4th Match // [video / action] Route 38 (November 1st)

[fuelthefire]

[Today's video is focused on a Blaziken - the tall bird is reclining peacefully on the ground not too far from what seems to be a road, head propped on one hand-like claw, and very patiently tolerating a small yellow Charmander using it as a living climbing structure.

The Blaziken only moves when the Charmander starts to wobble, reaching out to steady it with its free claw.

The touching scene is sadly interrupted when the guy behind the camera speaks up, his voice a grumbling yet concerned growl:]

Torch dragons are orange. Is this one sick?

...Omoikane and Gurr?

[ Somehow, he's surprised that Krieg has...any kind of memory for those things. He finds himself leaning back slightly from the camera by reflex. ]

They're good. I caught an Espurr and Mareep to join them.

It is the challenge, as far as this world is concerned. Even greater than earning your second set of badges against Elite teams, and that necessitated both strength and cleverness as it is.

[Cecil had been directionless for almost four years, when the road finally opened. The last few months' training have been his most productive in ages.]

To be honest, it was good for Blitz to be soundly beaten for once. He was getting a little out of control. He's been remarkably well behaved since he lost. Or what passes for good behaviour in his case.

[Too bad it probably won't stick.]

I got a rare one too, so we almost match, huh? But mine’s not a torch dragon, unfortunately.

[chainbroke]

[ Well... since his concerns have been addressed already! ]

Have you named it yet?

[coolskeleton_95]

OH, RIGHT! IN HIS CASE, HE WOULD BE COLD!

[Krieg's memory isn't the greatest for most things, it's true, but Pokemon fascinate him, so he remembers them a lot better than he might otherwise.

....There's no way he's gonna remember Minato's names for them, though.]

The eyeball cat and the electric sheep! Those're good ones!

[...But they're all good ones, as far as Krieg is concerned.]

[arcanaeum]

That's them.

[ Acceptable. You're a weirdo, Krieg, but nice. That's his kind of people. ]

Do you have them too? Or just...Murder Chicken?

[islandshore]

Technically, I've got... geez, I think it's at four now? Two were inherited. Plus, Sora's got a Charizard, too.

[He smiles sheepishly, rubbing his neck. Yes, he has a lot of dragons. Yes, he may have a problem.]

But I'm one of those weirdos with over seventy Pokémon total, and it's as exhausting as it sounds.

[Video]

[agent3]

Ooh. Okay.

[Don't eat the big Pokemon eggs, got it. They must not be good for you.]

Gonna look for eggs later. Or a volcano.

[video]

[fuelthefire]

How many badges do you have?

[Krieg makes an amused sound, somewhere between a snort and a laugh, at Armin's assessment of Blitz's behavior. He's not super familiar with the Voltorb, obviously, but from what he's seen, he knows enough to know the little guy is a little shit.

It takes one to know one, after all.]

Probably not for looo~ng!

[fuelthefire]

[Oh? Sweet, he's down for matching with Goth Lady.]

What's yours?

video

[fuelthefire]

Torch Dragon!

[fuelthefire]

[Pap pap pap! goes a little yellow lizard hand on the screen of Krieg's 'Gear, right over Papyrus' face. What are you doing in that small box, sir??]

Mnahaha...It's definitely hot!

[It's a weird little fire tail, though...he can feel the heat, but it doesn't burn.

...Which is probably a good thing, to be honest.]

[fuelthefire]

[He shakes his head.]

No! Not mine. Doppelganger has the eyeballs and Angel has the sheep!

[fuelthefire]

[Seventy is not a small number, holy heck!]

Why so many?

[The baby Charmander's next move, now that he can see the screen, is to press his nose right up onto it. What the heck is this thing?]

[Video]

[fuelthefire]

The volcano's east of here! Easy to find. Where are you at?

Video;

[schachmeister]

Perhaps if he starts getting out of line again, you should have a rematch.

Though he evolved recently, so he might not be as easily beaten this time.

Video;

[fuelthefire]

Need a good fight, not an easy one!

[And now to switch dangerous-sounding levels of enthusiasm for straight up curiosity:]

What's he look like now?

Video;

[schachmeister]

It's-- Quite honestly, almost exactly the same. He got a little bigger, and he's white on top and red below now.

[...]

... he grew eyebrows for some reason.

video;

[arcanaeum]

Ah...

[ Translating from Krieg to human briefly. He recalls Angel. She's the cute one with the cool hair who he'd seen on the comms a few times. But the other... ]

Doppelganger?

[video]

[kissmyaspis]

[Yeah no, Athena's not going to add on to the pile of explanations. Krieg may be a psycho, but he's not as dumb as other psychos.]

Looks like he and Typhon match.

[Not exactly color-wise though they will once they evolve, not that Athena knows this now, but hey. Oddly-colored dragons!]

[video]

[paladinlost]

Sixteen.

[There's pride and delight and a hint of encouragement in his voice. It can be done! Really!]

Earning them took me exactly two years.

[Video]

[agent3]

The city where we kicked butt!

[Goldenrod.]

Gotta make money first. Wanna buy Maika a present...don't tell, though.
