"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?"

[A long and struggled silence]



Why would I be scared...? Oh, forget it. They only counted the people and their Pokémon, anyway. Why's this old fart being so nosy...? Like he cares. Not to mention old man Blaine lost everything...


...
Yeah, whatever. I'm fine.

[broceanic]

Blaine... poor man. The League would help him rebuild, wouldn't they? He's still a Gym Leader?

I won't press. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

[blueser]

He heard that!?

[blueser]

W-Whatever. He resettled in Seafoam for... the time being...

Stop apologizing to me. I told you, it doesn't have anything to do with me.

[broceanic]

If you were affected by it, it does. Or am I just projecting that onto him...? He's so young and had to see such destruction, just like May.

[his own mental tangent causes a pang of pain that's felt over the connection.]

I'm not saying it to be sorry personally. Despite what you think of me after what I did - and I don't blame you for any of it, you're right - I still do actually care about other people going through something terrible like that. I'd feel the same for anyone from Kanto.

Just like Hoenn. I still owe so much to that region... I don't want to be here.

[blueser]

Ahhh, stop that! I don't want your baggage!!

[Blue shouts over the crystal as hard as he can, clenching in an attempt to force the stupid crystal to stop oversharing. He doesn't really mean it to Archie, but... well, he's collateral to the sentiment.]

I don't wanna talk about this crap! You don't even know anything about me, so don't apologize to me about something you feel bad about!

[The crystal's connection is suddenly severed with a harsh, forced sensation, as Blue finally manages to force it shut.]

[broceanic]

I didn't mean to... send that...

[archie says a little impotently, looking down at the crystal in his hand. his nose wrinkles, annoyed at what he's just accidentally put blue through. he clenches his fist, then throws the amulet out his window.

...


shit. he needs that.]
