"Bwahaha!!"
More laughter echoes through the room as Archie plucks a Pokéball from the belt clip. He tosses it into the air, and out comes his Muk. An unpleasant aroma fills the air as the Pokémon cries out angrily.
"Wouldn't dare dissapoint now, would I? Who d'ya take me fer?"
A wave of his hand, and the Poison-type starts preparing a Sludge Wave to toss at the opposing Sylveon.
Of course he does.
Again, maybe she should be scared. Maybe she shouldn't be staying here and responding to his laugh with a chuckle of her own. Maybe she should just leave and leave the world saving situation to the Champion.
"Kind of expected that, yeah!"
Her PokèBall was thrown in the air one last time before she finally released her Sylveon, who laaaazily stretched as soon as he landed on the battlefield-to-be. So calm.
"Try to be at least a little bit better than your grunts, okaaaay?"
will get to those flower asks after I watch a shitty shark movie with friends btw!! ))
"Why are ya so tense?"
Jeez dude. Calm it with the bouncing. It's making him nervous too at this rate. "Fiiiiine. But yer not gettin' my Aqua lore either."
Doubt he wants it, but still. Archie's quiet for a bit, just staring at Guzma. The fin wiggles slowly stop.
"...Though, I guess. If ya have any questions, this is your time to shoot 'em. I'll be honest."
Oh, fuck's sake. This whole bullshit is getting more and more tense every second, isn't it? Archie falls quiet for a few seconds, and those were enough for Guzma to return to get as annoyed as possible, a leg bouncing with clear nervousness.
What do you know? What the fuck does he wanna know?!
"I know what I know." he grumbled, dismissingly waving a hand "Oi, ya said to be nice, not to be besties. You're like, level -4 when it comes to friendship, ya ain't gettin' any hint of Skull lore dude."
he flares out and/or wiggles his cheek fins when he gets upsetti...
"Guess he jus' don' like me, then." Wouldn't be the first person who didn't like him in this house.
"But yer learnin' t'swim then? That's good. The ocean's nice f'r the most part."
"Yeah! That's him" she had a big smile on her face. "Though he diesnt seem to ba angry around me"
"I can prove it."
But will he get kicked out...
"Nah, not really."
swinging the bat at the beedrill's nest.
Oh he's pouting now? That's kinda cute, not gonna lie. He's lifted up by the shirt (kinda impressive), and just like he expected, Guzma returns the favour. Archie hisses too, but the grin never falters. That stupid, shit eating grin of his...
"Ya content now?"
He laughs. The bite stings for sure, but... He's had worse.
"Or can ya do better?"
WROSTIE I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.
The bite hurts, nothing to say about it-- holding in another hiss turned out to be much more difficult than he first thought. And it will leave a fucking mark. Ironically, that's what pisses him off the most--
--no wait it's the smirk. The smirk pisses him off the most.
Squinting, Guzma pouts for a few seconds as he finds the words. Considers punching those teeth off, but that would just be straight up pussy shit. Proof that he couldn't handle it.
Soooo. The free hand grabs Archie's shirt, pulls him in and returns the fucking favor. Fine. Explain your own bite mark on your neck, asshole. Two of us can play this game.
"...Are ya sure ya don't need me t'give ya some moolah?"
He's already reaching for the little bag he was carrying when he was found.
"I prefer nothin' fried. Allergies."
" Oh don't worry about that ! I can go get it. Whats your favorite kind?"
