woofdad[The recorded video opens on the beginning of a challenge in the Violet City gym, filmed from some distance away, well outside the area of combat itself. After a turbulent battle, the child - who some may recognize as the same child arguing with people on the network about whether there’s such thing as an “Espcheep” some time ago - challenging Faulkner claims victory, and the man holding the camera cheers, sounding about as delighted as the kid themself looks.
As soon as the kid comes running out of the arena, carrying their victorious but exhausted Pikachu, the camera’s viewpoint drops toward the ground as Grant stoops down to scoop them both up with his free arm.] Chip, that was great! Wanna show ‘em the badge?
I told you all Espcheep is the best! [Chip holds up the Pikachu (a bit greenish for her species, but still very clearly such) with a proud beaming smile, and the Pikachu pumps her arms and gives a weak "Chaaa~!" of agreement.] She's still weaker but she did it! I knew she could!
[With that very important message given, Chip puts her up onto their shoulder so they can pull out the Zephyr Badge from their pocket, shoving it right up at the camera for maximum exposure.
Grant gives a brief snort of laughter, and, with some one-handed fumbling, turns the camera to show both Chip and himself onscreen.] Well, there you have it, Chip’s official statement on their first gym victory. We gotta get these guys to the Center now, so, uh-- thanks for watching this!
[A little more of that fumbling to operate the Gear with one hand, accompanied by the muffled sound of Grant congratulating Chip again, and the recording ends midway through some laughter about how he “doesn’t know how to end these things”.]
