jikogisei[The video feature flicks on but it's completely black and is silent for a minute. Perhaps it was done on accident. But wait, no, that's not the case. There's a man's voice, unidentifiable except to those who know him. Either way, he sounds unamused.]
A world where you collect animals and let them do the fighting for you. Seems cruel. Or perhaps you just don't see it that way. Using creatures to collect ridiculous badges. What good will it do you when you leave this place? If you leave this world.
[Itachi pauses, silence fills the moment.]
How many of you still continue your own physical training as you level up your creatures? Would you be capable of taking down your enemy without the aide of your Pokemon? Would you be satisfied if you couldn't? [Yes, Sasuke. Those last two questions were specifically aimed towards you.]
It also appears that the dead walk among us. [Does he know about the other shinobi or simply referring to himself -- hard to tell. Some might not even recognize him by voice alone. So finally he shifts it around to reveal his face. Itachi doesn't have the hitae-ai sitting upon his forehead like usual and his surroundings are hard to pinpoint. The maroon cloak he's wearing doesn't help as it covers the rest of his clothes.]
[He sighs as if this is all a big bother or an annoyance.] I suppose it's only polite to introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Itachi.

I train myself, and the Pokémon who are with me train themselves. They're trying to get stronger and I'm trying to get back to being able to do all of the things that I could before I came here. I can beat most Pokémon on my own if I have to, but I try not to need to.

What sort of training do you do with them?

Date: 2013-04-25 02:03 am (UTC)Mostly they find other Pokémon to fight with on their own, but sometimes I'll race with them or throw rocks for them to try and hit. I've been racing with Golurk a lot lately so that it can be faster, and I've been trying to figure out ways for it to attack or change direction faster when it's flying.

Date: 2013-04-26 01:46 pm (UTC)Yeah, most of the Pokémon who are with me are pretty fast, and they often like to do fast things.

Date: 2013-04-26 08:28 pm (UTC)Of course I do. I know who to have face different opponents in a gym battle from their types and their strengths and weaknesses. But I trust them to be able to handle themselves while they're fighting.
