Vatheon, have you ever seen a big abomination of pink and white before in this underwater city? Or even at all? It's not so really big, but standing around in the shopping district, it still sticks out like a sore thumb. With

[He's just taking a stroll after buying some nice, healthy vegetables to make for dinner when Green spies the Wigglytuff.

Red doesn't have one of those, Green should know.

...Which means that another trainer has arrived.

With a weary gaze he looks around, gaze settling on Leaf. Smirking, he makes his way over to her.]

If it isn't Leaf.

[mint_bread]

[ She wasn't expecting a half-familiar voice to say her name. Leaf turns her head to the voice, then sits up straight when she sees him. Red's old old friend who caught the tsunflu! ]

Green? [ Said with a happy tone! ]

[sweetbean_bread]

Red is going to have a field day over you being here. Maybe he'll finally stop slacking off and help with finding an exit.

[He leans back and shoots Leaf a toothy grin. If she's here, it means that Red is going to bug him less. Which is a plus.]

[mint_bread]

Red's here too?! [ And that definitely makes her perk up. When was the last time she saw him? Well, it's been a long time since she's seen Gary, too.

The perkiness doesn't stay though, when she then gives a pouty face. ] I heard he's been slacking behind... he hasn't rang home at all!

[sweetbean_bread]

He claims that Mt. Silver's reception was horrible though he was probably just too lazy to call and tell his Mom that he's fine.

That's just like him.

[His voice is laced with his usual spite.]

[mint_bread]

He must've had plenty of times before that to ring home... I was so surprised when his mother told me he hadn't been in touch.

But his excuses won't work on me. [ And with a nod to herself, her face then lightens up. ] But oh... I don't even know what you've been up to either, Green. How far did you get?

[sweetbean_bread]

You know that Red is an insensitive idiot when it comes to his mother. Or anyone in general. He doesn't stop to think.

[The scowl may not show on his face but it's in his voice. Though Leaf's next question makes Green smile very smugly.]

Unlike Red, I've been productive. I've taken over Viridian Gym and am the Gym Leader now.

[mint_bread]

Red isn't that bad... [ Pout. But-- ] But wow, a Gym Leader, Green?

[ And she looks off a moment, a little silent until... ] ... I never heard about that.

[sweetbean_bread]

He is, Leaf. You don't have to deny it. [And yes, yes. Feed his ego with your praise, it tastes delicious.

...until she has that she hasn't heard about it happening.] It happened very recently and I've been working on the Gym's mechanics to make it better but it's officially open.

And I haven't lost yet either.

[mint_bread]

[ poor Green. No praise from Leaf. ]

But that's because you only recently began, right? And I'm not denying anything... didn't the two of you stop being friends because of this?

[sweetbean_bread]

[You wound him, Leaf. Wound him terribly!]

No, it's because I'm amazingly skilled. [Oh well, his ego is already big enough without Leaf's praise.]

... [Wait, are he and Red still friends? Are they not?] It's not like that! It's--... complicated, okay?!

[mint_bread]

... How?

[ how can a childhood thing be complicated. ]

[sweetbean_bread]

[That's just the way the cookie crumbles, Leaf.]

It just is, now stop being stupidly nosy!

[mint_bread]

[ Green's face is a crumbled cookie. ]

It's not being stupidly nosy when it's about my cousin!

[sweetbean_bread]

[At least it's delicious.]

It's still not any of your business whatever my relationship with Red is!

[mint_bread]

[ It's not satisfying. ]

It is when you two... when you...!

[ you know what, WHATEVER, GREEN. Leaf is now going into sulking mood and folding her arms. ] ... Nevermind!
