Video/Action for Ecruteak

[bent_the_world]

[The feed opens pretty tight on Korra, who's in a pretty thick jacket. It's obvious she's outside, but little more. Other than she looks pretty pleased.]

So today I decided I wanted to work on precision with my team. Precision training's extremely important, after all. But it can be pretty boring.

[Or really, really boring.]

Since there's all this snow right now, we took advantage of it!

[The gear pulls out, and shows a rather large and impressive snow fort behind her, her Growlithe sitting proudly in the entrance and her Geodude hovering in the guard tower.]

[She's been thinking on and trying out ways to utilize her teams abilities the way she did bending back home. Today is her greatest triumph.]

The whole thing's built almost all with Pokemon moves! I gave them a little help shaping and piling, but the rest was all Poke-Power!

And I'd say they were pretty precise.

If that snow fort's the result, you can certainly consider your precision training a smashing success. But does your team have the tactical training necessary to properly use its defensive properties in a snowball fight?

[It would be a shame to not make good use of such a beautiful fort, truly.]

[video]

[bent_the_world]

Fort Growlithe Fire has yet to be attacked, so they haven't been put to the test!

But I bet we could handle any invaders.

[captainash]

Haha. If I wasn't stuck in ninja land, I'd offer to test that claim. But don't you worry that naming it after a Fire-type might be bad luck?

[in4apounding]

What a creative training method! I wouldn't have thought of that!

[bent_the_world]

Thanks! I used to do stuff like that with my elemental powers back home, I figured they could, too. With a little direction and help.

And it's great for practicing hitting specific small targets. And who doesn't like a neat snow fort?

[in4apounding]

It's a very nice fort! It looks very defensible. Did they use ice-type moves for this?

[Cause they don't look particularly icy, but this is a world where giant robots can learn to fly, so who knows.]

Oh, you had powers? Is that common in your world?

[When Elsa comes out of the inn today, a few of her pokemon trailing behind her and bundled up with the scarf Korra had picked up wrapped around her neck, she can't help but be instantly drawn to the snow fort.]

Wow!

[She certainly sounds genuinely impressed!]

Did you build that with just those two?

[bent_the_world]

Hey Elsa!

[Korra waves to the other woman, smiling and bright eyed in the snow. People were complaining all over about the weather, but she's in her element.]

Thanks! [She's genuinely pleased with the compliment.] My whole team helped out. Well, except my Magikarp. The rest are inside. We had a pretty productive morning. And these guys can do all kinds of stuff!

[She's consistently impressed with the talents and abilities her Pokemon possess. Now it's all a matter of putting them to good - and creative - use.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa's practically glowing as well. While feeling the cold is still a weird thing for her, even after having spent a whole winter season in Johto already, there's just... something wonderful, about being so close to her element again. It's like feeling a little piece of home.]

Oh, believe me. A little more training, and that Magikarp will be able to help out in a lot of ways.

[She'll still never forget how her first experience with pokemon evolution was seeing Anna's magikarp evolve....]

All of you did a very good job! I don't think I've seen a snow fort this well-built before.

[bylight]

That's rather impressive.

[That's something she'll have to try now.]

[Video]

[bent_the_world]

Thanks! It was fun to build, and everybody did great.

[bylight]

You've got them pretty well trained. It's good to see someone has enough sense to.

[baremyfangs]

Can't argue with ya! (That's some impressive work.) I think a group of Pokés have earned themselves a treat.

(Video)

[bent_the_world]

They're gonna get a big treat later!

It's definitely been a successful morning.

(Video)

[baremyfangs]

You know, an old fashioned snowball fight doesn't sound so bad.

[dreamsofahero]

That is rather impressive. And certainly a creative use for all the snow, at that.

[bent_the_world]

Thanks! It sure was fun to build!

*chuckles*

I imagine that's always a good thing... Though I admit, I'm not particularly fond of being out in the cold, myself.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Okay yeah that's getting an impressed whistle.]

You got anyone coming to try attacking that, or are you just hoping someone will see it and have to give it a shot?

[video]

[bent_the_world]

I figure somebody will come along.

Or we'll stand unchallenged, either way. I mean, I wouldn't blame anybody for being too intimidated to even try....

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Ha! People might get scared off, but you could always try waiting for someone to walk by and tossing some snow at them anyway. That usually works.

I'd bet that I could put up a good fight, but it looks like you're in a different city than I am.

[friendyousohard]

That's an amazing amount of skill present, Korra. You must be very proud of your team.

[Twilight's taking notes, not that Korra can see the notebook.]

What moves did you use exactly?

[Video]

[bent_the_world]

Thanks!

I tried to use all of the ones they've got, honestly. But a lot of it was using fire moves to melt, and water to add a freeze layer for reinforcement after shaping by hand. Water Gun really came in handy for the freezing.

Oh, and my Sentret's fury swipe was great for digging up snow.

[pipers_son]

And ta think there are folks complainin' about all this snow when ya can do such fun trainin' like this~!

[bent_the_world]

Well, not everybody was lucky enough to grow up in a vast tundra wasteland like me!

[What with most people not being raised in isolation on ice compounds in the middle of nowhere for their own safety.]
