autocratic | [Video | Action for Violet City]

--Ice Fang!

[ The feed quickly snaps on to show a large Gyarados slithering through the air as it chases after a Noctowl. Snap! Snap! Praetor the Gyarados' fangs hit true, and for added emphasis, the blue sea serpent jerks her head to make sure the attack is as effective as it should be before dropping the poor bird to the ground.

Falkner looks to sigh before recalling his Pokemon back. The camera zooms out, and a large splash of red with gold appears as Saber stands triumphant on her end of the Gym. There's a visible smirk as she and her Gyarados wait for Falkner to make his move. He does, and it's the same icy carnage wrought on the Honchkrow.

Oh, and let's not forget the theme that's playing in the background. ]

Is this change of music common in this place? [ Hakuno knows she should be bolstering Saber's already high confidence by giving a grand tale of this battle, but she's distracted by the change of BGM. ] It sounds as though it doesn't really belong here. [ Oh. ] It looks like that Honchkrow is weak to that kind of attack.

Indeed, Praetor. You would do well to pay attention to the types of your opponents' Pokemon. Well? Send out your last champion! [ This is said mostly to Falkner, who obeys ~~he really has no choice~~. His Pidgeot flies in the air with a cry, but that's drowned out by the roar of Saber's Gyarados, whose fangs glisten with ice once more. It's the same game of cat and mouse as Falkner's Pidgeot tries to evade her fangs, but Praetor (the Pokemon one) is too large, and before long, her jaws clamp down tightly on its body as Praetor the Gyarados tackles the Pidgeot to the ground with a crash.

Game, set, match.

Saber doesn't even hesitate to stride towards Falkner and demand her rightful badge. Although slightly taken aback by a short woman in regal red clothing, he does so, does his usual spiel, and hands the rewards: money, a TM, and the Zephyr Badge. Then she turns to her Master, holding up the trinket as she walks closer. ]

Gaze upon this, Master! Was that not a magnificent battle? I put on quite a show, did I not?

It seemed pretty one-sided I'll admit. [ Hakuno, while normally hesitant to state an opinion so boldly, can't help do so even as the device records it. ] Are all gym leaders this easy? Using the same Pokemon to attack all of their own seems unfair, but effective.

[ The gear leans in closer to get a good shot at the badge, as well as any other things her Servant likes to proudly display that may be in the same vicinity. ]

You did well. [ It's a rare sheepish laugh to come from Hakuno, but it was present nonetheless. ] I hope I can be as good as you someday, Saber.

M-Mmm! [ No, this is not Saber being openly giddy on public television. No, she is not lightly blushing and if any of you say anything-- ] Not to worry, Praetor. Liken these Gym battles to our Servant battles within the Holy Grail War. Preparation is of utmost key!

But enough of that! We must celebrate my victory! Surely Violet City must have a spot where one can fully enjoy themselves on the high of their triumph!

[ Saber will now lean close to the Gear ~~watch it with the boobs!~~ before turning it off. ]

[ OOC: Badge is mod-approved! Voice of Hakuno is this. Both will tag when able! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Hahahaha! [Sha'll be pointing and laughing at Saber there.] You're blushing! You're totally blushing! Someone's embarrassed!

Saber's embarrassed? [ Glancing to her before turning back to the gear. ] She's just excited from the fight I think.

Oh? It was a pretty heated battle. I wouldn't blame her if it were that as well.

[ Now she's in quite the strange position. Since Saber's told her to not listen to him, she really should hang up. On the other hand, that's rude. ]

I thought it was pretty chilly myself. [ Ice fang is cold. ] Maybe she overworked herself.

Waaaah...? You really think so? If that's the case, then she might really have a cold!

[ While the concept of a Servant getting sick was still a strange one (and usually involved weird stuff with Rin), Saber was now human. It's wholly possible for her to have gotten ill. ]

I've never had to take care of an ill person on my own before.

Hmm... You would have to get some medicine depending on the disease. [That reminds him...]

Also... There's a secret technique that can make the person be cured ten times faster.

Is there?

[ Suddenly hopeful. ]

What's this secret technique?

THE DANCE OF HEALING!!!

[ Sounds stupid. ]

Is it kin to a rain dance?

[OUCH-]

Exactly like that. Except you're injecting your positive spirit into the sickly person.

How does one perform one of these dances?

[ She's not quite buying it yet as her skepticism shows in her face. She'll listen though! ]

First, you have to lift your hands in air! Second, you must wave them like you just don't care! Third, collect all of that Happy Energy as if you're going to launch a Spirit Bomb and--

[AND HE'S DOING IT. UP, DOWN, LEFT, UP, RIGHT, UP, UP RIGHT.]

Wha--?!

[ OH NO YOU DID NOT-- And as a quick aside to her Master: ] Praetor! Do not listen to any rubbish this fool spouts!

You!

[ DELIBERATE POINTING BACK. ]

You would dare make lies about how my own body works? Such an offense requires a punishment of the highest order!

[TOOTHY GLINT.] I'm a man who never lies! It's impossible to punish the wind since it's something that's uncatchable!

Hah! You liken yourself to the winds? With a right application of force, such an element can be pushed back!

[ POETICS. SHE HAS THEM TOO. AND SCREW IT IF THAT EVEN MAKES ANY SENSE. ]

It's not liking myself to the winds, I am the wind! Even if you put a wall in front of the wind, it will just change direction and move over it!

[His logic is ~*~*~*~ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS~*~*~*~.]

That would be the desired effect, wouldn't it?

[ She thought the implication was ~*~*obvious*~*~. ]

OR IT COULD SMASH RIGHT THROUGH IT!!! That's just how unpredictable the wind is!

Hah! It would take more than a fickle wind to truly test my resolve! Do you not have anything else to say other than some lie about my condition? I would think my triumphant victory to be a more interesting subject!

Oh yeah! It was a nice energetic battle. Like that girl said, it looked unfair to defeat a gym leader like that, but you gotta do whatever it takes to win your badges.

How is it "unfair"? Are we not required to challenge these Gyms with nothing but our level best?

That's right! But it didn't look fair and square since you sicked a bigger Pokemon against a smaller one. It made you look like a bully.

What a naive thought! Size does not determine your immediate strength! It is how you apply your own power that determines a fight!
