[Here's a Yu looking a bit worse to wear with some scratches, messed up hair and some dirt on his face. And his Emolga being nowhere to be seen, for once.]

Note to self. When they say Zangoose will attack a Seviper on sight, they do mean on sight. Even if it's yours, already battling something else and you're screaming "no" at it.

[But despite this, he does manages to smile.] But on the bright side... [He flashes his Boulder badge up to the camera.] I got it. Next stop, Mount Moon and then Cerulean.

[A beat.]

No, but seriously, be careful if you're looking to catch a Zangoose. They really do hate Sevipers.

Wait, really?

[Just writing...that down.]

I don't have either but that's....intense? So do you now have two pokemon you can never let out together?

[yu_hoo]

Oh no, I'm not stupid enough to try that stunt. I caught a Zangoose, and she went nuts when she saw a Seviper while I was training her, that's it.

[starry_forehead]

That makes more sense. I thought you meant you caught one and already had the other.

Is there like a reason the two pokemon hate each other? Or is just some weird pokemon thing?

[yu_hoo]

As far as I can tell, it's a mutual hatred going back generations that's pretty much instinct to both Pokemon.

So probably the latter.

[starry_forehead]

Huh. I wonder if there's other pokemon that have that sort of thing.

.....though if that were the case we'd probably get more posts like this, considering how many pokemon people tend to have.

[yu_hoo]

Yeah, I think just those two are enough for anyone.

[starry_forehead]

Probably. Especially if they're going to attack out of nowhere.

I bet someone tried to have two in one team at some point though....actually I should probably not mention that to Mabel, she might try to make two of them get along.

[yu_hoo]

Mabel... Is that a friend of yours?

[starry_forehead]

Mabel? She’s my twin sister.

Also super into animals and relationships. She would totally try to convince a zangoose and a seviper to be friends.

[Two years of schooling cannot keep Thida's texting from changing much, it seems.]

[yu_hoo]

Ah. Yes, better keep her in the dark for her own safety.

[yu_hoo]

[It's ok, he's used to weird texting. He also sends a picture back.]

I'm not sure that'd work. It's something much bigger than any individual pokemon, it seems.

o a snake!!!!!
whoa
has a tail blade too thats cool

if even snacks wont work then maybe they gotta talk
will talkin work

[Text]

[yu_hoo]

I think if talking it out could work, it'd be done already.

Not that I plan to catch a Seviper, anyway.

[starry_forehead]

And everyone else's. The last thing I need is to be roped into helping her get two pokemon into friendship lessons or something.

[Because he totally would end up stuck helping her.]

so
hm
its like





"in the dna"?????
think thats the term
we learned about it once

[Text]

[yu_hoo]

Yep. Apparently it's been going for so long it's instinct to them by now.

[yu_hoo]

Ha. Sounds like you've had your share of trouble over her.

[starry_forehead]

You have no idea.

[He's just really glad her crushes on people here haven't lead into the sort of stuff from back home.]

But then again in our world we'd just spent the summer getting into trouble in utterly insane ways so part of that might have just been it happening in Gravity Falls. Everything gets weird there.

[yu_hoo]

Hah, I can relate. Although in my case summer is when it ended.
