8th Grail: [Video/Action for Route 35]
[The gear opens on a scene of Ilya sitting next to her Deino, waving him over to a patch of flowers and bopping his nose with her hand when he tries to eat them. Behind her, Xion can be seen surfing on top of her Gyarados.
The gear then swivels over to show Berserker the Rhyperior marching around in the tall grass many yards away. A text message accompanies the scene.]
We see here the not-so-wild Berserker in what is most decidedly not its natural habitat.
[Berserker glances around a bit, then suddenly lunges at something.]
What's this? Berserker has found something! What could it be?
[His massive hand pulls back to reveal a male Nidoran, biting repeatedly at his fingers. Berserker stares at the tiny spiked beastie for a few moments.]
You can almost see the gears in his head turning. What is this strange creature? Why is it biting me? How can I make it stop?
[Apparently coming to a conclusion on that last one, Berserker slams his hand into the ground abruptly.]
And the answer to all his questions is, as always, Hammer Arm.
[Lifting up his hand again, Berserker inspects the dazed Nidoran. After a few moments of consideration, he turns to lumber over to Ilya.]
Ah! It seems he's decided to show his magnificent victory off to his trainer. I wonder how impressed she'll be?
[Ilya lifts her head as Berserker approaches, tilting her head in curiosity.]
What did you find, Berserker... Is that a Nidoran? It doesn't look very healthy.
[Apparently hearing this, the Nidoran abruptly lifts his head and leaps out of the stunned Rhyperior's hand, landing on shaky legs in front of Ilya and beginning to squeak rather unimpressively at her. She does seem pretty surprised he's even moving.]
Xion! I think Berserker found a Pokemon that can still stand after one of his attacks!
[ Despite the distance - both in terms of being away from land and riding on the crown of an over twenty foot sea serpent - Xion can be seen turning her head back to Illya. She taps her Gyarados head, who gives a low roar of obedience and swims his way closer to land. He lowers his head, but the black-clad girl doesn't slip off just yet. ]
Are you planning to capture it, Ilya?
I'm not sure! It must be pretty tough to still be standing, but I'm not so sure I want a Nidoran...
[Ilya is interrupted when the Nidoran in question proceeds to leap at Berserker's leg, biting and scratching. Berserker stares down at him for a couple moments, then thumps him with his tail. The Nidoran is driven into the ground, and even Ilya winces at the brutality of the attack.
And yet, somehow, when the dust clears, he's trying to rise back up again.]
I don't believe it...
[ Xion watches the Nidoran trying to get back up by sheer tenacity and will. It actually reminds her of all the times she was knocked down and struggled to rise against her opponents. She gives a contemplative hum. ]
I'd give it a chance.
Well, if it's that determined, maybe...
[Ilya pulls out a ball, looking thoughtful, as Hydra wanders over to sniff at the newcomer. In a fit of irony, the Nidoran bites the Deino's nose, and Hydra begins yelping in pain.
At that, Xion frowns. ]
Hey!
[ In response to her cry, Lancer the Gyarados gives a roar at that Nidoran, red eyes lighting up with a threat.
The Nidoran, recognizing the greater threat, releases Hydra, who staggers back behind Ilya, and turns to face Lancer on wobbly legs. He looks like he can barely stand, but he just will not go down.
And then Ilya tosses out a pokeball. He has a brief chance to blink before he's sucked in and the ball begins to wiggle. Once, twice... three times, and it dings. Ilya walks over to it.]
Okay, you've proven yourself. I name you... Achilles.
[ Xion smiles at that before giving Lancer a brief pat on his head to calm him down. He even closes his eyes briefly at the treatment before she turns to Illya. ]
You still want to walk along the road or ride with us?
Actually, my feet are getting kind of tired. Let me just... hey, where's my gear?
The text returns.]
Well, it looks like that's all the time we have for today. Join us next time for-
Orpheus, give that back!
Whoops, angry Mistress! Bye!
[And the feed ends.]
[OOC: Blue is Xion. Bold is Orpheus the Dusknoir. Characters can reply to either him or Ilya! Xion may respond as well.]
