pinnedbangs | 4th Struggle [Video/Action] Zephyr Badge getto da ze!

[Lookit this face! Lookit this bright, shining, smiling face that's ready to take on the whole world by storm! And why is that? It might have something to do with that kick-ass badge from the Violet City Gym that he's holding up to the camera.]

They did it! It took a while to figure out how to take him down, but they did it! He only gave me one badge though. Shouldn't there be one for each of them? Guess they'll just take turns. [Like good siblings should. At least he hopes they'll share...] Look at them! They were so happy afterward, I had to treat them to something great today! And since I can afford as much food as I want now, there's more than enough reason to celebrate!

[The camera turns around to take a good look at the champions. All of his pokemon are having a picnic in the nice, clean, garbage free Violet City. It's an impromptu picnic with a (real live) picnic blanket and lots of different kinds of home-made pokemon food and drink. Pidgeot's already cleaning his feathers while Cyndaquil sleeps on a tiny corner of the blanket. Lapras is swimming off its meal and enjoying the better weather more than any of his pokemon. And what of Poochy? She's still enjoying the food and finishing what the others couldn't.]

[The camera creeps closer to Poochy until it's nearly right in her face. She growls slightly.]

Poochy didn't want to battle. [Rin reaches over to pet her -- and she lets him without complaint.] You're not a battling type of girl, are you? But I did find something you were good at. She's better at it than the others are!

[Poochy almost seems to smile as she inches closer to Rin. She adores the praise.]

She eats anything. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have figured out how to make all of this food for them. Right, Poochy? [Poochy barks~ and returns to her meal.]

What sort of food do you feed your pokemon? They have that stuff at the Center and in the Mart but not everything's fresh. [Most of it's like instant noodles -- instant pokefood. And box stuff. And he'll only feed them that when he has nothing to give.] There's a pokémon restaurant somewhere, right? With high-class foreign food?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah. Levels go up and it's a different type. If you're going in order, Azalea town would be next, and it's a gym full of bug types.

Fruit? Beans. Bacon. [Uhh. Not a whole lot different than that. He doesn't eat very well 8|] Rice sometimes.

[First birds and next are bugs? The idea doesn't sit too well with him... But he has a good idea what would defeat bug-types. He doesn't like it one bit. Sure, when video games are just video games there's no second guessing but now?!]

...They're weak against fire-types, right?

Bacon. [ -- He needs a cook in his life.] Do you like a certain type of cuisine?

Fire, flying, ice. Think of what bugs normally don't like. One is a bug and fighting type though, so a bird would work best.

[... Quirking his head slightly, he gives a bit of a blank look.] What's cuisine? [Before he agrees to anything.]

I'm getting the hang of it. [Even if he doesn't much like the idea of attacking sentient insects.] I think Birdie could take down anything at this point.

[Vanitas, what nonsense are you spouting...] You know, cuisine! Food that's made in only certain parts of the world! That country's food of choice becomes their cuisine! It's about style! And flavors!! And traditions!!

Just make sure you don't go in unprepared again. Bugs do carry poison attacks sometimes.

Not really following. I went to different worlds often enough that I never bothered with learning the differences in their food. I ate what I found.

I'll get antidote this time~. [SO DETERMINED NOT TO GET HIS ASS KICKED A SECOND TIME...]

...You went to different worlds and didn't bother to try the regional cuisine? Why? [What was even the point of traveling, my gosh.]

You'll want more than just one.

I wasn't interested. I had other things on my agenda. [Like dropping off my feelings!monsters everywhere.]

How many then? Five should be enough, right? One for each.

[He'd argue that Vanitas had to eat at some point but he can tell it's a lost cause.] You sound like my brother...

If you think they're only going to get poisoned once, I guess that should be enough.

Yeah?

Don't people build up immunity after getting poisoned the first time?

Yeah. But you're no where near as smart as him.

People might, but Pokemon get poisoned frequently enough that I think the only ones that build up resistance are the poison types themselves, and steel types since they can't be poisoned at all.

I may not have my nose in some book like a nerd, but I know a few things. [Assumptions-]
