dressofheaven | 3rd Grail [Video/Action for Violet]

[The video clicks on to the sound of slow, ponderous, but very heavy sounding steps. Ilya appears to be seated rather than walking, but it's hard to tell what she's riding on.]

Hmmm... so, is there any real reason to go through that cave south of Violet except for it being the fastest way to Azalea? I have to admit, there don't seem to be any Pokemon I'd want in there, and I don't really like the idea of it being my next destination now that I've gotten the badge from Falkner. He was really nice, too, we talked about myths together for a bit after the fight. It sounds like I need to get to Ecruteak sooner or later.

But I'm getting off track. Really, do you have to go to that cave? Would there be any trouble just going back to Goldenrod, then through the forest instead? Forests are a lot better than caves. Or would you miss something important that way?

I should talk to Ahri about it... Oh, before I go, Berserker has something to share with you all.

[Her expression turns from a thoughtful frown into a huge grin as she turns the gear to face her newly-evolved Rhydon.]

See? He evolved! The day after we beat Falkner, in fact! Typhon did too, but I'll have to show her off later. Say hello, Berserker.

["Raaaaaarrrgh!"]

Good boy! [Giggling, she rubs his horn a bit with one hand, while the other reaches out to turn off the gear.]

[She glows under the praise, even if its for Berserker rather than herself. She is his trainer, after all, he has to owe at least some of his strength (and most of his attitude) to her.]

Well, they're probably hard to find and catch, but... maybe if I could find him a nice girl, I could do some breeding.

[She chuckles.] He's grown so much since then, hasn't he? It won't be long before stopping his charge becomes a lot less easy.

Bwa ha ha! Well, if ya do end up with eggs, consider me your first customer.

[And oh, he can relate to that whole charging notion big time.]

I wonder who's the bigger bulldozer outta him and Smasher. Maybe one of these days they should have a rematch.

When he's at the height of his power, and all the way evolved, I'd be happy to let him loose around her. I'd love to see how that turns out.

[Bereserker'd still be on the wrong side of a type disadvantage, but you'd be surprised what Solid Rock can do for that.]

They say his first form can charge hard enough to knock down buildings. I wonder what the strongest one can do...

Maybe it can bulldoze mountains! That's what that 'Dex thing says Tremor can do.

[Cue some evil laughter. Oh man, Tyranitars are awesome!]

Ooooo, now that would be fun! Smash your way through a mountain and watch as all the Pokemon who lived there go wild. I wouldn't want to live in one of the nearby towns when that happens.

It'd be the perfect way to earn some respect, too! Smash something as huge, awesome, and foreboding as a mountain, and they'll know better than to get on your bad side.

I should do that sometime!
