bestofthebest(Rainbow's face clicks on the 'Gear, a forced smile on the former Pegasus pony's face; she holds up her 6 -count 'em, 6- badges while the screen pans back to show a Milotic behind her.)
...So, turns out Twilight was right about not much in Azalea Town to begin with which is why it was a breeze getting through the Gym there and finally getting to face Falkner? He's got some crazy awesome tips when it comes to Flying Pokémon, but he was kinda stuck on Pidgeot, Noctowl, Swellow, Staraptor and Unfezant the whole time, which'll help me out a lot when I get around to finding a few more Flying types to complete what I call...The WONDERBOLT team!
Oh? The Milotic behind me? (She calls out, and Rainbow quickly pets the Pokémon before going on.) Used to belong to one of my best friends, and she finally evolved a while back! Didn't think she'd ever evolve, but she always said to make her scales look pretty...
(Anything else Rainbow was gonna say? Interrupted by two sudden events: a sudden BubbleBeam attack that left her pretty wet from her head to her neck, and most definitely her hair, and a Starly landing nearby. Rainbow's true boredom finally shows through at this point.)
...Hey! Pinkie Pie, this isn't the time for playing games! I'm letting Pinkie Pie figure out her strategy for the Gyms before we pack up, get Rarity and Spike and meet up with Twilight.
Corsola, corsola! Corsola~!
A wha-Starly? Wait a second! This could be my chance...! (She's not bored anymore. Rainbow's Milotic and Corsola vanish within seconds as both are recalled while she goes to toss another Pokeball, and a heartbeat later a Gligar -one of Rainbow's newer Pokemon, but this is his first battle- clamps down onto her head as the screen clicks off.)

... Wonderbolt team? Is that a sport? Asks Ruskin.

Date: 2013-08-22 12:22 pm (UTC)Did the gym battle go swimmingly? Or was it a real dampener?
...We should call you Rainbow Splash.
[He loses it, falling over and laughing.]

Date: 2013-08-22 03:19 pm (UTC)(Another trainer? In Rainbow's case, a Meganium is still holding her Pokègear while she blinks in confusion before answering with a big grin.)
Ha, no way! Back home the Wonderbolts are the best, the fastest flyers EVER and it's my dream to be part of their group.

Date: 2013-08-22 03:22 pm (UTC)It went swimmingly, or didn't you see my awesome badges?

Date: 2013-08-22 08:49 pm (UTC)[He chuckles. Riku doesn't know the context, but he can't resist a light tease.
And when the bubbles splatter all over rainbow, Riku bursts into even louder laughter.]
Guess pranks aren't limited to ghost types, either. Maybe you oughta humor her a little.
[After all, sometimes pranks are a cry for attention.]

Date: 2013-08-22 10:30 pm (UTC)(She sighs while wiping any excess water from her face. She can take teasing from her friends, as evidenced by her grin.)
She's just being playful like her namesake. Don't forget Zorua and Zoroark.

Date: 2013-08-23 01:17 am (UTC)[Taking on his form and prancing around like a princess just to embarrass him? Yeah, not one of his finest moments.]
So, these Wonderbolts are a flying team, huh? So what do they do? Air tricks?
(Video)
Date: 2013-08-23 02:19 am (UTC)Seriously, great work on getting another badge (not that I'm surprised), and your pokemon evolved too! That's awesome!
Has Pinkie thrown you a party yet?
[He examines the pokeball in her hand]
What did you catch?
video
Date: 2013-08-23 03:12 am (UTC)(Sure she brought 'em u first, but someone asked about the Wonderbolts! Notice Rainbow's expression brighten up.)
More than just air tricks! If they're needed to judge special events, or if somepony's in trouble they'll be there. They're the best of the best, and are totally loyal to the Princess.

I don't think anything could stop Pinkie from throwing a party. I caught a Starly!
video
Date: 2013-08-23 03:45 am (UTC)So they're not just performers, but also part-time heroes? Huh, that's not too shabby. And I take it they're a pretty huge deal where you're from.
(Video)
Date: 2013-08-23 03:45 am (UTC)Because that would have been pretty cool to see! Did you video the battle?
[If Rainbow Dash can't tell, Spike's a little bored in Goldenrod.]
Rarity has been really busy with her mobile boutique.
When are you guys coming back? Maybe Pinkie can throw a welcome back party haha!

Date: 2013-08-23 06:08 am (UTC)Hahaha, no way! I had a totally different idea for each of my Gym battles, and Scales didn't figure into my plans for either one. Maybe I'll use her for Mahogany when we get there...
(That's why she brought up Milotic to begin with; she's getting bored waiting for Pinkie to take on the Gyms.)
Soon Spike, I promise. And we might not stick around too long when we get back to Goldenrod; Twilight's gotta be freaking out not knowing if we're all okay or not after so long.

Date: 2013-08-24 06:09 am (UTC)[In a way, he's reminded of his own confident air, not to mention his own focus on goals. Heh.]
Don't know if it means much, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

Date: 2013-08-24 06:28 am (UTC)(It means a lot to Rainbow, to know even her non-pony friends believe in her!)
Of course! Thanks, Riku.

Date: 2013-08-24 02:31 pm (UTC)[Seriously, Rainbow, how did it take you this long to start creating a Wonderbolt-themed team?]
So I'm guessing you and Falkner got along well?
