2 � [VIDEO/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]
[ACTION]
[Having grown tired of the stifling atmosphere of the Rocket Base, Emmy has decided that today, she'll train her Pokemon in one of Goldenrod's parks. She's not quite silly enough to do anything too serious in the middle of the city (something tells her that practicing moves like Flamethrower in such an area might be frowned upon), but that doesn't bother her too much. The training she wants to do is fairly simple, anyway.]
Keep your guard up, Lulu!
[And by training, she means...well, sparring rather aggressively with her Lucario. Her Pokemon can't have all the fun, after all!]
That's it!
[It's been a long time since Emmy has had such a good training partner, and she's taking full advantage of it. The pair punch and kick with gusto, blocking each other's moves and responding with faster ones, with Emmy occasionally shouting the odd instruction or word of encouragement. While Emmy has strong technical knowledge, Lulu has pure PokePower on her side; as an opponent, she's formidable. They begin to move faster and faster, completely oblivious to their surroundings, until Lulu happens to let her guard down at just the wrong moment-]
Gotcha!
[It's a move she's done many times before; launching herself into the air, Emmy twists and nails Lulu in the forehead with a powerful back kick, sending her tumbling onto the grass. It's rather clear that she's uninjured, however; talented as her trainer is, she's nowhere near strong enough to do any real damage. Rolling up onto her knees, Lulu pats down the fur on her forehead, waiting for instructions from her-
...ah.]
Lulu...
[Huffing, Emmy places her hands on her hips and pouts down at her Lucario, who is looking...rather guilty, like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar. She thought she was being sneaky...
...]
What have I told you about going easy on me?
[Looks like they might need to take a break...]
[VIDEO]
[The feed opens to the sight of Emmy and Lulu sitting under a tree, apparently taking a well-deserved break from all their sparring. Taking a sip from a water bottle, Emmy contemplates the camera.]
Hello! I have a question for anyone out there listening, today! How do you train your Pokemon? I'd especially like responses involving Fighting-types! I prefer to be out there on the field with my Pokemon, but they tend to get a bit nervous when I do that! Don't you think that's far more rewarding, though? I get so antsy just standing around!
[Leaning back against the trunk of the tree, Emmy folds her arms behind her head and looks up at the leaves, still thinking.]
Although I suppose I can understand their fears...we humans are so fragile in comparison to them. I just wish I could keep up!
[Hmmm...
...ah! Right, the camera is still on!]
Ah, sorry about that! It just reminded me of a puzzle, you see. Do give me a call if you'd like to chat about training, anyway!

...you look a little fragile, alright.]
Well, I must say, I'm surprised! I didn't peg you for the sort to enjoy this sort of thing!
[you know what that sounded like, don't you
that
sounded
like
a challenge]
I might have to ask you to prove it sometime, you know.
no subject
[is
that
a challenge
because he thinks it is]
If that's truly the case, who am I to refuse to give a demonstration?
no subject
Do forgive her for grinning a bit, won't you?]
It sounds like you're starting to speak my language, Mr Tsukiyama! Lulu does make for a good warm-up!
[...Lulu is also kind of orz-ing over behind the tree, but you know...]
I'd be delighted to see what you can do. Don't worry - I'll be gentle~!
no subject
Oh, I'll have to ask that you don't; I like seeing people at their full strength, so don't hold back on my behalf.
[He smiles.]
Shall we, then?
no subject
[Bouncing lightly on the spot for a moment, Emmy flexes her hands and lifts her arms into a guarding stance-
...before rapidly springing off, zipping towards Tsukiyama and hooking her leg around in a sweep; time to see what he can do.]
no subject
...And really, if this is the best she can do here, he's going to be a little irritated.
At the same time, there's a middle ground between "I'm going to go easy because humans are stupidly fragile things and if you punch them too hard they tend to die" and "I'm actually gonna to punch it so hard it dies"; if she's going to put herself in close to him so quickly, like hell if he's not going to take advantage of that and use the opportunity to get a hit in.
...restrained or not, he's still incredibly fast, and he has a bit of a tendency to hit like a goddamn train. Um.]
1/2
For a moment, she's lying on her back, stunned, but it doesn't take her long to recover; swinging her legs up over her head to build up momentum, she launches herself back onto her feet, squatting down for a moment to look Tsukiyama up and down while she massages her (now rather sore) shoulder.]
You're a lot stronger than you look, Mr Tsukiyama.
[But that's fine - everything is starting to make sense. No wonder he was so keen to fight...
...good.]
Alright!
2/2
...instead, however, she twists her body at the last second, instead using that arm for balance as she swings her leg around as fast as she can, aiming for Tsukiyama's chest. Time to even the score a bit!]
