MISSION 004 [SOUTHERN ROUTE 35 - ACTION/VIDEO]
[[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!

.................BECAUSE IT WAS FABULOUS
holy hell you are actively getting applause from over here]
Very impressive, my good man - while the subject of your exuberance is admittedly an unusual one, that was quite the display.

WELL THEN HE'LL HAVE TO POSE AGAIN, WON'T HE?]]
Your compliments touch me deeply, sir! Are you stunned by the beauty of my wondrous Pokemon; and, of course, his wondrous trainer?

[Too bad for Envy he's got his Houndoom along with him today, and said Houndoom has caught sight of this new person and new pokemon and there are things sparkling and he must investigate. So Armstrong will have a sunglasses-wearing hellhound letting out a bark of greeting and trotting on up to him, tail wagging and looking oh so excited to meet everyone.]

The feed clicks on to show Lust some distance away. A Sneasel clings into her shoulder and looks at the feed distrustingly. A swinub, can be seen by her foot as she carries a new egg. Cubchoo, or Armstrong, remains in the background sneezing up snot puddles. A Hoppip can be seen passing after a brief tangle in Lust's hair that's resolved just seconds before the feed turns on.
Of course, that's not all the pokemon she has on her. A shiny Smoochum blows kisses towards the feed as its standard greeting. And Lickitung and Munchlax are eating out of a dumpster. Whatever. These aren't her pokemon. She don't care. She gets paid whether they're in dire need of pepto bismol or not.
ENOUGH WITH THE BORING DESCRIPTIONS. HERE WE GO. TALKING TIME. Lust's voice is courteous and polite. ]
Hello, Major Armstrong. It's pleasant to see you again. It's been a while. [ And now onto her question. She looks a bit beside herself. ] However, I have to question what's going on in this feed. Is your pokemon wearing a brasserie? [ GIVES A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO THE TERM WONDER BRA. ]
video
[[Have a cheery wave, and a pose from said brasserie-wearing swan!]]
This is Stein! Isn't he just magnificent!?

bb you're in danger at AC, let's get threading!!!

WHAT IS HE WATCHING
GOD
Okay give him a moment so he can stop gawking, close his mouth and clear his throat before speaking. Because yes. Gyms and stuff.]
With the guys you've got back there? You shouldn't have problems beating most of 'em! Fire-type's good for both Azalea and Mahogany's leaders, Fighting will get ya the badge in Goldenrod and with two Flying-types, beating Chuck in Cianwood will be a piece of cake! ... You might wanna challenge Falkner, too, since you've got Rock and Electric over there, right? [He says that last one rather reluctantly, considering how it's basically admitting Flying-types have flaws... but uh, can't really hide that.]
... He looks pretty cool. Stein, that is. [
he wants one][video]
Your advice is greatly apprecited, young Mr Crow! You must be a rather experienced young trainer!
[[Stein will just flutter over to his trainer and perch on his shoulder, silently demanding more compliments with a very arrogant pose.]]
He is the coolest, my boy! You train birds, don't you? Then you, out of anyone, can truly appreciate him best!

[WHAT WITH THE SPARKLING AND ALL...]
[He pauses -- man all the gyms have been kind of weird so far.]
Just start at the beginning of the gyms, and go from there.
[Video]
[[And he's being serious! He thinks Stein is the most beautiful thing ever, so to be compared to him...!!]]
How can I possibly thank you for your kindness?!
