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.]

[...Nonon, for god's sake.]

[Speaking of things that could have been worse: dragon boy. That...that sure is a thing she just called him and he's not sure what to make of that. It's not really offensive and on top of that it's...not entirely wrong. He is male and his family does share a name with a mythic dragon. Not sure if he's okay with this as a lasting nickname though.]
Glad you think so. I try to live up to my name.
[That's...that's the correct response to something like that, right? At least as far as non-aggressive responses go?]

a cute one
if by "cute" we mean "a little socially stupid" but same difference, right]
Well, if it's conversation you want, why don't you tell me about some of those badges you've gotten. I just showed up here pretty recently, and I'm not too familiar with the whole system - are they hard, or do the leaders fall pretty easily?

Depends on how much you train for it. If you're not prepared, they could easily kick your ass and vice versa. Chuck was more of a challenge for me than the last two. Kinda been doin' these challenges out of order, so only the Pokémon I've had since the beginning were really strong enough to fight him. And of those...most of them are at a disadvantage when it comes to fighting types.
I don't want to just exploit a gym leader's advantage the whole time, but I don't want to give them the opportunity to do the same to me, y'know?
[Balance...or something like that.]
