[Today, there's some prerecorded footage from Gundam's gear. It seems to consists of his Pokemon: most notably Dedenne, Emolga, and Pikachu squaring off against Misty's team. It's pretty much your average Pokemon battle, but once it's over, Gundam decides to talk about well, pretty much as only he can.]

Today is a momentous occasion! For today marks the day that my menagerie of terror vanquished my newest foe by calling down the elements themselves from the heavens!

[He won a badge with electric attacks.]

Though truly it was only a minor test of their abilities.

[He had a type advantage, so it wasn't like Brock where it took a while to get past him.]

But it leads me to wonder if this is a portent of things to come. If the other Proving Ground of Trials I may meet in the future are all incapable of providing a proper challenge, then I must truly wonder what they have to offer!

[He means Gyms and he's wondering if the other ones are going to be this easy.]

Then again for a fiend such as I, I suppose their failings are to be expected.

[Because he is Gundam Tanaka, etc., etc.]

{OOC: Badge was mod approved!}

[ .............even though she's...she's probably somewhere in the vicinity? unless nanami's finishing up at her part time job and has yet to circle back to the hotel or wherever.

it works out. ]

Congratulations, Tanaka-kun...I knew you all could do it. Should we get ice cream for tonight to celebrate?

To think that the accomplishments of one such as I, one who has transcended the constraints of mere humanity itself, could be celebrated with such a common dessert.

[Not that he's saying no. He's just...amused by it. Also that he has friends that are like HEY LET'S GO GET ICE CREAM.]

Very well. I shall meet you at the appointed time at a location most appropriate for such a gathering!

[In other words, whenever and wherever's cool with him.]

Congratulations, Tanaka-san! So it wasn't very hard, then?

[He's planning on challenging a gym soon himself, so he's curious.]

It poses no threat to one who has mastered the ancient thunder magic.

[So no? Bring some electric types to this one and you'll be fine, Chihiro.]

[Oh Gundam...]

I see. I will remember that! From what I saw, it looked like you didn't have much trouble with that battle at all. I don't have very many Electric types myself, but I probably won't get to that gym any time soon.

[ He's in pretty high spirits...Nanami thinks. She can't always be certain, with Gundam. Hinata was better at understanding him perfectly... ]

Then, how about after I get off work and after dinner? I think there's a pretty good ice cream shop in town, so we can just go to that.

A wise decision. To rush in without the proper preparations or offerings would be disastrous.

[No, that's right. He's definitely in high spirits. Just...ignore his embarrassment at the whole friends thing.]

That should be fine.

[ She's more or less used to most of the class being Weird about that word by now... ]

I'll see you then for sure, Tanaka-kun. By the way...would you be okay with heading over to Johto again for a little while?

Yes. I suppose I would be willing to endure the perilous journey to that far off land once more.

[...he isn't quite sure what you mean by offerings, but he'll just go with it.]

Which badge are you going to try to get next, Tanaka-san?

Woooo! You conquer those gyms and win those badges! And then, you can offer them up to the heavens on the field of victory when you've obtained the complete set!

I believe the next one is against the possessor of the vermillion thunder.

[Lt. Surge. Who's the Electric-Type Gym Leader. In Vermillion City. Because apparently they have to do these things in order according to Nanami.]

I may indeed do just that.

[Thanks for the suggestion, Cynthia! He can offer up his badges and maybe the forces that govern this world will return his hamsters.]

Such an offering would be almost guaranteed to get the attention of something. That much is certain.

[..he doesn't know that it's basically you get the badges and then life goes on. Or he does but since he's GUNDAM TANAKA (the caps are important), he assumes it works differently for him.]

In that case...I figured we could fly to Saffron and take the train. Kirigiri-senpai invited me to make chocolates, and you can come along, too.

[ kirgiri knows they're travelling together, anyway... ]

Oh, alright! I'm sure you'll have no problem getting that one, too.

Very well then. We shall set forth on this new adventure together.

[Because he likes being invited to things.]

I too expect little difficulty.

[Actually, he's kind of worried since he has like, no type advantages at all going into that one. This could be a problem.]

Electric type...so that means you will need to bring things like ground types. Do you have several of those?

I possess a number of creatures whose very presence causes the mere earth to quake in terror!

[...but none of them are ground types.]

[And here's Chihiro assuming incorrectly.]

Oh, that's good, then! I actually don't think I have any ground types, yet, other than Horu...what species of Pokemon are they?

To name them all would take incredible amounts of time and risk drawing the attention of things better left unaware.

[He's not naming his whole roster because let's be honest here, it'd totally be his whole roster.]

[He laughs a little at that.]

Okay...I can understand that. I believe you, though.

A wise decision. To doubt me would surely invite tragedy untold.

I'd sure hope so! I mean, you've gotta put in some serious effort to get those things!

...

Man, I should really get back to collecting mine...

And how many of these emblems of valor do you possess?

Um. One...?

...

I've been busy!

[ He gets a small smile. ]

All right. We can leave tomorrowish, then...we should be allowed to go by now.

[ She refers to the "stay in town for x amount of time if you take a part-time job" rule. ]

One is an admirable start.

[Since he only has two.]

However, you must completely dedicate yourself to this goal if you plan to make your offering before I do.

[He may have just challenged Cynthia to a race.]

Very well then, we shall leave after today is vanquished like so many others.

...you know, that's true! I've really gotta get my head in the game if I want to leave you in the dust!

[...IT WAS SO EASY TO GET HER TO ACCEPT...]

You would dare?!

[...oh wait, she was joking, right? He's got this.]

We shall see who leaves who in the dust, but such a fate will not befall someone such as Gundam Tanaka!
