[Bakura stares openly at him, not bothering to hide his unspoken question at the reaction to what most would consider an adorable little fox. In Bakura's opinion it's a mean little anklebiter that has an unhealthy obsession with him for whatever godforsaken reason, but Radley shouldn't know any of that. So why that flinch?]

I don't see why that shouldn't be alright.

[He is definitely being set up, but not in a way Radley might be worried about. Bakura is planning on keeping his guise of an inept/actually a good guy team rocket member up for now, and the more to corroborate his story, the better. Having 'witnesses' is definitely an important step.

As if knowing that, his vulpix wriggles a little in response to the Eevee's question and simply strains up to try and lick its trainer's cheek. Looking back down, it snuggles against Bakura's chest and yawns, as if to say that they'll be doing alright even if these meddlers won't agree to help. 'Ghost' is all the fighting power its trainer needs!]

[Radley definitely finds Vulpix cute. He's thinking of getting one of the Alolan ones, actually. But he doesn't give any explanation for the brief, misplaced fear. He's not about to tell a stranger of his phobias about being burned or electrocuted.

He chuckles at the cuteness, but doesn't find that very convincing. Still, maybe he can do something to help without getting himself implicated in anything.]

Okay, you go ask him and try to catch it. If you're not able to and you get it outside, maybe one of mine can secretly send an attack at it that might disarm it.

[He's still not sure it will work.]

[Yeah, he's not going to do that. How stupid does Radley think 'he' is?]

That's the same as just going on my own, though, isn't it? If I've asked too much of you please just tell me, I won't think less of you. I know that dealing with ghost types is supposed to be tricky.

[chicken!]

[The kid seems pretty gullible, honestly. But Radley hadn't planned to abandon him.]

Honestly, I don't know if any of mine even have attacks that will work on Ghost Pokemon. If it doesn't work, they'll just attack mine.

[And he's not crazy about being seen with someone from Team Rocket either.]

Weren't you supposed to look like you were doing this on your own anyway? What if someone from Team Rocket is secretly watching you?
feelsgoodinyou: (Baku: Where was my thumb supposed to go?)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2022-07-08 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I can just tell the truth and say I got you to help me. They don't need to know how, right?

[But he sighs and shakes his head.]

It's okay. I'll manage somehow on my own, I think ice is supposed to work on them anyway... Thanks for talking to me rather than just assuming the worst.

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-07-08 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess.

[He sighs too.]

You seem too nice to be in an evil organization on purpose. I'll stick around and help if I can.

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2022-07-08 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's happened before... I was rejected and sent away for having 'evil in me', even though all I wanted to do was to help me friends.

So... I guess some things really do rub off, no matter how good I try to be.

[Radley raises an eyebrow at that. He's too tactful to ask if that was because of the possession talk in Battle City.]

That's rough. People have had prejudice about me too.
feelsgoodinyou: (do it my way)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2022-07-09 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
They do?

[He notes the tactful decision not to ask about his host's 'bad luck'. This man seems to worry a lot about how he himself might get seen, but doesn't seem to care too much about stigmas others might have. This could be worth remembering.]

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-07-09 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. So I mean, I do understand that, to some extent. Of course, I'm sure the specifics of our experiences are different.

[He's mainly concerned about him getting arrested, especially when this is a different world and he doesn't know how the legal department works here.

He supposes he'll have to try extending trust. If he was fully convinced this guy was on the level, there would be no hesitation and he would determinedly risk arrest. He's usually a good judge of character, but he's still leery here, both because of the uniform and because of Battle City. Still ... if this is for real, he really doesn't want to be prejudiced as others have been about him.]

If you want to talk, I'll be happy to listen. Or we can just try to get that Rotom. I'll do what I can.
feelsgoodinyou: (two in one)

[personal profile] feelsgoodinyou 2022-07-09 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh.

[He nods, not looking all that convinced. Bakura is confident that even his host would find a dodgy answer like that fishy.]

...Let's just catch Rotom. It's not something I like talking about anyway.

[Radley hadn't thought so. To him it would seem unkind to bring up the talk of possession himself. That was hardly a normal situation for anyone to be accused of. But who knew, maybe the kid would feel differently. In any case, he only wanted to establish that he also understood what it was like to have prejudice lobbied against him and would be a good listener, but mulling back over the conversation in his mind makes him unsure he handled it in the best way. If the kid really is on the level, he feels badly about that. He wishes he didn't feel suspicious. It makes him feel like a hypocrite.]

Yeah, I didn't think you would. And I'm sure you wouldn't wanna open up to a stranger anyway. I'm sorry if I'm not coming off well. All of this ... just took me by surprise. I love my Pokemon so much and Team Rocket really makes me mad, trying to steal everybody's Pokemon like they do. If you really wanna try to topple them, I want to help you.

[He prays he's making the right choice. He's still not even sure his Pokemon can fight a Ghost type, though. He tries to avoid them.]

[He stops for a moment, eyebrows going high with surprise. This guy... Maybe he's a truly good guy after all?]

Thanks! I still know so little about this place that I must be making a lot of trouble with it. Like, this whole stealing pokemon thing... I don't really get it, but I do see that it makes people unhappy so I'd love to help with that if I can! It's the best way of proving that I'm not bad like everybody thinks, too! I'm Ryou, by the way! Ryou Bakura!

[He offers a hand for a shake and- Sorry, but the Vulpix is hijacking the handshake.]
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-07-10 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think most people in any world get pretty mad if their beloved pets are stolen.

[He does have to chuckle at the Vulpix getting into the handshake. He reaches to shake the cute paw.]

I'm Radley.
