06 ☣ video/action for vermillion

[Have a shot of Nero's hand, holding the Thunder Badge.]

That was a piece of cake after the hell that voodoo chick in Saffron put me through; finding that damn switch was a worse pain in my ass than breaking into HQ back home, though.

[He turns the camera around. His hair...well, let's just say that the levels of static electricity in the Vermillion gym are quite high, and leave it at that. Dandelion? Got nothin' on this.

Clearly Nero hasn't noticed, because he runs a hand through it, a bit impatient, only making it worse. Behind him, there's a snuffling sound, before a big, lumbering shape--his Druddigon, all teenage-gangliness and overenthusiastic movement--pushes her head affectionately against his side. She reaches up to fix his hair, but he doesn't know it, so he tilts his head away, letting her claw rub like sandpaper over his cheek. His eyes narrow.]

So, uh.

Anyone know how to make a pokemon like you...less?

[Because having a two-hundred-pound fangirl with scales like sandpaper hanging all over you during a gym match when you're trying to teach her how things are done is. Distracting.

Click.]

You made it to Cherrygrove yet?

Did you see the new breeding center eggs getting announced?

I don't want her to hate me, I just want her to hang on less.

Perhaps you could just give her a stern talking to? Pokémon are capable of understanding human speech, after all. If she still doesn't listen, then implement some form of punishment. Nothing too drastic, but something that would at least upset her to some degree and discourage her from continuing that behavior.

[His nose wrinkles a bit, more in thought than anything else. He's always been a hands-off kind of trainer, and so far, it's served him well. Admitting that he needs to talk to Victrix, like an equal, is weird.]

I'll try that. [Tiny pause.] Thanks.

No problem!

[Slight change in topic now.]

What kind of Pokémon is she, anyway? I've never seen a Pokémon like that before.

She's called a Druddigon. Got her back in February.

[Meaning she isn't native to Johto, like all the other pokemon that got given out then.]
