Thanks, I can tell we'll have fun together in this rp. I mean, it is correct to say birds of a certain feather flock together, right? :3
Or something like that.
This is a Pokémon rp. Of course you're gonna want to battle. That's the same with me, but your knowing this isn't really important. I have to balance out whether I want this to be a white beard type of moment or if I want it to be well, more of a crocodile moment.oof.
Ah, I see what you mean m9.
I guess you could say we are a tad eager for battle (like all rpers... let's be honest ;P), but in our defense our characters wouldn't know the significance of this person. From an OOC perspective it'd be daft to attack an uber-leet trainer like Viper but all (I believe) of our characters wouldn't know who Viper was. So if they were threatened by a random dude, being of the trainer sort, they would challenge the asshat by showing off their pokemon.
Taking down the top predator of this ecosystem would indeed be chaotic but fighting Viper and winning against Viper are different things.As you say, he keeps the snarks and grumpkins in line so I wouldn't think our characters at this stage could take him down. If he is top dog a rag-tag posse shouldn't be able to defeat him.
....
at least not without a training montage and a whole season leading up to the final showdown. Huuah !!
If I make it as white beardy as possible, he and his Pokémon won't resemble trainer and Pokémon. If I make him more akin to his role in one piece, then he's just a dude with strong Pokémon, but not invincible.
Because remember, elite 4 are one on one trainers. They're the best of the best in a 1 on 1 controlled situation. If you take Mohammed Ali and throw him into a bar. Suddenly he has to contend with broken bottles, chairs, and pool sticks. In a controlled fight he was the best of the best. In a street fight, he might get his skull cracked open by a cheap shot.
So even if he's an elite, literally. That's in a Pokémon competition, in the main league. Not in a street brawl. Lol
But this isn't really a spoiler so much as it's just a heads up. He'll be on Giovanni's level more or less. Strong but his real strength comes from his organizational ties. Not his own Pokémon
