[He's been mostly avoiding people this month save for times when he couldn't, but even then. Antisocial is a Thing, as is coming to terms with not being able to go home (and probably needing to actually help rather than sulking), dealing with pokemon needing to heal the old fashioned way - which sucks, if you ask him-, and.... the baby seedot in his arms.

He looks rather annoyed to even be asking, but - he has no choice.] Katharine has pokemon. The girl who gave me this had some kind of pokemon, and [Here, Silver makes a face.] He's got a team.

...Who else here has pokemon and is willing to battle to make this thing stronger? My pokemon are too powerful for it.

[A beat, then] Same goes for the rest of my team. If I have to be stuck here, I'm not going to stop training. They've fallen behind.

[Of course this is the first thing on his mind. At least he's not insulting anyone? Yet.]

Whoever this is, call back when you get that thing under control.

[AND TOTALLY HANGING UP ON YOU.]

[gianthobo]

[... Well then. Calling this person back now. Ring ring, Silver.]

[Please be the trainer, please be the trainer.] What?

[gianthobo]

Floette is not a thing.

[All the cheer is gone from his voice. You have angered the king, Silver.]

[namesaquestion]

Hmph. Whatever. It shouldn't be near the phone in the first place.

[.... s-sorry AZ.]

She likes to talk to people. She's not an 'it'. I'd advise you to watch your tongue.

[namesaquestion]

Hmph. Whatever.

You a trainer?

[He grits his teeth for a moment and allows himself a long breath before responding. This child...]

I am. I've been one for a very long time.

[namesaquestion]

[This child is an arsehole who needs to be taken out the back and shaken.

A pause, then a shrug.]

Care for a battle then, trainer?

[Video]

[gianthobo]

AZ. And why should I fight you? If you're not going to treat Pokemon as anything but 'things', then I don't know if you really should even have them.

We're trainers. You know the rule, right? [And totally trying to invoke the eye-contact rule GO.]

You sound like every other bleeding heart I've fought.

[gianthobo]

We're not face to face. And maybe, but I'd rather be a bleeding heart than someone who doesn't even treat Pokemon as if they have feelings. Trainers like you... they never go far, because they can't even see that it's themselves holding them back.
