victory_road | 6th Match // [video] Violet

[The video starts off with one supremely zoomed-in eye - Krieg's eye, surrounded as usual by the eyehole of his mask. Once the device is going he pulls back to a slightly less uncomfortable distance (for the viewer, anyway, let's be real here), and announces:]

MnahahAHAHA! THERE'S NO FENCE ON THIS FENCE!

[That is one proud Psycho. He flips the 'Gear so that it no longer displays his mask-covered face (you're welcome), but instead one (1) Electrode, looking like a very smug asshole, and one (1) enormous - well. That has to be a Muk, no Grimer is that big. One Muk, looking very pleased, and...just a tiny bit demure? Well, it sure is nice to know at least one of Krieg's Pokemon has some modesty.]

The Spark Ball and the Slag Stack owned the birds!

[Spark Ball lights up briefly with a crackle of smug static, while Slag Stack seems to gather itself up as if to sit (or stand?) a bit straighter, and wave one oozing limb at the camera. They are the champions, yes, it is true!]

The bug gym is next!

[Only Krieg could make a harmless announcement sound like a threat.

...But, let's be real, here; now that the Vault Crew is taking on the Gym Challenge, the bug gym's days are numbered.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Krieg sees the problem Jean is having with Eren's pungent trash juice, and it just makes him laugh.]

Pffmnuhuhuhu...If you don't wanna get dirty, stay out of the mud!

[At that remark, Slag Stack surges upward with another happy cry of "Muuuuuk!" to briefly take over the video feed again, clearly in agreement. Krieg has to hold his 'Gear up higher again for a few moments until the sludge 'mon subsides again.]

How many monsters do you have now?

[Eren pouts and waves his little arms in the air; he is not leaking right now, stop being mean! Once Jean has checked the floor underneath him and not found any puddles, he lets Eren climb aboard, and the Trubbish grins and waves happily at Slag Stack from his new perch.]

A lot! I've got... eighteen now. [Jean shakes his head.] I need to slow down for awhile and train the ones I have before I get anymore, I think.

Do you have anyone new?

Not yet! Still waiting for the mystery egg to hatch! Then I'll have six.

[And then he'll be done collecting monsters. While he's finally gotten over his reluctance to confine his pokemon buddies to their balls, putting them in storage is still something he's not at all willing to do.]

[Jean doesn't like putting his in storage either, so while he only has six officially on the team, the other ones are usually running around somewhere, playing and doing their things. How else is he supposed to always have shade available, if he doesn't have Colossal Treetrunk? Who else would stand in a bucket of water and be his nightstand if Burrito were in storage?]

I bet your mystery egg is something good! Mine hasn't hatched yet, but Armin got a Voltorb.

[Jean's tone makes it clear that he thinks that is an excellent Pokemon to randomly hatch.]

I saw! It looks like a good baby spark ball!

[Krieg wholeheartedly agrees - it is an excellent pokemon to randomly hatch.]

Blondie's too scared of shocks.

He's going to have to get over that if he's going to have a Voltorb!

[Jean, you... you really shouldn't sound so delighted about that.]
