Thirteenth Move

[king_of_flames]

[Video; Action for Olivine City]

[The feed is showing a scene in the Olivine City Gym. Roy is standing in front of the camera, with Jasmine on the other end of the battlefield.]]

I'm ready whenever you are. The sooner we get this battle finished, the better.

[Jasmine says something that's inaudible from the camera's vantage point, and sends out her first Pokémon -- a Skarmory.]

A bird, eh? No problem, I've got the perfect counter!

[But as Roy throws the Poké Ball, something different happens. The usual gym leader music gets overridden, and an extremely triumphant piece begins to play as a Charizard emerges.

Then, all is lost to the camera as the Charizard takes flight and begins blasting fire. Within short order, the Skarmory falls to the ground. Jasmine recalls it and sends out a Magneton. Charizard doesn't slow down, and it goes down quickly, followed by her Steelix.

But even her Steelix can't withstand the might of the flames. It, too, falls quickly.

Ladies and gentlemen, Roy may have just set a record for the shortest gym battle against Jasmine.

Roy calls his Charizard back and accepts his Mineral Badge. As he walks back over, he grabs the camera.]

Six down, two to go!

[Cut feed.]

[oh hello what's this. Ah yes, it's Roy. Hasn't really had a chance to speak to him yet, so this will be good. Video, with his sunglasses on.]

Brigadier-General Mustang. It's good to see you.

Sweet! That one'll be no problem for Cujo!

[explosivecombat]

My, my; that was a rather nice show indeed, Mustang. Perhaps I'm impressed.

[...he was really annoyed by this for all the wrong reasons.]

Impressive, I suppose... though, I can't say I was too fond of the music. It seemed overly theatrical.

not here

[ WELP. She's sort of out classed with her lone Sabelle the Sneasel so working harder and capturing more water types begins now!

Damn you and your Pokemon competency, Mustang. ]
