[Video; Action for Celadon City]

[Today was the day. Shirou was going to the gym to challenge Erika after seeing Saber do the same a few days ago. He let Saber, Sakura, and Irisviel know before he left, so they could accompany him if they so pleased.

It didn't take long to have an audience with Erika. Seems the man could appreciate a gentle perfume. But once the battle started and Shirou sent out his Skarmory, he slipped into a zone. He was in this to win, and the music showed.

Shirou commanded his Skarmory excellently. He had spikes scattered all over the battlefield, maxed out its Speed, cycled through three different slashing moves based on the situation, and any time it took too much damage, had it roost and heal itself. Between the type advantage, Shirou's knowledge of a Skarmory's abilities, and the Skarmory's defense, he managed to win without losing a single Pokémon. But the fight itself was still plenty exciting.

But then, when the battle was over and Shirou had claimed his badge...]

Shirou!

Oh, Shirou!

[He was lost within a gaggle of girls.]

That was amazing! So skilled, and yet so elegant!

You MUST tell us how to be that good!

Please, please stay here and teach us!

Uh, I-I...I'm not so sure...! Hey! Come on!

[That last bit was directed at Erika, who responded...]

I must say, that would be delightful.

...Help...?

Oh, no...

[Video responses will come after he escapes the crowd of girls.]
