pinnedbangs | 8th Struggle | [Action/Video] | Revenge of the Blue-Eyed Devil Boy

[Violet City, a place that smelled of new opportunities, shiny badges, birds, grapes, and revenge. Revenge just happened to take on the visage of a tough-looking kid with sweet intentions.]

What's up?

[Well howdy-do Johto! This bright ball of teenage sunshine is more than happy to greet the masses. It has been such a long time since he has last seen everyone, right? It - It honestly didn't feel like such a long time, but judging by how Poochy nearly mauled him upon return, he figured it had to have been at least six months.

Oh well! He was here now!

Despite how early in the evening it was, there was nothing that could dampen the force of that smile. Yes, he did look a little drained, and yes that was a mini collection of dedenne perched his head and shoulders. His smile clearly said that this particular trainer was ready to take on the world by storm - a vengeance storm. He points the camera towards the Violet City Gym. Glorious, isn't it? The video's image stays right on the gym as Rin continues to speak.]

It's not everyday that a guy gets a chance to kick some Bird Man's ass. We've challenged this guy before and he kicked my ass three times before I could get a badge. I couldn't have done it without the old team. But Poochy and I are gonna make sure that this is gonna be the fourth and final time, right girl? [ARF ARF!!

Wow, it had been a while... Right. Now or never. Rin takes a deep breath and shouts out:]

This is for Blue and Birdie!! This is for Soba and Saki and Sei!! THIS IS FOR ACORN AND THE BABY ZORUA TOO AND T-BONE AND BROWNIE!!

Poochy, we're going to get the badge back for them!! So Bird Man, you better watch your feathered ass 'cause Rin Okumura and Poochy are comin' in to kick it into last year!!!

[Now, Poochy didn't really like battling. It just wasn't her thing. But there was no way she would back down after that sort of pep talk! She remembered those guys well and she missed the missing ones. And if it meant that they were still remembered by getting that one badge, then she could do it! She would definitely do it!!

The camera swings back to Rin's face. He looks ready for anything.]

We're gonna take on that guy ...tomorrow morning!! After a good night's sleep!! [If his grin was huge before, then it's just brimming over with unbridled excitement now.]

So keep your eyes peel -- uuuuhh open!! Keep 'em open! Wiiiiide open!! For the biggest battle ever! [Oh yeah it was gonna rock!!

But there was one more thing he had to say while he was still out of Yukio's immediate viewpoint. His voice lowers just a bit. He almost covers the video's screen, as if that could really shield the information from leaking out.]

Hey... so, whoever looked after my brother while I was gone? Thanks.

How're you sure? He's sleepin' around like one!

S-S-Seventeen?!!! How do you even hold that many?!! [oh course he spurts and gawks like a chicken but but DAT'S A LOTTA POKEMON -- says the guy with too many dedenne

but he just barely manages to compose himself for his follow up response -]

S-So you have seventeen French Bread dogs that fell from the sky?!

A Paladin? And you could do all that on your own?

[He looks - he's happy to hear that, yeah, but there's also something almost reverent in his expression. Nope, that is most certainly respect.]

[Danny picks up the sleeping cub.] He's not!

It's not that much, truly. My son can use nearly all the same weapons and has stronger magic, while many mages can master dozens of spells to face any possible opponent. And my best ability is not particularly flashy or impressive.

You're a dad?!!

[I MEAN THAT OTHER STUFF IS COOL TOO BUT WHAT]

Alright. [OH HE HAS AN IDEA]

...How about I try to help you out? My gerbil has been wanting to battle for a while, so maybe he can go against your lion? [Said gerbil aka dedenne is perched on Rin's shoulder. It waves enthusiastically at Danny, little sparks flying from its cheeks.]

Why yes, I am. Of a boy barely older than you, or at least that was the case four years ago.

[Or so he assumes, from Rin's apparent age.]

Different worlds make keeping track of relative ages difficult, after all.

Seventeen French--what, no! I mean I have one French dog and the rest of them are all new species! So only the dog and the cat fell from the sky!

Oh.

[There was no bread involved, was there.]

Okay, so lemme get this straight. You have a French dog, a cat, and somethin' else? And only the cats and dogs came raining from the sky.

My dad was a Paladin too! ...So all this time, you're probably just as old as my old man.

Y'know, your son must really miss you.

...Well, we can try. [Pops the sleep bubble.] Hey, wake up! [The Litleo looks rather annoyed at Danny for waking him, but doesn't move to retaliate.]

Perhaps, or perhaps not. I did become a paladin at a relatively young age, after all. Not too long before I had Ceodore, in fact.

[Practically a teen paladin, practically a teen dad. How nice.]

Hopefully he does not. We've been long told that our loved ones are not aware of our absence, and I'd like it to be true.

[No, there isn't.]

That's right. Just cats and dogs falling from the sky. The rest shows up like a normal swarm, just...species we never saw before.

[Dedenne carefully climbs down Rin's shoulder and hops over to Danny and Litleo. I-It's puffing out its cute little chest.]

Ready when you are!

Okay, now I got it!

Do they evolve into cool things or have never-before-seen moves?

[Yeah, that was true, wasn't it. ...But Rin did miss his dad. --He tries to brush it off.]

...Then forget what I said. As a paladin, did you defend the people too?

[Danny sets the Litleo down. He looks rather unimpressed.] Use Ember!

[Leon the Litleo yawns in response.]

No evolutions or new moves yet! But if there's any, I'll make sure to tell you!

[NEW, NEVER SEEN BEFORE POKEMON INFO.]

[. . . ] Wow you weren't kidding...

Okay then, little guy, use ... something! [Dedenne looks a little confused but OKAY HERE IT GOES. He charges right at Litleo and - nuzzles its face.]

I'm holdin' you to it!

Oh oh, but what about these little guys? [all of the dedenne look at Atsuro expectantly]

Sorry, man. I got one of the lil guys already.

Yeah.

[Litleo snorts and recoils. WTF is this.]

Of course; defending the people is one of my main duties. The people of Baron, mostly, but also everyone else in the world should it become necessary.

[There's a slight touch of sadness in his voice, like it's been necessary more often than it should have.]

[wow litleo way to be rude!!!! Dedenne is insulted and decides to smack him in the face! Take that]

...Does your pokemon know how to battle at all?
