(Meridiana, you probably want this one.)

"Ah, amore, it seems I've missed you; do leave something for me and we'll see if we can rectify that, shall we?"

[preybeforemeals]

...You weren't expecting me to be decent to you right then.

[There's nothing derogatory about it, just...kind of confirming.]

[deaftly]

Y-Yeah.

[He's been here for awhile and almost everyone's been nice to him. He should have gotten used to it by now, but he hasn't. It's still a surprise when people are nice to him.]

[preybeforemeals]

[He falls silent again, for a bit.]

It's going to be all right.

[deaftly]

[That's familiar, and not the sort of familiar that's going to get him to start crying again, thankfully.]

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

[preybeforemeals]

Good.

[...]

I meant what I said, though; you really should join me here.

[deaftly]

You're sure? I mean, I wouldn't mind but... I really don't wanna go out on the routes alone.

[preybeforemeals]

[...hm.]

...Do me a favor and go catch an Abra, will you? And then send it to me through the box system.

[deaftly]

An Abra? Why didn't you get one when you were here?

[...Apparently the abrupt subject change is perfectly fine.]

[preybeforemeals]

Because it didn't occur to me that I'd need one.

[deaftly]

Oh. Why do you need one? I can probably catch one for you.

[preybeforemeals]

You want to avoid the routes, don't you? I know how to manage that, as well as get you here in a fraction of the time.

[deaftly]

With an Abra? But they can only use Teleport!

[...]

Which... takes you back to the last Pokémon Center, but that'd be in Goldenrod...

[....................]

Unless you heal it there and send it to me--

[!!!!!!!]

Holy shit, that's fucking brilliant.

[preybeforemeals]

Isn't it just.

[Tsukiyama...]

I've been using that for months to bring people to me if they're relevant enough to my interests.

[...]

Banjou-san didn't get the courtesy, needless to say.

[deaftly]

You're such an asshole.

[HE SOUNDS REALLY PLEASED THOUGH]

I'll go get your fucking Abra and send it over right away. Goddamn, how many of those fuckers do you have?

[preybeforemeals]

Oh, I don't keep them, I just send them and leave them with whomever receives them.

...They're usually not terribly happy with being flushed out of the grass, captured and airmailed.

[deaftly]

Oh yeah, probably not--

[WAIT...]

Does this mean I'm gonna get stuck with a homicidal Abra!?

[preybeforemeals]

Ah, most likely, yes!

[TSUKIYAMA, NO.]

You could always give it back to me, if you'd like.

[deaftly]

Maybe I'll just let it go when I'm done with it... Maybe it won't kill me...

[YOU'RE A JERK, TSUKIYAMA.]

[preybeforemeals]

Honestly, it's probably going to be angrier with me than it will be with you - you're just catching the thing and putting it in the box, I'm the one mailing it somewhere.

[...]

...So it's going to know that it was captured, put in a box and then for some reason mailed back to you. I think we're going to confuse it...

[deaftly]

Oh well, that probably won't be that bad then!

[He's very good at confusing his Pokémon horribly and they don't seem to mind!!]

[preybeforemeals]

See? There we go, all's right in the world.

I suppose I'll be seeing you in person in a couple of days, then.

[deaftly]

Yeah, of course! You're gonna have to show me all the good dessert places!

[preybeforemeals]

Oh, don't worry, I wouldn't dream of doing otherwise.

[deaftly]

Great! I'll send you that Abra soon!
