"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?"

Hmmoh. [Blue sinks into his huddle against his knees again, lips in a light frown.]

[He'd been doing plenty of reading too, but it was more directly about the fauna around here. While he was curious, researching the Arehtei and the myths surrounding them had been something he felt, for some reason, reluctant to touch.]

[Figures the guy who'd raised an ancient legendary before would be looking into it again, though. He doesn't say it.]

So what you're telling me is you... For you, it's still 3 years ago. [He gives Archie a sort of strange look, then away again.]

Well, I haven't heard of anything else dumb happening in Hoenn since then, if that makes you feel any better. [Sinnoh, Johto. But not Hoenn.]

[broceanic]

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]
