PUZZLE 004 [ROUTE 32 - VIDEO/ACTION]

[[Should you be wandering the streets of Violet City today, chances are you'll see Emmy happily striding along! If you're nearby, however, chances are you'll be clearing the road fairly soon when you see the Pokemon slowly gliding along behind her.

It's her newly evolved Gyarados and she's quite a monster.]]

Isn't this fantastic, Magik? You've gotten so big!

[[As Emmy walks, Magik rumbling in agreement, she starts breaking into song. Her voice, while not trained, is strong and pure, and she carries the notes with ease. Occasionally, she'll turn to look at the other pokemon following her with a mixture of mild concern and amusement; it's her Ariados, and he's happily bouncing along to the tune.

Should you be from her world, chances are you'll recognize it.

Confident in her surroundings, Emmy twirls and spins with the music, all the while meandering down the road, followed by her two Pokemon. Coming to the end of the melody, she pauses, wrinkling her nose slightly.]]

Oh, what came after that part....

[[...well, she'll just have to start from the beginning again!]]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The pleasure is all mine, Mr Kimblee~

[[Alright! Time for a serious battle after beating up wild Pokemon all week; this will be refreshing!]]

Why don't you start out, Bug? You're already out of your Pokeball, after all.

[[Giant spider time! Said Ariados will happily trot onto the field, derping as he goes.]]

Your move, Mr Kimblee!

[Kimblee, on the other hand, is used to battling Archer; Archer pretty much never wastes time getting started, nor does he ever talk to his Pokémon during the battle unless it's to give orders to the new ones.

...basically, Emmy, this is so quaint he could die, holy shit.

However! He'll just be sending out the Wartortle, then; he hasn't really used it in battle against an actual trainer, Archer or otherwise, so this ought to prove...interesting. Either way, the turtle is clearly looking to kick some ass; for something so...reasonably herpy, it has quite the glare on it.]

Richard - Water Pulse, if you will.

[...and clearly Kimblee is not going to be wasting time when it comes to letting him attempt to kick ass.]

[[What on earth are you talking about Mr Kimblee, she is a hardcore Pokemon trainer with a team of killing machines!!

....no but her friends tho, of course she has to talk to them!]]

Bug, dodge that and use Sucker Punch! Just like we practiced!

[[Bug, while being a hurrdurr of an Ariados, isn't too bad on his (four) feet, and promptly performs said move Emmy was talking about; hurling himself to the side to avoid the Water Pulse and rushing forward in a furious Sucker Punch attack, wincing slightly as the water hits his abdomen.

Hey, when you're a bug, you gotta find some way to fight against those creepy birds!]]

[...Kimblee seems reasonably pleased with that, actually. You go on ahead and physically get all up in his Pokémon's business, Emmy; Richard's pretty much built for defense, and while he won't like that hit, he'll be able to withstand it.]

Aqua Tail, then, catch it while it's close -

[You can have fun with the water to the face, Bug.]

[[ASLKDJA WATER TO THE FACE, BUG HAS IT]]

String Shot! Stop it moving, Bug!!

[[Well that was decidedly un-awesome, let him just furiously fire out that sticky string at you

Seriously, for a tail that fluffy it packs a punch]]

Then use Scary Face while you're up close!

[...Emmy what

what are you doing

other than killing his speed so dead that he might as well not be doing anything, period, holy fucking mcshit]

[FINE, THEN, IF YOU WANT AN OBNOXIOUS BATTLE HE WILL MAKE THIS BATTLE OBNOXIOUS]

Withdraw.

[[WELL IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT TO PLAY IT!]]

Night Shade.

[[YOUR WITHDRAWING MEANS NOTHING!]]

[...a move that strikes for a whole 29-power damage

watch out, guys, we got a badass over here

Either way, however, Richard is still kind of not well-off due to the Sucker Punching from earlier, to say nothing of COME ON BOSS WHY DO YOU NOT TRAIN ME MORE, so that move is going to finish him off rather quickly anyway. Dammit.

Fine, then! You can have Marat, then - or as Archer insists on calling her, "that horrible giraffe."]

Psybeam.

[[No need to be bitter, it doesn't suit-

.....NOOOO BUG WHY ARE YOU COLLAPSING]]

Ah, Bug!! Are you alright?!

[[ofc he's not alright, but she has to check anyway!]]

You did wonderfully; return!

[[A quick check of the Pokegear reveals all about dat Giraffe!]]

Magik!

[[And here comes her fangbeast, switching herself out of zen mode into battle mode!]]

Bite it!

[...AKJSHDCKDJFGDJFVKBSDGBJKH

NOT OKAY

NEVER OKAY]

[You know, Kimblee actually has a general strategy for shit like this. One that solves...most problems, honestly.]

Stomp, counter it -

[When in doubt, kick shit in the fucking face.

...admittedly that biting is still going to damn near kill Marat, but

the face

kick this thing in the face]

[[Aaaand you just kicked Magik in the face, alright

....why did you make her angry tho]]

Magi-

[[lol sorry Emmy brb biting this thing]]

Magik!! Control yourself!

[[....ok ok we're back to zen mode

why you gotta kick her in the face, man]]

[...you can just zen all you want

that biting kind of hurt, you know

like

real bad

not enough to warrant passing out just yet but fucking ow

...Kimblee doesn't seem too fazed, however.]

Again, Psybeam.

[don't worry, she won't kick you in the face

she'll just be over here trying to kill you with her brain instead

is that cool]

[[well jfc that's not going down too well either

hello my name is Magik i am newly evolved and this is my first battle wharrgarbl wharrgarbl alskdjaflksdjad my brain]]

Hang in there, Magik! Can you get one more Bite in?!

[[The answer to that puzzle is yes, yes she can]]

Well done, you did it!

[...Emmy, you are so quaint he could d-

...

Lovely. That's lovely. All right. Kistna, go do your...thing...

...dear god what the fuck do you even do.]

...Feint.

[...OKAY COME ON LET THIS BE USEFUL OR SOMETHING]

[[Aaaand yep can Magik just quit this battle already

she has had enough

....and will force Emmy to leap to the side as she comes crashing dramatically down, jfc]]

Don't worry Magik, Machi will take care of this!

[[AND HER COMES HER STARTER READY TO ROCK]]

Brick Break!

[...welp

it was nice knowing you, Kistna]

[...at the same time, he'd honestly been wondering when that particular creature would come out; he's well aware that Machi is her starter, and as such it's a safe estimate that she's one of the level 35s. Take out the high-leveled ones and the remaining one shouldn't be too horrible.

As such, there is now a white classyfox on the field; say hello to Dorian.

...Dorian has no interest in saying hello to you and promptly turns his head to look at Kimblee with an expression that pretty much defines a really annoyed You've gotta be kidding, but that doesn't matter now. At least you're not jumping on him this time; help him win this battle and he'll give you a poptart or something later.]

Extrasensory, Dorian.

[[Aaaand another one bites the dust!]]

A perfect strike, Machi! Your technique has really improved!

[[They will now share a mutual thumbs up!]]

Alright, what's next...

[[...oh, well, hello there, pretty white fox.

....

Ok, something....feels a bit off...why the hell is that fox giving her bad vibes...]]

Let's start with-

[[....or, let's not.]]

M-Machi!!

[[Boom, one-shot! Machi is now unconscious and crumpled into a rather dishevelled pile.]]

W-What just happened...!?
