Bugsy has no chance

[unyieldingwill]

[Video or Azalea Town Gym Action]

[ The flames lick up from the floor to consume the already injured Scizor. The creature crosses his arms over its chest trying to with stand the attack but the Vulpix won’t be defeated! Her flames grow in strength flashing up around her opponent until it finally fell over, unable to continue fighting this battle.
Bugsy was cordial enough about his defeat. The Hive badge was graciously offered along with a few other goodies then as the Gym leader retreated to heal his Pokemon Eagle turned to smile at the group of people who had gathered in the gym to watch this event. One person in particular caught his eye. ]



Bakura, are you going to give it a try now?



[ Eagle wins his second gym badge!

- Hive Badge

Badge Mod approved of course. ]

Eh? Me? Aaa-- [[awkward rubbing the back of his neck.]] ... you think I could do it...?

If you believe in your self I’m sure you could.

[Trying for that self confidence Bakura seems to need a little more of. ]

Action (...so this tag was sitting here for near 3 hours after I though I'd replied...)

[shiromadoushi]

[[Really doesn't look like he believes in himself at all. On the other hand, if Eagle believes he can do it...]]

If you really think so... [[nervous, but looking like he can be talked into it!]]

Action I do that. ^^”

[He could give Bakura a supportive pep talk… or he could place his arm on Bakura’s shoulder and shove him out onto the gym floor. ]

Bugsy! Your next opponent is here!

Action [1/2]

[shiromadoushi]

Eeh? Eeeh?! [[Wait wait wait, Eagle, he wasn't expecting--!!]]

Action [2/3 I lied]

[shiromadoushi]

...

[[Well he doesn't have much choice in it now... You can do this, Bakura Ryou! Don't let everyone down!]]

Action

[shiromadoushi]

[[and amazingly, a short while later he's hugging his team happily before going to receive his badge, all smiles.]]

Congratulations on yet another win, Eagle.

Lacus! Thank you.
It really wasn’t much of a battle though.
[Feeling a touch arrogant since that was such an easy win. -__- ]
I wonder if he was really trying…

[But, with a smile the momentary victory gloating is pushed aside. ]
How have you been?

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome. I enjoy watching your battles. I enjoy learning.

He probably was... I am not sure Gym leaders go easy on anyone.

[ For her, Eagle was simply proud of himself and there was nothing wrong with that. ]

I am just fine. Thank you! And how are you?

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

No, probably not. [About the gym leaders going easy on people. That wasn’t very likely. ]
If they did that I doubt they would remain Gym leaders for very long.

I have been fine as well. We were finally able to travel to Azalea… well, maybe you know that already due to the battle.
Are you also challenging the gym leaders?

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

[ Nods. ] I am. So far, I faced Falkner.

We are actually in Azalea now. So maybe we can meet each other in town one day.

Congratulations. You're collecting them quickly.

[voice;]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Quickly? I thought I was taking a really long time at this.

[It feels like a long time to him anyway. ]

But, thank you for your congratulations. It was very kind of you.

[voice;]

[harbringersoul.livejournal.com]

Compared to my progress. You have two now, don't you?

[voice;]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

That’s right. So far I have the Zephyr Bade from Violet City and the Hive Badge from Azalea Town.

How many badges do you have?

[voice;]

[harbringersoul.livejournal.com]

One, from Violet.

Those gym battle things seem like a lot of work ....

Video

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

They can be.

[A laugh. ]

Does that make them less appealing for you?

Video

[gorgeouscharmer.livejournal.com]

[In a word: YES]

I can't really see the point in collecting them..

[Sure they're supposed to lead to the way out, and allegedly let you control stronger pokemon, etc etc... but.. I can get around fine without them]

Video

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

So far… it seems like the only thing I can do.

[Which means he isn’t really sure about this either, but until he can come up with a better idea… ]

At least it is a challenge. Being in Johto could be very boring with out the excitement the gyms bring.

[Here's your biggest fan, cheering for you from the sidelines.]

[Action]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Aww Geo. After tormenting Bakura Eagle walks over to smile at you.
YES!
This smile could only be delivered when he is standing in front of you, the other side of the room just isn‘t good enough.]

[Action]

[geo-metro.livejournal.com]

[That grants you a ruffle of the air]

Much less dramatic than your last battle..

[Keep it that way. No more coughing fits]

[Action]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

We could add a little drama later today, if that was too boring for you?

[~Smile~]

Are you going to go out to eat with Bakura and I again, to celebrate?
