whateveryoueatliveitspart[The video comes on and immediately begins spinning around wildly, eventually coming to rest slightly crooked with a thin root visible in the corner of the image. The first clear thing that can be seen is Apollo, apparently having jumped down from somewhere, punching Cobra Commander in the face as part of his landing, after which this music starts to play.
(Click for the complete log of what can be seen.)
A Machoke joins Cobra's Skarmory next to him, a Fearow dives in and uses Heat Wave on the Skarmory, and a much larger than average Golurk pops out of a pokéball next to Cobra. The Skarmory is recalled after being hit by Heat Wave, Cobra releases a Scolipede and an Abomasnow, and a Sawsbuck, a Combee, and a Vespiquen enter from Apollo's side. Apollo himself goes after Cobra, only to be blocked by Cobra's Pawniard. The Pokémon battle in earnest, Fearow knocking out the Abomasnow with multiple Heat Waves but being downed by its final Blizzard and crashing somewhere behind the camera. If you pay close attention you'll see two blades of grass glow green and tie themselves into a knot in front of Cobra's foot.
The battle really takes off when Combee drops out of the sky in front of Cobra and regurgitates unfinished honey in Cobra's face, causing him to stagger forward and trip over the well-placed Grass Knot, faceplanting. Apollo darts around the Pawniard while it's occupied by Combee and Sawsbuck and goes after Cobra again. Cobra manages to trip him up but Apollo switches to running in on all-fours and punches him in the face again. The Scolipede is taken out by Vespiquen and Golurk hits the Machoke with a DynamicPunch, confusing it and causing it to punch itself in the face, then toss itself with Seismic Toss and knock itself out.
Cobra begins his attempts at retreating by calling back his Abomasnow and running for his Scolipede, only for Apollo to grab him by the backpack and for Grass Knot to trip him again. By sheer luck he manages to recover and call back his Scolipede, but Apollo just grabs him by the backpack again and he has the Pawniard cut it off, only for him to trip on yet another Grass Knot and faceplanting once he tries to run again. He recalls his Machoke just in time for his Pawniard to go down and brings out his Arbok, who scatters Apollo's team with Hyper Beam. Apollo resumes chasing him and manages to grab him by the feet. Golurk reaches down to try and pick Cobra up, but the Arbok distracts Golurk with a Gunk Shot and poisons it, giving Cobra a chance to escape Apollo's grip and run. Cobra recalls his Pawniard and sends out his Skarmory again, apparently planning on making his escape on it.
Fearow returns from behind the camera with a Heat Wave on the Arbok, joining Sawsbuck, Combee, and Vespiquen in knocking it out. Skarmory blocks the path with Spikes and Cobra makes a beeline for it, taking a brief intermission to, you guessed it, trip over another Grass Knot. He managed to cling to the Skarmory instead of faceplanting again, hanging on for dear life as he flies over his Arbok to recall it and then flies off like that. Apollo's fliers follow him for a bit and launch a few ineffective attacks at Skarmory while trying not to hit Cobra, but they don't do much and Cobra seats himself properly on Skarmory's back. And then Combee comes in with Sweet Scent and regurgitates the last of his proto-honey on Cobra's face before flying off. Then Apollo's entire team unloads on Skarmory and sends him into a tailspin with Cobra screaming and hanging on for dear life as they fly into the distance. Those with good hearing will hear a very faint crash in the distance.
As Apollo's team begins to regroup for healing and all level up at once, the camera shakes and a paw covers the lens. There's a glimpse of Apollo's Furret, the source of those Grass Knots that Cobra fell victim to, and then the feed ends.
Apollo: 1. Cobra: 0.
Responses will be ICly delayed until Apollo's finished making sure his team is healed up.]

Date: 2012-10-09 04:13 am (UTC)She does manage to shake off the shock after that moment, however. Whoever this guy is, he needs a warning and he needs it fast.]
He's going to come after you for that. You should probably get the hell out of there as soon as you can.
[Video forever on his end]
Date: 2012-10-09 04:28 am (UTC)When he appears, he's pressing a chewed-up mass of leaves to the cut on his forehead with one bruised hand. He's still pretty pissed.]
Fearow looked for where he crashed and he's gone. He'll probably need to heal up before he can do anything.
[Fear? What fear?]
[Audio forever on her end]
Date: 2012-10-09 05:00 am (UTC)Probably. But that doesn't mean it'll take him long. Don't give him a stationary target to hit.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-09 05:11 am (UTC)He's not going to sneak up on me, even if he ever stops being so loud, and we can beat him if he shows up again.
[There's no smugness here, there's just a statement of facts. And why wouldn't he have complete confidence? Cobra had three level 100s, all of which except Skarmory fainted, and Apollo maxed out at 58.]

Date: 2012-10-09 06:13 pm (UTC)That's if he decides to fight you. Dropping something that's using Self-Destruct on your head is his style, and there's no way to fight that.
[She's not questioning his capabilities for beating Cobra in a fight, considering what she just saw, but knowing what the Commander is capable of gives her perspective. She's just trying to pass on a warning.]

Date: 2012-10-09 06:59 pm (UTC)... Looks like all of you could use more training.
*....so helpful, Geddoe*

Date: 2012-10-09 07:06 pm (UTC)That sounds like something that bastard would do, making a Pokémon hurt itself to hurt someone else instead of doing the work himself.
[He's not too worried about himself since he's next to impossible to sneak up on, but think of the poor Pokémon!]
[Video]
Date: 2012-10-09 07:12 pm (UTC)[Give the kid a break, Geddoe. Cobra had three level 100s and Apollo maxed out at 58. I'd say he did pretty good.]
no subject
Date: 2012-10-09 07:25 pm (UTC)[Still no reason to take him lightly. If he comes after Apollo, or anyone else, and succeeds at taking them out? Think of the Pokemon then. With no one left to defend the ones that can't fight...it wouldn't end well.]
no subject
Date: 2012-10-09 07:32 pm (UTC)[It's obvious that that last part is what's annoying him the most.]
