Pewter City

[zenryokubatankyu]

[So Osomatsu had taken to wandering around a bit, holding Snappy in his arms. This was a pretty average town so far - nothing sticking out too much, nothing--

Until he hard a familiar dejected sigh. Too familiar. His niichan senses were tingling. Snappy, sensing this tension, immediately looked alarmed, but Osomatsu bolted off towards the direction of the sigh. Seeing the source...he nearly tackled him, running in for a hug.]

Ichimacchaaaaaaan~~!!!! YOU'RE HEEEREEEEEE!!!!

Brother.......

[mychemicaldepression]

Just as Oso heard something all too familiar, so too did Ichi hear the signs of trouble coming his way. He whipped around in time to see Oso leaping at him. "You little-" And with that, Oso bowled into Ichimatsu and he lost his balance.

He felt his weight crash down, causing him to groan in a mixture of discomfort and annoyance. "Osomatsu..." It took a lot not to smack his brother. Well, it didn't actually take that much, mostly cause that required more effort than he wanted to expend right now.

hello little bro did u know i'm love u?

[zenryokubatankyu]

[Aaaand down they went. Osomatsu cackled, Snappy having already hit the ground nearby on its feet. He nuzzled into his brother affectionately, beaming.]

Ichi~ Ichi~ I didn't expect to see you here! I thought it'd just be Kara and I~!!! But it's not! You're here! For how long, huh? We shoulda met already...Kara's off on his own, but you and I, we can be a team! You wouldn't leave your niichan behind, right?

[Well...this was the Doll of Darkness, so who knew what he might do, really, but...]

love is exhausting...

[mychemicaldepression]

Ichimatsu grimaced, already trying to slowly separate himself from Oso as much as possible without putting too much effort into it. "Ugh... I just got here. Get off of me!" Though, at Oso's next proposition, his expression went from sour to scowling. "We're not a team!"

He looked at his Shinx. "Stay clear of him. He's trouble." It was unclear if his Shinx actually understood, but the Shinx just sat back, licking its paw.

you will survive

[zenryokubatankyu]

[He was squirmed away from, and this resulted in a huge pout.]

Wah...what? But I'm an experienced trainer...why would you hurt niichan this way?

We're not a team yet, but think about it - we could be...

[Pout.]

And I mean, Karamatsu ran off by himself. Do you really wanna be just like him? He thought he was 'too good' for my help~

our track record for survival ain't high

[mychemicaldepression]

Ichi scoffed as he pulled himself up into a seated position. "You'll survive." He brushed himself off as he looked over Osomatsu. An experienced trainer? Osomatsu and experience didn't coexist. He was the least accomplished anything Ichi had ever met.

"Kara's too good for everything... But I doubt it went like that." He eyed Oso, the unreliable narrator that he was. "Things never go well when you're involved."

gd pessimist c'mon you gotta BELIEVE

[zenryokubatankyu]

No I won't!!! [He rolled over onto his back, complaining.] I won't survive! My baby brother's heart has been closed and locked! It hurts! It kills the man!!!!

[He stared at his brother, upside-down, and continued frowning.] It did. We met at a department store, and he was looking around for painful clothes, like he does. I showed off my pokemon that my friends helped me get, and he tried to accuse me of stealing them like a criminal! And then when I told him what's what he stormed off! It took my friend later telling him the truth for him to eat crow.

And now I'm helping him a little, but it's sill not a team. He's wandering around with a depressed fish most of the time, anyway. The poor thing sounds like it sees nothing but misery. It made me depressed.

i believe everything sucks

[mychemicaldepression]

"Then perish."

Ichimatsu watched his Shinx bound over to him and get comfortable in his lap. Ah. Now he can never get up. His eyes leveled at Oso. Would Oso steal Pokemon? Mmm... He didn't really doubt it. Maybe he got them legit... but if it was revealed to be bull then Ichi wouldn't be surprised.

Ichimatsu shrugged. "If Kara wants to waste his time with a dumb fish, then let him."

you emo baby

[zenryokubatankyu]

Ahhhhh...I thought Totty was the heartless one!!! I thought Totty was the cold one! Little did I know! Little! DID! I! KNOW! The Spiteful Purple Demon of the Cold Tundra Forest!

[Point point point. He whined.]

I am letting him, but we could all do so much better together! We always do! Yet we're all branching...off....

[There was one of his worst fears hitting him again, and it showed by how his words trailed off.]

...Don't like that.

[He finished, quieter.]

calling me a baby yet you're the one whining

[mychemicaldepression]

Ichimatsu sighed. There it was. Oso always seemed so scared of the day when they inevitably moved on from each other. That's what people did when they grew up. Brothers weren't supposed to live together for forever. Didn't make it easy to leave home, but, he knew it had to happen. "Don't be a moron. Not like if we don't spend every day together that we'll all disappear from each others' lives." He couldn't get rid of Oso and Kara if he tried.

"I'm still not teaming with you, though."

BE NICE TO *ME*

[zenryokubatankyu]

[He hugged himself, his fingernails digging into his sides.]

It's unnatural to not. We six are the same. We're supposed to stay together...

[He sighed.]

Well, at least you're not trying to pretend that you hate me. At least you're just your normal self. Though...you need the motivation. I know you.

You've gotta challenge gyms and stuff. Don't you need support? I thought you would.

I'm the pinnacle of nice

[mychemicaldepression]

He didn't... hate Oso. His brothers just drove him up a wall. Could anyone blame him for acting spiteful towards them?

Ichimatsu shrugged. Motivation was... not easy for him, but he wasn't sure if Oso was the solution. "I can take things at my own pace." Sure, it might take him longer than others to move along, but, who cared how long it took?

i didn't know today was opposite day

[zenryokubatankyu]

And there it is, as usual. My pace, my pace. Well, I guess I can't move you out of that state, even if it might be like a glacier.

[Because trying to move Ichimatsu too much when he said 'my pace' resulted in things getting pooped on. Because that was his pressure response. Of course.]

I mean, as for me, I'm gonna beat all the gyms easy. I've even almost got a full team! And that team is gonna take me to the top~!

...Kara's trying to be a Pokemon breeder, instead. It's weird. Really weird.

it is opposite day, oso, you're respected

[mychemicaldepression]

Oso had the ambition to try and beat all the gyms? Ichimatsu supposed it was strange as Ichi deciding to try beating the gyms... But Ichi doubted Oso's competence in that pursuit.

"So what is this team, huh?" Might as well see his 'competition'.

fooled you. it is NOT. thank you for the TRUE COMPLIMENT

[zenryokubatankyu]

Fufufu~ should I really reveal all my secrets right away if we're not a team, Ichimacchan? I would...if we were a team. But. I'll let you see my two heaviest hitters.

This is my strongest...

[He beckoned to Snappy, who bolted over, having previously trying to stack rocks with its mouth.]

Snappy!

And my second...

[He tossed a Pokeball down, and out popped a Vulpix, who looked around, then seemingly grimaced at the dirty ground before Osomatsu picked her up.]

Charisma Legend~! Ja-jaaaaaa~!!!

... Really?

[mychemicaldepression]

A mouth with legs and a fox... He would've eyed them a bit closer, but then he heard that name. Well, that 'name'. Ichimatsu raised an eyebrow. "Charisma Legend is not a name. It's a ridiculous title. One a child would come up with."

YES REALLY

[zenryokubatankyu]

Osomatsu huffed, puffing out his cheeks. Charry let out a little halfway-amused snort at the dismissal of her name, before Osomatsu spoke again. "Fine, what did you name yours, then??? Charisma Legend is a great name! It's what she's destined to be."
