Round 6 [Video/Action for Route 33, just outside Violet]

[starpunching]

I...I think I'm gonna challenge the gymleader again soon. We didn't do so good last time, but we got a lot of real good trainin' and I worked real hard to learn a lot o' stuff. My Pokemon n' I are just tryin' to get in a little more trainin' before we challenge him, though.

...I'm actually a little nervous, y'know? Heh heh, it kinda feels like a match back home. A kinda mix o' nervous n' excited all at the same time!

Oh, uh...before I forget! It shoulda taken a real long time to get to Violet from Goldenrod, right? 'Cause I was in Goldenrod like, last week or somethin' n' when I woke up the other day, I was a day or so outside of Violet. Does stuff like that just happen here or what? And I thought that uh, a...a buddy o' mine was still here, but...

But when I woke up, I tried callin' him and I still couldn't get hold of him...

Musta been some kinda crazy dream or somethin', right?

_{[His shoulders slump a little.]}



...We're gonna do our best to beat the gymleader. We've got a disadvantage as far as types go, but I think we can do it this time! _{[Mac grins a determined little grin and the feed shuts off.]}

Hey, thanks! We got stomped real bad last time, but I'm pretty sure we'll do it this time around!

If you don't mind me asking, what's your Pokemon like?

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Well, there's my Hitmonchan, an Ariados, a Jumpluff, a Machop, uh, he only just hatched, though...

Then there's Edward the Flygon, and Puffstool the Shroomish, that I got from my buddy Scott...


We...We kinda got some type disadvantages, but we've been trainin' real hard! I mean, type ain't everything, right?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Wow... A lot of those are weak against flying types. But what's a Flygon? Since it has the word "fly" in it, it's probably a flying type, right?

_{[What's that? Things Mac never thought to look up?]}

Uh...gimme a sec...

_{[He fumbles around a bit with the Pokedex before finding his answer.]}

'Dex says it's a Ground and Dragon type.

... Uwah, I was wrong. [She seems pretty taken aback by this.]

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

But dragon types are pretty strong, right?

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I don't really know. I only started really learnin' about all this type stuff like, last month or somethin'.

I guess they would be, though. I mean, a dragon sounds like it'd be a big deal.

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I only know that dragons are only weak against other dragons.

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Hey, yeah, yeah! I think I remember my buddy sayin' somethin' like that when he was trainin' me! My pokemon and I might have an edge here!

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Yeah! That's right. As long as you don't have a POkemon that's a good level and isn't weak against flying, you'll do good!

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Yeah...!

Hey, thanks, kid! I bet we'll definitely win this time!

[ video ] oh oops that was a typo in the last comment ;; sorry about that

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

It's not kid! It's Cocona! Cocona Bartel!

[ video ] No problem! I...actually didn't notice until now.

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

_{[Mac makes a mental note to stop calling kids..."kid." Most of them don't seem to like it.]}

R-Right, right! Nice to meetcha, Cocona. I'm Mac, by the way.

[ video ] ... I'm such a winner.

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you too, Mac!

Are you on a journey to get your badges too?

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

I...guess I am, yeah!

There ain't nothin' like a good challenge, y'know?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Ah... Did you want to go back home like a lot of people too?

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Well...Johto ain't bad, but yeah kinda.

But from what I hear, people just go back when they go back. Ain't like they get to choose, right?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's kinda scary though.

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

"Kinda" nothin'! The whole idea of just suddenly disappearin' or whatever totally freaks me out.

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

I've been here for nine months and I haven't disappeared yet...

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

...I guess I can count on goin' home later than sooner, huh?

_{[geez mac when did you get to be such a downer]}

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

W-Well, um... Not like that! I... actually don't know. [sob.]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Uh...!

_{[Oh man. Did he just make a girl sad? He's pretty sure he just made a girl sad and oh god doc would be so disappointed in him right now what do]}

[ video ] 2/2

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

W-well, I guess if there's nothin' I can do there ain't no use in complainin' about it! Might as well, uh, do what I can do here, right?
