You give me so much but it's never enough

[VIDEO]

[Well, at the very least Reaver has been out attempting to train properly today - although at this point, he's doing it simply because the boredom is outweighing his dislike of the snow. On the plus side, this means he's far less likely to beat the crap out of his Pokémon in the name of discipline and/or just wanting to beat the crap out of things; on the negative, he's getting a bit...ah. Experimental.

And this would be why the video today is coming from some route...somewhere; it's a bit hard to tell due to the lack of discernible landmarks behind him as he settles, trying to find some sort of comfortable position as he begins - oh, is that the lighthouse back there? Somewhere outside of Olivine, then, though it isn't exactly clear where - clearly, he's found a hill or something to film on top of, as the vantage point is a bit...high up, from the looks.

However! He's looking self-satisfied with himself today, as always; his eyes are rather bright and attentive, though he's a bit flushed due to all the cold - at least he doesn't look quite as pallored as he usually does.]

Well! I must say that after taking the advice given to me by some of you last time, some of these creatures really can be made decidedly less useless - although whatever these 'HM'...'TM'...things can teach them, some of the things they figure out how to do on their own are quite fascinating indeed~

[...Reaver, no one likes where this is going. Outside of maybe you, because you look very pleased with where this is going.]

By the way - for those of you who may have been wondering what these stupid animals do during that odd period where they disappear from the battlefield during certain attacks...the answer is absolutely nothing, as far as I can tell.

[And judging by that "Aw man :<" noise that just happened, he's standing on Lady Elizabeth; odd, as he definitely isn't using Dive, which is one of the more predictable delayed-attack moves given her species...

He just sort of shrugs, however, smirking up a storm.]

But if this place is willing to grant me the ability to drop a creature the size of a building onto the battlefield, then who am I to argue?

[And with that, he tosses the 'Gear down to...something far closer to the ground; it falls a good distance before it's caught by what appear to be tentacles - presumably his Octillery, then, as Rachel will at least keep a grip on the stupid thing and not drop it and let it shatter.

Not like it matters for long, however, at least as far as seeing anything else goes; there's a brief glimpse of Reaver jumping up from Lady Elizabeth's back, the motion agile and blatantly flamboyant, before the creature simply comes crashing down from on high. The resulting snowsplosion is an appropriately impressive one, obscuring anything else from being seen on camera until the feed shuts off abruptly because what the hell, trainer -

...and this sort of thing is the reason why Wailords really shouldn't be able to learn Bounce. Specifically speaking, Reaver is an idiot. AT LEAST...HE PRESUMABLY LANDED ON THE WHALE AND NOT THE GROUND...?]
