explosivecombat: (Rather strong physical disadvantages)

011. [Video/Action for outside of Goldenrod City]

[VIDEO/ACTION]

[Today's episode of Oh God, What: Solf J Kimblee Edition is brought to you by a Pokégear that seems to have been knocked to the ground; the shot is incredibly lopsided and at least some of the action is out of view of the camera, but more than enough is visible to convey that there is what appears to be a raging battle going on between a rather high-leveled Ninetales and an unbelievably annoyed Steelix over there. The battle doesn't look like the uncontrolled flailfest that it would be if either Pokémon were rampaging or beyond a trainer's guidance, but if it's a training battle, it's a hideously uneven one - the Steelix is obviously far weaker and at a type disadvantage - and there doesn't appear to be a trainer anywhere immediately nearby.

Of course, if you still don't see said trainer after a moment of looking, it's possible that you're just not looking high enough.

Clearly, today Kimblee has decided that he isn't content to just watch battles from the sidelines, as he's currently commanding this half of the battle from on top of the Steelix. He's trained Dorian well enough to attack unprompted if necessary; right now, he's crouched down on one knee atop Nagara's head, keeping a one-handed grip on the steelsnake and holding his fedora on with the other hand.

He doesn't seem to mind that Dorian is slinging full-out fire attacks at him now, nor does he even seem aware of the heat flowing through the metal of Nagara's body on any level other than purely physical; if you can get a good look at him when Nagara is holding reasonably still, he's flinching a good amount physically and shifting his grip quite a bit, indicating that he's definitely feeling the burn through his clothes, but he doesn't seem inclined to jump down - if anything, he's laughing as the battle rages on, that long ponytail and the length of his white trenchcoat flowing out behind him, and for all intents and purposes he seems to be having a grand old time.

Granted, those who know him reasonably well probably know that the reckless behavior and manic laughter are signs that he's neither pleased nor feeling particularly sane; he's taking the failed attack against Goldenrod City as a personal insult, and he's got a lot of steam that needs to be let out as a result. As such, today's training session is horrendously harsh; as soon as he gets any sort of indication that Nagara is being weakened too badly by the flames - and he seems fairly used to the way battle feels from up here, so he can tell - he's immediately throwing down healing items so she can keep going.

At the same time, Kimblee can't keep it up forever, and really neither can his Steelix. He'll stop eventually, much to the poor thing's relief; she lowers her head to let him down, though he doesn't seem too inclined to move yet - rather, he has his eyes closed and seems to be focusing on catching his breath, and ignoring the fact that he's likely burned himself in several locations. Eventually, however, he does seem to notice that the 'Gear took a hell of a fall somewhere along the lines; he picks it up and snaps it off without checking it, promptly ending and sending the feed the thing had been been broadcasting without being too aware of what he's doing.

However tired he may be - and he does seem incredibly tired, in those brief moments he's visible up-close on the 'Gear; he's been doing damn near suicidal training all day - there's still a tight sense of energy to him, and his gaze is alive; he doesn't seem able to calm himself very well, and it's incredibly likely he'll move on to something else completely idiotic by the end of the day if he's not distracted by anything.]

[Ryuunosuke's nearly innocent expression suddenly shifts into something a bit darker.]

You know, you could just ask whether I'm in Team Rocket or not. I really don't mind.

[He's not quite as dumb as he tends to come off!]

I got here around five days ago. So yeah, I showed up here as a member of Team Rocket.

Excellent.

I hope you have some water and salt ready.

Your sarcasm is uncalled for in this case. Water and salt is a simple remedy against burns, readily available and always effective. Your friend will likely confirm it.

One on ones?

[His mouth turns a little, though whether that's in thought or amusement is illegible.]
Am surprised you are not having free for all. Is what I do with my monsters.

>[Then again, you do have a Steelix there, and DAMN that was a nice looking monster...

He does have a Gyarados though, so he guesses that's kind of the same thing.]

So what do you expect he will use? Just out of curiosity.

[Oh shut up.]

Very well then. You are getting these treated, Kimblee.

[Because he'll order you to sit the fuck down and let him treat them if he has to.]

That doesn't prove a damn thing. The fact that you weren't around the Game Corner all day means nothing when you're part of an organization willing to work together to commit an act of terror like what occurred two days ago. Your not being involved with placing the bombs doesn't imply that you didn't help make the bombs.

And so what if you're a regular? I wouldn't put it beyond you to simply wait until the Game Corner got rebuilt and new staff was hired. Just look at how long you rotted behind bars back home before Bradley released you.

[Well, the steelsnake was kind of obvious, so it was pretty easy to find you! Running off into the wilderness is totally a valid idea!]

...Hey.

[Kimblee doesn't look horribly burned or anything, but from the way he's leaning against that steelsnake...]

Are you alright?

[He's not exactly going to buy any answer you give him, just saying.]
greatestcool: (✂ I'll think about it.)

[personal profile] greatestcool 2012-04-19 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really care. What's the punishment? Sitting in jail for a couple of weeks? That's no issue.

[Ryuunosuke shrugs. He's not bothered by this idea at all.]

It doesn't matter to me. As long as I get to have fun and experience all this place has to offer!

[In all his time here, John has never seen anything quite like this. It's clearly reckless, more than a little bit crazy, but damn does it kind of look like fun. He has only two words to say to this.]

holy crap. o_o

[Because he has far too much time on his hands and he likes inventing ways to hurt train his pokémon.]

Is definitely something to try if you prefer more... hands on training.

[You're a man after his own heart Kimblee.]

I assure you nothing else needs to be said~

[He pulls away from what he was doing to properly focus on the 'Gear and switching the feed to private- afterall there's something he wants to clarify.]

So, were you part of Cobra's little crew that were stopped by hero team, or am I wrong about his cohorts?

[Because seriously, if it was you that set up those bombs, he feels for you man- he knows you're pretty bang-on (haha puns) with your explosives.

He also knows that, if it was, this would be the second time these guys had completely disarmed one of your babies. That must hurt Kimblee.]

How magnificent.

[[Kato is back in his normal outfit, seated at a bench in the lab. He appears to have been working quite hard; it's littered with parts. The smalltalk isn't forced; he's legitimately impressed by Kimblee's display, but there are far more pressing matters to discuss.]]

Have you spoken to Cobra at all? He seemed....a bit touchy about the Game Corner.

[[He'll refrain from mentioning the word 'failure'.]]
