[ See Nero. See Nero frowning, his mouth like a wire-thin slash across his face. He adjusts the gear for a moment before speaking. ]

Got fired.

[ Come to think of it, this is probably why he and Buster are out and about in the middle of the afternoon, when Nero would usually be working; now a big, thick-shelled Shelgon, Buster is scurrying after

[ Thumbs up. ]

Good job, Metal-bro.

You could always get a night job as a janitor or security guard or somethin'? Bet the train station needs night security.

[ Half-assed salute in return. ]

I do my best. Security guard sounds decent.

Well, if you're lucky, you'll get to beat people up and get paid for it.

[ Grin grin. She's got your number, Nero. ]

Hehe, keep your fingers crossed for delinquents and trainhoppers.

You gonna hang out in Kanto long? Do the Kanto tour before the rest of Johto, or what?

[ Holds up not one, but two crossed fingers with the barest hint of a grin. At her question, his expression switches to pensive. ]

Don't know. Depends on what Kyrie wants to do, I guess. I heard there's a Grass-type Gym close by, might go see what Red can do.

Stock up on antidotes, bro. Erika's got a bunch of Poison moves up her big fancy sleeves. [ This with a sage nod. ]

Yep. Beat the whole Kanto League back home. It's probably not exactly the same, but I'd still bet she's got some hardcore Poison moves.

Couple different ways. Sometimes I set up a team, like, specially equipped for them, sometimes I just beat them with my highest-leveled crew. Soloed the whole game four times, too, once with each starter and once with an Onix just because.

[ Cheeky grin. And yes, Nero, she just assumes you know about the game. ]
