Belated reflecting on our 2nd anniversary

[battlestandby]

[Paul's at the beach again, but he isn't training is Pokemon or anything. He's sitting by the shoreline with Torterra chilling with him on the left side and Weavile on the right. Evidently they've been sitting there for several hours, with Paul's cheeks looking pretty red even though he was smart enough to use sunscreen at the beginning of the day

[Ash is standing a couple feet away, and just listening to Paul sing.

... whatever it is he's singing.

Despite the oddity of hearing Paul sing, he's proud of not!son.]

[battlestandby]

[Odd and wonderful and horribly unfitting but it makes Paul's Pokemon happy, so Paul will do it only one more time before giving his Pokemon more pettings and letting out something resembling a laugh.]

Okay, that's all you get. You never know who might be overhearing us.

[notinmtsilver]

[Well, at least it was only not!Mom!]

Hey, Paul.

[battlestandby]

[gggdfgjgjfskg goddamn this being nice and considerate to his Pokemon BS dsakfjsdfjsdfd]

... Ash.

[You just get a stiff nod of acknowledgment.]

[tsuuuun]

[Finally he's not sick from that stupid vaccine anymore, Green he's going to beat the shit out of you, today is time to go back to training and-

...Paul what are you-

Are you singing again?]

[battlestandby]

[Singing and getting rid of that past that kept holding him back! How about that?]

[tsuuuun]

[...Well, it's a little dramatic and sappy, but whatever works] Paul?

[battlestandby]

Ah--

[fffffffffffff]

... hi.

[awesome_trainer]

[Oh look, it's Paul.

And he's...singing.

...Huh. Don't mind us for now, we're just gonna watch and listen curiously.]

1/2

[battlestandby]

[You'd be amazed how well he can make a girly 80s song sound good with that deep masculine voice of his, Jun. He'll laugh a bit after he's done and give his Pokemon the proper headpats, still not noticing Jun.]

Okay, okay. Enough. Last thing I need is more people knowing about-

[Weavile's awesome senses pick up on Jun easily, as he looks over in his direction with a derpface.]

[battlestandby]

... Weavile? What are you...

[Paul's following the gaze and OH DEAR GOD.]

[awesome_trainer]

[Oops, he's been spotted. This is what we get for eavesdropping isn't it. Have a sheepish wave.]

Uh, hey Paul! I didn't know you could sing!

[insultyoulater]

[battlestandby]

[Weavile's quick to notice Umbreon's presence, which Paul notices Weavile noticing, and... yeah, we recognize you, girl.]

Ah... Umbreon. Green's not too far away, is he?

[insultyoulater]

[battlestandby]

[And Paul will be nice and give you many pettings, Umbreon!]

Ah... he's probably busy, right? Being a doctor and a real father now...

I always meant to have Jerkya meet Paul again

[mr_neutral]

[He's wondering if he should take back calling him a Scrafty all those months ago, but he can't say shit about singing questionable songs to his pokemon in secret. Or maybe he can as long a he works hard to not get caught himself--it's not like Paul is necessarily bad at it.

Snerk. Both in amusement but a little bit guarded. He sees a bit of himself in this situation--a gut feeling.

He's a little older than when you first met him, Paul. Not so much taller because he's not blessed with height, but its something you can just tell okay :| He's also in a black tank top himself, but with long pants instead.]

Always a pleasure to reunite with another jerk!

[battlestandby]

[Paul's oblivious, but Weavile has mad hearing skillz and he's quick to spot an observer. Once Paul's done, Weavile tugs at his sleeve and Paul just stares at him.]

What is it?

[Weavile points in Touya's direction, because he just loves getting people busted. Paul's none too happy about this, too.]

Oh, great.

[...]

... Who were you again?

[mr_neutral]

Touya, we met over destiny knots many months ago. I don't remember your name but I remember your eyebrows.

[battlestandby]

Oh, that thing. Hmph.

[Always with the eyebrows...]

I'm Paul.
