ten (text/action) ♊ this is the dance of the pokémon advance!

[Early on the morn of the seventeenth, this anonymous text message appears on the Network:]

PFC. Since I haven't heard anything about stopping the meeting in light of that rampage at the Department Store, it'll still be happening. Just be ready to move somewhere else if they tell us to; I'd say Route 35 would be a good place. So yeah, if you like Pokémon battling, come on up to the top of Goldenrod Depot in a few hours.

[And a few hours later, lurking on the rooftop of one Goldenrod Department Store is a kid with stupid glasses who seems more interested in his Pokégear than anything else. But that's really because people haven't showed up yet!! There's not a lot to suggest that there is even a thing still happening here, to be honest, no banners or anything. He... didn't really put in much effort to get snacks or anything, because there are vending machines right over there, and all the money people win can totally be used for food! ...And for the people who lose, they should have brought more money.]

[There's gonna be two subthreads below: mingling and battling. If two characters meet and want to duke it out, one of them should make a new thread under the battling comment, just to keep it neat.]

A Mamoswine. He made it past that trainer's Kabutops and Volcarona before he went down, so I'd argue he still put up one heck of a fight.

Plus, that match dragged on forever. My Scizor against his Mamoswine, both healing, hail storms on and off... It really could've gone either way.

[He doesn't consider a loss as a sign of poor training. Even the elites have to lose sometimes.]

Ah. Yeah, if there's one Pokemon that's almost tailor-made to defeat Dragon-types in general, it's Mamoswine. I'd have one myself, but I make it a policy to avoid having the same types of Pokemon as my friends, as much as I can.

Was that the last match, then? Scizor versus Mamoswine?
islandshore: (listen)

I have one, but he's still in training. Granted, Mamoswines still have to worry about fire, fighting, steel, and a whole slew of other moves.

[But as for Twilight's question, he nods.]

That was the final match up before I finally went down. Still made it to the finals of the Standard cup and took home the Advanced cup, so it wasn't all bad. The Elite cup was the most bloated of the bunch, anyway.
