[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.

Vanitas, are you okay?

[What is their luck lately?]

Looks like you got hit pretty hard. You sure nothing's broken?

[It's rare that Vanitas doesn't recover pretty quickly, in his experience. That's cause enough for worry in his mind]

Stuff like this makes me miss healing spells.

[But then, so many things do]

I wish your Croagunk didn't look so smug about it. Back home it probably wouldn't be a problem, but here...

I'll say. First I've ever seen of something like that, usually it's hits a trainer can take or an accident.

[Ven will just keep mentally filtering out all the obscenities/ Perhaps it sounds like BEEEEEP a la Nier RepliCant]

I ought to count myself lucky Valkyrie was upset instead of glad she nicked me. What'll you do about that attitude though?

Get a squirt bottle.

It's the shock, especially if it's cold water. Lemon juice might work, too, if you aim it in their mouths!

[Just to make sure that he would be heard from where the gear was dropped.]

Your gear was showing video! You okay?

Squirt bottle won't work.

[Why yes, he saw Rikku's comment there.]

At least, it won't if your Croagunk's ability is Dry Skin.

[By the way, there's a Toxicroak looming in the background. Staring, watching, unmoving and unblinking.]

Your best bet's to use one of your stronger Pokémon to knock it down a few pegs.

I think that'd be accomplished easier if you had all your powers just like he does.
