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!

[[Hope you don't mind more of those single manly tears there man, they're kind of starting to flow a little]]
To think that such an injury has not dampened your enthusiasm for training, even at such a young age....you are an inspiration, my boy!
Although I do hope your Charizard didn't do it on purpose....
[video]
No, training has been all I've known since I was born, so to not train while here seems dumb. [Though being called an inspiration has him awkwardly scratching the back of his head, it does feel... nice. To be complimented.]
He might have, at the time. We finished a Gym battle and he wanted to keep fighting and I said no, so, we got into a tussle.
[video]
Ah, that is not very respectful behaviour on the part of your Pokemon! I do hope you two have managed to patch things up; you shouldn't have to fear that your Pokemon will hurt you like that, especially over something so petty.
[[Seriously, he wants to give your Charizard a damn good talking to :|]]

Fear is just part of the learning experience; if it happens, it's because I made a mistake.
