❀ 3rd Konpeito ❀ [Video/Action]

VIDEO

[Who's the most terrible trainer in the world? Saionji Hiyoko, that's who. In any case, she's staring at the video screen, a Vaporeon sitting on her lap. And both of them looked pissed as hell.

Hey, it's not like Saionji didn't even notice Naoryuu was gone!... Okay, yeah, she didn't. But that doesn't change the situation right now.]

When I find out who took my Eevee and forcibly evolved him into a Vaporeon when I wanted an Umbreon, I'll have you publicly stoned! Since execution isn't an option here, I'll have to do with torture. You won't get away with this, slimy pig!

[And, video off.]

ACTION

[Said Vaporeon is currently paddling in the large pond behind the Gym in Violet City. Saionji is sitting at the edge and pouting. Her Petilil is hopping up and down the road bobbing sweets and biscuits on its head from... god knows where to Saionji, but always ends up having to go back to town for more because it gets splashed in the face and dragged into the water by the Vaporeon frequently. Saionji doesn't seem to care much.

...Approach?]

Comments

[bertall]

Mm...

_{[He pauses to let her words sink in, then he moves his Ninetales a bit so he could draw his legs up to his chest.]}

You know, where I come from it's people like you that need people like me. Without soldiers, you'd probably get eaten because the monsters in my world don't care whether you're rich or the best baker or tailor in the world. To them, you're just food.

...You're even dumber than I am if you think that's stupid.

[konpeitoqueen]

Are we in your world now? No, we aren't. This world sounds closer to my own; we don't have Pokémon, but we have humans, and we have hierarchy and society! If anything applies in the end, it's the current world, anyway.

[...Worlds like that exist, though... that doesn't sound very pleasant.] See? The problem with some people is that they're just stupid. You can't recognize that friendship is a weakness! As if I'd need to associate myself with any weaklings.

[bertall]

We have the same thing in my world, but I don't think the king has ever shown himself to people outside of Wall Sina. <sub>[Man, if this is how all nobles are--wait, Alfred's sort of nobility, isn't he?

He's frowns to himself.]</sub> It's not a weakness. If it wasn't for my friend I don't think I'd have survived as long as I did back home.

[konpeitoqueen]

I'd think you're getting 'allies' and 'friends' mixed up. They've allied with you and helped you, but they're gonna go around expecting the same, aren't they? And they'll just want more and more and more...

Or, maybe your world is just strange, and you're having adaptation problems! Get over it, then.

[bertall]

You're wrong.

_{[He trusted Reiner with his life, even if things were a little weird right now. How could anyone even suggest something like that...?]}

I think you're the one who's having trouble adapting.

[konpeitoqueen]

[OH SNAP]

Humans stay the same- it's not like life is drastically different, like yours, we just have Pokémon and no death here. That's just even more excuse for humans to be selfish! No real consequences? We're just sitting ducks to anyone who wants to mastermind us into their trap.

I think the odds are that you'll be one of the few naive fools who get tricked first!

[bertall]

I think you'll be too absorbed in your own world that you won't even notice when you've walked into their trap if they even have one.

_{[Look who's growing a spine!]}

Or maybe you already did.

[konpeitoqueen]

[She would be proud, if it wasn't directed at her.]

You've got no right to say that, you dumb pig! Maybe you dealt with monsters that everyone knew, but I've lived with monsters that put on human faces for years! If there's anyone here who knows how to stay away, it's me!

[bertall]

They don't need to eat people to be monsters. For all I know, you could be one too.

_{[Bring it, Saionji.]}

[konpeitoqueen]

I know that perfectly well.

So what if I'm a monster in your definition? I'm living perfectly fine this way.

[BULLSHIT]

[bertall]

Are you?

_{[BECAUSE HE DOESN'T THINK SO JUST FROM THE WHOLE VAPOREON-UMBREON THING.]}

[konpeitoqueen]

Of course! I have allies, and loyal Pokémon. After I work my way to the top and capture the Legendary Ho-oh, I'll have the world under my thumb!

[SHUT UP YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING]

[bertall]

--assuming you don't fail the first part. Do you even have any badges yet?

_{[Maybe they'll get lucky and Ho-oh'll eat her!]}

[konpeitoqueen]

...I'll have a badge soon.

[SHUT UP SHE'S WORKING ON IT]

I've only been here for a month, so shut your face! I'll be flying above you all before I hit my growth spurt.

[bertall]

...Even the talentless idiot you're talking to has some.

_{[HA HA. He's still pretty sore about this entire thing but he'll just whine to Alfred about it. For now? He's just going to stay behind his own little wall of emotions and poke at her.]}

I'd like to see that, actually. I've only met one person who was taller than me.

[konpeitoqueen]

That's not fair! You've probably been here longer, so it's not a good comparison! When I catch up, I'll beat you in no time at all.

[...Actually- yeah, when she looks at Bert, he looks kinda tall.] Ehhhh? How tall are you?

[hint: saionji is shorter than goddess]

[bertall]

Or maybe I'm just a better trainer.

_{[Tall enough to use her as an armrest--]} Six-four, almost five. I've been six feet tall since I was about thirteen.

_{[Tinier than the 104th's tiny goddess!]}

[konpeitoqueen]

Or maybe you're grasping at straws to prove yourself better when you're just a lump of trash.

Six... four- use the metric system, dumbass! I'm Japanese, isn't it obvious? [saionji i hate to break it to you but you're blonde

15 whole cm tinier]

[bertall]

Maybe you're just jealous.

_{[Japanese--? Oh, that's one of those countries from another world, right? Man, she doesn't look like Mikasa though... Weird. Give him a couple seconds to punch that into the 'gear to figure out how it converts.]} Not really, no. Ah--192cm.

<sub>[That's

that's a lot, isn't it.]</sub>

[konpeitoqueen]

As if I'd be jealous of-

[DID YOU SAY 192-]

-what. No, you're lying. [HE CAN FUCKING CRUSH HER JUST BY FALLING OVER JESUS CHRIST] Stand up to... a board, or something! Prove it!

[bertall]

I have a Feraligatr that's about seven feet tall, uh... Would that work?

_{[HE'S NOT SURE HE COULD FIND A BOARD LONG ENOUGH.]}

[konpeitoqueen]

...Fine! Just do it!

[WELL FUCK IT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO MESS WITH THIS ONE]

[bertall]

Okay, okay--!

<sub>[Give him a second to fumble with a Pokeball and call out his Feraligatr, then he's propping the 'gear up against something so he could go stand next to it--well, under its jaw.

The Feraligatr on the other hand just sees her trainer's head as a very nice chin rest.]</sub>

H-Happy now?

[konpeitoqueen]

[WHA-]

What did they feed you?!

[bertall]

Bread? Things like that? I-I don't know, it's just food!

_{[WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK HIM THIS.]}
