[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 obeyshe 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 Gearwatch it with the boobs! before turning it off. ]
[ OOC: Badge is mod-approved! Voice of Hakuno is this. Both will tag when able! ]

Huh? Course I did, she told me to after all.
[video]
[ Not even Hakuno calls her 'Nero'... ]
[video]
[News to Ven, he figured it was just because they're friends]
[video]
Back home, it was important for us to keep her identity a secret. It's strange now to think that there's no dire need to do so now.

[At least from what he grasps about it, probably not]
[video]
[video]
[And he certainly thinks that's quite an awful thing to put anybody through]
Why do they have a system like that? Or is it one of those things that's been going on longer than people remember?
