FIFTH REBELLION ❅ VIDEO

[glaciates]

[The video feed opens to a set of eight Gym Badges. Look familiar? Isaac might have been copying Kimblee and Archer's recent video post.]

Four months.

[He doesn't appear on camera, instead keeping it focused on the badges.]

I guess that breaks your record, Kimblee.

[There might be a note of pride in his voice. Maybe. He doesn't usually sound all that proud, alright.]

So now what? I guess there are badges in Kanto but... what's the point? If what I've heard is right, defeating the Elite Four will send you home. But they're not open yet, right? So what's the point of getting the badges in Kanto?

[He doesn't sound upset, just confused.]

Also, has anyone taken that cruise? I got a ticket from the last Gym. I've never been on a boat.

[That last part is reflective, and Isaac cuts the feed abruptly. No, he hasn't gotten any better at this "social" thing, thanks for asking.]

You...got all eight badges in four months.

[Forgive Larry if he looks really bewildered and really skeptical.]

[video]

[glaciates]

Yeah, I did.

[It's quite alright, Larry! Isaac is made of dumb and social fail, so he won't even notice that!]

I had a bit of help with training from a... friend of mine, so I guess I didn't do it all on my own.

[Not to mention said friend dragged him all over the place, so Isaac managed to use Fly to get to Mahogany and Blackthorn! \o/]

Did you do nothing but train? 'cause seriously man, you gotta be some sort of superhuman trainer to pull that off!

[It took him way over four months to get a Pokemon even close to Clair's levels.

The bottom line here is, he's jelly.]

[video]

[glaciates]

...Isn't that what most people do?

[WHAT IS A LIFE, CAN YOU EAT IT]

[video]

[failures]

Uh...no.

[Congratulations on your life of training, man.]

Don't you ever y'know...stop to take in the sights and stuff?

[video]

[glaciates]

Yeah, sometimes. But that's usually while I'm training.

[...yeah that's not how you sightsee, Isaac...]

[video]

[failures]

That's...one way to do it, I guess. Oh well, I bet you can do plenty of that when traveling too.

[He sheepishly rubs the back of his neck.]

I gotta say I'm really impressed though. Sorry for being kinda skeptical at first. I guess some people are just built for the trainer thing.

[video]

[glaciates]

No, it's alright. I mean, I don't really have much of a life outside of training.

[THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT...]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[failures]

So what're you gonna do when you have all the badges? Or train all your Pokemon?

[He's genuinely curious here.]
