That was only the first level?! After all of her efforts, all of the triggers that she pulled, the zombies that she shot, the flesh and blood that she saw splatter all over her screen and the boss they battled, that was only the first level!? Leon had to be lying right? No way there was another level after this, if she had to go through this again, but at a harder level with even more blood and gore... No way, she was out for good. There was no way she was gonna shoot more zombies, only to have their intestines all over the screen, she had enough zombie body parts for one day. Maybe another day when she's watched a couple of zombie movies.

The finale of the level however, was quite spectacular. The grenade that she had thrown did immense amount of damage to the boss, hitting the legs and the vital areas. Cynthia herself had yeeted the grenade wherever, hoping it would do the maximum amountt of damage which it did! She couldn't fathom the possible outcomes if she had missed that grenade or had thrown it at Leon's avatar. The worst she could imagine was that they'd lose the game but what would've happened to Leon's avatar? A great big splat? Eek, she wasn't thinking about that.

"Ah... Yay..." She responded weakly, putting down the gun and going over to high-five Leon. However, due to the weight of the weapon putting strain on her arms and the constant shooting, her arms fell before they could come into contact with Leon's hand, going for his head and then headpatting him instead. "Ah... I don't think I could do another round. I might throw up my lunch heh..."
David
L:The headpats was unexpected and Leon felt the pressures. He's more or less used to it when Raihan does it to bully him, but getting one from Cynthia made him feel so small. "O-oi..." He says with an irked smile tugging at his lips. He brushes that hand away before he could settle for the comfortable feeling. He usually doesn't want to sound so gruff when but that patting got to him. "We don't need to play anymore then," He said and turns away from her. The number on the screen is counting down for them to move on or not. If they're not going to continue, they'll just have to let the time run out. 

What other games can they play? Oh! The punching bag strength game! It's as simple as it sounds. You give the best punch you can give and the number adds up to 999 for the highest! That'll be easy for Leon to get. He just wants to see how much the Sinnoh Champion is capable. "Let's try this one next." He puts down his own gun and steps away from their current machine. At the corner of the arcade is the punching bag game. He steps up to plate and press the reset button so that it could start and go back to zero. 

"Watch and learn," He said and he gives himself some arm rolls, shoulder rolls, the works. Giving some space between himself and the punching bag, he readies him—and then takes a step forward to gain momentum for his flying fist. He throws his right hand and arm forward into a straight jab, knocking the bag and the number starts climbing! It keeps going and going up until... 990! Not too bad! But it could've been better. "Just nine away from the max... Oh well." Leon scratches the back of his head as if embarrassed he failed. "Your turn!" He says this with a bit of a knowing tone.
Vincent
The head pat were purely accidental, something out of Cynthia's control. It was even more confusing when Leon pushed her hand away, but still showed a little curvature of the lips as he did so. *Ah... So he likes head pats... Another weakness to add!* A small smile appeared on her face as she discovered a weakness to use against the champion. The words that came out of his mouth, a little stutter which made Cynthia's heart jolt a little, the little *"O-oi"* Sounded so cute to her! "Yeah, sorry if about that Leo... We can play this game another day when I'm feeling a little bit more confident heh..."

Next, Cynthia was face to face with a punching machine. You had to punch as hard as you could to get the highest score, that being 999. She'd watch Leon go first, seeing as he chose this game. Cynthia did indeed wonder if Leon did have the real muscles that possessed power rather than those showy muscles that were only for display. Her answer soon came when Leon smashed out a high 990, only 9 off the maximum achievable score of 999. "So they aren't just for show... Heheh." She gave Leon a little clap, applauding him for his efforts before giving him another head pat, this time with purpose. 

"Now, let me have a try at this punching bag." Before punching, she examined the punching bag and the mechanism, wanting to bring out the most of her punch. After positioning the bag where she wished to hit it, she positioned herself as well. She gave herself a few practice swings, rotating her body and pushing her arm forward at the same time for maximum power. Now, it was her time to give it a hefty punch. She readied her footing, pulled back and smashed her fist into the punching bag as hard as she could, the bag hitting the mechanism and the score rising up. 988....989...990... Did she get the same score as Le- 991! She achieved one higher than Leon! "Ooh! That hurt my fist..." She turned around and look at Leon, smiling. "Do you wish to go go again Leo~?"
David
He honestly doubt Cynthia would get the number up to 500, so he stood to the side folding his arms. That little headpat—he made *Sure* Not to show any emotion on that. It took a bit before the female started her punch. She inspected the thing like it was a new artifact. Then, she did some shadow boxing as if *That'll* Help! It was kind of funny to see her ready herself up. Does it really need all that time? "Just go already, Cyn." He would add in his mind, *"You know when you're already beat."* When the blonde finally throws her punch though, it was quite the smack! Leon can see it in the motions of her body that it was going to be a good score!

