Yeah, then I can kick your ass too!! We can practice together though, its good to get a second eye while you're building it.

I would appreciate that. I think you would have a lot to teach me about competitions like this.

I've been competing all my life. Competitions are all basically the same. Work hard, be sharp and you're bound to succeed.

So it is not too different to traditional Pokemon training?

Nope! Just gotta stay focused and reach for victory. If you work hard enough and play to your talents there's no reason why you can't win.

I mean, besides entering the same category as me. That's a huge reason as to why you wouldn't win.

Do not dismiss me lightly, Yuri.

[ He's not deeply competitive but he does not like being brushed off. The last people to do that were the same people who raised him with a knife in hand, then seemed shocked when he turned the blade on them. ]

I dismiss everyone lightly, because I'm just that great at what I do. Plus, maybe you'll feel inspired and we can have a good hard competition!

I look forward to it.

[ Walter could see that Yuri had immense pride. It wasn't his place to really challenge that. He knew that prideful people simply would be so. But it seemed like Yuri was willing to show him how to take part, and he appreciated that. Being offered company was nice, especially if they could focus on training. ]

[Yuri's gonna be getting a simple package today, containing a decorative athletic tee with a Incineroar on the front.]

Happy Valentine's Day. Jinx said you like Ms Fortune. There's a gift receipt if it's not your style. Diana.

[There's also a photo of Ms Fortune posing with a piece of paper clipped to it that has a large paw print stamped on (they were gonna stamp the photo but her paws are just too big).]

[ Gross, thought Yuri when he realized who it was from. But.. the style was really nice... Too bad he didn't get the opportunity to try it on because it was stolen promptly by Altin.

It was a little tight around his fur so it fluffed out awkwardly but Yuri sent the picture anyway of him sitting and staring with adoring eyes at the picture. ]

My stupid bear likes it.

Awesome. I'll pass it onto the cat. She likes having a fan.

[The message comes late Friday evening after several days of Vanitas not even sending a text message to Yuri. The hum of the Magnet Train's engine can be heard as the video starts, clicking on to focus on a pile of sleeping Pokemon in the seat across from whoever is holding the 'gear. Scrapper is laying across the seat, head resting on her paws as she dozes, ears perked in a clear sign that she's ready to snap awake if she needs to. Flood is reclined against her, arms behind her head as she relaxes while Mr. Pickles curls up against her side in a ball of fluff. A small Klefki--a Pokemon that Yuri won't recognize--is settled on top of the Flareon, sleeping contently in it's nest of fur. Another newcomer, a Mawile, is also reclined against Scrapper with it's jaw-like head piece resting over itself like a blanket.

After a moment the 'gear is turned around and Vanitas is now in view, a tired look on his face as he manages a slight grin that fades quickly. Toppler is nestled on his shoulder, the Swoobat chirping at the 'gear before nuzzling against his trainer's neck.]

So..by the time you get this I'll be in Kanto most likely. I should have told you sooner what was going on but I didn't want to...look, I..

[He frowns and Toppler chirps softly to him.]

When I first got here, to this world, I woke up in Goldenrod, not New Bark Town like everyone else. I was apart of Team Rocket and have been since today. I didn't really think a whole lot of it and stuck with it because why the hell not but some stuff came up in the past few months and I decided to tell them to fuck off.

[They were abusing Pokemon. Simple as that.]

So I bailed. I'm heading to Goldenrod and I'm going to get Toppler and Flood de-chipped since apparently they've got microchips in them from Team Rocket. I'm probably going to get jail time or some crap like that but whatever. [A pause as he looks out the window, the frown he'd been wearing fading away.] I have to destroy my 'gear after I send this but I'll contact you as soon as I have a new one...please be careful, alright?

[He looks back at the 'gear and sighs softly, shoulders sagging.]

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, Yuri. It just took me awhile to..not be the same asshole I use to be, I guess. Phial should be meeting up with you in the next day or so. I sent her to keep an eye out just in case Team Rocket tries anything and if..if you want to head to Kanto, she can bring you to where I'll be, alright?

[For a moment he fidgets, clearly wanting to say something but he refrains, letting his head fall back against the seat instead as he sighs again.]

I really am sorry, Yuri.

[And there the video ends.]

So I ended up at a Pokemon dance party.

Don't ask. It was weird but fun? Pokemon are so weird.

Got a new Pokemon. His girlfriend wanted to meet you. So now you have a new Pokemon.

[Along with the note that had been attached to the picture of Vanitas and a rather cheery looking Cacnea is a pink Pokeball--is that a Love Ball?--that, when opened, will reveal a very friendly and musically inclined Maractus.

The note continues:]

Take care of her. Quickstep and I will try to be good until we see you guys again.

-V

[ A video arrives shortly after the Pokeball is opened. It is of a very cheerful Maractus having started a dance party among Yuri's Pokemon, even drawing Baba Yaga out to dance among them. ]

I named her Nita. She started doing this.

-Y

Yeah that seems about right. Quickstep is the same way. He even got Scrapper to tap her paws to the music.

Nita, huh? I like it.

I named her after you. Because we all know in your heart of hearts you just want to party.

That is such crap and you are such a nerd.

<3

Party down, you wild thing.

And don't die from doing something stupid.

I'll try not to.
