sculpted | MISSION 004 [SOUTHERN ROUTE 35

[[GOOD MORNING, JOHTO! Should you be watching your video feed this fine day, or in the vicinity of the outskirts of Goldenrod City, you'll soon catch sight of Alex Louis Armstrong posing dramatically in front of the camera, shirtless. Of course.]]

I have a marvel for you all today! My beautiful Stein has evolved into his final form!

[[And suddenly, popping up in front of the camera is....

....a swan in a purple bra. A sparkly purple bra.]]

Witness the way the sunlight catches his glossy feathers! The way the light sparkles across his wings! Have you ever seen such a magnificent sight, Johto?!

[[As Armstrong speaks, the Swanna goes through a series of triumphant poses. And if one looks closely, they might even see some....pink sparkles near his eyes? Could he have learned the art of the Armstrong sparkle, passed down in the Major's family for generations?]]

My Pokemon are now all in their final forms! And so I pose this question to you, noble viewers; what Gyms do you recommend we take on? We have been training our bodies firmly and dutifully in preparation for this day!

[[And behind him, Armstrong's team of Pokemon sit quietly, mostly looking amused at his display. Some look annoyed, but more at the Swanna's posing rather than their trainer.]]

Alternatively, should you wish to come and marvel at the sight that is the magnificent and beautiful Stein the Swanna, I welcome you all with open arms!

[NO...]

Looks like a whole lotta something to me. Like, I'm pretty sure only girls wear that, dude.

[Isaac laughs; he's normally not overly proud of himself, but this is about his Pokémon!! ...And then there's the fact that he's just in a really good mood so~]

Thanks! I've been collecting them for quite some time, but I should try to figure out which ones I want to focus on training.

[Definitely this Aerodactyl. And the Cryogonal. That one's his spirit animal!!]

[HE'S THE MOST ENTHUSIASTIC, SIR!!!]

Don't cry, sir! I'll show you just what I can do!

It never occurred to you to challenge the gyms as you went?

[Yes, please keep stroking Clive's ego, Armstrong]

All right, then!

[And Clive releases the rest of his team, which consists of an Absol, a Dusknoir, a Mawile, a Blissey, and the very same Nidoking that Kira took the form of earlier! He introduces them in order.]

This is Sibelle, Luther, Elizabeth, Grace, and Armstrong.

[It's pretty clear that they've been trained well, too, because they're all being surprisingly still. Stein seems to have caught some of their attention, though; Elizabeth is giving him a horribly mischievous smirk, Grace has a look of awe on her face, and Armstrong looks about ready to smash his face in. Meanwhile, the other two are ignoring him and just checking out this large man that their trainer is talking to.]

Yeah, guess him bein' all pink didn't turn out to be anythin' to worry about, right?

[Just a hint of satisfaction that she was right.]

He deserves 'em! Like that old story, the Ugly Duckling. Only without bein' ugly first.

[ aldfjalth yeeeeeees....

Gonna just. Tip that box back and dump it all into his mouth. What are portions? Or manners, for that matter...

Just gonna happily chew this for a while. ]

Congrats on the evo dude. He looks pretty radical. [She gives him a thumbs up.]

Mya, is too big for Chi to eat!

I can see that?

[Those sparkles....]

Right. That.

[Ahh! D:

I mean- Ahh-mazing! Just... Don't make him take his shirt off.]

... We fight each to as close as death allows us.

[All of the love and respect right here.]

I usually allow myself to brandish good whipping stick since Catherine has blades and whatnot.

[LOVE AND RESPECT EVERYWHERE.]

[Johnny is really trying hard to bulk up and match Armstrong's Physique...but stops for a moment.]

Ladies, you may want to take a number. Mine.

[Johnny continues with Flex-a-thon 2012: Live From Johto.]

I never thought I'd say this, big guy, but you're almost as pretty as me. I don't think people would be able to tell us apart if you had my hair and I had your moustache.

[He's straining now, but he continues trying to out-flex Armstrong. There's a Machop in the background, and his face is buried deep within its palm.]

Hah. Little guy's jealous... I think...

Victor, actually. But yeah, it's me.

[Gotta keep his fake names straight! He walks closer (since it doesn't look like Lucky's going to come on his own what is discipline with his Pokemon), hands in his pockets. He's very glad he decided to wear pants today and so isn't showing off his ouroboros.]

[Lucky puffs his chest out a little at that remark though. So many compliments, best day~] He likes to think so. Yours don't look too bad themselves.

[Except really Armstrong what is that swan]

Thank you, Major Armstrong, I'm sure you'll be delighted when the company I work for goes public.

[ O-oh. Those are some very suggestive feathers. ]

They're simply gorgeous. Like owner, like pokemon. I'm half expecting them to sparkle. [ GOD WHY DOES LUST TALK TO HIM AGAIN?? OH. YES. TO SAVE FACE.

also HEY HEY ARMSTRONG YOU HAVE CHEST FEATHERS B) ]

[WELL. Time for bluntness.]

... You sure you're not making it worse?

Ah, but they do!

[[HAVE A POSE

AND

YEP

SPARKLY FEATHERS]]

Do you not find them hypnotising, Mr Isabella?

They're absolutely mesmerizing. [ Lust is being sarcastic, but, she's definitely manages to pass as a sincere admirer. How could she forget! This is Armstrong's shiny pokemon! ]

You two are an absolute match for each other.

I doubt I'll be able to find something that matches it exactly, although I'm sure that I can find things that lie within my specialties. Tell me, then-what is the best way to catch Water Pokemon?

Why, that's simple! You need a fishing rod!

[[....is your body ready for this, Kayneth]]

...ah. Just fishing, then?

[...he would think so, but no, it's not...]

Sometimes you can find water types in the grass, but my best bet would be to go fishing for them! Have you got yourself some Pokeballs, my friend? There should be some in your bag!

[[SO HOW BADLY WILL THIS GO]]

Of course I do. Pokeballs are practically indispensable here, aren't they? I'm not the sort of man to go into something unprepared. All I really need to acquire is a fishing rod.

[...E-RANK LUCK...]

[[....OH BOY...]]

You should be able to buy a rod in the markets! Good luck to you, Mr Archibald; do update me when you acquire yourself a new Pokemon!

I'm grateful for the information you've provided, Mr. Armstrong. I'll do my best to keep in touch.

[........just.... shirts, bro. they exist for a reason.]
