3rd Struggle [Video] Pokemon Center

[pinnedbangs]

Hey. ... You know, until this morning I thought I was still dreaming. This place is full of amazing things and so many different animals - pokémon!

[Yes, that's Rin, sitting inside of the pokemon center. If the tell-tale music wasn't enough of a giveaway, then certainly the decor was enough to tip off even the least observant of viewers. Rin doesn't seem too different than before. His hair is still unkempt, his clothes as clean as he could keep them, and even his smile was just as sunny. Despite appearances, he still looked far too tired. One could say he almost looked sad.]

I went to challenge that Falkner guy and he defeated my team pretty badly. [And there it was - that small flicker of something wrong -- ] Nurse Joy's taking care of them now. Falkner's looked so cool in flight! They were amazing! Poochy, Pidgey, and Blue did their best out there. Even before that we walked through that cave and saw so many other pokémon! I know Shi-- .. .. a friend of mine would have liked a few of them. [Rin becomes quiet for a moment. Bellsprout would be the sort of pokemon Shiemi would like, he thinks. He did look sad now, but he fought his frown with a smile.]

[Shit, he was stalling now, wasn't he? Rin shrugs his shoulders, suddenly unsure of what he wanted to ask in the first place.] ...These pokémon aren't just for fighting, are they? They're like animals. Hell, they're the closest things to animals Johto has. If I had to get a badge, why can't I fight that Falkner guy myself?

He wouldn't be much competition anyway. I mean all the gym leaders and those kids who ask for battles on the road look like they've never been in a fight. Or even an argument.

[He agrees wholeheartedly with that toothpick statement. Izumo was probably thicker than that guy! Nero's laughter puts him off guard, but he just presses forward with his questions.]

Wait, you have?

Made a living out of it.

[There's something in his tone that's a bit challenging, as if to say 'got a problem with that'?]

Anyway, even a twig like you could probably take bird-boy on.

[Ahaha how cool, this guy made a living out of fighting! Good thing Rin isn't about that life anymore. Ahaha --

and now Rin isn't laughing anymore. It must have something to do with being called a 'twig'.]

Just because you look like an Arnold Schwarzenegger knock-off doesn't make me a twig!

Nah, pretty sure you being a twig makes you a twig.

[Though yes, he is nicely muscular and quite tall, thank you for noticing.]

Your puppy still chewing on you? [Asking for it? Liiiittle bit.]

[FLIPS A TABLE - fsdafdf must stay cool must remember that he's not about fighting anyone unless they hurt someone fdsafsda!!!]

Quit calling me a twig, Schwarzenegger!! Poochy - [oh gosh that name sounds so girly now] - isn't doing that anymore! [she's moved onto his legs...]

[ripped]

'Poochy', huh? Cute.

Though I guess she must've shaped up some if she took on a gym.

[pinnedbangs]

Shut up! Sh-She's a girl so it makes sense for her to have a cute name like that! [JUSTIFICATION THY NAME IS POOCHY]

And, yeah, she did shape up. [And she got served.]

And you still got your ass handed to you. That takes talent.

[Rin, stop being so much fuck to tease, because if you don't he will never stop.]

[pinnedbangs]

Sh-Shut the hell up! I'll make you shit your own words, damn it!! [ -- that sounded way cooler in his mind -- CAN HE TAKE THAT BACK -- no, wait IT WAS COOL IT WAS TOTALLY A COOL THING TO SAY]

video; *fun, even, wow brain

[ripped]

Have to make me eat 'em first, and that's a hell of a lot easier said than done. Good luck with that.

[Nero will give Rin one last shit-eating grin before he turns off the feed, satisfied to have caused a little benign chaos. Truth of the matter is? He kind of likes Rin's predictable feistiness.]
