What colour are yours? [ His own are white - but he's going to walk to Blue's side to look at his back! Meanwhile Pikachu is on the floor, looking up at Blue with a diiiirty look. ]

[toplevel]

[He turns a bit towards Red. Nothing surprisingly or special, they just come off as a pale, light blue]

Just y'know. Blue. They're so clever, huh.

[pokeboy]

[ ohh, nice colour. He hums a sound of amusement, and there's a bit of a smile on his face too, there when he looks up at Blue's face.

But it's much older that it should be, reminding him of that other version of him - the Green Oak. And just like he did for him, Red looks away, down to the ground and then over to Pikachu.

This is really really weird. And he sorta wishes it wasn't happening, for as nice of a feeling he was having there (somehow, regardless of all the annoyances that truly is Blue Oak). Was is he supposed to do with such an older Blue?

He rocks on his feet for a moment, from heel to front, 'till he glances back up, his voice a touch lighter- ]

...Have you seen my mom? Back home. ...is she okay?

[ There's not much he wants to know about the future, but her, his mother - that's safe. That's okay. ]

[toplevel]

Of course she's okay.

[He at least checks in on her, unlike SOME PEOPLE. So once that question is asked, Blue sounds pretty annoyed. He leans forwards, getting right in Red's face before giving him a flick on the forehead.]

But someone needs to come by and see her more. Do you know how lonely she gets without you around? Instead of sitting on Mt. Silver, whenever the heck you get to that, you better actually come down and see her more often.

I swear, you're so hard to manage sometimes.

[pokeboy]

Wha-?

[ He touches his forehead, all happy feelings totally gone and puffed cheeks replacing them. In repayment Red shoves Blue back! Stop getting in his faaaace. ]

What are you talking about? I don't have any idea what you're on about at all. [ seriously man ] A Silver what?

[toplevel]

Of course you wouldn't know yet.

Listen, okay? You decide that, for some reason, you need to get stronger. And with your little pea brain you decide the best way to do that is to climb a mountain. Mt. Silver. It's between Johto and Kanto.

Which I guess would be fine if you, y'know, actually came down regularly.

[pokeboy]

[ ...............




...

??? ]

Isn't Mt. Silver the big snow mountain? What's up there?

[toplevel]

How should I know? You're the one that decided one day to up and climb it. Not me.

You were going on and on about becoming stronger.

[pokeboy]

[ oh..... that sounds good...

...but... ]

...Well, whatever, I can't do anything about that. But you shouldn't be telling me this stuff! You're spoiling it! I don't wanna know if I climb a mountain in the future or not... that's just weird to think about!

[toplevel]

You asked about your mom, so I told you about your mom. And why you aren't around.

[Another flick.]

Which you need to be, considering how worried she gets about you.

[pokeboy]

-- I'll kick you if you keep doing that, Blue!

[ stop flicking hiiiimmm!! ]

If my mom's okay, then that's all that matters! So no more future stuff, okay?

[toplevel]

Stop makin' it so easy, then.

[Which gets a laugh from him, followed by a smirk.]

So you don't wanna know about how I kept beating you?

[pokeboy]

No way! Like I'm going to believe you about a thing like that.

[ He's young, not stupid!!! ]

I bet you can't even climb Mt. Silver yourself, anyway. 'fraid of getting a chill or getting your butt beat before you get to me?

[toplevel]

[It's both, really.]

Wha-- like hell. Why the hell couldn't I climb it?

[pokeboy]

[ get out ]

'Cause. [ And hands on waist! ] You're not as good as me and my pokémon. We're way more committed!

[toplevel]

[never]

Yeah? S'that why I managed to make it through the Elite Four before you?

[pokeboy]

Wha? [ pout!! ] That's got nothing to do with it! And I told you, no spoilers!

[toplevel]

Yeah? How much don't you know, then?

[pokeboy]

I don't know! [ folding his arms!! ] I was hanging around Fuschia before I came here!

[toplevel]

Wow, really? Boy, you are missing out on a lot...

[That gets a laugh out of him.]

Man, I kinda wish it was still around that time for me. Bein' a kid... man, those were the days. I didn't have to do anything.

[pokeboy]

Are you forgetting stuff already, gramps? We were helping out your grandpa with his work! We were doing stuff all the time.

[ or Red was tyvm. ]

[toplevel]

Man, don't even talk like that was work. At least that was a little fun trouncing you all the time.

Come back to me after you've entered the adult world. That's when the work really starts. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I'm doin' now.

[pokeboy]

I can believe you're doing nothing worth acting like a grown up over.

Come back when you're actually an adult and not a kid, kid.

[toplevel]

Yeah? You try runnin' a gym then! And visiting the other regions. I've got plenty to be an adult about, squirt.

[pokeboy]

Hah! You're running a gym? [ Red puts his fists onto his sides, grinning slyly. ]

So what about that Champ title you bragged about getting, huh? Couldn't you beat Lance in the end? Sounds like you went for second best!
