48th Chore [Video | Action for Route 34]

[combat_butler]

Mmm... Another week or so and I should be back up to a decent amount...*Today's Gardevoir driven feed shows Hayate standing somewhere along Route 34, his back to the shore, as a distinctive Sharpedo fin circles around in the water directly behind him, and a certain Tentacruel mulls about in the far off distance

Nice kick.

[reminds him of someone else he knows...]

[combat_butler]

Hm? *blink blink* ... Was it? I didn't even yell or anything...

Video.

[dnoteworthy]

Was there supposed to be a need to yell to pull off an effortless, yet brilliantly executed roundhouse like that?

Video.

[combat_butler]

Well, no... But when you yell out an attack name to go with an attack, it's a lot more impressive.

Video.

[dnoteworthy]

I suppose that's true, but I always found it rather silly to tell your opponent what you're about to do before you do it.

Video.

[combat_butler]

But... We do that everyday here.

Video.

[dnoteworthy]

True again, but in this case, since both are doing the same, there's a certain degree of fairness.

Re: Video.

[combat_butler]

... fairness in yelling?

Video.

[dnoteworthy]

Silly as that sounds, yes.

It would probably be against common battling etiquette to confuse the opponent by giving pre-taught instructions for moves instead of simply yelling the move names.

Video.

[combat_butler]

... I'm pretty sure I know someone who does that though.

Video.

[dnoteworthy]

Oh? I suppose it's to be expected that someone thought up such an idea before I did.

Video.

[combat_butler]

It only really makes any kind of difference if you don't know the moves of the opposing Pokemon though.

Video.

[dnoteworthy]

True, but it would be at least confusing initially.

Video.

[combat_butler]

If you've seen them fight before, it even goes and flat out becomes a null point.

Video.

[dnoteworthy]

[a shrug] That's true.

Which is why I focus on types~
