[ 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 can get that . . .

Well, I’ve got stuff to get to back home. I don’t mind the break if it’s for all this.

It's good to think of it that way. What sorts of stuff are you doing where you're from?

Pro-Volleyball player.

[ to be fair, he’s still in high school, ready to graduate from his third year— but he’s been scouted already, and it fills him with pride to say it. ]

Fresh outta school, y’know? But that took time to build up. Not even sure they even got sports here other than Pokémon.

Oh, wow! Going pro is no joke-- My older brother plays pro-basketball, so I've got an idea of how much work that takes. You're okay with leaving it for a little while?

Sports are pretty big in Unova, I think? There are small teams in Johto and Kanto too, but it's not as intense as it is back home.
