4rth blade [Video/Action for Violet city]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[It's morning, and from the position of the screen, it's clear that it's outside somewhere. It's zoomed in on a terribly scarred hand. In the palm of said hand, is a badge. It stays focused on the badge for a few seconds before the hand then moves away; the screen moved away with it, blurring out until it finally settles on Veronica's semi-happy face.

Considering how her last few posts had been her resenting the world around her, and suffering because of it, this was a step up.]

So, everyone is after these badges, huh? Frankly, I'm surprised how much I had to go through to get it. A few of my Pokémon ended up fainting...

[She continued to look the bad over for a second, and it almost looks like she's about to say something else until something peculiar happens. Veronica's cheeks are abruptly squished, the corners of her lips pushed up by invisible fingers to make it look as though she was smiling more than she was.

Sufficed to say, she is very surprised by this. So, obviously the right thing to do in this situation is to struggle against whatever had her by the face. To the viewers, at least, the answer comes when a set of floating eyes appear behind Veronica's head, looking straight at the screen for a second until a full, purple body forms around them. It was 2shade, one of her new ghost Pokémon. She giggles childishly and finally lets go of her new trainer, floating around her. Come on, new trainer! Smile because you did something good!]

...O-oh. Two-shade. [Veronica released a breath. There was never going to be a time where she'd be complete okay with having more ghost Pokémon.]

Anyways... I managed to get the badge, but I don't know how I can get that Hidden machine people talk about. Does anyone know where I can get one? Or one I could borrow, I suppose.

Oh, that's the badge that lets you fly. So you must want the Fly HM, right?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

If that's what it's called, yeah. I don't really want to travel all the way back to Goldenrod by foot.

[...She'd travel there by Azalea town, but not that.]

[nostabbing]

You're kinda out of luck, then. The only places you can get the HM are way farther away from you than Goldenrod.

Better start liking the idea of hoofing it.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

hmm

How far?

[nostabbing]

Saffron City or Cianwood City.

[awesmazings]

Congrats on getting your badge, Veronica! Sounds like you want Fly! Joker let me borrow his and teach it to Inferno, but if I remember correctly you can actually get it when you beat Chuck in Cianwood City!

By the way, who's your friend there?

[video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

O-oh, thank you Jimmy.

[She's... proud of her achievement ? ??

A few of her Pokémon fainted to get her that badge, she almost socked Falkner in the face.]

....Oh. [She gestured to the Gengar behind her.] This is... 2shade. I got her from a friend.

[video]

[awesmazings]

[Veronica, that's...not...]

Oh, cool! I've never seen a Gengar before!

[He waves a little at 2shade, grinning.]

My name's Jimmy!

[video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[He was scared. As he should be.]

I think they evolve through trading. They're apparently very powerful Pokémon.

[2shade giggles happily and waves back at Jimmy. Hello! You look really tall! She floats behind Veronica as she's speaking, quietly lifting her trainer's hat off to play with her hair.]

She, uh, has a brother too. I got two pokemon from this guy.

[And they're both... ghosts. Why.]

[video]

[fatalissimo]

[Oh, hey.]

Welcome back to Violet City.

It's not so bad when stuff's not raining down from on high, is it?

[video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Oh yeah. Hey... you.]

Uh, thanks. It is a lot better now that it's not raining Pokemon.

[Ahahaa she could still feel phantom pains.]

You're still staying here?

[fatalissimo]

For now - turns out I like it here. It's pretty slow most of the time compared to what I'm used to, but I like talking to the people at the Gym.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Hmm, yeah, it is pretty nice around here.

[She shrugged her shoulders.]Some people at the gym were... nice too.

[She almost punched the leader though.]

I guess I like Goldenrod more though, so I'll be going back soon.

[text] sorry you're getting another

[unkinder]

I've found it easier just to get a Pokemon that knows Fly to begin with.

[Yeah, remember that Noctowl you battled with?

Who needs HMs, apparently.]

[text] never be sorry

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Wait, there are some Pokemon that learn HM moves on their own? And you caught one?

[text]

[unkinder]

No. I got one from a breeder.

[He said 'get', not 'catch'.]

[text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Oh.




So did they teach it fly, or does it just learn that?

text

[sharkfinned]

Yikes, nice ghost.

Which badge is that? And they don't offer a hidden machine there?

text

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Uh, thanks. She's really nice, once she gets to know you. her brother is a jerk though.

[Ow! Hair tug! Sorry 2shade!]

It's a zephyr badge from the Violet gym. And... no, I don't think so. They didn't give me one.

text

[sharkfinned]

Is she really, it looked like you weren't quite expecting the facepushing.

Oh, so that's the one I'm going to get when I do my challenge. Huh. That's kind of weird. Has anyone said where you have to go to get it yet?

text

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Ah, no. That's nothing. She's just... trying to make me happier I guess.

[Pokémon are weird.]

Yeah, it is. Uh, some other people have said that I can find the HM in Cianwood city, Saffron city, and at the breeding center.

[Video]

[peach_boy]

Hey, you defeated him?! Woah! I just... I just lost to him a while ago...

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Uhh....

[She has to collect herself for a moment. Then, a nod.]

Yeah. It was a little difficult though. Some of my Pokémon fainted, but I still won.

[Video]

[peach_boy]

Are they alright?! I know that Gym Leader is a little hard. I mean, he even defeated Mijumaru!

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Uhh...

[Wow. Dude, calm down. Veronica was not used to speaking with people who were this pumped up about things.

She just ends up nodding. It was the best route to go down.] They're fine now. I got everyone to the Pokémon center and they've been healed. The battle was kind of rough.

[She had to admit. This was a completely different type of fighting for her.]
