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.

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!

[He has no idea what he's saying but it still sounds good! Rin laughs and his little gerbil buddies laugh along with him.]

Thanks! What's Grim? You gotta train a lot before heading out. Poochy is definitely ready to take on anyone, dude! But these little guys need more training before they can take on an Otaku like Falkner.

[One dedenne happily agrees and chirps along in affirmation. The others... are both upset and -- ...O-Oh noooooo, one looks like it's about to cry...]

Eh? Huh? You guys can train, jeez! You need to work out first!!

Right, prolly should've mentioned that first off. Grim, say hi!

[ And the Duskull that's been hanging out on Ron's head peers down so he can get in good view of the screen before waving. ]

He's... [ Small pause to think. ] wager his type's called a 'Duskull'? S'that right, mate?

[ There's a chirp of confirmation from said Duskull in question. ]

Anyroad, it looks like your friends there seem more'n eager to take up the challenge like you are. Cudos to them then!

[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?!

Hey Grim! [Rin and five itty bitty Dedenne wave back.]

Duskull... Huh, looks more like a ghost type to me. [Rin that's not what the guy means. Jeez, even Poochy is staring at you in disbelief.

...Rin wished he could understand what this guy was saying. It was all so confusing ... but at leas the general message came across. The little dedenne all cheer at Ron's praise? Praise. Definitely praise.]

I've only had these guys for a week. If I put them in battle now, they'd get hurt for no reason.

[Aaaaah, that felt good! Yelling was awesome!! But he hadn't expected to disturb anyone.

Despite the fact that it was early evening in a fairly populated city.]

Oh, my bad. [Let's see, who's talkin'. Oh, it's a trainer with THE COOLEST LOOKING LION THING. WHAT.] -- I've never seen that one before!

[Sorry, you might need to ask your question again...]

[Believe it!]

Dude, hey!! 'Course I am! [HE HAS SO MUCH TO TELL ATSURO IT AIN'T EVEN FUNNY]

Rin! You're back!

[A friend returns and he remembers. That's more than he could ask for in this world.]

Oh man, you missed a LOT while you're gone!

[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.

[And he actually had all his pokemon with him this time!]

Well, don't just leave it at that! Tell me what I've been missing out on! [The best part of having friends who remember is not having to go through the awkward of re-introductions. As such, Rin's super excited - as excited as those dedenne are to see someone their trainer obviously enjoyed.]

--Oh, Atsuro, there's a bunch I didn't get to tell you either, like in that forest!

Cecil? [Whaaaaaaaaaat two awesome people he remembers! Gosh, that was great!]

Cecil!! Has it really? It feels like only a day passed to me. [Poochy barked at that. It was definitely a "IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE A DAY TO ME, YOU IDIOT!" sort of sound.]

Dude, that would be totally awesome if they all came back! D'ya think they could?

It's certainly been more than one day. September is almost over, and you've missed a prom, unexplained crystals and a shark hurricane, amongst other events.

[The same old Pokémon World routine, in other words.]

If it's even slightly possible, they surely will. That sort of determination can be felt from quite far.

[He doesn't know what a prom is and he's really about to ask but but but but crystals?] A shark hurricane??!!!

[But you know what? As weird as that sounds, it doesn't dampen his mood. See that smile, Cecil? Those words had the power to make Rin feel like a million dollars.]

A shark hurricane, yes.

[Because that bears repeating.]

And you'd think that would have convinced most trainers to never approach a Sharpedo again, but from what I understand quite a few were caught that day. You missed the chance to stare in horror at very foolhardy people, or to show great foolhardiness yourself.

[That comes out much more fondly than it should.]

A real live shark hurricane... Are there any pictures? [Unlikely, but he thought he'd ask anyway.

Awwwww, Cecil, you enjoy his boyish antics!]

I know what I'd do if I saw a shark hurricane in person! What did you do?

I've not thought to take any, but I've no doubt someone somewhere must have had the idea. It was quite the sight, even when witnessed over the Pokégear or from a firmly closed window.

[Because there was no way he was going out when there were sharks flying about.]

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!"]

Does it really? [He takes a look at Poochy for confirmation. She doesn't know but hey, if the other human says so, then it must be true.] Then we'll totally have to repeat this!

[Who needs sleep? 8D

Poochy hears that bit of cheering on. If it were possible for her to look simultaniously smug, pleasently surprised, and wholesomely pleased, then she has achieved it. "Thank you!" she barks back. "I don't plan on losing!"]

[He's trying so hard to imagine but it's just too impossible!]

D'ya think the sharks can still fly even though they're not in the hurricane anymore? [These are the real questions.]

[Blink.] Uh, yeah. I got it from when they were swarming, apparently. He's lazy as heck, though. [True enough, said Litleo has gone to sleep, complete with a nose bubble.]

...I doubt it, considering that their secondary type is Dark.

[But for a few moments, he seriously pondered the question.]

I bet that's just him. Maybe in battle he'll really come alive! What type is he?

[S-Soooo cute! And kinda cool-lookin' too!!]

Dark type, huh... [Like Poochy.

He takes a look at her, trying to imagine a tornado of Poochy. Nope. Impossible.]

...What makes a dark type pokemon, "dark"?

Yeah! I'll tell you all about things you missed and you tell yours in returned!

Like there's a whole bunch of new Pokemon appearing this month!

[RIN RIN RIN LET HIM TELL YOU ABOUT HIS NEW POKEMON]
