....That'll do

[type_edge]

[Something he managed to accomplish...well, something one of his Pokemon did at least, if that counts. Though yeah, it had a nice ring to it. This is what it's like to be a strong trainer right?]

...You have no idea what it's like to hear that. [Actually, you probably can. Those little tingles of appreciation. U-uhmmmm... this isn't still on is it? D-damn these connections.]

[Why not pass around that.]

--Anyway if he's around, I'll be there.

[futureprofessor]

[Oh, what is this? Maybe she doesn't understand it completely but... sympathy fills the link, and her voice is soft when she speaks.]

...I think I may have more idea than you think, Gladion. You're very welcome. [All the appreciation and FRIENDSHIP reaching out through the link! Enjoy!]

He is, he's waiting for you! He's a good guy, just a bit confused about Pokémon.

[type_edge]

[Nooo, no more feels. No one needs to see a grown emo boy fluster, or have the privilege of feeling that. It's like rays of sunshine and it's gross]

...W-was that all? [At least he has the politeness to ask rather than quickly shutting the connection off. Amazingly enough.]

[futureprofessor]

[Get used to it! Bianca giggles.]

I know what is like to wanted to be appreciated! You did a great job with Porygon-Z, Gladion! And as a exploring buddy too. You're my friend, you know what, right?

[type_edge]

It's not like I need friends. [or anything, baka. All that matters are his 'mons which are good and pure.]

Shouldn't you wait longer before coming to a decision like that?

[futureprofessor]

Don't be silly, everyone needs friends! Your Pokémon are your friends, aren't they?

[Ignoring that last question yep. Now don't answer this wrong, Gladion!]

[type_edge]

[How dare you ignore his question. How dare you.]

And that's why I don't need anyone else.

[Doesn't even have to state that they're his only friends that way. Ha.]

[futureprofessor]

[Sorry, Gladion, but that's pity reaching through the link now.]

Didn't you have fun with me and the other Trainers in our little trip? ...don't you ever feel lonely?

[type_edge]

[...No, no, stop that. Don't pity him.]

We were there on a mission, not a vacation. [Rude. He at least means it in the nicest way possible..?] And I don't usually feel that lonely.

[He has his pokemon, remember? And even if Gladion did and by no means he does, don't get any crazy ideas in there hmph, if she actually knew the kinds of people he had to be around most of the time, loneliness is not a bad alternative.]

[futureprofessor]

[Yeeeeeah, a little late for that.]

It was an excursion! Yeah, we got to look for some important information, but it was also all about exploring and seeing new things! Like Trainers always do! And you're a Trainer like us. Trainers and their Pokémon traveling together is fun.

[Do you know the meaning of that word, Gladion...]

[type_edge]

[What's a fun? Can you eat it?]

There's other reasons to travel than for fun.

[futureprofessor]

Sure! But that doesn't mean you can't have fun while doing those other things! It can be both!

[type_edge]

...You could.

[His pokemon had fun at least. Which does make him happy too.]

But you can say that with about anything. But if you're trying to accomplish something you need to stay focused on it.

[futureprofessor]

[A sigh, frustration appearing on their link.]

You're really stubborn, aren't you? Why is fun such a bad word for you?

[type_edge]

[Stubborn is a good way to put it.]

I-it's not. I just got other things to think about too.

[You're not edgy enough to understand.]
