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

[[BODY SLAAAAM....!!!

...into a barrier of...some sort wtf she was totally pumped to squash that bug]]

What is....?!

[[Oh god oh god a million giant dragonflies a million]]

N-Nida, use...!!

[[What the hell does one use in this situation?!]]

I....use Chip Away!!

[...well, that actually managed to connect, well done.

However.]

Slash, Abdiel.

[[Well, thank you for allowing her that small, minuscule moment of triumph before you just slashed her Nidoqueen oh god]]

Nida!

[[Screw the giant dragonfly the battle is over let her run to her fallen warrior]]

Are you okay?

[[just

on her knees, patting the poor thing's head]]

[Kimblee will just be watching Emmy's reaction to the loss; it's an interesting display, really. Again, he's used to battling with Archer, and the only other battles he's really participated in involved either NPCs, Falkner, or...well, the other one was the double-battle against Mustang; he and Archer had been on the losing end there, and so the loss had been greeted with a lot of annoyance, and a lot of sheer determination to do better next time. Yes, this is...interesting.

...and suddenly he's a bit interrupted by a giant dragonfly getting all up in his business. Oh my goddddd - ]

...Abdiel, go find me a stick.

[And with that, the Yanmega is off like a shot - hopefully she'll actually have a stick when she returns, and not a small child.]

Thank you for the battle, Miss Altava; is your... [chimera - he bites back the word, selects another.] ...Pokémon all right?

[[Emmy is focused on Nida as Kimblee addresses her; all things considered, there really isn't much damage other than some cuts and scrapes. Easily fixable!

However, since she's bent over with her mass of hair masking her features, it's hard to tell what's happening when her shoulders start to tremble....]]

[[...at least, that is until she straightens her back slightly and her hair shifts away; she's laughing.]]

What a magnificent battle, Mr Kimblee! I certainly didn't see that coming!

[...WELL, THANK GOD SHE'S NOT CRYING. That is a whole new level of awkward that he does not feel like dealing with right now; at least she's handling this like a sane person.]

Well, it would have hardly been fair if I had started out that way. As I've said, I've been here in Johto for a while, now.

[[She'll just return Nida to her pokeball, before standing up and brushing off her coat.]]

I must admit, you asking me for the levels of my Pokemon earlier did give me a clue; why ask if there was nothing you could do?

I take it that's not your main team of Pokemon.

Edited 2012-02-06 14:28 (UTC)

Ah, I'm still settling on a main team; I've been raising several, in order to see what works for me and what doesn't from a battling standpoint. The two that were used at the end are in strong consideration, however; I've been working with Dorian - that's the white fox - for several months now, and Abdiel was received at Christmas.

My two strongest weren't used for this battle, no; their levels are much higher than Dorian's and Abdiel's.

Well, aren't you a gentleman! But don't you dare do that again. It's a matter of pride!

[[....no but jfc please do it again READ BETWEEN THE LINES MR KIMBLEE PLEASE DON'T MAKE HER FIGHT THE STUPIDLY HIGH LEVEL'D ONES]]

So, how do you like your coffee?

[...he'll introduce you to Aya and Carlisle one day, Emmy.]

We can discuss it on the way back to the Center, Miss Altava, but you'll find that I'm rather easy to please in that regard. Do you have a specific place in mind? I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with Violet City; I'm really only aware of the major landmarks.

[[Presuming you mean introduce as 'tea and crumpets' and not 'bloody warfare on the battlefield' then yes she would love to meet them!!]]

There's a pleasant little cafe that Maes and I went to the other week; I think you'll like it. I'm afraid he's already headed onto Goldenrod City, so it's just the two of us!

[[Isn't that a shame >:]]

And since my team isn't in the best of shape, I would rather appreciate an escort to the Centre, yes~

That would be -

[And right, there's Abdiel. With the stick. Abdiel, he isn't going to wrestle it away from you, you could probably take his arms off - give him the damn stick, if you will

...thank you. He'll just be tossing that thing rather hard in the general direction of town to at least get the murderbug moving in the right direction.]

...that would be lovely, I think, though you'll have to accept my apologies for any dullness that may occur; unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of my family to show you.

[[...she'll be very much made of 'wat' when she sees that damn dragonfly and her stick, thank you]]

What, nothing? How frightfully disappointing, Mr Kimblee!

I have a few photos of my little London that you might like, however.

[Just...think of it as a puppy, Emmy. A weirdly elongated puppy. With wings. That's large enough to carry a person.

...never mind, that's just going to make it worse, isn't it.]

I'm sure she's precious - only just turned three, hasn't she?

[Back into town, then! ...recalling Abdiel as they pass the spot where she's rooting around in the grass, because she seems to have lost the stick again and they'll be here all day otherwise.]

Oh yes, and ever so adorable to boot!

[[Just let her giggle at you, will you; you're funny!]]

Oh, and I'm insisting that you let me pay for our drinks, by the way.

Spoken as though I'll allow it; it's hardly good form to allow a lady to pay for the drinks, especially on a first meeting.

[[...oh don't you dare Gentleman at her, she's x4 weak to that]]

I'm afraid I can't allow that, but if it's gentlemanly behaviour you're after-

[[She'll just be linking her arm with yours, good sir!]]

Do escort me properly to the Pokemon Centre, won't you?

[You're not paying for those drinks, Emmy, but he'll drop it for now; as it is, he tips his head a bit, glancing down at where she's got her arm linked with his - dear god, Emmy, you are tiny by the way - before relaxing, settling into the role easily enough.]

Of course, Miss Altava.

[[She is not tiny, she's fun-sized, thanks very much!

...good lord, the cashier is going to hate us]]

I do like a man who agrees with me!

[[Joking aside, this is actually kinda nice!]]

Do you intend to stay in Violet City for a while, Mr Kimblee?

For a few days, at least; I'm travelling with someone - a battling partner, of sorts - and as much as we would like to obtain these badges as quickly as possible, journeys like this do take their toll.

[MY SPINE IS KILLING ME AND I THINK ARCHER IS DEAD.]

Yourself?

Well, I intend to be here until I earn that darn badge, but with any luck it will only be for the next week or so while I train my pokemon up those last few levels.

After that, I suppose I'll continue down the path to the next Gym! Getting the badges is my main goal at the moment.

[[WELL THAT'S

SHE WOULD SUGGEST A MASSAGE BUT THAT WON'T HELP MUCH FOR THE LATTER, WILL IT]]

Would you like some assistance with your training, by any chance? If nothing else, I'd imagine company would make the time go by more quickly.

...you mean you'd help me train?
