your older self is the best influence

[strayshota]

[ Today Proton is smiling, island. To those who know him, big or small, this just seems wrong. It's not a creepy or leery smile like when he's cutting things up or lopping tails off - but an honest to goodness, happy smile. ]

[ See, he's proud of himself - if you were here a little earlier, you'd have seen his battle with this pokemon as his older

[...there is so much wrong here that he doesn't know where to start

but then, this kid is a real weirdo]

...hey. You alright? You're kind of bleeding all over the place.

[...maybe that is an exaggeration, but]

[strayshota]

[He's got a cut on the cheek and a few on his arms, but other than that they're just minor cuts...they're just bleeding a lot. He scrambles up when he hears someone talking to him though, glancing over his shoulder.

...oh, his older self said to make sure no one saw things like this.

...oh well.]

I'm fine.

[2ndworststarter]

You look kind of beat up.

[aren't you overly cautious, too]

[strayshota]

[he'll hold out a pokeball.]

I was catching this.

[2ndworststarter]

...heh. Didn't you get on my case for wanting to go out and punch things into submission until I caught them?

[strayshota]

I used a tool, not my fists.

[2ndworststarter]

What tool are we talking?

[strayshota]

[Proton glances around quietly before taking a large black handle from his pocket, in an instant a large blade shoots out with a switch. A switch-blade.]

[2ndworststarter]

...that's not that much better.

[strayshota]

With my size and stature It's much better. I can pose a chance against a lot more threats than with my fists.

[2ndworststarter]

Yeah, I guess that's true. You don't look like you pack much of a punch. I actually do.

[strayshota]

Against a grown man? Hardly. [sneersneersneer]

[2ndworststarter]

Hey, we're not talking grown men here, are we?

Besides, that's what Pokeshivs are for.

[strayshota]

Shiv?

[2ndworststarter]

You stick a Weedle up your sleeve and you stab things with it.

[strayshota]

[...pfft. But...]

That works.
