It's party time!

[mischiefbreeder]

Who: You, and you, and you, and also you. Aaaand maybe even you. You know, just to be nice. In other words, everyone!
What: It's a birthday party for Masaomi disguised as a beach party for everybody! And you're invited!
When: June 19th.
Where: The ocean shore!
Summary: So Gold came up with this idea where he wanted to throw Masaomi a birthday party, because that's a thing he tends to do. But he wants it to be more than just a party, so he invited in the village to the birthday party under the pretense that it's also a beach party!
Rating: PG-13 at best. If it get beyond that, take it off the comm!

I...suppose that's true. [The Pokedex does say that, so he can't fault Ash for using the Pokedex in that regard...] I guess for the sake of informing others about how untrustworthy they can be, then that is alright, but otherwise we shouldn't be giving them any more attention than that.

[That's because you don't know the true horror of these Pokemon like we do, okay.]

[friendshipfirst]

So y' mean I can't tell them anything about the Purrloin we met while we were traveling with Meowth?

[cilantro]

...Why would you want to talk about that Purrloin to begin with? That one definitely had quite a troublesome taste to it, just like many of it's kind.

[In case you forgot, it got us into a lot of grief when it tricked you guys into going into that dangerous mine shaft, even if it did do the right thing and help them out later. Best forgotten about, really. :\]

[friendshipfirst]

Why not? It wasn't actually a bad Pokemon. And its trainer was nice too.

[ Doing the right thing at the end is all that matters okay. ]

[cilantro]

That may be true, but her Pokemon still caused quite a bit of mischief for us when we first met it.

[...The trainer, on the other hand, he can at least agree was a nice girl.]

[friendshipfirst]

Yeah but so have a lot o' other Pokemon.

[ Cilan that argument is pretty weak admit it. ]

[cilantro]

Yes, well... [Irk, Ash, since when are you the one that's in the right--]

...Look, I just don't like talking about that particular Pokemon, okay? If you want to discuss those Pokemon with other people, fine, but to me those Pokemon still have an unfavorable taste to them, so I'd prefer not to dwell on them very much.

[COME ON CILAN IT'S JUST A CAT...]

[friendshipfirst]

[ Ash heaves a sigh. Cilan you're getting impossible even for your best friend here. ]

If ya say so Cilan. But I still wonder what caused you to hate them that much that y' can't even talk about 'em.

[ IT'S KIND OF WORRISOME.... ]

[cilantro]

"Hate" might be a rather strong word to describe this flavor, but I won't deny that I don't like them. And it's not that I can't talk about them, it's just that I don't want to talk about them.

["Can't" implies that he's literally incapable of doing so or even afraid of them, but that would just be ridiculous, he's so not afraid of them...as for that question of what happened to cause this, exactly--] Besides, I believe I already told you that I don't like talking about it the first time you asked me about it, didn't I?

[friendshipfirst]

But maybe if y' tried talking 'bout it more you might get used t' it. If you just avoid talkin' about it then it's not gonna get any better!

[ Though this extends to more than just the Purrloin issue let's just focus on that one yep. ]

You told me but I still dunno why you don't wanna talk 'bout 'em other than because y' don't like 'em for some reason.

[ AGAIN WORRISOME ]

[cilantro]

[...Hm. So in the future he still didn't tell his friends about it--not yet, anyway. Cilan's a little surprised for a second to hear those words coming from you though, especially considering...well. You-know-what. But Cilan is nothing if not ridiculously stubborn once he has his mind set on something.]

Even so, am I not allowed to have a few secrets of my own? Besides, I'm sure there are some things that even you have never talked about with me or other people, right?

[...Are we even talking about Purrloin anymore... 8|]

[friendshipfirst]

Like what? If I'm keepin' anything a secret it's 'cause I was told to keep it a secret. But if you just ask me 'bout something I'll tell ya.

[ Purrloin? What Purrloin. This isn't about Purrloin anymore. 8| ]

[cilantro]

[Cilan opens his mouth, as if he is indeed about to ask something...but then stops. Guess who just remembered that they're still in the middle of King's Game right now, and thus the other participants may or may not be able to hear them right now.

