Ninth Flight. [mid-day video/action for goldenrod city.]

[newberktown]

[Anyone familiar with the gym in Goldenrod will know what's up. Because that sure is wailing going on in the background.

...Oddly enough, though, there are also the sounds of:
1 Charmander snoring,
1 Swablu chirping, and
1 tiny viking arguing with a giant dragon.]

What do you mean you can fly?

[Sorry, Whitney, but your blubbering is being ignored in favor of dealing with the most exasperated Salamence ever. This was so much more important than badges.]

Yeah, okay, I get that you can 'fly' fly, but you're telling me that you have the ability to use the move Fly. As in 'carry me through the skies' Fly. Why didn't you tell me?

[Adder huffs noisily before flapping her wings to shoot a hard gust of air at him. HICCUP, SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO DO THAT FOR TWO WEEKS. You've just been focusing on ~alternative flight methods~ with Carmen Sandiego. Really, though, she wouldn't be annoyed if you weren't making such a big deal out of it. Just be happy already.]

Yeah, yeah... [Hiccup sighs, apparently giving in for now, before wandering over to slide the gear out from under the drowsy Charmander's claws.] Just would have been nice to know... Wait. Stormfly, didn't you just turn this off?

[...So it wasn't the battle he wanted recorded that was broadcast. Great.]

[ooc: cr is welcome to have witnessed the battle! curious people studying up for whitney's gym are also welcome.]

[Speaking of watching gym battles, guess who was hanging out up in the bleachers with her Spinarak and her Ivysaur while all this was going on? That's right. Whitney, she is not impressed with your tears.

She'll just leave him to his post-battle victory shenanigans and be waiting for him outside the gym doors.]

Congratulations.

She's been trying so hard!

[Sorry, Hiccup. He's siding with Whitney.]

[su6tlecoruscate]

[She would have commented on the actual conversation....but really not a fan of the wailing]

...so this is Whitney. [First time witnessing her tears]

[torrentofbits]

Er... What's with the crying?

[Because he's totally clueless on the matters of Gym Leaders.]

[Video] awww Adder

_{[... Okay, Heather can't help it. The way he's just totally IGNORING Whitney despite her best efforts is hilarious. She's snickering when she hits 'Video'.]}

Did you beat her with that dragon? If so, nice.

Wish we could've seen it.

[SO WHY IS THAT SWABLU CHIRPING 8|]

She still cries when she loses battles, huh. [Hi Whitney.]

<sub>[He's there with Carmen, naturally, and politely approaches post battle to do the WELL DONE SON thing, but anyone could tell he's a little distracted by the huge dragon too. In a gleeful sort of way. Because hee.]

[Lookng pretty happy, this guy.]</sub>

That wasn't a bad battle. Congratulations.

Yeah, Salamence learns Fly on its own. My friend has one. Pretty cool, right?

I think it might be the only Pokémon that does that. It's the only one I've ever heard of, anyway.

[He's a little confused. Crying in the background what?]

Ah....is everything all right there?
