Fifteenth Transformation [video/action for Goldenrod Gym]
[The video comes on to show the inside of the Goldenrod city gym. Whoever or whatever is holding the 'Gear is on the sidelines, and low to the ground (so likely his Eevee again), but the arena is still clearly visible. Envy is standing on one end with a cocky smirk on his face; looks like somebody's finally gotten around to trying for his first badge.]
I hope you're ready! I'm not going to lose to anyone with such a ridiculous hairstyle!
[Aaand that smirk turns to an annoyed glare in an instant.] Like you can talk! Yours is pink!
[Whitney just giggles.] It's cute and fashionable! Yours is just silly.
[Envy's face looks like he's plotting five kinds of terrible vengeance, but he pulls a Pokeball off his belt, tossing it in his hand.] So how about we just get started, and we'll see who's actually stronger?
[First comes Whitney's Girafarig, and that just makes Envy grin. And not in a particularly friendly looking way either. Out comes Lucky, and the Houndoom charges straight at the Girafarig without waiting for any orders from Envy. Fortunately, it's something Envy was already expecting, considering how Lucky always tended to act in battles, and he lets it happen without showing his annoyance. One Flamethrower and a Crunch later, the Girafarig is down for the count. And even though Lucky only took one Stomp, Envy calls him back.]
[It's Ouroboros at first against the Clefable. He's clearly looking to draw this one out longer, starting off with Screech and following with Acid to poison. And even though he's taking his time to favor of status inflictions instead of more damaging attacks, there's definitely a ruthlessness to it. But then the weakened Clefable gets lucky with Metronome causing an earthquake, and in the next move a Sing puts Ouroboros to sleep. So he calls her back, replacing her with a roaring, sparking Xerxes. The Clefable finally goes down in another few hits.]
[And of course, the first thing Whitney's Miltank uses is Attract. Back to the Pokeball goes a suddenly lovestruck and completely useless Luxray. Besides, he'd wanted to save the best for last anyway. And as gentle and friendly as Envy's Tyranitar is normally, when Chimera is let out to fight it's still a pretty intimidating sight. Envy starts out like he's going to draw this one out too, using Sandstorm and a few low power attacks while the Miltank tries to use Rollout to very little effect.]
[But then apparently decides otherwise, because all it takes after that is just one dead-on Hyper Beam.]
Heh, looks like you lost to someone like me after all.
Y-you…you're so mean! [CUE WATERWORKS.]
Yeah, I am. So quit crying and give me the badge already. [Very low tolerance for this carrying on here.]
Why should I, you're a jerk!
What does that have to do with anything, I still won. [He's still glaring, but he manages to at least make his tone and expression a little softer, more convincing. Through somewhat gritted teeth.] So just give me what I came for and I'll be out of your hair for good, how's that sound for a deal?
[S-SNIFFLE] Fine...but you'd better keep your promise!
Sure I will. And the sooner you give it to me, the sooner I'll leave you alone. [Like he'd want to come back here again. But Whitney hands over the badge, and shortly after that the feed comes to an end.]
((ooc: Badge is mod-approved! And anybody in Goldenrod who knows him is free to assume that they were invited to watch.))
