♕ TENTH COMMAND | VIDEO
[The video opens to two badge cases, each with all eight Johto Gym Badges arranged neatly. The camera turns to focus on Archer then; he's smirking even more than usual, if that's even possible.]
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the previous record for earning all the Gym Badges was eleven months?
[It's not really a question. He remembers exactly what Mustang said.]
Kimblee and I have done it in eight.
[He'll give you all a moment to absorb that knowledge. Yes, yes, they're amazing, he knows~]
We're both seeking challenges from others who have gathered the Gym Badges. We both have teams at level 100, though we also have lowered-leveled Pokémon, if you're interested in challenging either of us. We would be interested in double battling as well, if any of you are interested.
[...Well, he would, at least. Sorry, Kimblee, you have no choice~]
We look forward to it.
[OOC: This is a double post! You'll receive replies from either Kimblee or Archer!]

...yeah, he sincerely hopes it's a person, because otherwise his body is not ready for that implied Pokéception.]
I believe it. I think you'll understand why I'm going to hold off on taking you up on this battling request of yours for quite some time.
no subject
Of course, I understand that completely. I do look forward to battling you some day, Zulf.
[At least he's not calling you by his dead best friend's name anymore? orz]
no subject
...
Well, that may have just given Zulf the worst idea in Johto history...]
Good. I want to provide a challenge for you.
[...goodness lawd, was that a competitive streak? He hasn't really displayed that in a while.]
no subject
Ah, do you now? I would hate to be disappointed.
[There's something odd in Archer's tone there; it's mocking, yes, but it's far more gentle than it would have been with... well, anyone else. He's not sure what to do with that, so he simply presses on.]
I thought you weren't interested in training your Pokémon?
no subject
:| ]
I said that I'm not interested in using them as weapons. Some of them, however...
[He glances at something off-camera for a moment; he seems to have found his way into Ilex Forest eventually, with all the "Oh...dear..." that that brings with it, but he doesn't seem too bothered, at least. Just sort of linefacey.]
They seem to enjoy the conflict.
no subject
They all have unique personalities. It's not surprising that there are those who live for conflict, especially in a world that promotes such things.
[He has his fair share of bloodthirsty murderbeasts, after all.]
Have you obtained any new ones since we last spoke?
no subject
From the sound of it, you have many of them?
no subject
Ah, have you enjoyed taking care of the eggs? The breeding center does have an excellent selection; I've purchased several from them as well.
Yes, I have quite a few I'm raising. It's best to have a wide variety of types so we can overcome any challenge.
no subject
...yes, I've enjoyed it.
[...........]
Do you speak to everyone this way?
no subject
What are you talking about?
no subject
You talk down quite a bit; you oversimplify, as though I'm a child that won't understand.
no subject
I do? Ah, I apologize then, I certainly didn't mean to.
[...No really, he wasn't aware he was doing that at all... orz]
no subject
But in all seriousness - Zulf has always believed in saying exactly what he means, and it's extremely rare that he doesn't; it's a decent skill to have when his job involves so much communication, although he does admit that it can be a bit of a hindrance sometimes.]
I'm not offended, Archer; it takes a lot to do that.
no subject
Yes, well. Again, my apologies. I don't normally talk down to people.
[...Well, people he likes at any rate. But he's a tsunball and can't say that. :| ]
no subject
[And he does! Calm down, you.
...do you want a subject change, you tend to like subject changes]
I'm guessing this other person you were talking about in the video is a friend of yours?
no subject
Ah, yes, he is. Kimblee and I have been in Johto for eight months; we've become quite close over that time.
no subject
I was recently able to meet someone I befriended here recently; it was nice to see him in person. And I'll soon be in this "Goldenrod City" that you told me about, if the maps are anything to judge by; perhaps I'll see you there, if you're ever in town.
no subject
[And he does mean that!]
You're in... Ilex Forest, correct?
[Ugh, that place... He's so glad he never has to set foot in there again.]
...I am so sorry about this
because I think someone said Ilex Forest
holy shit that may have gotten him to stop what he's doing across the room for a couple of seconds, just let him look over from the bed where he's been playing with that fluffball of a Flareon]
Well, we could always go out there to meet him, you know...
NEVER APOLOGIZE this is flawless
We are not going back to that forest. You'll never leave.
[You like that place more than the ice caves, don't you...!]
no subject
[C'monnnnnnn, Archer...]
no subject
Oh alright fine, we'll go back to Ilex Forest. Are you satisfied?
[The things he does for you...]
1/2
Appreciated, Archer.
2/2
he's
not positive as to what he just witnessed but sure]
...you don't have to, you know, if it's an inconvenience.
no subject
[Oh sorry, what was that, Zulf?]
Oh no, don't worry about it. We're in Goldenrod as it is, it won't take us long. My... companion is quite fond of the area.
[You just witnessed how whipped Archer is, no big deal!]
