( cut for violet city action + incredibly crappy pixel art )

[Video Transmission; some time later...probably about 30 minutes to an hour.]

[When the feed clicks on, the image is very dark. Like, really dark. The only thing you can actually, sort-of see is John's face. And that's only because the dim light of the pokegear screen is reflecting off of his face. It's causing some major glare issues with his glasses, so you can't really see his eyes. However, he has what is quite possibly the biggest, most excited, grin ever on his face.]

Hey, did anyone know that the zig-zag pattern on Dusknoir's body is actually some kind of mouth? [A stifled, giggling noise.] Guess where I am right now?

[The feed clicks off.]

((ooc: Since the second one can technically also be action, please specify which scenario you're doing if you're going the action route. Thanks! :D))

[John is in the pokécenter today, holding a tiny silver something between his fingers. Yup, guess who just beat Falkner?]



So, I ended up challenging the gym...even though I hadn't originally planned to.


...It went well. [No shit, Sherlock, they can see that.] And that's really all there is to say on the matter.

[For a guy who just got his first gym badge, he doesn't seem too excited. You would think a thirteen year old nerd would be over the moon about this, but he really isn't. Truth of the matter is, he was pretty excited until he made the mistake of thinking "Oh boy, I can't wait to show...Dave..." What's the point of earning a sweet badge if you can't even show your best bro because he disappeared three days ago?]

Oh, and if anyone could tell me about the Azalea gym, that'd be cool.

((ooc: badge was mod approved. :3 And sorry if this was a double post for anybody...I did something wrong with the dates again... -_-))
