MISSION 006 [VIDEO/ACTION FOR VIOLET CITY]
[[Hello and welcome to another fantastically manly Alex Louis Armstrong broadcast! Today, we're starting with a scintillating view of our (shirtless, of course) hero, standing just on the outskirts of Violet City.
Faced with a snarling Garchomp.
...make that a snarling and charging Garchomp, as the beast rockets forward, claws out, ready to barrel into Armstrong....!
...who promptly moves to the side with speed that a man of his size simply shouldn't possess, lightly knocking the Garchomp's strikes away with his fists. Screeching, she pivots sharply and swings her tail toward him, but that too is avoided with apparent ease. Tensing, Armstrong lands a good uppercut on the Garchomp's chin before finishing with a firm strike to her chest. The Garchomp, stunned, crashes to the ground, prompting her trainer to laugh loudly.]]
Your technique is improving, Zahna! A few more sessions like this and even I, Alex Louis Armstrong, will stand no chance against you!
[[Harsh demeanor gone, the (obviously unhurt; Armstrong isn't aiming to injure) Garchomp pushes herself to her feet, looking at her trainer with wide, almost reverent eyes, nodding at everything he's saying. It's clear, however, that she doesn't quite believe she'll ever be able to beat him in battle.
Turning back to the camera, Armstrong moves to switch off the feed, but behind him Zahna sneaks forward, obviously seeing if a sneak attack will work. She leaps....!
....and is immediately intercepted and hurled over Armstrong's shoulder, landing off-screen with a rather firm thud.]]
Attacking a man from behind is not honourable, my dear!

[[IT'S TRUE....]]
It's a wonderful bonding exercise, too! Have you ever trained your Pokemon this way, Miss Saber?

Not like this. Sometimes I use a wooden sword known as a shinai. Well, identical to one at least. [ Bamboo is hard for her to come by. ] It is ineffective against fire Pokemon.
video;
I would imagine so! Training Fire-types has always been a rather interesting exercise; one I certainly keep my shirt on for!
[[He's sure you do the same somehow, Saber. It wouldn't do to have our glorious muscles burned by accident!]]
I believe you have mentioned your skill with swords in the past, my dear; it is my most humble wish that one day we can train alongside each other, and I can see your talents for myself! For now, why not try sparring one of your most trusted Pokemon?
[[O-OBVIOUSLY WITHIN REASON, YOU'RE....A TAD SMALLER THAN HIM....]]
video; wow I suck at being timely
Oh, you wish to train alongside me? [ Considering it, she gives a nod. ] If you ever find yourself near Celadon City, it would be my hope you seek me out.
As for sparring with one of my own... well, it does seem as though it would be a suitable substitute. I have two Garchomps I could use.
[ What's that about being small again?? ]
