[A few minutes later Kisame walks up, grinning. Even without the sharky bits, he's probably pretty intimidating.]

A battle, eh? Sounds like fun. I could use a little more training, and so can my squad.

[Intimidating indeed! Larry's amazement shows on his face.]

Yeah! Are you gonna take on Falkner too?

[Action]

[usedgigadrain]

Not yet; we have more training to do first.

How close would you say you are to being ready to challenge him?

[Kisame is being pleasant and obviously curious for the moment.]

[Action]

[itsthebutz]

Close, I guess. I don't even know how strong his Pokemon are.

[usedgigadrain]

Shouldn't you figure that out? Not knowing your opponent's strength is a good way to get beaten.

[Kisame laughs] But we'll see which one of is closer, won't we?

[itsthebutz]

Oh yeah, you've got a point there. Only way to find out would be to battle him, huhn?

Y-Yeah!! [Totally not intimidated already. Totally not.]

[Be glad he doesn't have his huge-ass sword, Larry.]

Are you ready or do you need a minute to collect yourself?
