"Too nice?! Well, did you know that he..."

She does actually have to struggle for this.

"...often forgets to pray at all before meals? Is that a model citizen to you?!"

[hijinked]

Disgustingly so, yes, to be honest.

[ yeah. ]

Let's just get this over with, shall we? There is no way you and I are going to see eye-to-eye on this.

[derailer]

Wow. Tune in next time where Lear is one of the trainers on the train talking about how disgustingly nice Ingo is.

"Fine! Bergmite, go!"

She sends out Bergmite to fight!

[hijinked]

[ he'll never admit to it

Anyway! Well! He doesn't have anything good against ice (in fact most of his team is at distinct disadvantage), but considering how much he's clubbed things with Munna, he's giving it a break.

Time to play things a little risky. ]

Donphan, you're up! Hit it hard and fast with fire fang!

[ sometimes you just gotta risk being weak to a Pokémon, it's fine.

2d6+1 = 7!]

[derailer]

Bergmite decides not to risk Blizzard this time, instead going for Ice Shard to get a quick super-effective hit in! That's gotta hurt!

...But Bergmite really isn't that strong, and succumbs easily to the Fire Fang afterwards. It was a good try.

[hijinked]

[ It was a good try! Lear just props his hands on his hips when the battle is won, nodding in some satisfaction. ]

All right then. That is more like it.

[derailer]

"Ooohhh... The life of a Bergmite fan isn't always easy..."

But she's not so much of a sore loser that she won't come over and heal Donphan with an old-fashioned topical potion.

[hijinked]

I... am sure it isn't.

[ a beat. ]

Good... luck with that, then.

And with that he's headed to the next car. ]

[derailer]

You move into the next car to see—well. He can tell you himself.

"Oh! My! Almighty Sinnoh! To think that the Great Melli would be forced into the presence of such a blockhead! Where do I even begin with that haggard old man?!"

Melli has a Skuntank with him, already out and about, with no trace of a Pokeball. It grunts in acknowledgment.

[hijinked]

[ he opens his mouth and Lear immediately decides he doesn't like him. ]

Hmph. Don't even bother, then.

Donphan, you're up. We'll begin on the offensive--earthquake!

[ He knows this Pokemon, he's ready this time probably!

2d6+2 = 9! ]

[derailer]

"At least listen to me!! Such disrespect—Skuntank, don't allow him to get away with this!"

Skuntank uses Night Slash, which strikes Donphan in a critical hit! ...But there's no way he can hold out against Earthquake. He faints quickly all the same.

"Noooo...!"

[hijinked]

[ damn u critical hits-- it's fine though, they still won which means Lear can be all smug about it. ]

Good. The less time I have to listen to you people, the better.

[derailer]

"Don't come here in the first place then! I don't see why I should help you at all if this is how you treat me!!"

Munna pops out of his ball, and starts floating towards Melli, coming behind him while he is distracted in his temper tantrum.

[hijinked]

[ ......?




well. Munna is more competent than Lear gave him credit for so.

He's waiting to see where this goes. And thoroughly ignoring Melli. ]

[derailer]

As Melli keeps whining, Munna pulls out the Full Restore jar from Melli's satchel in his stubby little limbs. He then floats over to Lear to deliver it.

[hijinked]

[ ... this is incredible. Lear has to cover up a smile with a mouth, even as he solemnly accepts the Full Restore. ]

Well done.

All right, Munna. Let's continue then.

[ together!! They're cute PokePals now!!

to the next train caaaar. ]

[derailer]

You move into the next car, where there's... no one. What? Why is this car completely empty?

But then, out of nowhere! With a twirl and a flash of her cape, Da Vinci appears out of thin air, spreading her arms wide performatively.

"Tah-dah! Who would have guessed it would be me? Congratulations! It's the beautiful, talented, Universal Genius Da Vinci!"

[hijinked]

[ none of this means anything to him.


He just stares for a long moment, before he sighs. ]

Yes, yes, genius, fine.

I assume you are here for a pokemon battle as well.

[derailer]

"Well, conceptually, I am also here to help accuse Ingo of being substandard. Did you know he is very clingy and overwhelming? Et cetera."

[hijinked]

"Etcetera". Yes, very persuasive.

[ eye roll. ]

Well, nothing you say can convince me to change my existing opinion on him, so it's a waste of breath for you to try otherwise.

[derailer]

"Why don't you talk for a bit? What's your opinion on him, if it's so solid?"

[hijinked]

He's annoying.

[ oh. what else could we really expect, honestly. ]

But he is also earnest, honest and irritatingly kind. Very skilled at battling with his Pokemon as well.

Honestly, there are plenty of people to find fault in who are much worse than he is.

[derailer]

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure anyone on this train could agree with the last bit. But we are where we are, you know? Still, you're magnanimous, going this far out of your way for someone annoying and irritating. You saw he's been through some actual life-threatening things, right? What if you get stuck reliving that?"

1/2

[hijinked]

Ha! Yes, well. Obviously, I am magnanimous! That is the sign of a good prince.

2/2

[hijinked]

[ ............. and, more solemnly: ]

If it comes to that, then it comes to that. I am here now, so there isn't any real reason to try to sway me from what I'm intending to do.
