Chalalala-cha-cha-chaaaaaaa!! ♪

Hokuto leveled up! I'm the proud owner of a Poliwrath now~! Man, evolutions are always so dramatic, aren't they? Well, okay, so he picked up that Water Stone and smacked it against his own forehead, but still! It's the results that count~!... now all we have to do is find a shop that can fix guitars and we'll be all

H-H-Hokuto evolved?! Uwaa, I'm so happy for you, Kona-chan!

[konatamer]

Yup! He evolved! He can break bricks with his fists now!! He's a fightin' tadpole! Truly the Fist of the Southern Cross~!

[playthatguitar]

That's wonderful! You'll have no problem beating the Oreburgh gym leader now!

[konatamer]

Thanks! Hm hm hm... water and fighting! A wedding of rock's greatest weaknesses!!

... well, I WAS planning to hold off Hokuto's evolution for a while, though.

[playthatguitar]

Perfect, Kona-chan! You're all ready for a wonderful battle!

Oh... How come?

[konatamer]

Well, y'know, I'd wanted to save it for a super-dramatic moment. Like if Hokuto was on the verge of getting KO'd during battle, I could totally go "HOKUTOOOOOO!!"

... and toss him the Water Stone.

[playthatguitar]

Is that legal?

1/2

[konatamer]

...

2/2

[konatamer]

... um, come to think of it, I'm really not sure.

But, you know, you see heroes do that kind of stuff all the time in dramas and anime, so it might be?

[playthatguitar]

That's true, but... just because heroes do it in dramas and anime, does that mean it's okay in real life? I mean... we aren't heroes!

[konatamer]

Um, well- it's all about romanticism, Yui! Romanticism!

... not that I really want to get penalized during a gym battle.

[playthatguitar]

...Romanticism...?

[konatamer]

Yup! I'm not sure if that's the right word, but it's all about finding the romantic in any situation! Being adventurous! Idealistic! Kicking reason to the curb and trusting your gut instinct!!

It doesn't matter if you win, lose, or fail, as long as you look cool or awe-inspiring while doing it~!

[playthatguitar]

But... where's the romance?

W-wait! You aren't... you aren't in love with Hokuto, are you?!

[konatamer]

Ah, no, that's just part of the word. You know, because it kind of hearkens back to a romance of the good old days, like the Wild West or the medieval era, or-

... heh?

[playthatguitar]

...So you are?!
