just a tiny one ... i'd be irritated if i had one in me too. ( gently taking hold. and. yoink! ) there! m' sure that already feels a lot better, doesn't it, vega?

have ya not noticed? ( poor guy. he snickers and gently elbows him. a little nudge. ) keep sayin' it. it's kinda cute.

are ya sure? ya just said 'shant' casually. yer humor may be a bit outdated. ~ ( he's joking. that sly grin said that much at least. he seems to have loosened up a bit. )

i've always been more reserved. i work better with pokemon than i do people.

kudos to you for bein' able to handle it. bein' in the public eye kinda. freaked me out a lot.

whaa-- is that the issue? well. c'mon. sit down and lemme look at it, okay? ( he crouches down, sitting on his knees and pats them a few times. ) i never considered somethin' could just be irritatin' em. splinter, they say.

... snrk-- ( don't laugh at him, damnit! he's trying his best! he has a lot of pictures of the pokemon he has and takes care of at work mixed in with pure. bullshit. ) maybe you'll find some ya find funny.

probably uh. better. the aggression that can fuel them when mega'd can be an issue sometimes. i know my blaziken can be like that. it takes him awhile to cool down. ( approaching the wretched starfish. he's trying to remain calm and collected. ) h. hey.

pr folks or not, i can shitpost at my leisure. m' an ex champion, anyway.

y. yeah. ( he's not going to correct him. it's much funnier this way, really. )

y'know. just. y'know. ( giving a thumbs up himself. )

some-- some pokemon just have poor temperament. like my blaziken. it depends on their raisin' and ... ( sloooowly sliding down the tree. comically slow. ) i uh. could. try to talk to em.

[txt.] ( he sent an image of a skitty but it has been photoshopped to have a grown mans arm with a thumbs up on the hand. amazing. ) there we go.

ahh ...! ( YES. YES. YES. YE-- ) sure. here. i'll letcha know when everythin' is set in stone. i don't see why they'd question my judgement on this, but. just in case. ( handing his pokenav over. )

( gone. not too far away, you could just see ruka clinging onto a tree for dear life. he scaled that thing like it was nothing. the volbeat left behind was wholly unbothered. still dancing away. amazing. ) WHAT IS THAT.

no, no. it's okay. i promise. we can getcha started as soon as i ... convince em. so maybe at the start of the week?

( oh. what is that. what's sprin-- WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT IS THAT. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!! SHRIEKING AND TURNING THE OTHER WAY. HE'S GONE. HE'S ZOOMING AWAY. )

i think it's your best shot, really. you'll be seeing a bunch of people and a bunch of people will see *you. doin' good. it's the best idea i got for now. maybe eventually you could pursue that contest idea ... sounds. cute. ( COUGH. clearing his throat. )

my chud son. ( watching his volbeat doing a little boogie. he's jamming. )

ooc. YAAAAY IM INCLUDED
