Action: Goldenrod City

[breakyourlife]

[Pretty creepy.

The Joltik peeking out of his hair is enough to catch Steve's attention anyway. He points emphatically at the tiny Pokémon, narrowly missing Roxas himself.]

Woah. Dude. You look like you have six eyes.

[missingache]

[Six eyes? Roxas blinks and looks confused. The Joltik remains balanced and so it looks like 4 of those eyes are stationary.]

Six eyes?

[breakyourlife]

Uh. Yeah. The weird little fuzzy guy?

[Wait. Does he even know it's there? Should he do something?]

It's not, like, mind controlling you, right?

[missingache]

Weird little-? Oh!

[Reaching up, he gently grabs a small little Joltik from his hair. Then he holds his hand out to present it. There we go. The source of 4 of the eyes.]

You're talking about my Joltik. He likes sleeping in my hair.

[breakyourlife]

[Steve eyes the little creature with trepidation, finally deciding to reach out a singular finger to touch it.]

Aren't you scared you're gonna crush him? He's tiny. You couldn't even win half a battle with him.

[missingache]

Huh? I've won battles with him before! [Joltik with meet that finger with a little leg poke right back.]

He's an electric bug type and a lot stronger than he looks.

[breakyourlife]

[Steve laughs at that comment, scritching the Joltik on his head.]

Yeah, right. Do you put him in bug battles? I bet he does great against ants.

[missingache]

No! In actual Pokemon battles-[JOLTIK HAS TAKEN OFFENSE TO THIS

Prepare to be electrocuted.]

[breakyourlife]

[Steve screeches as the electricity passes through him, teeth clacking shut as his entire body shudders. His finger is away from the offending Pokémon in less than a second, but he's going to be feeling that for a while.]

What the--

What was that for?!

[He sounds extremely offended. What did he do to deserve this?]

[missingache]

[Roxas lets out a long sigh.]

You offended him, and since he can't talk, he showed you what he could do.

[And Joltik will do it again, so show some respect!]

[breakyourlife]

[Frowning deeply, Steve shakes out his hand. He'd almost thought it was cute, in a weird kind of way, but this as definitely jaded his opinion on the little electric type.]

Train him better, Six Eyes. They aren't even allowed to attack people.

[He's not actually sure if that's true, but he's peed off and there is 0% chance he's at fault here.]

[missingache]

[Glancing from his Joltik and then back to the other guy, Roxas shrugs.]

I don't see why they can't attack people. How else would they defend themselves if a person attacks them? Besides, if you'd have insulted me I probably would have done the same.

[If his magic worked.]

And it's Roxas. Not Six Eyes.

[breakyourlife]

[Steve laughs at that, as though it's the funniest thing he's ever heard.]

You? I'm the Palchuk. You couldn't take me.

[Apparently he didn't learn his lesson about judging by appearances from the Joltik. He claps Roxas on shoulder, making sure to avoid touching his Pokémon.]

You're funny, kid. I like that.

[missingache]

[Roxas lets his shoulder be clapped as he raises an eyebrow.]

I don't have reason to fight you. So I'll let you think that right now.

[Putting the Joltik back in his hair, he shrugs.]

I don't know what a Palchuck is, but if you want me to call you that...

[breakyourlife]

Good call, short stack.

[Stop baiting people, Steve...]

It's my name. Steve Palchuk. The coolest guy in town.

[missingache]

[.............. Wear that name with pride like Sora does. Don't attack... At this time.]

Coolest? [Roxas looks him up and down with a very skeptical expression.] What makes you cool? You look like a regular guy to me.

[breakyourlife]

[Regular guy?! Steve Palchuk is far from a regular guy. He glowers at him, listing off the reasons he's better on his fingers.]

Um. I'm the Spring Fling King back in school. I'm on the football team. I'm friends with, like, all the coolest people. Plus I have the strongest Pokémon.

[Should Roxas know any of this? Not really, but that doesn't stop Steve looking at him as though all of this should be incredibly obvious.

Only one of these things actually apply here, and that thing is demonstrably untrue, but that's not going to stop him claiming it. His team will be the strongest team in no time anyway.]

[missingache]

I don't know what a Spring Fling is. Or what football is. [As for cool people... the coolest people he knows wouldn't hang around a guy like this.

Pokemon wise!!!]

Oh? What's in your team? I only have a Shinx and a Joltik right now.

[breakyourlife]

Psh. Nerd.

[Only a nerd wouldn't know what those things were, clearly.]

That's the little lion you've got by you? You know they've got magic balls you can keep them in, right?

[He pats the two pokéballs on his belt on his belt proudly. That's all he's got, too. He keeps going overboard against the wild Pokémon he encounters, so he still only has his two Rocket issued monsters.]

Mudkip and Stunky. The best there is.

[missingache]

I'm not a nerd! I've just... never been to school. That's all.

[Could have gone if he was still back home. Learned things. Done teen things. But he's here instead.

He looks uncomfortable at that as he eyes his Shinx.]

I don't like putting them in the balls. It feels too much like I'm trapping them... kind of like zoo animals.

[breakyourlife]

Woah! So you're like... the opposite of a nerd.

[Which should make him cool, but Steve just can't see that.]

Aw, they don't mind it. If they did they'd be way madder when you let them out.

[missingache]

Why is being a nerd bad? One of my best friends is a nerd.

[Pence is scary smart sometimes, and one of the best people he knows.]

I'd still rather not use it unless I have to. They don't mind running around with me like this.

[breakyourlife]

[Steve makes a face. Definitely not cool despite the lack of education.]

Maybe you should go to school. That way you'd know being a nerd is super lame. Only a real buttsnack would make friends with one.

[No one tell him nerd friends are in his future. He'd never be able to deal with the thought.]

What happens when you get more? You can't have six of them following you around everywhere.

[missingache]

I'll go to school when I go back home.

[Does not like the language you are using, no sir. This is a Disney you are talking to.]

And why not? I bet other people do it!

[breakyourlife]

You'd probably like it. Nerd.

[He's not exactly the sharpest conversationalist. He doesn't pick up that his insult contradicts what he'd said not even a minute ago. Luckily for Roxas, for a Dreamworks antagonist buttsnack is about as strong as the language gets.]

Yeah, like one or two. Not all of them.
