[leaguechallenge]

[ oh goodness we forgot how talkative you are
but that's not a bad thing actually we get ronery up here ]

It is you! Hi, Ethan! You're back!

[blessyour]

I decided to come up the mountain and train again! And then I though, hey, I oughta bright up lunch, and oh, enough for the Champ if he's still around! And here yah are. [Ethan scampers over, Houndoom following after him to keep him warm in the cold mountain]

I hope it's still warm and all, though I guess my pup here can cook it all up again, haha.

[leaguechallenge]

You brought food? [ because. seriously. it could be ice cold and it would still be better than whatever he can get up here ]

[blessyour]

You betcha! It's, uh, vegetable and meat stew, with some biscuits and I got some tea in thermoses! I hope you like the black kind, it's nice and heartwarming-like! I figured yah could use it, bein'up'ere with the snow and all.

[leaguechallenge]

Wow! That all sounds really, really good! [ grabbing a thermos– ] Thanks, Ethan! You're awesome.

[blessyour]

[handing it right over! He chuckles and opens his own thermos, tasting it-- oh, yes, still nice and hot!]

It's no problem there, I really like coming up here and givin' you some company, though I guess yah can't be too lonely with all your pokemon up here, huh?

[leaguechallenge]

[ Red pauses mid-sip

dripping tea all over his chin in the process way2go ]

Y-Yeah, I have my pokémon... [ he puts a hand over his belt. they get cold outside their pokeballs for too long so he usually leaves them in when he sleeps. ] ...I do get lonely sometimes, though.

[fidget.]

[blessyour]

A-aww, well, I oughta just come on up here more often then! [hahaahaa, that's not weird, right?]

[leaguechallenge]

[ instantly brightening again ]

I'd like that. If you wanted to, I mean.

I was, um, thinking, though - maybe - maybe I ought to go home soon? At least to visit? I haven't...really seen my mom in a while...

[blessyour]

It's good to train up here! Lotta strong pokemon and all, I got to get good enough to finally beat you, after all! [said without malice, it was all fun and games to Ethan!]

And uh, that'd probably be real nice for your mom and all! I do like to go by and tell 'er how you're doin' after I've come up and seen you.

[leaguechallenge]

You're getting better all the time. [ smile! no malice here either. ] And how's, um...h-how's she doing?

[ we're kind of worried ok ]

[blessyour]

My girls are getting strong, they'll about ready to beat you for real, I think! [ALL FEMALE TEAM DEAL WITH IT.]

And your mom's doing alright, I suppose! She just misses yah, so I'm sure it'd be good for yah to go down and see her. My mom loves when I come home haha.

[leaguechallenge]

I - thanks, that's good to hear. [ he suddenly looks a bit melancholy, lowering his hand with the biscuit in it to rest at his side. Red seems to have forgotten the first part of your statement. ] It's been...it must have been a few years by now. I wonder...

[blessyour]

Oh--? That's quite a while, huh! Why don't yah go down more often? Maybe I'm just a momma's boy, I go and see my mom all the time.

[leaguechallenge]

[ Red shifts uncomfortably. ]

I'm just so sick of dealing with all the reporters and - and all those other people. Who only liked me because I was the Champion. They were creepy and I couldn't tell who even cared, or...

Anyway, um. If I go back, I'm afraid they'll start coming back to the house again, and Mom doesn't - s-she shouldn't have to deal with that. [ wringing our hands ]

[blessyour]

Aw, well, I think she wouldn't mind a few reporters, if that meant she gotta see yah more often! I mean, you could-- Oh! I gotta idea, I think it'll be good--

If yah don't like the reporters and such, I can go challenge the league on whatever days you wanna go home! Then they'll all be busy proddin' at me instead of yah're poor mom.

U-Unless yah think that'sa dumb idea or somethin'.

[leaguechallenge]

R-Really? No, no, I think it's a good idea! A REALLY good idea! You would do that for me?

[blessyour]

Yah sure bet I would! I mean, I haven't challenged them since a while back, and then I just barely beat 'em all. I'm so much stronger now, I don't think it'll be a problem at all!

A-and maybe. after, I'll finally be good enough to defeat you, too! Wouldn't that be somethin'? [excited! Determined! MOTIVATED.]

[leaguechallenge]

I know you can beat them! You nearly beat ME last time! [ and we are so excite for you!! ] We can have a rematch as soon as you get back, too. You're gonna be great!

[blessyour]

It's a deal then! [he puts his hand out to shake, not a proper promise without a hand shake!]

[leaguechallenge]

[ red will gladly take your hand!! blushing a bit as they shake on it. ]

Yeah! It's a deal! Just let me know when you're going, okay. I, um, I don't really get good phone reception up here, but you can always send a pokémon with mail or something like that!

[blessyour]

I can go whenever you want to go home! Uh... how about this Friday? I'll draw a real crowd if it's on the weekend and all-- and you can have a good amount of time with your family, too. [He loves making people happy, making his idol happy is just a dream come true!]

[leaguechallenge]

Friday's good! Friday's - it's good.

[ aaaaand we're pulling you into a hug. hope you didn't need that personal space Ethan WE JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ]

[blessyour]

OO-oof! Oh, heya, i-it's not a big deal or nothin', really! [personal space? Who cares about personal space! He gets a hug from the Champ, how many people can say that, huh?]

[leaguechallenge]

[ well.......the line starts with Brock and goes on for a while, actually...but you're the only one in the last three years, so there's that! ]

It still means a lot. Y-You're a really good friend.
