job and cutting shifts whenever she can. She can't help but notice Emmy on the bench and stops to give her a curious look. ]

Eh~? Isn't it chilly, sitting there like that?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Your Machop will always be disadvantaged against his Flying-types unless you reach a much higher level, Miss. Have you any other teammates to use?

video; for now

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Oh, that doesn't sound very good, does it? Have a cheery smile from Hughes anyways, Emmy ]

The Gym battle didn't go so well, I take it?

{Video}

[bamfsecretary]

The Gym leaders here are quite strong, aren't they?

[ACTION]

[notrueking]

[Man, Emmy, don't worry about it-Bradley here probably would have done the same thing.

...granted he basically just got finished powering through the first two routes and Cherrygrove on very little sleep, he is going to need a sit down on one of those benches at least

man being old and human sucks. -but oh, hey, someone... vaguely familiar]

Had some trouble with the Gym Leader, then?

[It's mostly an educated guess-nobody around here has been particularly challenging so far, and Gym Leaders are supposed to be the best of the best.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[You're not alone, man. 8( Heather had some trouble with Falkner at first, too.]}

Yeah, that guy's kind of tough, isn't he?

Second time's the charm, though.

_{[... Or third. You know. Whatever works.]}

Video

[hintcoinplz]

Falkner was pretty tough the first time I fought him. Don't worry, Emmy! I'm sure you'll get it next time!

[video]

[darkenedgales]

And that's exactly why you should never underestimate bird Pokémon!

[Never mind he's got nothing to do with her loss, it's just his bias speaking.]

video; i'm not late, you're just hallucinating

[puzzling]

[ Oh yeah, Falkner. Man, that takes Layton back ages ago in battling that gym leader. ]

Having trouble with the gym leader, Emmy?
