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.]}

What d'you get when you beat them?

[action]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

You get a badge to prove you won!

...Not sure it's all that useful now that I think about it, but...

Yeah! You get a badge!

[action]

[doorjammer.livejournal.com]

That's great! [Seven is pumped.]

But what does the badge do? Does it help us get out? Do you solve puzzles with 'em?

[action]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Uh.

_{[Give him a second to think. While he's learned a lot about Pokemon in his time here, he still hasn't learned as much as he probably should have.]}


Th...They prove you beat the gymleader?

[action]

[doorjammer.livejournal.com]

And?

[action]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

...

_{[He thinks a little more before finally coming to a grand conclusion.]}

Y'know...I don't think they do anything! I could be wrong, but I think they're just proof that you beat the gymleader. Kinda like a boxin' belt.

[action]

[doorjammer.livejournal.com]

Woah! You gotta beat this gym leader! Get that shiny badge!

[action]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

_{[So pumped.]}

YEAH! We're totally gonna win this time! It's gonna be totally rad!

[action]

[doorjammer.livejournal.com]

How strong is this gym leader guy anyway? Do you need back up?

[action]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

He's a pretty strong. My Pokemon got totally mowed down the first time we challenged him. But if he wasn't strong, he wouldn't be the gymleader!

...Uh...I dunno if they allow back up in gym battles...

[action]

[doorjammer.livejournal.com]

[He puts his hand on Mac's shoulder and is seriously suggesting this...]

I'll hold him down. Punch him in the face.

[action] 1/2

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

[Wh- ]

[action] 2/2

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

N...No, it's not that kind of fight, dude. I'm pretty sure that ain't allowed in Pokemon battles.

<sub>...If it was...huh. That'd be pretty interes-

Uh, I mean, thanks for the offer, man, but I don't think you'll have t' do that.</sub>

[action]

[doorjammer.livejournal.com]

[But he wanted to... fine.]

Maybe I can help you train then.

[action]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

_{[Mac grins, with just a hint of nervousness. After all, this guy just suggested punching the gymleader in the face during a pokemon battle. Still, a little extra training never hurt.]}

Hey, yeah! That, uh, that sounds great, man! Oh, uh, I'm Mac, by the way.

[action]

[doorjammer.livejournal.com]

Name's Seven... by the way. [It takes some awkward effort, but he manages to smile.]

So. How are we gonna train?

[action]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Maybe we could have a Pokemon battle or somethin'!

[action]

[doorjammer.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah! Toss out your Pokemon and I'll battle 'em!

[action]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Alright!

_{[Mac takes up one of his Pokeballs and prepares to send out his pokemon...but stops remember an earlier part of their conversation.]}


You...uh...

You mean with your Pokemon, right?
