DEM'S FIGHTIN WORDS [Audio]

[tsuntrader]

[...You know, being all agitated and wound up because of the giant chain of kidnappings in house 11 is doing him no good. It's time for a change of pace. It's time for something important. Really important. So important, in fact, that he's pulling out his journal right this minute to bring it up until just waiting until he sees Gold. He would try to filter it to him, but whatever, like he cares.

So his journal is out, and for once, he's actually using his voice... Because he lost all his pencils. Whoops. Whatever, this is best said and not written anyway.]

Hey Gold, don't you think it's about time we had a battle? It's been way too long. [...No, too simple. Too friendly. Not... Challenging enough. Yeah, that's it.]

Of course, we both know that there's no way you'd beat me in a million years, so if you're not up for it, no hard feelings.

[That's much better.]

[shamelessness]

Then I'll be honored to learn from you!

[tsuntrader]

And I'll be happy to teach.

[shamelessness]

When should you and I meet?

[tsuntrader]

At least for a few hours a couple of times a week. [...That's not an immediate when, is it.] Other than that, whenever you're ready.

[shamelessness]

I'll always be ready!

[She is just really excited okay.]

[tsuntrader]

...Are you ready right now? [She did say always...]

[shamelessness]

N-now? I could be!

[tsuntrader]

Then come to the battle dome. [He... Posted during his lunch break, so...]

[shamelessness]

Sure thing! Have you eaten yet, Silver?

[tsuntrader]

...I was gonna go eat right now. [Or. Well. Feed his Pokémon, at least.]

[shamelessness]

I could bring food?

[tsuntrader]

[Food... From Shiemi? Maybe he shouldn't-]

Sure. Thanks. [Maybe he should.] ...Make sure to bring food for yourself, too.

[shamelessness]

I'll be over soon!

[And before he can reply she dashes away. And soon will be sitting at the battle dome with Skarmy and a couple bentos.]

[tsuntrader]

[Shiemi will be able to catch a good look at Silver battling...

... This guy. He's pretty big and definitely tough; the battle between him and Silver rages on intensely with immense amounts of fire, water, ice, the ground itself, and a bird going everywhere and and in the end, the victor...

...Is no one, because the simulation runs out. And Silver and his Pokémon who are hot, battered, bruised, and a little scorched come back out and start looking around for Shiemi. It was a good way to spend time while waiting for her, but... He really hopes he didn't keep her waiting.]

[shamelessness]

[She didn't have to wait too long. In fact she enjoyed watching. It was exciting to see all that go down.]

Did you all do well?

[She smiles at Silver and his pokemon, offering the trainer a bento box filled with left overs that Rin had made. You don't have to worry about Shiemi's terrible cooking. The box will include yakitori, soba noodles, shrimp tempura, rice, and mixed vegetables that have been pan fried. Honestly the boxes are pretty big, and she stuffed a lot in them, along with tempura and soy sauces.]

[tsuntrader]

You saw that? Sorry, I-

[...That... That all looks so delicious...]

[shamelessness]

It was really cool. I-I want to be that strong one day.

[tsuntrader]

Then you'll have to work hard. [No sense in making it sound like anything other than what it is. It is nice to know that she's not like Yellow, though. She actually seems interested in getting stronger and battling.]

[shamelessness]

I'll do whatever I have to!

[Skarmy, despite being in the middle of greeting Silver's pokemon, pipes up in agreement. A confident cry and some flapping of her wings is the skarmory's input on the subject.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Heh.] That's what I like to hear.

[shamelessness]

A-and I'm ready to learn whatever you have to teach! There's a lot I don't know.

[Like type advantages.]

[tsuntrader]

What do you know so far? [Even if he usually doesn't talk while he eats, this is a good conversation to have.]

[shamelessness]

I've learned a lot of her moves, what kind of foods she eats... and she doesn't like fire.

[tsuntrader]

[Well, let's start with types, then.] She won't like electricity either. Those are her two weaknesses.

[shamelessness]

S-so that's why she didn't do so well against Masaomi's Linda!

[Skarmy sort of makes an annoyed sound and looks like she's pouting.]
