Dive 07 [Video / Action for Goldenrod]

[manlymanly]

Yo there, Johto! How's this sunny yet fluffy snow weather treatin' ya? Good? Bad? Frosty? Chill?

Regardless of how it's treatin' ya, I've started on the path much traveled at long last! I'm marching down victory road, one gym at a time-- and by that I mean Goldenrod is the first step in many. *It would be at this time Aoto flashes the Plain Badge with a cackle.* See that, Little Emperor Saber? I'm laying my claim just for you. I even hid a flag with my face on it in there to mark my conquered territory. Good luck finding it~

I need to make a serious investment in types other than water if I'm going to do a clean sweep...

... ah, right. If anyone else challenges that place in the coming days, that giant whale sized crater in the middle if the gym? It was totally there when I first walked in.



And another thing! ... do uh. Do Pokemon eggs like, go bad? I've had one for a few months now, but I never actually hatched it since it was meant for a friend... It's not going to spoil or something, right?

Were a ruffian like you goaded a nobleman such as I upon my land, the punishment would be an immediate beheading.

[ Did that voice come from behind? Why... Yes! That voice is coming from behind you, Aoto. About a few feet away, standing there, is Saber, looking unperturbed in the weather despite her state of dress, with an Altaria and a Scyther trailing behind her. ]

[action] 1/2

--gah! *This is a perfectly manly way of whipping around after being startled, okay.* S-Saber?!

[action]

[manlymanly]

... ... you move pretty fast. And I think my head looks best when it's seated nicely between my shoulders, so I think I'd have to do a bit of revolting if that were the punishment for taunting.

[action]

[autocratic]

For another time, then. [ Says this flippantly with a wave of her hand. ]

So that is a Badge... Such a trifle looking thing for so much trouble. I suppose it cannot be helped. I will retrieve my own in due time.

[action]

[manlymanly]

Uwah, how scary... *rubbing at the side of his head.*

It is pretty small, isn't it? *Holding it up again.* I kind of expected it to be a bit bigger, so I could attach it right to shirt... You know, "Badge of Honor" style.

[action]

[autocratic]

Hmph. [ She lets her hand fall on her waist, shifting her stance. Also, Aoto may or may not notice the wooden jagged longsword strapped to her lower back. ]

Do you not have a case? I am sure there will be a time to brag about your exploits when you present them upon challenging those... Elite Four, if I remember correctly.

[action]

[manlymanly]

*... oh. well. that's sure a thing.* Just for the record though, my neck is sturdy enough to resist something made of wood.

Nah, no case. That kind of display just isn't my style. It's got to be more manly than just something I whip out and flip open! Unless it's like... a leather case, then I could... hmmm... Maybe I can just make one... *Great, now he's side tracked.*

Everybody and their mom is getting that badge. Gym leader must be some kind of pushover.

[Not to insult your accomplishment there, Aoto.]

[manlymanly]

Ah? I wouldn't call her a pushover... She just wasn't packing a full team. Kinda disappointing, really.

[ripped]

Most of them only use three, don't they? The girl in Celadon did.

[manlymanly]

... for real? That's a pretty weird choice with them being the big bosses. I mean, I still don't have a full team myself, but they could at least have four...

[ripped]

Not much of a challenge if you come prepared. I heard some guy say the Kanto ones are packing crazy strong teams behind the scenes, though.

[video]

[groovethread]

...wait, Pokémon have eggs? [That is the most important part here of the entire message. She might have skipped over that section in the manual.]

[video]

[manlymanly]

Ah? Well, yeah... It's pretty messed up sometimes, but that's just how it is, as far as I know.

[video]

[groovethread]

Huh. Who knew? Well, if they're sort of like living things, I doubt the eggs go bad. You're planning to hatch it soon?

[video]

[manlymanly]

Yeah, I figured that was the case... still, I don't got any experience with them.

As for hatching it... I dunno. I got it for a girl I know who left, and it's a really tiny pink thing... I'm not sure I could raise that sort of Pokemon with a straight face.

[video]

[groovethread]

You could always trade it or give it to someone else. Like, I don't know, a Pokémon adoption. But I think you've already thought of that, haven't you?

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

[That gets a chuckle out of him.] I'm pretty sure there wasn't a crater when I last checked the gym, but it has been...months.

As for the egg, no, they don't "go bad" if you don't hatch them immediately. We handle enough of them in the Breeding Centre to know that much.

[Video]

[manlymanly]

Hey hey, craters just sometimes show up, you know? There are a lot of heavy 'mons out there!

And that's good to know! I've had that little pink thing waiting to hatch for ages. ... which I guess is kind of bad in a way too...

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Not without something or someone creating it.

Why not just give the egg to your friend? The pokemon's probably waited long enough.

video; only six days late y u p ....

[ex_cashcow493]

What is the meaning of this? [ Seriously, Emperor Saber? ] You intend to play games with some doppelganger?

video; uwaaah

[manlymanly]

Ah, if it isn't the original Cutest Knight! *cackle* What's wrong with that, eh? She's pretty damn amusing so far. It's kind of funny too, almost like seeing you make a lot of amusing expressions.

video; i strive to be the latest in this game

[ex_cashcow493]

Is the original not always superior? [ Gosh, she's starting to sound like Gilgamesh. Someone put her out of her misery. ] An embarrassing display for certain, but I am content so long as many others can tell the difference between us.

Will you not tell me of this game the lot of you are playing?

video; a admirable goal

[manlymanly]

Hooo? You aren't worried about someone picking sides, are you? I think it's pretty darn easy to tell the two of you apart though.

The name of it, huh? I doubt it has any official name beyond a race to the top.

video; a goal i do well with thank you very much

[ex_cashcow493]

No, of course not. Were it a competition between the two, she would be overwhelmed. It would not be fair with my expertise of this area and her novicehood.

A race to the top? To the Elite Four then?
