[There’s the image of a shiny new Fog Badge being placed into an envelope.]

Well, that was less challenging than expected. Perhaps I should refrain from using you in battles, Diana. It seems you’re too experienced. We need to be fair after all.

[The Eevee scoffs and turns her attention elsewhere.]

[That’s right, after nearly a year of hiatus;

Your egg hatched!

[REALLY NOW WATARU.]

[usednastyplot]

[Seriously, Wataru? Seriously? Do you like it when Artemis intimidates you? Because you bring it on yourself.]

...

Yes. It has.

[Video]

[hasavision]

[Herp derp.]

...So, um. What are the names from?

[usednastyplot]

[It took this long to build up the little respect he has for you, don't ruin it!]

The first is keeping in theme with the naming scheme I already have in place.

The second is a play with words.

[hasavision]

Calluna...

[He thinks about it for a minute...

...Nope. It's quite beyond him.]

I don't get it.

[Video]

[usednastyplot]

[Dear god. Okay, Wataru. One last chance, because pushing your his limits.]

Calluna is the latin and as such is scientific name for the plant 'heather'.

[Video]

[hasavision]

...Oh! So like, the person?

[J-jumping to conclusions in a bit because he can see that look and he's desperate to please.]

[Video]

[usednastyplot]

[Artemis cocks an eyebrow, because he's surprised Wataru got it right but he can tell a lucky guess when he sees one.]

Correct.

Now can you tell me why it is a play with words?

[Video]

[hasavision]

Because... its name means Heather, and it's like the person Heather?

[Video]

[usednastyplot]

[That's a pathetic answer.]

Why is she like Heather?

[This is starting to feel like when he's tutoring his brothers.]

[sjfa;lkjdsfa]

Uhhh... Th-the freckles?

[Video]

[usednastyplot]

[Must. Resist. Urge. To. Slow. Clap.]

[A very long pause--]

Well done.

[Video]

[hasavision]

[Why do all of the conversations have to be so scary...]

...It's a nice name. I like it!

[Video]

[usednastyplot]

[Because you're too chummy with my little sister.]

It's a nickname.

Her name is Thallo.

[I just love messing with your head, Wataru.]

[Video]

[hasavision]

[sob]

O-oh. What's Thallo mean?

[Video]

[usednastyplot]

As I said, it fits the naming scheme I have set up with the others.

[His expression says he's not saying more than that. If you wanna know what her name means, look it up for yourself. Because Artemis is not explaining things to you all day, Wataru.]

[Think of it as an assignment. The reward is having Artemis' approval... Somewhat.]

[Super bonus points if you decipher his naming scheme! He might actually stop glowering at you! ... Sometimes.]
