generalflirt)
What: An important meeting between Senior and Junior.
When: January 9th
Where: The Forest
Summary: Masaomi seeks guidance from one of the most senior Pokémon trainers after a recent losing streak.
Rating: PG

[It was typical, of course, for Green to be in the forest and training. He had a set schedule, after all, even if his training spots were often a bit varied. Lately, despite the bitter cold, Green had taken to dressing lightly and using a wooden sword himself, practicing his own skills that he hadn't trained as severely since he was a very young child.

He'd swing at his Rhydon to raise its maneuverability, he'd strike at Charizard to teach it to react instead of flinch, and he'd have Scizor train him to be faster and parry blows better. It's important, after all, for a trainer to get more involved - even if Green has been training since childhood.

Masaomi would likely find him along the water today, wearing a t-shirt and light pants and practicing with Scizor at the moment.]

Give me your Pokédex. My grandfather's legacy - one you will not be getting back until you have earned the right to be a Pokédex holder.

[It's grandfather's legacy that stands out to him there. If it's a matter of family, he's not going to be able to argue logic here. It's some sort of emotional thing he can't touch. Though it does make his frown deepen, he goes into his back pocket to pull out the device and hand it over to Green]

[Green takes it, opening his fanny pack and putting it in there next to his own.]

My grandfather didn't give these out to just anybody, you understand. These were given to the absolute best trainers, who had a deep bond with and love for Pokémon long before they even took their first step on their journey. Only for trainers who showed the promise of becoming something truly special amongst Pokémon trainers, who would do good for the world instead of selfishness.

Yeah, yeah, righteousness and valor, we get it. [With a little hand wave. It's really that he doesn't want to hear it - again - about how inadequate he is. Or at least, that's what he hears. Still, in that context, he can get why it would be taken from him.]

And this is your final warning. If Linda lashes out and you lose control once, she's gone. I'm taking her away regardless of your wishes, because that is not nearly as important as protecting those who don't have the means to protect themselves.

You already spelled out that point. [He does well to try to hide his wince, but really... it doesn't work all that well for the moment because he's no on edge]

I'm letting you know what your lines are. I know you can be better than this. I know because Gold picked you himself. It's time for you to live up to that expectation.

[No, Aitaro did. Still, maybe that will counts for the same thing, and he doesn't mention the nuance as he sees it]

Sir, yes, sir.

[There's only a little dryness in that]

...Go home. I'll see you next week. Until then, get in the habit of waking up at dawn.

[Since that's when Green gets up.

He walks away, back to the village.]

[He nods, but he just stands there, watching Green and presumably his pokemon go. He'll go soon enough, of course, but right now, he needs to sort out what he even feels before he can be in a position to talk to people again. Still...

Well, nothing he can do.]
