006; [video]

[Sora's taking a break from traveling on Route 30 this morning to train a brand new friend he'd captured a few days ago in the Dark Cave-- the feed turns on, the camera focused up on Sora and a silly old bear, who is currently wobbling on his tiny feet and trying to mimic his trainer's pose.]

Is it on, Dapper? Good! Hey, you guys!

[he waves-- this is becoming the customary pokégear greeting for Sora. the Teddiursa at his feet waves a stubby little arm, too.]

I thought I'd show everyone out there training some warm-ups I learned from a good friend back in Traverse Town. They're called stoutness exercises, and they always helped me loosen up before a long day of fighting! Ready?

[there's an enthusiastic "Weedle!" from somewhere off-camera. oh look, Mr. Crankypants is going to try it, too.]

All you need to do is stretch your arms waaaaaay above your head, hold it there, then bend down and touch your toes, and hold it. Just stretch as high as you can, Dapper, okay? Do that ten times! Up, down, touch the ground!

[they slowly go through the motions of ten reps-- the Teddiursa is trying his darndest, but is having some issues actually touching his toes, and somersaults right onto his back on the last attempt. Sora bends down to help the little guy back on his feet, managing not to laugh.]

Good job, everyone! And now we eat.

In your dreams, maybe!

[And up! Riku's ready to dart off at any time.]

[Sora continues his exercises innocently enough, though his body language is probably easy to read-- a few seconds later, he suddenly turns on his heels and takes off running!]

[Riku expected that, and he immediately takes off after Sora with his Pokémon trailing close behind!]

[where are they even racing to? who knows! Sora's had a few months of Heartless bashing and endurance training, so there's no way he can lose! right? right. at least, that's what he thinks.]

[And Riku's had a few months of adventuring! ...Between Cherrygrove and Violet, but still!

This is gonna be a tough match. The stakes are high!]

[Sora's gaining the lead! it's looking like he might win-- OH NO WHO PUT THAT DIP IN THE GROUND THERE; MAY DAY, MAY DAY, WE'RE GOING DOWN CAPTAIN.]

[Haha! Riku takes the time to rush ahead of Sora, smirking as he goes.]

[OH NO YOU DON'T Sora grabs a hold of Riku's ankle as he runs past!]

[identity profile] islandshore.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa--!

[That causes Riku to fall down with a THUD.]

-- Whoa, Riku, did you see that hole? It took both of us out!

[... >C Sora, Riku's going to punt you in the gut. Sorry, bud.]

[action]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ow!!

[even though Sora technically deserved that, he socks Riku right back out of reflex, one hand holding where he got punted. that hurt, geez!]

[Oh, relax, Sora. It wasn't even that hard of a punch!

That said, he'll duck out of the way when Sora retaliates.]

[it still hurt! and now Riku has a fiercely pouting Sora on his hands.]

Oh, c'mon. It's what you get for dragging me down.

[action]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
[... pfff, he just laughs now.]

C'mon Riku, gimme a break. You're beating me by like 500 anyway.

[identity profile] islandshore.livejournal.com 2010-10-06 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I win fair and square.

How about we agree that this little race doesn't count?
