[ an ace trainer stands on the boardwalk between violet city and sprout tower— feels like the perfect place to start a run for the morning! as the faux blond adjusts his screen, he tilts it down to reveal two fox pokémon— a nickit and an alolan vulpix. the latter is lazily stretching its front paws to knead at the ground while the former is just preening its pristine tails. ]

Guys— Look lively. [ it’s more an authoritative request than a friendly jest; the nickit jumps to show “i’m alive!” while the vulpix . . . turns its snout in the air and gives its back to him. ]

Ah— [ okay time to quickly bring attention back to him! as if that didn’t just happen! with a hand up and a smile!: ] Hey! Name’s Atsumu, I’m a new Ace Trainer, and lookin’ for more foxes. If ya’ got extra eggs just gathering dust, lemme take ‘em off your hands! Got the cash to pay up. I’m kinda buildin’ a team theme here and I ain’t gonna mind doubles. We’re even takin’ some practice matches if you’re in the Violet City area, cool? Might even head to Goldenrod for some shopping.

We’re gonna be a top notch team out there.

[ and just as he tries to shut it off, he grumbles, but hushing: what’s yer damn problem, snow white? ]

I'll say again... no.

[A broad hint of warning in his voice here. Life was nice and calm here in the world of weird monsters that like to fight each other. He really didn't want to have to ruin that calm with actual violence.

His eye twitches.]

Iwaizumi. My name's Iwaizumi Hajime.

[foxsets]

[ yikes. he was like aran and kita put together. ]

Nice to meet’cha. [ a casual little. awkward wave, right there. there’s no real reason for tsumu to be hostile, right? he’s not! usually. he holds his hand up in mock surrender. ] —Look, if anyone’s gotta hear no, it’s the other guy.

[toughlovin]

He'll get the no, too.

[He takes a deep breath, lets it out slowly... and relaxes. A little.]

Nice to meet you.

Sorry, I'm a trainer too, so no eggs to give.

[foxsets]

Eh. Figured.

[ it's fine. a little redundant though, but considering the real no here was for something else entirely, atsumu will take it. if the bargain is held. this dude is scary when he's mad. he can catch the vibes. ]

So, what position didja play before training?

[toughlovin]

Wing spiker.

[That was enough of an answer, right?]

You?
