2nd Stylish Combo: Movin' on up [Video]

(The video feed with start up with Dante lounging around in the Pokemon Center, chilling on one of the couches after just sending in his Scizor to get patched up. He'll hold up the Zephyr badge to the camera for all to see, backing it up with a cocky smirk.)

So it's the first badge anyone can get, yeah, but it's not too damn bad, considering I used just one pokemon to get it. Sparda's catching a breather right now, but it's cool; he earned. He's a little me, pretty much.

(Though not long after that does a certain red reptile suddenly plant herself on Dante's head, almost tipping him over and making him drop the camera. Once things settle down a bit, the camera goes back to Dante and the charmeleon not wanting to let go of him.)

Yeah, this guy still needs a hell of a lot of work, but she's got some moves. I still have to figure out a name for her, but it'll be a cool one; you can count on that. Anyway, Trish and I are heading over to Goldenrod to meet up with a few people and checking out some of the places there. Hear it's got a nice bunch of stores, so maybe I can get some alcohol and pizza there. No better way to celebrate, right?

So yeah, Nero, Kyrie. We'll be over there in a couple of days, if you want to meet up. Shouldn't be too long, but that'll depend on how much this guy drains me.

(By which, he's referring to the unnamed charmeleon. Why must you choose to be cuddly when he's trying to look cool, unnamed charmeleon?)

How d-d-delightful, you seem to be getting along so well. Tell me; was the battle difficult at all? I may well consider the challenge myself once I finish my current research assignment...

[Yes, Dante. That grin is undoubtedly a sign he is up to absolutely no good. Again.]

(When is he ever up to anything good? Suspicions are abound, sure, but Dante won't care enough about it for the time being. Just gonna focus on the one that counts.)

Not really, but then again, I'm a guy who lives for the challenge. If you think can can beat him with one pokemon that's not completely maxed out, then go for it.

[The camera pans over to one of his pokemon, then another, and finally one more.]

Somehow, it is my earnest assumption that it will be of trivial difficulty...

Congratulations on your first badge, Dante. [ Have a lethargic smile from the woman. ] I'd like it very much if we could meet up.

(Yay praise! That was always good!)

Yeah, we'll definitely figure something out. There aren't any Sudowoodo in the way of that shortcut, right?

[ Praise from Nero's woman at that. That's the best kind of praise ~~and if he says otherwise, heaven help him.~~ ]

I'm not sure actually. There weren't any last I heard, but admittedly I haven't been in that area for many weeks now. [ Her tone's soft and apologetic due to her ignorance. ] It shouldn't be too hard to move them if there are though. I know you'll find a way.

TRY A WEEK OR TWO.
THAT'S A MORE ACCURATE TIME FRAME
UNLESS YOU CAN GET SOMEONE IN GOLDENROD TO GET THAT SUDOWOODO OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY.

I thought they were all cleared out? Well fuck if they're not; that's the easy way to get there!

ONE WILL JUST TAKE THE DEFEATED ONE'S PLACE IN A FEW DAYS.

Plenty of surprises

[Don't mind the ol' ball and chain over here. She's just going to throw a cookie at his head for Charmeleon to try and catch.]

You know, if Sparda's a little you, maybe you should let him deal with the spitfire on your head and try and claw some of your dignity back for yourself.

(Yup; the little guy's distracted enough with that cookie to get off of Dante...for now.)

Doesn't sound like a bad idea. He can take scratches better than I can, too.

(Damn human bodies...)

Aww, don't worry. I won't tell anyone that you're nothing more than a harmless old softie.

[She slips a cookie to a pushy DJ, who's nudging impatiently at her hand. C'mon Boss, he wants one too!]

You still got it.

[Oh, hey, France remembers you. You're one of the few people here he's had a decent liquor conversation with in a while.]

Congratulations on your victory!

While you're in Goldenrod, I highly recommend the bar next to the Game Corner. It's the only place I've found so far in this place that serves decent cocktails. If you really feel adventurous, try the Eeveelution special.

Edited 2012-07-02 14:13 (UTC)

(Yup, Dante's the guy to talk to about liquor and stuff.)

Thanks.

Cocktails, huh? I'm down with that; a man needs to wash his victories in alcohol...so what Eeveelution special's the really big one, isn't it?

[France grins broadly.]

A man after my own heart.

The Eeveelution special is a set of small cocktails, one for each Eeveelution. They range from fruity to coffee-based liqueur.

[The grin turns a little impish.]

Most people give up after several not necessarily because the alcohol content but because the variety of tastes is overwhelming.

Well, well! I see you're adjusting to this world quite nicely. Congratulations on getting your first badge.

I'm still in Goldenrod, so perhaps we'll run into each other.

Thanks, man. That metal coat you gave me worked like a charm; now he's an iron badass.

Yeah? We'll definitely need to meet up and get some drinks going, then. I heard there's a legit bar there, too.

Glad to hear it!

Ah, yes, the Game Corner here also has a restaurant and a bar. It's the most popular hangout spot in the city, and I can vouch for the quality of the food and alcohol there.

You only used on Pokemon to get your first badge? That's pretty impressive!

Yup. It was pretty rough, but I knew the guy could handle it. I trained him myself.

(And that's when the charmeleon continues getting in the way of the camera. People! Hi people!)

...not this guy; my scizor, Sparda. He's the one who did the fighting.

A Scizor? I don't think I've seen that Pokemon yet.

[ Miyuki doesn't look impressed, but she's not gonna flaunt her twelve badges at him, either. She still remembers her first one! ]

I got my first badge with just one Pokémon, too. Which Pokémon did you use?

(The first time is always most memorable.)

A scizor. A guy I know gave me a metal coat to evolve my scyther early on. Since then, he's been on a straight streak of kicking ass. Which did you use when you rocked Falkner?

Yeah, but it's not a bad start. Once this guy grows up, we'll be able to fly around and shit...now that I think about, where do you get the HM for that, anyway?
