MISSION 008 [VIDEO/ACTION FOR JUST OUTSIDE GOLDENROD CITY]
[The feed opens to the sight of a rather frazzled-looking Alex Louis Armstrong, who is in the middle of placing his Gear down on a flat surface. He’s shirtless, squatting down in front of the camera with a bemused expression on his face.]
Greetings, my friends! I was wondering if any of you had advice for dealing with a Pokemon who doesn’t really-
[Suddenly, Armstrong rises quickly, twists, and opens his arms, just in time to take a rather furious charge from a rather furious Mamoswine. Digging his feet into the earth, Armstrong fights to keep the Pokemon from trampling him, managing to stay standing and refusing to budge. Grunting and growling, the two struggle for a minute before the beast backs off, galloping away to prepare for another attempt.
Wiping sweat from his brow, Armstrong places his hands on his hips and turns back to the camera, exasperated.]
-doesn’t...really seem to like you all that much. I raised my dear Seldi from an egg, but she’s never taken to me.
[In the background, Seldi is scraping a foot against the ground, kicking up a small cloud of dust as she prepares to charge once more. Armstrong’s frown deepens; he doesn’t appear scared, just frustrated.]
I must admit that I am at a loss at what to do. Nothing seems to help! So, if any of you have been in this situation before and have any advice, it would be most appreciated-!!!
[The next charge is far faster than the last and far more aggressive, the Mamoswine roaring angrily as she pounds towards her trainer, who grimaces and prepares to intercept her, fists flexing. Again, she slams her tusks into him, but even with all her force he manages to stop her cold, dirt piling up around his boots as he forcefully digs his feet into the ground, sweat pouring down his back as he fights to stay up, teeth clenched and (exceptionally beautiful) muscles straining.
For a moment it looks like she might have overwhelmed him, as Armstrong drops to one knee, but it’s all part of his plan; suddenly unbalanced by the lack of force from one side, Seldi stumbles, allowing her trainer to hurl her sideways onto the ground. Once she’s down, he collapses onto hands and knees for a moment, panting, before straightening up and returning his eyes to the camera.]
Thank you very much for listening.

Your advice is appreciated, my dear; perhaps it is necessary for me to....ah, 'harden up', as they say.
[....yeah it's not happening]
I'm sure it can't be that hard if I think of it as being for her own good!
[it's definitely not happening]
[Video]
[As you can imagine, that's said as enthusiastically as possible.]
Anyway, my name's Jeane; so if you could cut it out with the "my dear" crap that'd be great. Thanks.
