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.]

Oh hey! You again!

[The cute guy with the bad attitude. Hey there.]

Are you really that desperate for people to talk to? That's kinda surprising.

[Tenten. Honey. No. This is not the kind of person you want to tease.]

Kuzuryuu-kun?

[She's testing it, man that's a mouthful. His family sure might be a thing to carry a name like that, but no judging. ~~As if anybody wearing a goddamned pink kimono should be allowed to judge.~~]

Unfortunately, I don't have a family name, you can just call me Botan.

[Ah, he wanted topics, all right then.]

What's your favorite type of Pokemon?

Fast and hard. Definitely fast and hard.

[You again. Dammit, he's already talked to you and it was annoying. WHY THIS.]

Fuck off, I'm not desperate. It's a competition, otherwise I wouldn't fucking bother with something like this.

[YOU DON'T COUNT TOWARDS HIS TOTAL. HE CAN BE AS RUDE AS HE WANTS. HA HA.]

[His family sure is a thing, you are right about that. Feel free to judge all you want though, he's nothing if not used to it.]

Yeah, that's right.

[Mouthful or not, you got it, Botan. Way to go.]

...I don't know if I'd say they're my fuckin' favorite but I like dark types. Haven't really seen a lot of the types in action yet so far though.

LMAO, I heard you and game girl Nanami were playing a talk to people game! Is she kicking your butt, Kuzu?

[ Unfortunately, you've already talked to Roxy. She won't be totally surprised if he just flips her off in response. Kuzu's a better than calling him Fuyuhiko, though, right? ]

Edited (spelling damn you) 2014-05-10 22:49 (UTC)

[...squint. That had better not be an innuendo there.]

Alright, second question then: why? Where's the fun in that? I mean, if you sink all that time and effort into training, don't you want it to last more than a few rounds?

Oh, so you're newer to this world! Let me see, dark types are...[speak of the devil, her Zorua pokes his head up into the feed and she pets him as she talks.] Right, I've got some too, although I'd say my preference leans more to ghost types. As for seeing other types in action, I'd say that some of yours probably have a second type to them, from what I understand there aren't as many "pure" dark types.

And they're weak against fighting types, so the fact that you won your Storm Badge recently calls for extra congratulations! [Botan he was certainly overleveled.]

[GOD. DAMMIT. WHY. WHY ALL THESE ANNOYING GIRLS HE'S ALREADY TALKED TO. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO HIM.]

Kuzuryuu. Don't ever call me that again.

[No, it's apparently worse than Fuyuhiko. Probably because "kuzu" can actually translate to "trash" in Japanese (among other things). But even if it didn't, just...no. Fuck no. You will use his family's name properly.]

...No? I put in all the time and effort so I'd win.

Not that new... [He did get his Storm Badge all of a few hours ago, after all! Clearly he's not super newbie. He's just...antisocial. Which would be why he knows BASICALLY NOBODY outside of his class.]

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.]

[Well she did say newer, but being a pedantic shit is not Botan's job.]

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.

[Kuzuryuu, huh?

This kid is interesting so that means he immediately has to poke at him.

Greed would probably look tougher right now if he hadn't spent the past two days in the rain. His hair is a complete mess even if it has dried out by now.]

Name's Greed.

I'll be honest, I don't give a flying fuck about challenging the gyms right now.

[Greed...]

I'm not the greatest at smalltalk but I suppose we could talk about the ridiculousness of a culture that lets ten year old children wander off in the middle of the woods for days at a time without concern.

[Wow. Way to be an asshole.]

Glad to see your attitude's just how you are, and not just 'cause you're at prom.

What're you competing for?

Well yeah, that goes without saying. Of course it's ultimately to win. I dunno, I think it's just more satisfying if there's at least SOME challenge in getting there.

[Asshole is his middle name, tbh.]

What can I say? What you see is what you get. [KUZURYUU, THAT IS NOT TRUE AND EVEN YOU KNOW IT.]

One of my classmates got all pissed off when I told her I wasn't talking to people outside of our school. So whoever talks to the most new people over the course of the month wins and gets one demand of the loser. Anything they want.

[And bragging rights but even he realizes this is a really stupid thing to brag about...]

Oh. You mean so it's like, "if this were easy everyone would do it".

[That's his job. He's gotcha covered on being a pedantic shit.]

[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.]

What you see is...

[She snickers at first, shoulder shaking a little as she bites back a full laugh.]

Hate to break it to you, but you definitely don't look like as much of a pain in the ass as you act!!

[And then she starts actually laughing. Gomen.]

Sort of, yeah. I mean...that's part of it, but not all of it. In this case almost everyone does it anyway, so I guess it's more like...wanting to avoid something anticlimactic. You know, if you see a goddamn dragon's head, you don't expect to see it followed by a snake's tail.

Success doesn't have much meaning if you don't have to struggle to get there. Or, in this case, if the struggle falls flat at the finish line. You get what I mean?

...No. You're basically saying if you worked really hard to get somewhere, then it better still be hard once you get there. But that's dumb, because why would you want something to be harder than it needs to be? You worked hard all that time so that once you got there, you'd be able to do it at all. Why would you complain about it being easier than you were expecting?

I mean, if what you actually cared about was winning, then you wouldn't care whether you won easy or hard, so long as you won. If you're mad about how easy or hard it was, then it sounds like you care about proving you're better than someone else or something, and that's why it has to be hard. Because nobody cares if you beat someone who isn't hard to beat. Right?

[Your name is Greed and you think he's the "interesting" one? Kuzuryuu is convinced this is some kind of codename or something. Okay, whatever. That works.]

[For about a second, at the mention of "ten year old children", his expression seems to harden into something that was probably the beginnings of anger. But it fades fairly quickly. He has to control his temper, after all, otherwise this conversation won't count. So he's choosing not to jump to the conclusion that that comment was directed at him.]

Heh, hate to say it, but you're talking to the wrong damn guy if you're looking for someone to agree that that's ridiculous. The way I see it, at least they've got magic animals with 'em.

[...are you seriously laughing at him right now, Tenten? You sure are, aren't you?]

[Yup.]

I didn't mean it literally, shithead! [But hell if he's going to explain that he actually meant "if you expected my personality to change just because of my surroundings, you're really fucking dumb".] And you're one to talk about pains in the ass!!

[WHY ARE YOU STILL TALKING TO HIM. WHY.]

Where I'm from, kids on their own tend to end up dead.

[Unless they're the Elric brothers, but. Small details.]

[Pause. Talking to a teenager.]

I mean young children. Actual ten year olds. Like the ones I was encountering in the woods who thought that a storm was the perfect opportunity for a battle.

It's a bit of a shock. But this place is definitely more... happy than the place I'm from.

[Maybe he was just in a bad mood at prom. Maybe he's normally a nice person outside of that!

Obviously not. She actually covers her mouth with both hands to try (with limited success) stifling her laughter. Even though the yelling is just kind of making her laugh more.]

I'm not the one making a public broadcast begging for people to talk to, then being rude to them! [she points out through her giggles.]
