When it comes to gym battles...which is more your style? Getting the damn thing over with as fast as possible by exploiting their weakness? Or drawing it out by not taking advantage of their typing handicap?
[Kuzuryuu, your team is hardly the pinnacle of typing diversity you really don't have much room to talk about type handicaps here. You beat Chuck because you were over-leveled, let's not kid ourselves here.]
...This isn't meant to be some deep analytical bullshit of your character or anything like that. I just got my Storm badge and that got me thinking. [...] It...seemed like a good conversation starter.
[He...tried? God, is he ever making an attempt at socializing. It's just not a very good one. Especially with this long pause he seems to have gotten himself stuck in now. Did he forget what he was going to say? No, he just kind of got off-script from how he'd initially planned this post to go and now he's not sure how to end it.]
Look, just... oh what the hell, fuck it. [He sighs in frustration, snapping back to his usual, irritable self. He was trying not to be obvious about the contest thing but FUCK IT.] The name's Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu. That's western order but let's keep it to family names, yeah? [Do not be fooled by the question mark at the end of that sentence. It is not a question; it's a statement, and his tone makes that abundantly clear. You are not on the (very short) list of people who are allowed to call him Fuyuhiko.] If we've never talked before, let's do it now. It doesn't even have to be about what I said before. The topic doesn't matter; I don't fucking care what it is, as long as it's not something stupid. Don't waste my goddamn time.
[WELL THAT SURE WENT DOWNHILL FASTER THAN A ROLLER SKATER ON CYCLING ROAD. People will be absolutely lining up to talk to you, Kuzuryuu. Well done. You will most assuredly beat Nanami now.]

[drops immediately tbh]
And I've got more than just dark types, I only had to use one of 'em in the fight. [He just...didn't really have much in the ways of psychic, flying (FUCK YOUR MOVESET, HONCHKROW), or bug (one lowly Ariados and both Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan know fire-type moves, welp). That was the real problem.] The ones I do have though are dual typed, yeah. Dark-steel, dark-flying, dark-fire...Liepard's the only pure dark I've got.
[Hold on, that fox. Now that he's getting a good look at it...]
Oy, is that thing what Zoroark evolves from? [Is that what's going to come out of the egg he bought for Peko earlier this week? He's seen the evolution but not the first stage.]
no subject
Satoshi? [The Zorua grins, an expression of unsettling knowingness at being acknowledged.] Yes, he is. Zorua differ from their evolved counterparts in not transforming as well--you can still see their tails and they can't talk if they transform into humans, though they can mimic other Pokemon perfectly. If you've got a Zorua on the way, I'd watch out for that transformation thing.
["Who, me?" says Satoshi's next expression. "I'm innocent."]
But he's an agile little fellow and it hasn't been boring raising him.
no subject
[Though, lord what has he done. He should have thought this through a little more instead of just going HEY. PEKO WANTS THIS THING. I WILL BUY THE THING.]
[Literally the only thought put into that purchase. What a guy.]
Wait, they can do that shit right after they hatch? [WELP. He kinda thought that was an acquired skill.]

[That's a very good question Botan. Interestingly enough, Peko herself asked him more or less the same thing just a few weeks ago. He still has no idea how to answer this question.]
[Because on the one hand: no, they are not friends. As much as Kuzuryuu has always wished they were, that has never been their relationship. But on the other hand: he'd rather not get into the truth with a stranger.]
In a...manner of speaking.

Well...I'm sure their Zorua won't prank them. Just everyone else in the vicinity.
[Totally comforting.]
no subject
That's part of what I'm concerned about. I'm kind of part of the "everyone else in the vicinity."
