"Hello... Whatever... Don't worry about me. I'm doing peachy over here! I was just looking for something to do! Wanna battle me again?"

I think so?

[he frowns, glancing over at blue. that's... certainly not what he expected to hear. or for blue to... even tell him.

archie tries to hide his smile.] It does, a bit. Thanks. Guess future me doesn't have any more screw ups up his sleeve.

[blueser]

[Three years ago...]

[Blue doesn't particularly like to think about that time. Speaking of what they were talking about...]

With all the Interpol here, plus Stone, not like you could try anything anyway. If you were gonna.

[...He doesn't count himself amongst that bunch. Perhaps conspicuously.]

[broceanic]

I'm not gonna do anything...

[he notes that, but doesn't find a problem with it. he's kind of tired of kids getting involved and needing to clean up the mess of adults.]

Ah, I'd be more worried about getting Anabel on my case than any o' the other trainers here. She's the one I can't stand disappointing. [he hums, looks over at blue.] Say, d'you know anythin' about Z-Moves?

[blueser]

Anabel, huh... Hmm, I think I met her. We talked about eggs. She's the chief, right?

--Z-what? [The ills of being pre-retcon.....]

[broceanic]

Yeah. Purple hair?

[there's a pause then... he shakes his head.]

It's somethin' Nanu can do, apparently. Thought you might know about it on account of bein' an Oak. Maybe that kinda shit really is super secret...

[blueser]

Uh-huh. [Blue quirks a brow- another technique he didn't know about? He really needed to study up on other regions, apparently...] Nope. No idea.

[His eyes narrow just slightly as the words 'on account of being an Oak' leave Archie's face, but he just looks away again.] Gramps studies Pokémon, not battle techniques. Anymore...

[broceanic]

I'm not thinking of your grandfather. I'm thinking of you, the Kanto champ, Viridian gym leader and well-known battling prodigy. You're the one that's here, not him.

[he shrugs.]

It's no big. I mean, I got no fuckin' idea what it is either. Could be brand new to Alolans for all I know. S'not like Nanu is forthcoming with knowledge. Typical old man.

[blueser]

[Blue's frown deepens somehow, furrowed brow aimed right at Archie.] 'On account of being an Oak', huh? Yeah, I'm sure you meant me. Tch...

I told you, I don't know. I'm a Kanto trainer... we don't have any stupid stuff like that. [Whatever that means!] We battle based on strategy. [Blue Oak is the original genwunner]
