09 | Video; Action for Violet | Silly thoughts
[ Judging by the slight bob of the camera and the occasional glimpse of a building, Talim is walking as she's recording. She's making her way from the gym to the Pokémon Center. Talim smiles, holding something up for the camera to see.
It's not there for long, though, and she gives a little laugh, tucking the badge away. ]
I made Kalana promise not to record my battle with Falkner, but as you can see it ended in my favor. Syi Salika did most of the work.
[ From offscreen somewhere, there's an amused: ]
It must be difficult, being a gym leader. Especially when people take up the Gym Challenge late in their stay, like I did. My team is already creeping their way to level ninety. I have to wonder sometimes if, when they act outraged at losing, it's just an act. Surely it has to be. I can't imagine them leading happy lives if they truly take each loss that badly.
[ Whitney especially, but she won't say as much. She does look thoughtful for a moment, though ]
I think, if this were truly my home- if I had been born and raised here- I might entertain the thought of becoming a gym leader.
But that's a silly thought, right?

Scyyyther!

Scyther? Scy.
Anyway, I'll be heading back to Goldenrod soon. If anybody would like to take the shortcut, you're welcome to join me.

Losing is part of the job, on some level. Gym leaders must present a certain amount of challenge, yes, but they can't be impossible to beat or no one would get anywhere.

Guess you've got a point. Still, wish it was easier to find tough trainers. I've only lost one battle over the past year because my team's so overpowered.
video
Goodness. What level are they at?
video
Level 100, except three that are in the 90's.
video
Wow. It's no small wonder you don't lose much.

Insert fangirlish rant. Oh, Blade.]
I train pretty hard, but pretty soon I won't have anything to train. Should only be a few weeks before my last three are maxed out.
video
Mm. What happens after that, I wonder?

[As is, he has to swap them around a lot to make sure they're all in good shape.]

Perhaps you could help others train their pokémon? It seems to me you're more than qualified.

[Interesting prospect, this is.]
