[ Voice ]

So, who here's heard of dinosaurs?

[ He's been reading Michael Crichton lately, sue him. Also, he genuinely wonders how many not-Earth people have, given a lot of animals do seem similar between a lot of worlds, but... dinosaurs though. ]

[ Action ]

[ Well, there are normal staples of Masaomi's day: you can see him working the Convenience Store if you want, you can see him shopping for clothes, you can see him in the library (perhaps picking up some books in the aforementioned dinosaurs), or training (in a tank top and shorts) at the Battle Dome. At the end of the day you might also see him going to HQ for the end of the night.

But... something else is at the Dome today fore someone who wants special stuff. Namely, once he's tired and sweaty and Linda has worked herself hard, Masaomi is still using his room, but he's using it to project images of all sorts of dinosaurs based on a picture book that he picked up at the library. To see them in motion, because why wouldn't you try to do something like that? ]

[ Wow, what is he, chopped liver ]

She's probably behind the counter.

[ undesirable?? ]

Oh, okay. [ well! How about this. Just give him a second. ] How have you been?

I've been making a life out of it. This and that, basically.

[ He shrugs a little ] I can't say it's been bad for me compared to some others.

[ He blinks, trying to guess what Masaomi means. ]

Did something happen? [ Something people should know about?? ]

Yeah, a few months ago. [ Shrug. That's ancient history, by now ] Some people aren't quite themselves still, that's all.

[ It takes a second and then -- ] Oh, right... since Zompania?

...wait. Weren't you Gold's friend? You were going to get on his pokémon with him and Crystal.

....Wait, of course. You were that guy who we had to fit on Togebo.

Wha? Are you saying I was fat? You're the one that couldn't get on, buddy.

Togetaro couldn't support four people! It's got nothing to do with fat!

[ And in fact, to make this point, he reaches out to put his hand at the top of Red's head. And then back to the top of his. Notice the height difference? Punk? ]

[ He shifts his hat, turning it around like a true punk. ]

Heh, I know. I'm just joking. [ He pats his own head. ] And I'm tall enough for my age, thanks!

[ Wow, what a kid. Masaomi can't help but laugh in spite of himself, because that's some assuredness and confidence. Okay, okay kid, you got him ]

Yeah, I'll bet! [ and off the fridge, towards another isle ] We've got some cat food which'll need to get removed too.

[ Gotta be cool, Masaomi!! ]

Okay, sure. [ Red will follow! ] What's cat food made of? Biscuits? [ oh, oh- ] Has Pipichu ever tried it?

What on Earth's a Pipichu?

[ Jeez. But ... you know he has no idea what cat food is made of... ]

Your pikachu? Um... wasn't it a cutesy name like that?

Linda. It's nothing like that. [ Huff

Anyway there's the cat food, and he heads back to the counter. ... And considers looking at the coffee machine. No. that's too mean. ]

[ Wowww.... is he sure he knows his own pikachu's name??? Red's sure he remembers something about a pipichu too!

At least he gets to see the pikachu of the moment though when he follows Masaomi over to the counter - and, of course, his own. Who gives him a welcoming sound and a wave, right before he chucks over one his spicy nuts to the trainer. Red catches it, just - or he traps it against his chest his the heel of his hands. Ah... ahhhhhh....

ok let's make small talk. ] So, how much do you know about pokémon? Do you only know about pikachus and the pokémon your friends have?

I know a few more than that, but I wouldn't call myself an expert or anything. It's been two years, and I still haven't totally memorized all those type-matches.

[ He explains this with a wave of his his hand, giving a thumbs up to Linda, which she huffs at and looks away from because she was talking with this simpleton. Gosh. ]

[ This simpleton who is now asking her so lik hey, do you wanna train together sometime?? Maybe fight?? Me and Red are always in the battledome!! ]

Like what's weak and strong? Does learning that stuff matter here anyway? Unless you want to figure it out for fighting against other trainers.

[ But wow... this guy's been a trainer for two years, huh! ]

Aaahha. Yeah, see, not much. But... [ He shrugs now, getting a little bit nostalgic for when he was more new. Masaomi sighs dramatically, rolling his shoulders ] I was told that was one of those basics I should master, and so I tried.

[ Oh fight, definitely fight tho. She would love to smack you around a little. We're in that Dome a lot too because we both work out there. ]

[ Red hmmms, thinking about it. ]

Sure, maybe if you're back in a world full of pokémon?... but what I think a trainer should know before any of that? Is who their pokémon is. Because who says Linda would've wanted to grow up being a fighter? Or want to be serious about it, anyway.

And figuring out all the type match-ups here ever seems pretty dumb and useless to me.

[ Don't think Pikachu won't smack a girl right back!! ]

[ ... Ah. That's so simple, but it's true, honestly. He can't help but think back to the early days of him and Linda, or the days when he thought Hiccup wasn't handling Kyle well, or Ikki and Soren... ]

Ah. Yeah. Well, in my case, I lucked out that Linda was born as a fighter. Don't worry.

I'm not. [ He glances over at Linda. ] If you've known her for two years since she was a baby pikachu, you'd know her the best.

[ Red was going to give this strange that much credit, at least. The pikachu didn't look unhappy from where he stood. ]

Do you know if she ever wants to evolve?

[ Oh he- Masaomi blinks once or twice before he nods. ] She does, yeah. Actually, she's wanted to for a while now and we've got that stone sitting around for when she can! There's been this or that problem, though.

This or that problem? [ Now Red is the one blinking first before continuing ] Like distractions? Or...?

Distractions and... well, this other thing I've worked with Cilan-san about. [ He does not want to explain that whole fiasco to some rando. Linda doesn't either, pouting a bit from overhearing them, but she turns to Pikachu and is like hey let's get something to drink ]

Still! Should be ready to go for it soon enough.
