Evening Recon Mission

[unyieldingwill]

[Video - Friday Evening]


[The black clad Commander hits the ground with a roll leaving the roof of the Violet City Gym in dramatic fashion after a little reconnaissance mission. He smiles at the Mareep and Eevee waiting for him under a nearby tree before joining them to relay the information he had recovered. Eagle was totally unaware that his third Pokemon, a Vulpix, had been playing with his PokeGear and recording this little evening raid. ]


This city’s gym leader is Falkner his Pokemon are all flying types so they should be weak to you Sol because you have that new electric attack.

[The Astina the Eevee listens closely and Sol the Mareep nods upon learning his role in the upcoming battle. ]

However, they are all level 30 or higher. We should do a bit more training before trying to…

[The video suddenly shifts and tumbles to the ground as Carrera the Vulpix looses her footing on the dewy ground. As she stumbles the piece of technology is dropped and her role as a videographer is betrayed. ]

Carrera!

…Vul…pix?

Are you hurt? [Once he sees that she isn’t. ]
I know this isn’t exactly a military mission but there are times when recording video is… inconvenient...

[With that the PokeDex is retrieved and the video ends. ]

...There was probably an easier way to do that...

[[okay, NOW he can believe that Eagle was in the military.]]

Ah… [Semi-embarrassed chuckle! ]

There might have been but this way I was able to see him battle without his knowing I was there… or at least that would have been the case if Carrera hadn’t decided to record this.

[shiromadoushi]

Why would it matter if he didn't know?

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

It is always better to catch an enemy off guard. That way you know their strengths and weaknesses but they don’t know yours.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

But if you're just watching he can't tell what Pokemon you have.

[[says the boy with a hoppip on his head]]

Re: [Video]

Unless… you have some Pokemon that prefer to stay outside of their Pokeballs.

[Hi there little hoppip!! Here is a smile just for you. ]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Annin smiles happily]]Pip!

[[cue an embarrassed laugh from his trainer]] Aaa-- true! But you could always ask them to stay behind?

The gym leader is not particularly difficult if you have enough training backing up your team.

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

It does help that he only seems to use one type of Pokemon. That isn’t really the best strategy.

[Video]

[hoveringly.livejournal.com]

I agree, but as far as I know each gym has a theme.

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

That does make it a lot easier! Have you challenged many gym leaders, Ms. … excuse me but what is your name?

[Video] I must now giggle about Eagle and Harpuia sharing voice actress xD

[hoveringly.livejournal.com]

[He pauses a moment at the "ms", even when his lineface is not showing change. H-he did get a lot of "pretty boy" from Leviathan back home, b-but. Maybe a mishearing? His hearing has deteriorated terribly since he became a human......

Still! Introductions first, clarification later if still needed.]

Harpuia.

I haven't challenged any gyms yet but I have watched the transmissions in the network closely to gather some intel. Many trainers are fond of broadcasting their fights.

[Video] Do they really? That only make the faux pas better!

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Did I make a mistake?

[That pause... It was really like one Lantis would give him when he said something silly.
Hahahaha! OOPS! Oh well… it isn’t like that hasn’t happened to Eagle now and then as well. ]

It can be difficult over a transmission like this. I’m sorry if you were offended.

I am Eagle Vision from Autozam. I have also noticed that a lot of people transmit their battles but I haven’t seen anyone fight this trainer yet. That is why I had to go and see his fighting skill for myself.

Video -- Or Action if you want them to run into each other or something.

Eagle-kun is super sneaky! [He laugh, clapping his hands, clearly amused.]

Video - OR Is that bush laughing?

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

…

I don’t think you can call it sneaky if everyone finds out about it.

Video - Fai? Hiding in a bush, laughing? NEVER >w>

[cheerfulfacade.livejournal.com]

Nonsense! [He beams.] Eagle-kun was very sneaky! He just got caught!

Video - Then why is it shaking?!

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Glances at Carrera who looks a little ashamed. ]

I was curious about the local Gym Leader. This seemed like the best way to find out more about him.

Video - ...UHM. You're imagining things!

[cheerfulfacade.livejournal.com]

[He tilts his head to the side.]

Why not just ask the people that have defeated him?

Video - There see! Now the Pokemon is onto you!

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

I think the first hand experience of watching him battle is more valuable.

[Astina sniffs the air as if looking around for something. Maybe something in that bush…? ]

[I'm sorry Eagle, but those shenanigans grant you a hardy guffaw from the southern-accented beauty. After a few moments she manages to get it under control. She's rubbing her eye with one finger.]

I'm sorry sugar. I'm not laughing at you... [Okay maybe I am]

.. but you've brought up a potentially hazardous problem there.

Video

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[She always seem to be laughing at him for some reason or other. Not that he really minds. ]

What potentially hazardous problem?

Video

[gorgeouscharmer.livejournal.com]

[It can't be helped]

If you'd truly been up to something nefarious, then that there Pokemon of yours would have given the whole thing away.

Video

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Luckily it was just a bit of mischief! ~,^
But he has to agree with that. ]

Carrera doesn’t always consider things like that. She can be a little naive.

[The way you phrased that brings up an interesting question though. ]

You aren’t the kind to get into nefarious situations are you Caldina?

Video

[gorgeouscharmer.livejournal.com]

[Wonders if Carrera appreciates being called naive..]

You best keep an eye on that device of yours then.

[dfjghdjfhgdhfjg]

Nefarious situations? Me? Now why would you ever think of asking me something like that? [Cough. I'm so innocent. Cough. Can't you tell?]

Video

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[She does feel guilty over accidentally outing her trainer like that. ]



It usually isn’t a problem. I just should have better explained what was going on first.

[Gives Carrera a pat or two to make her feel better. ]

Maybe that was a silly question. I’m sure your motivations are entirely above board. [He is SO suspicious of you now! ]
