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.]

[notinmtsilver]

C'mon, you don't have to tense up around me.

[hair ruffle!]

[battlestandby]

[ggg-gggghhh if anyone sees THIS you will die, Ash]

You... heard that.

[notinmtsilver]

Yeah, you're a good singer!

[battlestandby]

So I've heard.

[notinmtsilver]

Why're ya so grumpy? It's not like it's a bad thing.

[battlestandby]

If I could trade my ability to sing for the ability to keep up with the trainers here on the island, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[notinmtsilver]

It's still something you're good at, Paul. [geeze, appreciate the good things you've got.]

[battlestandby]

The most worthless talent a trainer could have.

[notinmtsilver]

Your pokemon seem to enjoy it though.

[battlestandby]

They did me a favor. It was a special case.

[notinmtsilver]

[... Looking over at your pokemon.]

They still liked hearing you.

[battlestandby]

[Torterra and Weavile look quite happy!]

So what?
