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

[pinnedbangs]

[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.

What's a bloke got to say to that except "Best of British to you!"? Haven't taken on the gym myself yet... wager I'd wait a bit until my Grim's tough enough to take him on.

[ Have a grin for that though. ]

Your team looks ready to take on anything at this point!

[Danny was trying to get Leon the Litleo to do some training, but the shouting has grabbed both their attentions.]

Hey! The heck're you shouting about over there?

[Atsuro almost couldn't believe what he's seeing.]

Whoa, Rin? You're back?!

[video]

[paladinlost]

[My, there's a familiar face. A very determined familiar face.]

...With that kind of enthusiasm, I'd not be surprised if you somehow summoned them all back at your side, if only so they can watch your impressive victory.

[Enthusiasm, volume, they're the same thing, right?]

Welcome back, Rin. It's been some time.

[beholdmydemons]

Wouldn't it be better to do the spirit-rousing right before you go in? It'll all wear off by tomorrow. Do it again in the morning.

[And wake everyone up. c:

Orthrus doesn't give a shit and that Poochyena is a cutie; he worms his way into the camera view and barks "Go, go, go, win!"]

video | five years later...

[You know this guy looks somehow familiar. That's the second thought he has after this video (first one being that this guy has a good attitude). Hmm... he even has a brother...]

This might be an odd question... but is your brother named Yukio by any chance?
