[That was definitely an angle that Tristan hadn't considered. Guess it was just fortunate that.. monkey see, monkey do. Through mirroring his friend it was likely that no Pokémon had been sent into an existential crisis. Even if the concern had been voiced, Tristan likely would have remained as blunt as ever if the way he spoke to Thunder Kid during that Capsule Monsters fiasco was any indication of his level of tact.
The expression wasn't lost on him, but was said also didn't make much sense to him.]
Joey, I know that we had to cross a few time zones here and there but that's no excuse for losing all concept of reality. What, do you think by acting like it was over a year ago you can smooth over the fact that you totally crashed and burned in the tournament?
[The incredulous tones in Tristan's voice were impossible to miss. He flipped one hand to the side as he continued to remain on the defensive]
I can't forget something that hasn't even happened yet, nimrod. [Ugh, just the thought of living on nothing but camping food for that long was a sobering thought.] You think I'm the one that has a problem? You're the one talking nonsense. I know you have some vivid dreams but you've never bought into them like this.
[That loosening of his pack provides just the opportunity a certain monkey was waiting for. As the two boys continue to confound one another Chimchar slips into Joey's pack.
This conversation goes of for such a duration that it starts to have Tristan questioning himself and his last memories. Placing a hand aside his face he gives his mug a rub as if it could clear his head.]
I definitely don't remember graduating. That would have.. kinda been a big deal. Maybe I could use some of that water.
[He starts to reach for the thermos but stops when the attention turns back to the missing mon]
I don't know.. maybe he went back inside his pokéball? [Can they do that on their own? Tristan had no idea. Visibly searching around the area, proves useless so he starts calling out for the little guy.] Great, it's just my first day and I've already lost my only Pokémon!
No worries at all. It's been a busy week here too
