Video from Indigo Plateau! [backdated to Dec 18]

[dreamsofahero]

*The video starts off with a series of clips of pokemon battles strung together, all featuring Sion and his team. The first features Dusk the absol, landing a powerful Night Slash against a bronzong belonging to a masked man. The second, Valiant the gallade faces off against a ninja's toxicroak. Then Valiant is seen again, this time up against a machamp belonging to a rather strong-looking trainer. Following that, a clip of Just the lucario readying a powerful punch against a silvery-haired woman's absol.

Finally, (and perhaps most importantly) the background music changes to a battle theme few if any have heard before, the video this time showing a clip of Sion's glaceon Jina readying a blizzard against a certain caped dragon master's dragonite, as a hailstorm swirls all about the battlefield.

Then, after the montage fades out, is Sion with a smug grin, a certain dark-haired mage doing his best to avoid drawing attention in the background while Sion holds up a fancy-looking certificate.*

I suppose if anyone else wants to know what the Elite Four have on their teams without finding out first hand, Ryner and I could certainly spoil the surprise.

Ah, and I have a copy of the recordings of Ryner's battles, too, if anyone's interested.

*aaaand he's turning it off before Ryner can have a chance to protest*

They probably won't.

...Ahh, well, it makes Rose happy, if nothing else.

Making one's starter happy is usually an excellent idea, if only because they know where we sleep.

["Clefairy~ ♥"]

...This is true.

Their power over the rest of the team is also not to be underestimated. Especially if the team in question would like the opportunity to show off their power.

["Tik!" And there's a chirp from the tinyspider in a top hat who's decided he wants to take a nap in the opposite crick of Ryner's neck from where Rose is perched. ...He mostly found it fun, not really a time to specifically show off or anything, but.]

Yeah, guess that's true too. A chance for all of them to show off how much they've grown.
