I can light my hand on fire! Actually, I can light all of me on fire, I had to learn to just put it on my hands. And I can make fireworks! And I can do smokescreens now too.

[..........]

I'm workin' on the powering up thing you did during our battle. I can get it to work, that's the easy part! The harder part is makin' it really strong.

[feistytrader]

[...Gold too, huh?]

Looks like you're really picking up on this stuff.

[The chill isn't particularly subtle, but Silver tries to ignore it.]

[uncouthhatcher]

Well, I ain't gonna get left behind, you know? After seein' you in action during our battle, I couldn't think of anything I wanted to do more than learn that stuff so we could be on equal footing.

[There's a new warmth, different than the stuffy one before, and it's enough to push away the chill to surround Silver in much the same way that Silver's does others. Like the sun shining on you.]

I'll beat you next time, too, so you'd better be trainin' yourself -- it ain't a win if you're rusty.

[feistytrader]

[...The warmth is comforting, and he's a little surprised at how quickly it puts him at ease. He really is lucky, isn't he? He's lucky to have his friends around.]

Of course I am.

[There's no way he wouldn't. There's no way he would let Gold go without a challenge or fall behind. At the same time...]

But I can practice until I'm blue in the face. It doesn't change the fact that you and Crys can pick up on Dunamis a lot better than I can.

[It's a little self-deprecating, sure, but he sounds pretty calm and accepting of it.]

[uncouthhatcher]

So what? You and Feraligatr learned that secret move in like five minutes, Mr. Statue, it took me forever to get it down -- and I had help from the master herself! Call it karma or whatever.

[Only fair he has a leg up on Silver somewhere, honestly. But he still grins back at him.]

Sides, it ain't nothin' but party tricks as far as I care. When I can turn the floor to lava on purpose I'll call it a win over you.

[feistytrader]

You'll be able to eventually.

[But Gold's right, isn't he? They've all got their strengths and weaknesses, and that's why they make a good team.

...But more importantly-]

I can't believe that took you two months.

[uncouthhatcher]

[YA FUCKIN RUDE BASTARD]

I can't believe you were a freakin' rock and you still learned it, like that is such total bullshit! At least I know Crys got it fast because she doesn't know the meaning of a damn break, but what's your damn excuse?

[feistytrader]

I guess my ability to pick up on that kind of stuff is just rock solid.

[...That sure did come out of his mouth, um-]

[uncouthhatcher]

[..............

You know what.

He doesn't have to stand for this? No, they're gonna barrel roll, let's go Togebo.]

[feistytrader]

[...You know, his first instinct here is to cling onto Gold, so. Hopefully all three of them don't fall off here.]

That was stone cold.

[uncouthhatcher]

[Well. They won't, but they sure are hanging off of Togebo now!!]

Why the hell are you hangin' onto me?! Let go, let go! I don't wanna be around your shitty jokes!

[Get!! Off!!!!!]

[feistytrader]

[...You know, he could drop off and get on Honchkrow. He could! It wouldn't be much of a problem.]

I just want to hang out.

[Or he can keep making shitty jokes.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[why are you the way you are

Gold's groaning so hard, if he had known it would come to this he would've let Silver stay in his mood, god.]

Right us, Togebo, he ain't gonna stop.

[Togebo snickers, waiting a moment longer to really let Gold stew in his bad decision before righting them. serves you right you stupid ass!!!]

Anyway, I'm serious! What the hell were you thinkin' when you told Feraligatr to use Hydro Cannon? I wanna know your secret, asshole.

[feistytrader]

...I just focused on it. I didn't really have anything else to focus on at the time.

[In which peace makes me explain the biggest load of bullshit-]

[uncouthhatcher]

I don't know why I even asked.

[what fuckin bullshit]

... Think maybe you're just focusin' on too much now?

[feistytrader]

I think we were focusing on your fire.

[Which is a more pressing issue at the moment.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[STOP AVOIDING YOUR PROBLEMS]

Yeah, we were. But you ain't too happy about your shit, right? So while we figure out if I'm just a one trick Ponyta, we'll see about you pickin' up something new too.
