_{[It's been months since the last time Heather set foot in the Violet City Gym. And the last time she did? ... Well, the results were a little embarrassing to say the least.]

[This time around, there's no cocky speech from Heather beforehand, no smug, smirky assurances to whatever audience she might have on the network that she'll be winning. She doesn't even film the arched brow and 'Welcome back' that Falkner gives her upon sight, clearly remembering the epic, flaming disaster that was her first challenge.]

[Instead? When the camera comes on, there's only the briefest of shots of her face-- she flicks one hand in a hasty wave and flashes a grin-- before the camera is handed down to someone very short (and blue) and turned towards the arena. ]

[MULTIPLE ANGLES HOLY WOW. The camera-Totodile (who was instructed firmly not to eat the PokeGear) is airborne thanks to Honey the Butterfree, and the battle begins in 3... 2... 1...]}

_{[The last shot-- as Heather bends down after the battle to retrieve her 'Gear from the Totodile, is of the Zephyr Badge pinched between her thumb and forefinger.]}

~*~

_{[ooc: Heather likely informed any friends who told her they'd watch her battle (whether in person or over the network) when she would be challenging Falkner, so feel free to assume they stopped by! Replies and interactions obviously will be made after the battle's over.]}

_{[As if being stuck in a CAVE wasn't bad enough, there were underground LAKES in there too? Joy.]}

... Wow. So... uh... neither of you have a Pokemon that'd be capable of busting outta there, huh?

[Dash does not like caves anymore. :c

She shrugs.] I thought I could get Roc or Gilda to pinpoint where the wind was coming from and head in that direction, but... it's like there's no wind to pinpoint!

... And it's not like Jack's stupid Magikarp is any help. [Dash, don't be hatin' on Dennis. HE IS A BEAST NOW.]

_{[... THAT STUPID MAGIKARP USED TO BE HEATHER'S STUPID MAGIKARP. Which would be why she GAVE IT AWAY. To Jack.]

[She decides not to mention this.]}

Jeez...

Isn't there anyone you can like... CALL?

To be like "HEY WE'RE STUCK IN A CAVE COME HELP US"?

_{[LIKE THE POLICE? ... EXCEPT HEATHER WAS PRETTY SURE THEY WOULDN'T DO JACK DIDDLY?]}

[HEATHER YOU ARE A BAD PERSON AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD.

Dash scowls and brings her hands up, gesturing emphatically at the 'gear.] If there is, how'm I even supposed to know how to call them? It's not like Mom gave me a number for this or anything!

[A pause.] Even though that... y'know, would have been actually helpful!

_{[SHE DIDN'T WANT IT, SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT.]}

... Yeah. It would've.

_{[THIS WORLD IS STUPID.]}