The numbers were climbing and holy Everstone!—it reached up all the way to the 900s already! It kept climbing until 988...989...990... Is it going to stop? It seemed to have stalled out there so Leon releases his breath. Wait. Was he holding it in this whole time? Theeeen—991?! Leon showed his surprise obviously by unfolding his arms and widening his eyes. "C-congrats, Cynthia," He says again and grits his teeth. When she offered for him to try again, the champ does his arm rolls and step forward. "With pleasure!"

So Cynthia warmed herself up, huh? Well, Leon could do that too but he doesn't want to waste his energy right now. Fine. He'll just give it a different punch. Readying himself by picking a leaned over stance, Leon holds his fists up. He needs the right time to strike and the time is—NOW! Throwing his whole weight into this punch, also with the pivot of his body to the left, Leon gives a right hook to the machine and the numbers quickly rise up. Up, up until—**YES**! 999! The max score! "See? I could've made it but that was... Just a warm up before." He beamed at this silly accomplishment, putting his hands on his hips. "Alright! Let's play another game. Since your fist hurts and all." He pats the blonde's hand before patting her shoulder.

Noticing a familiar voice that rung out *"SUPER SMASH BROTHERRRS!"* Leon was hooked like a Mothim to light. "There!" It's the most popular game right now! Finding his way toward it since it's a short distance from here to there anyway, Leon sits himself down and grab the GameCube remote. "Let's play!" He seems really happy.
Vincent
Cynthia would look as Leon prepared his second punch of the machine. Now she saw a glimpse of Leon's power, she began analysing everything he was doing. From his moment, to his footing and his focus on the punching bag. After running a few calculations and a couple simulations within her mind, she could predict Leon achieving a score of 995+ and that was the lowest number her simulations could result within her brain. Cynthia was always an observer, simulator and a predicter, most of her predictions coming through within a battle or daily life... But she couldn't always rely upon them. However, in situations like these, since nothing was to gain nor to lose, predictions weren't bad.

Well, it appears her predictions and simulations had come correct! Leon with his stance, his movement and momentum had allowed him to... Oh, he smashed out the maximum possible score. So does muscles aren't just for show... Mhm... I wonder if he can pick me up. She wondered to herself as Leon achieved the highest possible score, looking real proud of himself. To be fair on him, who wouldn't be? Gaining the maximum score on a machine which almost never gives you the maximum score, it's a scam really. "Well done Leo! I'm proud of you!" She gave another head pat soon after, holding on, wanting to see what would happen if she continued doing it.

Before Cynthia could congratulate the champion any further, she saw Leon running away to another arcade machine, which really wasn't an arcade machine. It was a kiosk kind of thing which had a switch on it, controllers and a massive screen so two players could play. Something about Super Smash Brothers? Something about smashing? Smashing, that was a word related to two kind of things, smashing something into pieces and... Well Cynthia wasn't going to think about the second meaning of smashing since she knew Leon was clueless to think about that one as well. So she hurried off, not wanting to lose Leon in the sea of other people.

Once Cynthia made her way to the next station for gaming, she could see that Super Smash Brothers was a fighting game! She too grabbed the GameCube controller thingy, she didn't know what it was. She grabbed the controller and stood next to Leon, looking at the screen with interest. "So... We fight against each other on this game?" A stupid question to be asked but Cynthia wanted to make sure.
David
"Yep!" He answers so brightly like a child showing his own *Mother* How to play a game. As they booted up from the menu and then to the SMASH selection, Leon picks the common stage—the Battlefield, normal type, items on (for Cynthia), stock battle with three stocks, and no time. "You can call it *Smashing!* We pick characters from this roster full of iconic game characters and battle in a stadium. Here, I'll pick..." Leon moves his cursor around on screen. "Captain Falcon!" He picks his character just as the announcer said its name. "Now you pick, Cyn." After the female would pick her character, Leon, got them started.

It started and their characters are spawned onto the stage. "Do you know how to play?" He asked. Leon might be someone who wants to win and doesn't like to hold back but winning against a total newbie wouldn't feel so good, would it? Leon explains the rules (I'm gonna assume you know how to play SSBU, Zen), and made sure to demonstrate by showing it through his own character. If Cynthia didn't get it even through that, Leon helped by leaning over to the female and moving her fingers along with his instructions. "Remember, if you're falling off stage, press up and B at the same time and you'll perform a recovery." He finishes.