So instead, he shakes his head.]

Never mind. This isn't the time or place to be having this kind of discussion. [It's a conversation that probably needs to be had at some point, but not now, so he attempts to drop both this and the Purrloin thing from before...] Perhaps we should talk about this some other time and focus on the game for now?

[friendshipfirst]

[ Ash glances around a little. Ah, that's right they are in the middle of a game right now huh. Oops. Hopefully no one really heard them. He feels a bit bad for bringing the subject up in public now and nods his head. ]

Yeah, we can talk 'bout it later. Right now let's just relax and enjoy ourselves some more.

[cilantro]

Right. [And then watch as they never brought it up again until like a month later maybe--I MEAN] You know, I don't think you've done anything to embarrass yourself yet for your part of the task at hand, have you?

[For Hilda's request that sparked this conversation, he means...]

[friendshipfirst]

[ You mean more than a month because they still haven't brought it up again-- I MEAN ] Eh? Uh ... No, I haven't. I haven't thought 'o anything.

[cilantro]

Hm...well, I suppose I could reveal some of your embarrassing moments in turn, but...

[There's a beat of silence, and then--] But only if you're unable to come up with something yourself, that is.

[Giving you the option: do something that would be embarrassing to you now, or Cilan might start talking about...gee, I dunno, maybe the Elesa gym battle or some other instance of you doing something dumb, 'cause we're honestly not sure if anything embarrasses you as much as it does other people.]

[friendshipfirst]

[ Irk. He doesn't know what Cilan will say so better try to come up with something! ] Okay okay! Hold on!

[ Umm. umm.... Ash and Pikachu are going to stare at each other and have some kind of silent conversation as the two of them try and figure something out. Both of them seem to have come up with one idea but-- ]

..... Nah. That's not embarrassing. I mean, it happens all th' time. But I dunno what is embarrassing to us.

[cilantro]

Hm? What's not embarrassing?

[We're not psychic, we can't actually determine what kind of silent conversation you two were having just by looking at each other. But he is curious to know what this idea was that you both were thinking of...]

[friendshipfirst]

Umm, when an accident happens. Or when Pikachu or one o' our other Pokemon uses an attack and it hits us. I mean, I guess it was embarrassing when Charizard use ta use Flamethrower on me 'cause he didn't listen to anything I say, but not anymore.

[ Now it's out of ~love~ ]

But uh, there was that time when we had ta dress up as a girl.

[ And the time before that... and the time before that... and the time before that. But we're not going to be putting on any dresses on the beach. ]

[cilantro]

[...Yeah, uh, let's not have you injure yourself just to complete a King's Game round, okay?]

Yes, you did mention that before...wasn't it something about Iris having been the one to come up with that idea? [Cause whoops, Season 1 Cilan only knows about the princess dresses based on having found the dress once here in Luceti, rather than actually remembering that incident himself yet...]

[friendshipfirst]

[ But being shocked by Pikachu is nothing Yeah okay sounds good. ]

That's right. Iris made us put 'em on so we could go into this girl's only place. Pikachu and Pansage also had ta pretend they were female.

[cilantro]

I see... [...Wow, please forgive us Pikachu and Pansage of the future for putting you through that. Still, for a guy who just got told that he might be wearing (more) dresses in the future, Cilan's taking it pretty well at the moment.]

Well, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that we've worn outfits with unique taste before...but why was it so important for us to go to this place, if it was meant to be for girls only?

[friendshipfirst]

'Cause Iris wanted to go and get revenge 'cause they badmouthed Emolga and Snivy.

[ if Snivy was in the immediate vicinity she would probably nod and give that sly look of hers because that revenge was sweet but she's elsewhere right now. ]

[cilantro]

I see... [Wow, what a mature way of dealing with things, kids.]

I shouldn't condone the idea of "getting even", so to speak, but how did it go? Did we get to taste the sweet flavor of this revenge we sought after?
