15th Lullaby ♫ - Action for Violet || Video

[the_whitequeen]

[ Lacus's smile today was not as it usually was. Her smile today was a little forced, but determined. Liana was in her arms ... with Altaria not too far behind her. ]

Hello, everyone. I wanted to record this because I thought it would be nice to receive critique for my battling skills. I have a battle at the gym soon and I feel will still need advice.



[ Unlike most of Lacus's posts to the network --- this one as actually planned. Mister Pink was holding the camera again, while Liana the Mawile was with Lacus. She had a very serious and strict look on her face.

When the camera moves again, you will see that they were both facing a large Altaria and he looked just as serious as well. ]

Liana, remember. This isn't practice anymore ...

If you hesitate, I know you're friends ... but ... Altaria will hurt you.

[ Liana responded with a nod and the battle begins. Lacus was acting and doing her best to be the best trainer she could be, doing her best to keep a poker face. But if you look close enough at her hands, you can see that they are shaking. She clenched her hands into a fist when Liana was pushed back and almost fell on her head.

In her heart, she still didn't want to fight. But she knew she had to do what she must. ]

Wait for the right moment, Liana! Then, use Bite!

[Shiraishi was on a break from work when he noticed Lacus. She didn't look like her normal-self today, which was rather worrying. Was battling really that hard on her?

For now he'll just watch what's happening before saying anything, remaining a little further from the place where she and her Pokémon were.]

[Athrun had long ago learned how to read Lacus's emotions. Thus, he picked up on the details.]

Lacus...you're forcing yourself, aren't you?

You're doing a fine job, Clyne-san. I wouldn't worry.

[Lightning watches that battle with a deep frown on her face; the Pokemon are well trained, but their trainer....why does it feel like she's watching Hope all over again?]

Don't bother trying that again until you can ignore your feelings about it. Feeling sympathy in a battle is only going to weigh you down and cause you to make mistakes.

[There's only the voice of a young man over the gear. He'd display the video if he wasn't currently in the middle of cooking a large meal for his pokemon. Their eager cries could be heard in the background. He hadn't noticed her shaking much. She just seemed really tense to him.]

Y'know, if you relax your pokemon are going to relax too. They notice when you hesitate or when you want to jump in there to help them.

...Y'know, you're not really suited for battling.

[Blunt. But he's seen that look before on a different face. It's true that they never interacted much before this place back home considering their sides during the 2nd Bloody Valentine War, but even an idiot can notice that she's uncomfortable with it.]

... you know, Lacus-san... Maybe you should consider switching careers to a breeder.

Hey, Lacus. Don't force yourself.

You don't like fighting, do you? You don't have to do it if you don't want to!

[...that was painful to watch, in the Mitsuki gets worried about her friends way.

Approaching slowly once the battle is over.]

I once told Rio that he feels pain because he's frustrated at not being able to fulfill his hopes. And that if he really wants something, he needs to put that much of his soul into getting what he wants, or he won't get it.

I also told him to just bear with it that time, but I was also there to be there for him, so he didn't need to go through it alone.

[...a pause.]

But that only works if it's for something that they believe in, because belief and bravery are needed in order to be who you want to be.

Ahh so, I'm all for supporting your way to the top if you really, really really want to continue on that road, but if you'd rather do something else - I'll support you to the top on that road too.

[...one of those situations where she obviously has too much to say?]

[There's one little cotton bird (namely a Swablu) running around like a lost child and then it runs straight to where Lacus is with her pokemon!]
