[Have a shot of Nero's hand, holding the Thunder Badge.]

That was a piece of cake after the hell that voodoo chick in Saffron put me through; finding that damn switch was a worse pain in my ass than breaking into HQ back home, though.

[He turns the camera around. His hair...well, let's just say that the levels of static electricity in the Vermillion gym are quite high, and leave it at that. Dandelion? Got nothin' on this.

Clearly Nero hasn't noticed, because he runs a hand through it, a bit impatient, only making it worse. Behind him, there's a snuffling sound, before a big, lumbering shape--his Druddigon, all teenage-gangliness and overenthusiastic movement--pushes her head affectionately against his side. She reaches up to fix his hair, but he doesn't know it, so he tilts his head away, letting her claw rub like sandpaper over his cheek. His eyes narrow.]

So, uh.

Anyone know how to make a pokemon like you...less?

[Because having a two-hundred-pound fangirl with scales like sandpaper hanging all over you during a gym match when you're trying to teach her how things are done is. Distracting.

You made it to Cherrygrove yet?

Did you see the new breeding center eggs getting announced?

You complaining about her finding you says you've got second thoughts. Man up already.

How do those things even relate to each other? Yeah, I complain about her finding me, only because she'll end up physically hurting me in some way.

So she likes you, but she beats on you?

Yeah, pretty much. She put me in handcuffs and made me sit through two screenings of Apocalypse Hell: the directors cut and War and Peace. The first movie was three hours long, and the second one was seven hours and four minutes long.

She then tazed me when I tried to sneak out during the first movie and I passed out during this one scene that had a cow in it about to be sacrificed, and then woke up at that exact same scene hours later!!

[JESUS, WHY]

Uh, not to be disrespectful, [because goodness knows he'd never let anybody badmouth Kyrie, ever, so Yuuji might be similar, you never know] but she sounds kind of psycho.

[he waves his hand a little. he knows nero isn't being mean just to be mean. and he's not like... insulting her dreams or something, so he has no reason to jump down nero's throat.] She can be really nice and thoughtful when she wants to? But when she gets like this.... [he sighs.]

So it's an on-and-off kind of thing...?

To put it lightly, yeah.

...huh.

[WELP. LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE SOL, YUUJI.]

Is she cute, at least?

[ah, hold on. no one's ever asked him this before. give him a moment as he tries to think of something to say. THOUGH, I'M P. SURE HIS SILENCE SAYS IT ALL??]
