014 [video/action] backdated to the afternoon

[The time has finally come for Rika to battle Whitney. The battle goes by quickly as Rika manages to fly through the first five pokémon with her Ampharos and Mr. Mime. However, when Whitney's Miltank comes out, Rika runs into some trouble, but she is able to defeat Whitney with her Ninetales. As usual, Whitney bursts into tears after the battle, prompting Rika to comfort her.]

There, there. [She pats Whitney on the head, but it doesn't seem to help much.] It is only one loss. If you become stronger and believe you can do it, then you can win battles in the future. [It doesn't stop Whitney's tears, but she calms down enough to hand the badge to Rika. After deciding that anything else she said wouldn't help the situation, Rika walks over to the Gear, which is being held by a Shinx. She takes the device and scoops the pokémon up into in her arms.] Mii. I did it.

[She smiles at the screen for a few moments before pointing to her Shinx.] This is my new team member. She hatched several days ago. [She smiles again, this time at the Shinx, before looking back at the screen.] I wish good luck to anyone else who decides to take on the gym.

[The feed cuts off as Rika heads towards the gym's exit.]

*and somebody is down by the exit waiting for her! His Ralts dangling from his hands as he greets her with a smile.*

Congratulations, Rika-san! You looked really intense out there, as always.

[Keiichi is chilling at the exit with a Chimchar over his shoulder.]

That's my girl! You sure did give Whitney a run for her money.

Thank you. I try to make sure that I am always very intense.

Mii. Thank you, Keiichi. Although, she did give me trouble near the end.
combat_butler: (I refuse to believe you made this.)

Mmm... An intense Rika-san is definitely a Rika-san to be wary of.

I swear that Miltank is a pain. I wonder what the next gym leader after this one will be like.

There is no need to be wary if it isn't directed at you, though.

Probably much more difficult. They seem to increase by difficulty a lot.
combat_butler: (Please don't unleash hell upon me.)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-01-07 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahaha... Still, I certainly wouldn't want to be in your way when you get like that!

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-01-08 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. Does she always cry like that?

Nice job Rika.

The first two gyms were flying and bug based and this was about normal-types, so... Sheesh, this is a lot to think about.

As long as you never do anything to have it directed at you, you will be all right. Although, I don't think you would do something that would.

[identity profile] complexrestart.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Mii. It is. Maybe it will be Fire or Rock.

[identity profile] complexrestart.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
I believe so. Everyone I know that has challenged her has ended with Whitney crying.

Mii. Thank you, Smoker.
justicereigns: (I'm listening)

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-01-08 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
You think she'd get over it. It's just a battle.

Was it difficult?

[identity profile] complexrestart.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
I agree. I believe that she needs to learn that winning is not everything.

... A little. I had trouble with her Miltank.
justicereigns: (getting stronger)

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-01-08 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Or at least how to get stronger so she stops losing constantly.

What's so tough about it?

[identity profile] complexrestart.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Hopefully she will learn that it's what she needs to do.

It's the highest level, and the one that she's saving until things get difficult for her.
justicereigns: (dark hallways)

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-01-08 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Certainly something to be careful of then.

[identity profile] complexrestart.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Have you challenged any gyms yet, Smoker?
combat_butler: (Pondering the 4th Wall.)

Re: [action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-01-08 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha... I... I definitely plan to keep it that way!

So, ah... Is there anything you want to do in celebration?
justicereigns: (waiting justice)

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-01-08 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Just Falkner.

I was hoping to challenge Bugsy, but halfway to Azalea Straw-Hat decided to go back to Violet to fight Falkner. Then Kazooie came back and Hina showed up, so it's like were going in circles.

Congratulations, Rika!

[With all the shining enthusiasm of a thousand suns- or one derpy friend]

Mm... Then I'm lucky I have Golduck for both of those. Water is strong against both of those types.

Mii. Being congratulated is enough, but you could treat me at a cafe if you would like.
