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.]

Bird versus bird, the cockfight of a lifetime? ...There's always the option of starting a kicking contest in Cianwood, but it'd not be quite the same.

[Bird versus weird kicking thing doesn't have the same ring to it.]

Pfmnahahahahaha! Kicking's just as good as a cockfight!

[Honestly, the only thing that really qualifies any of Krieg's Pokemon battles as "cockfights" is the fact that Murder Chicken is, actually, some type of cockerel. A weirdly human-shaped cockerel, but one nonetheless.]

He can fight fish for a challenge!

[Maybe. Depending on the level of the water-type in question.]

Fish...? You'll want Cerulean, though I hear their base level is relatively low.

[...Is there no way to find a proper challenge in this place? Really?]

There's also the option of finding other foreign trainers who are interested in friendly matches, of course.

I thought the gyms were supposed to be a challenge!

[It's pretty annoying to find out that they're really...not. At all. Although Cecil's next suggestion definitely has some merit.]

Should probably do that. I know Sparky's spark ball wants a rematch.

[To start. Too bad Jean and Co are in Kanto right now.]

They can be if you're ill-prepared. My first attempt was a complete failure.

[When your best bet is a Ghost-type, and your second is a Butterfree...]

To avenge a terrible loss, or because the first match was unforgettably enjoyable?

Pfmnahahaha! The first one!

[Poor Blitz took it really hard.]

Next time we see him, maybe.

It would be polite to allow him to erase that loss. Along with the next one, and the next, and the next...

[When Cecil believes, he believes strongly.]
