Chapter 32; Video/Action for Violet City

[tentacletrainer]

[[Today you're greeted with a rare sight. Not only is Rose wet and dressed in a rather cute Dratini themed bikini, but she's outside and wearing a rather smug grin.]]

Dave, I would just like to show you this little gem.

[[And here she holds the Violet City badge up to the camera.]]

I thought I would give you a good week or so to obtain it first, seeing as I was already a badge ahead of you, but this is getting ridiculous. I think I will change my goal of only obtaining useful badges. From here out, I will work towards all of them. We'll make this a competition, how's that sound? A friendly sibling rivalry.

Who can come to possess all eight badges first? Lalonde? Or Strider?

[[Chuckling, she tucks the badge back in her bag, straightening once more.]]

That said, I felt a celebration was in order. And, seeing as it is so warm out, what better way to celebrate than with a little summer party? John, Dave, you are both expected to attend, and I will not take no for an answer. You might want to dress water friendly.

Anyone else in the Violet area is perfectly welcome to come as well.

[[From here, the camera is turned, apparently to show of various attractions as she begins explaining everything.]]

We're equipped with Insufferable Prick, resident sprinkler system. The newest addition to my team, Haze, can offer plenty of cooler temperatures being an Ice Pokemon. Halos is more than willing to fetch you snacks or beverages if you'd like.

[[Back to Rose.]]

And of course your Pokemon are all quite welcome too. The more the merrier, right?

[[With a tiny wave, she shuts the feed off.]]

((OOC: Badge is mod approved!))

I'm fairly sure they do too. Well, most of them. My Glameow didn't enjoy it in the beginning, but then he is very scared of everything.

Oh very nice. I have yet to challenge Goldenrod, but plan to do so upon my return.

The Sandslash I have still doesn't like fighting too much, but that's all right if she doesn't like it.

Oh uhm, just be careful of the gym leader there! She's...a sore loser if you do beat her.

Is she a little shy, or simply doesn't seem to enjoy it?

And yes, so I've both heard and seen first hand while watching my friend battle her. Thank you for the warning though.

I think she might be shy! I got her from someone I knew a while back. Unfortunately he isn't here anymore.

Ah, it's good you know then! I was definitely caught off-guard when I first battled her. I mean, I felt bad about it but if she's like this every time she fights someone...

Was she an egg when you got her? If not, she may be uncomfortable being separated from him still, and therefor a little unsure.

And yes. I have a feeling I know where you are going with that thought, and am pretty sure she's likely pretending. I will have to attempt a little reverse psychology while there to see if I can call her on crocodile tears.

Nope, she was fully grown! And I think her first trainer had problems er, training her too.

Reverse psychology, huh? How clever! I hope it works, it might save a lot of new trainers the pain of hearing her lose.

Hmm. Poor thing. Is she good friends with any of your other Pokemon?

Thank you, and as do I. I suppose we'll see once I'm given the chance.

Dandy likes her a lot, but Dandy likes everyone.

Good luck then!

Does she like Dandy? Perhaps, if they like each other mutually, Dandy could help build up her confidence a bit by being there with her?

Thank you, Luke.

Hm, well I guess I could have them fight together more often, if it helps her.