If she has all of that understood, they could finally fight! Leon had distance himself when showing the controls to Cynthia so that they wouldn't hit each other. Now he'll see if she actually *Listened.*
Vincent
"Hm." Whilst Leon was going through the rules and such, Cynthia would be looking through the character selections. There were characters in various sizes and shapes, some with swords and some with a bow and arrow. Whatever character she chose, she probably would lose to Leon anyway since he seemed really confident in telling her all the rules. He was even able to change the rules and such with a couple of selections of the button. However, something gave her a little hope since this was what she thought during the Mario Kart game, and she won that one. So she stopped doubting herself and focused on the game.

The numerous amount of characters made Cynthia's indecisiveness erupt out of her brain once more. She would've taken a very long to decide if she hadn't seen the randomiser choice near the bottom right. Instead of choosing herself, she'd choose that option, wanting anything since even with her confidence, she was going to lose anyway. As the stage was set, and the battle begin title was shown, Cynthia finally caught a glimpse of her character! It was a robot! Apparently it was called R.O.B. And Cynthia had no idea what those letters were meant to stand for.

Cynthia looked at the controls, letting Leon explain to her as she sneakily snuck a few hits in with the A-Button, laughing as she did. She needed all the advantage she needed.
David
RIGHT! The battle is going to commence. It's funny how Cynthia's character is ROB. ~~He's big enough to take all the electric knees in the face.~~ So, yeah, finished with the explaining, it was time for the action. Leon made Captain Falcon run forward and the guy is fast so he's able to cover so much ground. Going for a grab, he held onto the collar of the robot and pummeled the thing a couple of times before forward throwing. Quickly, Leon follows up with a short hop and forward air, initiating the electric knee and hearing the satisfying *Thunk* Of it as it connected with a solid blow. Now that ROB is just over the edge, Leon makes sure to land first before jumping over the other character and performing a down-air for an attempted spike.
Vincent
Out of sheer panic, she began button mashing. There was no sign of the instructions that Leon told her, instead, just a loud noise of button mashing coming from Cynthia's side. It appears, button mashing actually works! A blast of powerful energy shot out from rob, sending the Falcon backwards, soon after, her character would begin spinning like a beyblade, smashing into the Falcon a couple of times, knocking it back once more. Of course, this was only after Leon was going for the spike. Before he could jump, the blast of energy would've slammed into the Falcon. Cynthia was having so much fun with this! Seeing her robot transform into a beyblade and run into Leon's character. Perhaps she could even get used to this? Maybe she could beat Leon at this game too?! She's gonna have to see!
David
Of course ROB's special stopped him! Not only that, but he was followed up with a side-B, getting bashed back. Of course. All beginners like to button mash and Cynthia isn't an exception. Even after instructing her, it's common for newbies to be overwhelmed than fight in a more tactical way. *Which will be her downfall, Leon is sure.* He distances himself from his enemy. The only moves that could get to the Captain is ROB's special and down-B, which is the robot's toy, the gyro. As she's wildin' over there, Leon noticed an item dropping onto the stage. Oh. Right. He added items for Cynthia's sake. Usually Leon fought with *No* Items but since this was for fun, might as well. Grabbing the sticky bomb, Leon made Capt. Falcon throw it and it sticks onto ROB. He waits patiently, making sure to distance his character so that Cynthia doesn't make her character switch that sticky bomb off to him!
Vincent
Unfortunately for Leon, Cynthia regained her composure as she developed herself into the action. As Leon threw the sticky bomb towards ROB, she quickly pressed Up B, letting ROB activate his thrusters and moving quickly away from the bomb. However, the bomb did snugly latch onto ROB meaning that it could be exploded by Leon at any given point. As Cynthia saw the bomb latch onto her character, she'd dash towards Falcon, not wanting to let him get out of the explosion radius. Right as Rob got near Falcon, Cynthia would command another beyblade spinny attack, wanting Falcon to be caught up as close he could physically be to the bomb. "You're not going to blow me up that easily Leo!" She'd exclaim happily as she initiated the spinning attack.
David
Cynthia seems to be getting the hang of it. Her reaction time is good as she almost dodged that sticky bomb. Yet, it still latched on and Leon sees the big metal box running toward his character. "Sorry, not sorry, Cynthia! You'll have to blow up by yourself!" He perfectly parries that beyblade move, before quickly jumping up on the platform above them and then continues to leap from leverage to leverage. That's where he landed near a green shell that just spawned and Leon made the Captain *Yeet* The item toward the other.
Vincent
"Ah!" Her eyes were glued to Falcon as he leapt over her spinning beyblade attack. However, she did see the parry move from Leon and as the Green Shell came rushing towards her, she'd parry that item back towards him. Right as the Green Shell would rush towards him, she'd control ROB to dash after Falcon, wanting to get as close to him before she could fire off a major attack. After the Green Shell hit her, she charged up her B-Move, that being the Galactic Supernova Laser beam. A purple, orange, yellow and white laser beam came shooting out of ROB's face, heading straight towards Falcon.
