17 // [video + not as planned trouble]

[shadowdive]

[When the feed flips on today, there's a pair of little blue paws on either side of the screen and Vanitas crouched down, peering in closely at the screen. Leaning back then, he reached past the view a moment before moving to stand.]

Alright Runt, stay here with that. I want to go over it after to double check something.

[It's almost strange to hear a content tone he hasn't had before; someone has certainly settled into the routine of raising Pokemon and battling, huh? Stepping further and further away into the view, it's now easier to see that he's in the Olivine gym and about to take the challenge, considering Jasmine is already prepared and explaining the general rules.

With those said and done, Vanitas moves back to his side of the arena and releases... everyones favorite psycho Charizard! Yeah, Dartanian looks a bit overly pumped today, belching out some fire in the air and giving an aggressive roar. Any Pokemon watching? They're able to hear him being ultra excited too.]

((FiGHT! WIlL WIn! WILL DeSTRoy!))

[Jasmine doesn't seem phased by the Charizard, though she must know she'll be at the type disadvantage. Letting out her Skarmory first, she's quick to tell it to use agility first. Vanitas? Doesn't need to say a word, since Dartanian charges forward as soon as the Pokemon is released. The speed boost definitely helps in letting the bird dodge the first belch of fire, but the dragon-like Pokemon is all over it in the next attack; a swift chomp from an open maw fire fang catches a wing, and while he still has the Skarmory up close, Dartanian flips it up into the air and inhales deeply to spit out an extra large flamethrower.

Bird down, two to go. Jasmine returns the Pokemon and lets out her next, prepping it with an X-Spec. Def along the way. It won't be visible right off the bat that her item of choice was that, but when the Magneton looks virtually unharmed from Dartanians next flamethrower attack, Vanitas speaks up finally.]

Flare blitz.

[Yeah, the physical fire attack got a one hit knock out on the Magneton then. Preparing himself with an excitable beginnings of outrage, Jasmine only returns her Magneton, giving in the white flag. Seems she knows her Steelix won't be doing any better, and has decided to give up.]

You are more than a match for me.. so there doesn't seem to be a reason to continue this fight. You have earned the Mineral badge.



[Looking mighty proud of himself, Vanitas makes his way across the arena without returning Dartanian to pick up his badge and whatever else she plans on giving him, since all Gym leaders seem to pass out freebies. Dartanian, however.. doesn't look pleased by this turn of events.]

((NO! FIghT MORe! WAnT TO FIGht MoRE!!))

[Roaring and snarling, flames leaking from his nose and mouth, Dartanian starts to stomp after his trainer, all sorts of unhappy. Ignoring his Pokemon while pocketing his badge and even when Jasmine looks a bit unsure and is taking a few steps back, Vanitas only turns when his business is done to reach and try to give the dragon-like Pokemon a punch in the nose; the usual punishment for being obnoxious.

Yeah, Dart wasn't having any of that today. Turning his head to dodge the fist, he's quick to snap those jaws down on Vanitas' arm, catching it bent so he had both forearm and upper arm, elbow sticking out of his maw. The motion itself has the camera shaking a bit, a startled Mii! and a few other surprised Pokemon noises coming from behind the Gear, before the device is dropped.

The Gear doesn't miss much despite facing up to the ceiling now as the other Pokemon run to assist their trainer, since there's a sharp yell of pain and a roaring Charizard throwing Vanitas up into the air and not letting go of his arm... and there's the snap of a dislocated shoulder.]

((WEaK! GONe sOFT!! NEVer WOULD HaVE STopPED BEfORe!!! FIGhT MORE!!!))

[With a loud, offscreen thud, Vanitas is letting out another loud, pained sound. Getting thrown into steel walls hurts a bit, yaknow? It doesn't sound like his other Pokemon are letting this all go, though, since there's electrical snaps as Minun works on paralyzing the Charizard. With all the fighting making the ground shake, the feed eventually shorts out. When it does come back a few minutes later, it has a view straight up of an Altaria snapping that sharp beak forward and driving Dartanian back, before spitting out a well placed dragon pulse that knocks the fire type back and out finally.

With things finally quieting down other than gentle, concerned sounds from a small group of Pokemon, Jasmine is finally able to cautiously approach, visible on the screen as she stands near the Altaria.]

I'll.. I'll call the center, please don't move, sir..!

[There's a sour sounding wheeze from somewhere very close, but it's Minun who finds the Gear again. Picking up the somehow not broken device, the Pokemon looks a bit distressed when flipping the feed off.]


(ooc notes: The red is Dartanian, I didn't feel like writing GRAHHHH and putting a translation when what he's saying is more important XD Vanibutt got kind of thrown around and his arm snapped in two places while the feed was pointed away, and the Altaria? Sanaa has finally evolved! Vanitas will be uh.. responding a few hours later after his arm has been dealt with appropriately (hi burns with breaks). Displeased Vanibutt is displeased though.)

[WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HER FRIENDS AND ACCIDENTS LATELY??]

Vanitas? Are you alright...?

[video] HI THERE 8Db also roughly four hours later...

