keychained | 024; video/action for Goldenrod

[as much as Sora loves bugs, and as he would have liked to leave Goldenrod to beat up certain bugs for a certain gym badge, this kid appearing on the network this afternoon is in Serious Battle Mode- a mode he hasn't been in ever since he got here and finally had a chance to relax.]

It's just one thing after another... Hey! How is everybody holding up? No serious injuries, right? If you're somewhere around Goldenrod and you need help, lemme know. I'll come get you.

[a pause.] Is anybody else out there trying to fight these things? They need to be kept as far away from the pokecenters as possible so people can still get in.

[Sora shakes his head. he may or may not have been on the receiving end of a Yanma attack earlier, and quite frankly he found it worse than taking a wing to the face from a Wyvern. not something he wants to experience again, nor does he want anybody else experiencing it. luckily he's armed and ready for the next battle he's about to run headfirst into: a carved Keyblade! a single pokeball! ... a pair of earplugs! Sora that is not a good weapon at all.]

I'm gonna try one more idea. Stay safe you guys!

Yeah. Ecruteak's alright. It feels...older than Goldenrod, and not as modern. Kind of like Violet, but bigger.

I don't mind it.

Sounds nice. Have you checked out the gym?

[Sora, why are you asking, you haven't even gotten a first badge yet.]

Not yet, but these bugs have given me a chance to train before I challenge it.

You're training on the bugs? [Sora's just been smacking them with his carved Keyblade.]

Well, yeah. They're pokemon aren't they? I did say I wasn't fighting alone. Plus it's easier to take out multiple targets.

You'd think I would have been doing that... [Sora's certainly been here long enough. maybe this lack of dedication to training is still why he has no badges.]

You haven't? The bugs aren't heartless...

It's... not too late to start! I've been needing to train Metal Chocobo.

There's still a lot of bugs around, so go for it. It's kind of fun, fighting with your pokemon.

Yeah? I spar with mine a lot, so I see where you're coming from.

[he spars with Dapper anyway. beedrills are kinda like yellow operas.]

I kinda like fighting with a team this way.

It makes fighting kinda fun, huh?

Yeah, it does.

[Granted he's always been good at fighting]

Then I'll start doing a lot of fighting, too!

Good luck.

You too, Roxas.
