PUZZLE 004 [ROUTE 32 - VIDEO/ACTION]

[snapandscoot]

[[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!]]

[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.

[snapandscoot]

[[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?

[explosivecombat]

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?

[snapandscoot]

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]]

[explosivecombat]

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.

1/2

[snapandscoot]

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

2/2

[snapandscoot]

[[SHE IS EXCITE]]

That would be wonderful, Mr Kimblee! I have to admit, I can't handle much more training on wild Pokemon only!

[explosivecombat]

You receive far more experience training against higher-leveled creatures, believe me; the routes were incredibly annoying when it came to training Dorian and Abdiel, to say nothing of my strongest.

I see no reason why I couldn't assist you, especially given the access to the Centers; Archer and I learned early on that it's much easier and far less time-consuming to train off of each other rather than attempt to constantly battle wild Pokémon.

[snapandscoot]

Well, as long as you promise not to go too easy on me, I can't see why I shouldn't accept your generous offer~

[[This is a rather glorious day, she is very satisfied by this day good lord]]

I have a feeling that we're going to get along quite well, Mr Kimblee!

[explosivecombat]

[It's been quite a while since he's gotten to do something along these lines - casual socializing is something that he had done a fair amount of back before the war, particularly spending time in the company of women; for obvious reasons, that hadn't been an option after the campaign in Ishval. He had regretted nothing about how he had spent his time after his release from Central Prison in Amestris; he still regrets nothing about it. At the same time, in a way it's...nice, to be able to do this again.

It's been a rather glorious day indeed.]

Likewise, Miss Altava; it's been quite a pleasure so far.
