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

Don't sound so excited. You might burst an artery.

I'm excited, it's nice to know you finally got past first guy.

[ -- wait. Is this actual praise? Well, damn, color him impressed!]

Then, thanks a lot! But it was really a close call. [JUST WAIT UNTIL HE TELLS HIS POKEMON WHAT KILLUA SAID.]

[Technically that was still a back-handed compliment. I guess with brats that the best you can get for the most part.]

I never got to ask, exactly what kind of pokémon do you have? I mostly just had Taser handle that gym for the most part.

I got through it on the first try.

[s-sob...]

You named it "Taser". [Why is he not surprised.]

We didn't know that Falkner would start kicking ass the moment we got there! [GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR TASERS.]

It seem pretty appropriate for an electric sheep that seems to have a pretty big hate for flying types. [It's sort of sad but not surprising that his pokémon has issues.]

You could have ask around and research about him before you went. [DON'T DISMISS HIS TASER.]

Why not a name for a sheep, like -- ... something not like a weapon. [okay he has no good names. He'd go with something generic like "Cottonball" or "Sheep". Or "Sparky".]

[WHY IS IT ONLY AFTER THE BATTLE THAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING "OH WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK FOR HELP"??!!]

I-I wanted to go in cold rooster!

Because that would be boring plus tasers are pretty mild. [Blunt and to the point.]

Isn't the phrase suppose to be "cold turkey?". I hope you're not going to take that kind of approach with every gym.

In what world are tasers "mild"? [Just as blunt.]

That's how it's said...? I'll be better prepared next time. This was the first challenge THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE] so it was a learning process!

Mine I guess they're just mildy at best.

I'd hate to see how you do in school, if this is how you go about learning.

[Just gonna look at you strangely Killua...] What world do you come from again?

[Aw, right in the school-nads!!] I-I do okay! [When he's moving, yes, otherwise...]

Not from yours probably. If it's got places like Japan, America or Italy, I'm not from there then.

[Just going to give you a look.]

Right. [Apparently there are tasers but no Japan. Surely, someone must come from an alternate universe. It totally isn't Rin.]

What? I'm not a book-learner, but I learn just fine! [THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER SMARTY BOOK EATER.]

Funny thing is your world's geography looks like a mixed up of version of mine. [If we go by that logic, then Killua is technically African.]

You're simple minded, I wouldn't expect you to be great books. [He knows your type, lucky for you he likes that about you.]

[That. Is seriously cool.] ...So your world is like mine, but messed up beyond recognition?

-- I am not simple-minded!! How old are you anyway?

From your point of view, from mine yours is the messed up one. Beyond recognition is a bit much, people can still point out the your continents pretty easily.

I'm thirteen, I'll be fourteen in July.

[How the f-- ] You're younger than I am.

I thought that would have been obvious.

I-It wasn't!!

Why did you think I was older than?

Don't tell me. you're blind on top of being slow.
