pinnedbangs | 3rd Struggle [Video] Pokemon Center

Hey. ... You know, until this morning I thought I was still dreaming. This place is full of amazing things and so many different animals - pokémon!

[Yes, that's Rin, sitting inside of the pokemon center. If the tell-tale music wasn't enough of a giveaway, then certainly the decor was enough to tip off even the least observant of viewers. Rin doesn't seem too different than before. His hair is still unkempt, his clothes as clean as he could keep them, and even his smile was just as sunny. Despite appearances, he still looked far too tired. One could say he almost looked sad.]

I went to challenge that Falkner guy and he defeated my team pretty badly. [And there it was - that small flicker of something wrong -- ] Nurse Joy's taking care of them now. Falkner's looked so cool in flight! They were amazing! Poochy, Pidgey, and Blue did their best out there. Even before that we walked through that cave and saw so many other pokémon! I know Shi-- .. .. a friend of mine would have liked a few of them. [Rin becomes quiet for a moment. Bellsprout would be the sort of pokemon Shiemi would like, he thinks. He did look sad now, but he fought his frown with a smile.]

[Shit, he was stalling now, wasn't he? Rin shrugs his shoulders, suddenly unsure of what he wanted to ask in the first place.] ...These pokémon aren't just for fighting, are they? They're like animals. Hell, they're the closest things to animals Johto has. If I had to get a badge, why can't I fight that Falkner guy myself?

Probably. You'd just have to spend some time lying in the Pokemon Center.

Then it would be okay to fight for my pokemon! [He'll just have to tell Poochy to call out his attacks for him...]

[Oh dear...]

Suit yourself...

He wouldn't be much competition anyway. I mean all the gym leaders and those kids who ask for battles on the road look like they've never been in a fight. Or even an argument.

[He agrees wholeheartedly with that toothpick statement. Izumo was probably thicker than that guy! Nero's laughter puts him off guard, but he just presses forward with his questions.]

Wait, you have?

Made a living out of it.

[There's something in his tone that's a bit challenging, as if to say 'got a problem with that'?]

Anyway, even a twig like you could probably take bird-boy on.

Yeah, I do. They seem to like it.

Not just for fighting, but several like to do it. Getting a badge is supposed to test the "bonds", the training you've done with your Pokemon.

Ah, well.

[She scrounges around off screen, before pulling out a small sketch and showing it;

]

She was tiny, and she only knew one move.

[He has noticed that a few pokemon are energetic enough to love battling.]

What kind of Pokemon do you have? Some of mine like battles and some of them don't like it when I call them out.

[And a couple of minutes later, a text message will pop up on the screen]

falkner only uses flying types, right?

[Ahaha how cool, this guy made a living out of fighting! Good thing Rin isn't about that life anymore. Ahaha --

and now Rin isn't laughing anymore. It must have something to do with being called a 'twig'.]

Just because you look like an Arnold Schwarzenegger knock-off doesn't make me a twig!

[After she said "suit herself" he sort of went to try out his idea by training with his pokemon. He has literally gotten himself into a "battle".

Not the best idea. However, he does see the text and responds accordingly.]

Yeah. He had mostly birds.

Did you draw that? [Artistic skills aside, that was a really cute pokemon~. So much better than what he had in mind.]

Is she still that tiny?

Bonds? ...What, are we tested on how well we get along with our pokemon? [Bro. Bro that sounds weird.]

Nah, pretty sure you being a twig makes you a twig.

[Though yes, he is nicely muscular and quite tall, thank you for noticing.]

Your puppy still chewing on you? [Asking for it? Liiiittle bit.]

Right. Thanks.

[If she arrives at Violet in a few days time and the first thing she sees is him headbutting a Pokemon...]

I have a lot. I've been here a while.

Right now my team's a pikachu, luxray, arcanine, aggron, slowking and joltik.

Most of them like battles, but that's 'cause I train a lot.

Yes, a long time ago.

Not anyore. She evolved two times.

[She picks up the feed and heads to window.]

Salty!

[So. Rin. From a tiny egg pokemon.

TO A GIANT BIRD now conveniently flying level in front of the window at Namine happily from outside. Namine presses a hand to Salty's face, showing Rin.]

This is Salty now.

Toge!

Yeah, something like that. How well you work together.

You know I thought the same thing when I got here. [It's why he doesn't go after many of the badges. It doesn't strike him as sporting.]

But it's more like training troops. If they were out in the wild they'd have to fight even more, but this way they learn better techniques for it.

How long is "a while"?

[He pulls out his handy dandy pokedex and starts looking them up as fast as he can, but all he gets is pikachu and slowking.] ...Could you say that again?

Train them like make them fight each other or those kids on the road?

[FLIPS A TABLE - fsdafdf must stay cool must remember that he's not about fighting anyone unless they hurt someone fdsafsda!!!]

Quit calling me a twig, Schwarzenegger!! Poochy - [oh gosh that name sounds so girly now] - isn't doing that anymore! [she's moved onto his legs...]

A year and a half? Maybe more.

Pikachu, Slowking, Arcanine, Luxray, Aggron, and Joltik. That's just my party though. Not the ones in my box.

A bit of both. Depends on how I feel like training.

[GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP]

That little egg became that huge bird?! I-I mean she's very -- pretty -- how was it that it became that?!

...That doesn't sound bad. But why does a gym leader have to do that? What's so great about him?
