Private call to Ven

[Vanitas looks rather pleased, despite trying to obviously not smile at the camera.]

Ventus, I got your package today. Carriers apologized about it being late.. [Pausing a moment, he lets out a sighed breath, a small smile creeping onto his face anyway.] It looks good.

[There's a moment with purple streaking across the screen, paws hitting the Gear and unlocking it for the rest of the network to see; Vanitas petting a very affectionate Purrloin on his shoulder with a red ribbon tied around the kitty's neck, smiling a bit more openly.]

Nitas, don't jump up like that. I was done talking anyway.. impatient.

[Turning his attention back to the Gear, he clears his throat.]

Thanks, Ventus.

[.... o o p s, he didn't know the call unlocked. Well, either way, he's hanging up now, so the feed clicks off.]

We'll plan on it then.

[He can't think of anything to say, so he just nods, a hint of a smile returning to his face.]

Until then, let's both work hard.

Yeah.

I've got to come up with a strategy, too...

Maybe add a wider variety of moves to your main team?

Yeah, I may have to do that. I'd heard it was more traditional sticking to four, but that sure worked against me when I challenged Surge.

What was his team that you saw?

He's got two teams, but I wanted to go against his level 100 ones, so...

[Rattles off that list o' mons that his mun doesn't remember offhand]

Hm. I'll have to look into those, if only to figure out the weaknesses.

Bolt did some serious damage with Dig, but it was too much work for just him and Aura.

Mm. Just using two would be too rough when everything is that level.

I thought my strategy'd be enough, but it looks like I need to work on it more first. That and give them more backup, so I'll keep training.

Riku probably can help you practice the strategy. He's got more than enough Pokemon.

That's true. He's been helping me train Shadow and Mistral already, now that their levels are getting up there.

Which ones are those? [He doesn't quite know the nicknames for all of Ven's pokes.]

My Lampent and Emolga.

The ghost and flying squirrel thing. [Clarifying.]

Pretty much.

You don't want to try different Pokemon entirely? Those don't quite have a type advantage.

I'll find a way to win with the team I've got. You haven't seen Shadow's Curse in action.

I guess I haven't. I'll have to remember to watch out for it when we battle.

Not the last thing to worry about with my team, either.

Probably not.

Gotta make it interesting, right?
