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!

[Actually, from the expression, Isaac seems quite impressed!]
I was beginning to think no one else here actually trained against their Pokemon.
[...Or trained at all. He hasn't found any sparring partners that aren't his Pokemon, and even they have difficulty keeping up after awhile!]
[VIDEO]
[[He hasn't seen you in a while! Quite good to know you're well, quite good.]]
I take it I'm not alone, then? I should've known a fellow soldier wouldn't take the soft route.

[VIDEO]
[But he doesn't sound upset by that! It's just a gentle reminder.]
It's important to keep up with your training, regardless of your location though. It would be good to have an actual human sparring partner though.
[VIDEO]
It would indeed! I've been trying to convince my travelling partner to join me in my training, but he is proving to be most stubborn. I believe he fears my technique could overwhelm him...
[[Which is a completely valid fear, but details.....]]
I take it you're struggling to find a partner yourself?
[[Y'KNOW, THERE'S A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS....]]
[VIDEO]
[If you're taking out dragons... But Isaac's masochistic, so!]
Yeah, I am. There aren't a ton of people around Mahogany Town or the Ice Path to begin with, much less people who would actually want to spar.
[Kimblee, honey, c'mon he wants to fight you. >: ]
Where are you now?
[LET'S DO THIS THING]

[[and
FLEX]]
At present I am located in Violet City with my traveling party; where are you, Mr Isaac?
