Take Initiative.

[trustharder]

It seems things have been resolved - peacefully, if more than a little awkwardly for most parties involved. However, there's still work to do here, isn't there? Ryuunosuke shrugs after a long moment; tips his head up a bit. "Hey, Glory? Let everyone up." And apparently that's all it takes, though what that actually does isn't something that happens all at once - rather, panels slide out from the wall, forming a staircase up to that balcony they've been standing on. Mettaton doesn't really wait for the others to join them; he just leaves back through that section of wall they entered from, calling something back over his shoulder. "We've got another room to work from back here, darlings, this shouldn't take too long to work out." >Follow?

Apologies for the wait, Zagi. ...Welcome back, though.

[HE IS NOT SURPRISED ZAGI HAS NOT CHANGED ALL, CONSIDERING...

...oh yeah, also Beheeyem is here, giving him a Look.]

[blastiarm]

Hey Colress— What is that.

[CAN HE FIGHT IT no wait he can't fight anything right now DAMMIT]

[pokexplorer]

[He should have known this would happen oh Arceus-]

This is Beheeyem! Do you recall when I spoke with you all that one night? Beheeyem was helping with that.

...I think he may have almost retaliated a bit with you.

[...Beheeyem doesn't really look sorry, either. Apparently, he wouldn't turn down a fight now.]

[blastiarm]

Oh! That's who we were kinda able to talk to, huh. Once I've got my strength back up I wanna fight you!

[POINTS AT BEHEEYEM

beheeyem does not deserve this]

[pokexplorer]

Yes, correct! I am very curious to know how that actually worked, considering the environment we were in, but I am glad it worked all the same.

[...]

And we would be honored to have a battle with you. I have more at the ready if you would like to battle them too.

[At the very least, Beheeyem seems to look forward to the battle, because he'll give a fighting stance to say "BRING IT". Not in Yuri Lowell voice.

Look at their lives. Minutes after being back in the real world, they're discussing humans fighting Pokemon. Heeere we go again.]

[blastiarm]

[COLRESS YOU GET HIM THOUGH, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS]

That sounds great! I definitely need to fight all of them! They're not like the monsters I'm used to back home, so I definitely want a chance to fight 'em!

[pokexplorer]

[Finally, Zagi gets a fight after reuniting with one of his fellow vault-goers...

God bless.]

You may absolutely battle all of them. Simply let me know when you are up to full strength. I am no longer as concerned about them taking too much damage, so you may go all-out.

[What the hell is happening here, calm down both of you.]

[blastiarm]

That sounds fun! You're a good guy, Colress.

[NOW YOU'RE ONE OF HIS FAVORITES??? GOOD JOB???]

I don't know when Kamui and I are leaving, but hopefully I'll be in fighting shape before then! If not... well, I'll be sure to find you.

[pokexplorer]

[HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN? HE'LL TAKE IT THOUGH...?

Like, he even genuinely laughs at it.]

Well, it is only fair. By the way, I highly suggest you battle with Sigrun sometime as well. She managed to stay on equal footing with my Klinklang, and that is something.

[...He'd be there to popcorn it too.]

Of course. It will be nice if we can keep in contact. After all, I have Pokemon to capture for you all!

...That does mean you, Zagi. I hope you enjoy the one I have chosen.

[blastiarm]

I definitely do want to fight Sigrun, but... I can have a Pokémon?

[He seems sort of confused by this idea actually.]

What kind of Pokémon? Are you really sure it's a good idea to give me one?

[HE WILL FIGHT IT ALL THE TIME]

[pokexplorer]

The one I have in mind for you should be able to keep up with you just fine. It is a Fighting-type, just like you!

[Colress stop typing the humans.]

...And its species is known for immediately headbutting everything it come across. So I imagine it would want to fight you anyway.

[blastiarm]

I'm definitely a Fighting-type!

[no one tell him about dark-types]

That sounds amazing! I totally want one! So I'll be sure to drop by and visit at some point, alright!? Then I can fight your Pokémon and mine!

[BOY IS HE EXCITED, THIS IS GONNA BE FUN— wait]

Will you get one for Kamui too?

[pokexplorer]

[Dark/Fighting, just like his Pokemon. Truly beautiful.]

You are more than welcome to visit Unova any time you would like. Just...one request, though. Please do not go around challenging everyone to a battle like that- humans fighting Pokemon is very unorthodox and you may get yourself in some tough situations with the police...

[Zagi please don't get arrested before Colress even finds you.

And...oh? He's asking about Kamui? ...He's kind of surprised by that- maybe they made up on the other side?]

I absolutely do intend to. Admittedly I never got to know him well, so perhaps you can assist me in picking something for him. The current one I have chosen is a bat that emits ultrasonic waves that can cause damage but also give a positive feeling to those nearby. It depends on the situation, of course.

Do you suppose that would be fitting for him?

[blastiarm]

Oh. Yeah, alright, I won't cause any trouble for you. I'll just watch.

[HE'S GOING TO REGRET THIS IF HE SHOWS UP IN POKEMONWORLD BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE LATER]

That sounds pretty good. He is a vampire.

[Vampires, bats. It totally works.]

He's sort of a prickly person. He doesn't really admit what he's feeling easily and he tries to cover everything up, act like he's calm all the time. He definitely isn't. He's the best fighter I know though, and he doesn't back down from a challenge! He's blunt and he says what he needs to and he's great. He's got massive claws he can fight with and it hurts to get hit by those things! He's stabbed me through a few times, it's been fun.

[...there is so much wrong with everything that's been said here, jesus christ.

But Zagi looks really happy as he's talking about the guy who killed him so uh???]

[pokexplorer]

[YOU CAN...FIGHT WILD POKEMON ZAGI, IT'S FINE.

But you're getting a curious head tilt for the vampire comment.]

Are they associated with bats or something? I had no idea.

[He really didn't. Accidental fitting starter for Kamui...!

Meanwhile what the hell Zagi. Sorry if Colress looks a little bewildered here, 'cause uh...]

I am...glad that you two had fun. The claws seem to be what killed you, you know.

[So...you can be happy about that, Zagi.]

I am beginning to wonder if Woobat and its evolution Swoobat do not exactly fit that...everything, appearance-wise. But when it comes to Pokemon, looks can be deceiving. So I do hope he enjoys it.

[blastiarm]

Huh? Oh yeah, they usually are. I think they can turn into bats in stories and stuff? Pretty sure Kamui can't do that.

[BUT WHO KNOWS, MAYBE HE CAN.]

And yeah, they did! He impaled me a few times while we were dead too! It was fun!

[ZAGI]

I think he will— oh, depending on when we see you again we might need another Pokémon for his brother. It wouldn't be fair for him not to get one, right?

[He's. He's trying...]

[pokexplorer]

Well now! You learn something new every day!

[...Colress you have learned a fucklot of things today, this is nothing in comparison.

...Zagi... He'll just. Um. Focus on the last bit if that's okay.]

Oh! That would be just fine, though I may need assistance choosing one for his brother. Or if you decide to visit Unova, you are more than welcome to see what is available to capture.

[blastiarm]

Yeah. I haven't met him yet so I think it'd be best to wait on that. I'm sure we'll be by at some point! I've got your Pokémon to fight, after all!

[goddammit zagi]

[pokexplorer]

Excellent. I look forward to it!

[Try not to get knocked off his ship during the battle, Zagi.]