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Well, Vanitas tried to punch his insane Charizard and it didn't go very well. When he does answer the question sitting on his Gear, Vanitas looks all sorts of displeased while sporting a large bruise on the left side of his face, along with a black eye. It's harder to see, but his right arm is nicely wrapped and casted and bundled under a blanket.]

... Yes. [He's angry, he's really angry, but stuck in a PokeCenter bed until the burns have at least been treated a few more times. So, bottling it up to take out later... is all he really knows how to deal with this kind of emotion.]

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

That looked dangerous... I was worried about you. I'm glad you're safe now...

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[It's a shame Dartanian already caused the emotional damage with the physical too, since he'd be more... appreciative of the words. Shifting his eyes away with his expression smoldering, his tone came out sour.]

I won't be letting my guard down again. [Ever. Again.]

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

[Beato knows something is wrong, but she can't quite put her finger on it. All she knows is that Vanitas is upset, and that she wants to help him like he helped her. Lets out a kind smile.]

I know you won't, you're very strong.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Opening his mouth, almost starting 'You don't even know', Vanitas... honestly looks a bit lost on the vote of confidence. His anger deflated, at least for now, as he quietly moved his eyes back to the screen.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... yeah okay so for the record? That Charizard is basically everything that scares her about fire Pokemon.]

[Which is why Heather's eyes are legitimately wide when she responds. She's concerned, sure, but the sight of that dragon belching flames and the sound of it flinging its trainer around like a ragdoll hit her on a few levels that are entirely personal.]</sub>

... What the shit happened back there?

_{[She didn't take Vanitas nearly as seriously as he seemed to take himself, but, she'd always just sort of... assumed that he at least had control of his Pokemon.]}

[Video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Sup Heather! Four hours later, you'll get your answers!

He's not looking very pleased at all with the massive bruise up on the left side of his face which matches his black eye, and offscreen, there's a lovely cast and some bandages for burns. He feels awesome, and I am being incredibly sarcastic. Vanitas curled his lip a bit when he did find the words, but his tone was downright sour.]

Dartanian didn't like that the battle ended early. [It's all he can gather, honestly, and it nothing short of pisses him off. Fsking Pokemon thinks he can do what he wants, PAH. Payment will come while he bides and lets that rage fester in a bottle.

Vanitas didn't bother reviving the Pokemon before shoving him in the PC, after all.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Well, at least the thing didn't snap his NECK...]

[Her reply is more or less one of the bluntest things she's ever said to Vanitas, apart from maybe the time where she told him that she'd kill him if he laid a finger on Sora. That was probably blunter. But this is pretty blunt.]</sub>

Dartanian is a sociopath.

_{[Or at least that's the impression SHE got.]}

[Video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

I knew. He finally smarted up just enough to dodge my fist this time. [No, he's not really that proud of the creature for this.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Maybe you shouldn't have made a habit of hitting a sociopath.

[video]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

Vanitas?!

[ WHAT THE HELL. ]

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Hi Asuka, four hours have passed before you're getting a response! 8DDDD]

Yeah?

[While his sour tone isn't exactly directed at her, Vanitas is still all sorts of pissed sounding. Wearing a lovely bruise up the side of his left face and helping that black eye look darker, he's got a cast offscreen on his right arm. Displeased Vanitas is incredibly displeased by this turn of events.]

video

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[... this is exactly why he left Dartanian in the box. at all times.]

Uh. Vanitas?

video

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Bruised left face + black eye? Check. Right arm in a cast offscreen? Check. Irritable looking face that mirrors Sora's own? Check.

Hi Sora, Vanitas doesn't look all that thrilled to find you on his Gear.]

What.

video

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[he's not exactly thrilled either, but you are half of his big bro, after all.]

Can't control him either, huh?

video

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Leveling the twin-face with a look, it takes a few minutes before he answers.]

It was always a matter of keeping him entertained enough to not act up.

video

[newhero.livejournal.com]

That's not really being in control of him, though.

[audio]

[zero-approval.livejournal.com]

Having some problem, boy?

[Sooo the voice might not sound familiar, but the Trainer ID should be familiar to him!]

[audio]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[The ID? Definitely. And it brings out a pissy hiss.] What do you want.

[Video] sorry for the late!

[dragonspeak]

[Okay, yeah. From the moment he hears Dartanian saying something about destroying things, Merlin's concerned. There's a reason he and Sora never managed to get the Charizard to cooperate.]

Vanitas!

[video] it's okay! <333

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[It's about four hours later when Merlin is going to get a reply, and Vanitas looks.... well. The left side of his face is all bruised up, and it has given him quite a nasty black eye. On the right side, obscured by the view cutting off, is a nice white cast. He looks all sorts of displeased to be in a hospital bed again, let's just say that.]

I'm here.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

You’re here, but obviously not all right. [Not even bothering to hide his worry.] I thought you and Dartanian were getting along!

[Video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Snorting about that, Vanitas rolls his eyes.] I kept him occupied for a while.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Occupied? What do you mean? [He’s wondering if he should try talking to the Charizard again...not that it did any good the first time around.]
