9 - [Video] / Action for Violet

[Oh? What's this? It's a robot-turned-human, exiting the doors of the Violet City Gym. He looks exceedingly proud of himself. He even has a little spring in his usual limp.]

[... those of you who heard his plan to 'punch Faulkner until he gives up the badge' may feel a little bit of concern right now. Especially when he flashes something at the camera.]

[Ironhide just grins.]

Time to move on, looks like. Where to next?

[Without waiting for an answer, he kills the feed. Somebody's feeling decidedly exuberant today.]

((ooc: Mod-approved! \o/))

[Lottie cheers]

Congratulations! How bad didja beat 'em?

Hah. Badly. He was leaking by the end of it.

[Ironhide's exaggerating. Honestly.]

Oh, y'didn't make those poor birds bleed, didja?

[He blinks.]

... Oh. No. That was a joke. Sort of.

Don' joke 'bout makin' people, 'specially not when you're as big as y'are. People might take ya seriously.

[But she's smiling]

So that means y'off t'the next town soon, right?

Hmnf. Told Cliffjumper I was going to fight the gym leader myself. Just keeping up appearances.

[He looks at the badge and shrugs. Meanwhile, a certain Lairon starts edging toward his trainer from behind, eyes on the shiny badge.]

Looks that way.

Ooh, y'know Cliff?

[Lottie's eyes light up and her mons start watching the Lairon]

Yeah. We travel together. We are the same race. Same side.

[Egg keeps shifting closer, like a big dog watching its master wave around a piece of bacon. Eventually, he sits right at Ironhide's side, staring at the badge.]

Huh. Nevah woulda guessed.

[And, knowing Lottie, she probably wouldn't have. Her mons are still watching the Lairon.]

Then again, think he mentioned not bein' from Earth once...

Really?

[Egg sort of sits up, waving a stubby little leg at the badge. Feed me!]

Yeah, he would be from Cybertron, too.

So're all th'fellas from whereavah as big as y'all two?

[Poor Egg. Lottie's party is just watching.]

None of us are human. I would not know.

[Egg huffs, then hunkers back down, watching her party right back. What're you guys looking at?]

Oh. Right. Well, are y'all big when y'ain't human?

[Cordon then promptly flies into Ironhide's face, hoping to make him drop the badge. Lottie starts trying to grab him but...]

Cordon! Cordon, get down! Ooh, don' make me use Ember!

Yeah. We are. Twenty-five feet... Not sure about Ciffjumper.

[Egg gets excited at that, heaving himself back up to his feet, watching this excitedly.]

[Ironhide steps back, lifting both hands to automatically cover his face.]

Your bird needs more training!

[Cordon swoops and grabs the badge, dropping it in front of Egg]

I know, I know, I swear, he ain't this bad norm'lly.

[She grabs his ball and calls him back]

I hate usin' those things, but I swear. That bird's gonna be th'death o'me.

[Egg looks triumphant, and starts chewing on it.]

... And my badge.

[Lottie winces]

Think it might take a good bit'a chewin' f'r that critter t'do any harm t'the badge...

[HOW CAN SHE FIX THIS?!]

Not this one. He ate metal when he was smaller.

[Ironhide regards Egg for a moment before sighing. And... stripping his coat off. Don't worry, there is a shirt underneath, albeit a sleeveless one -- but the coat is one of those long, trenchcoat type deals. It'd just get in the way.]

Hold this.

[Oh, well, isn't Ironhide fit---and whoa, hello giant, heavy trenchcoat. Lottie takes it, though Evangeline and Jules have to get the tails]

Whatcha gonna do?

[If by 'fit', you mean 'built like a brick house covered in crazy scarring', then yes. He looks over at her, and shrugs.]

Getting my badge back.

[Which is precisely when the big Autobot... starts to wrestle his 260 pound Lairon.]

[Lottie just gawks]

Wouldn' gettin' him in th'Pokéball work fastah?

[What is she even watching]

Hn!

Maybe!

[But now he's got Egg in... a pseudo-headlock and is shoving at him, trying to knock him over. Egg is shoving back. And winning.]

I don' think this is workin', Ironhide!

[Lottie is scooting back now.]

He -- just being stubborn!

[At least Egg's attention is off the badge now... Even if he won't budge.]

[Lottie shakes her head, stunned. People are staring, now]
