[The feed opens up a bit into the bushes, a Buizel chittering away behind the screen and a Litwick wiggling just in the right hand corner, and paws are rolling the gear around. It takes a few minutes for the camera to be righted and pointing a direction that doesn't show leaves and snow, and then it's displaying a yard. A backyard.
Out in that backyard, Vanitas is practicing hand to hand combat with his Riolu and Croagunk; all three are working on their form today, led by "Instructor Zuru" the Scraggy. It seems to be going well enough, some simple arm thrusts and kicks being worked through, before they split into two groups. Riot starts off with a fierce volley of kicks at Zuru, who starts countering and dodging, and Vanitas takes a charge at the Croagunk.. who looks overly nonchalant.
It's a split second movement that the frog fighter makes, and not one Vanitas was particularly ready for; Croagunk used foul play and downright sucker punched his trainer in the gut, doing a fine job of knocking him off his feet and flat on his back. The resulting pained wheeze is enough to make the voyeur Pokemon go running, the Buizel leaving the gear behind in the bushes to time out on its own.]

[He's moving out of sight for a moment, before returning and holding up a couple feathers. He slides them between his fingers then and turns the feed at the wooden wall, before throwing the feathers like knives; they really do stick easily.]
They make good emergency knives. It's just easy to nick the inside of your fingers if you don't know what you're doing. [Though he remembers, she's very good with knives.]

Somehow, I don't see that being a problem. I'll just have to keep my eyes open for a Skarmory, I suppose.

But your idea gave me the idea for this. Blacksmithing isn't something I ever knew before, but it's been something to figure out as I go.

[ And she watches him closely, her curiosity piqued. Is that what she -- yes. Yes, it is and despite the apprehension she feels with regards to the matter of having apparently been in Johto before, she really can't help but feel that it was her that gave him this idea and that? That... evokes a bit of pride. ]
And how has that been going for you?

It's been going well enough that I've made some armor pieces that do well enough against most things. Fireproofing is still the toughest part, since the steel here is very weak to the high temperatures of fire type Pokemon.
