001 [voice | CALL | un: ghostprince]

[CALL]

[The call begins with the sound of something flapping incessantly, as if blown by very rough winds. It soon settles into eerie howling. Pleasant!

It's not entirely a creepy silent call, though, and soon enough, a cool and quiet, young-sounding voice that's a bit hard to place, filters in:]

—one hear me? Sorry, the wind picked up.

I'm going to check out the temple.

Will anyone else be coming? I won't be needing your help [—rude.] I'm asking for your safety. I don't advise sneaking up on my partner and I, unless you don't consider your soul valuable.

[End call. Not so much as an introduction! He thinks he owns the place, doesn't he?]

[He wants to meet it, though. It looks adorable. And that's an interesting name for a Stand: Pokemon. Weird, but no worse than Stand.]

Does he have fire attacks, then?

[had to get help to pick two other moves for Lampent because only two were shown in canon ^^;]

[shootaro]

[Pocket Monster is pretty straightforward, but unyieldy!

He nodded.]

Fire Types primarily use Fire Type moves, yes, that's basic. [Matter-of-factly.] But other Type moves can be taught with training for more balance.

Lampent can use Flamethrower, aside from drawing out spiritual energy to burn. Its others moves are Shadow Ball, Psychic, and Energy Ball.

Flamethrower's usually all we need, though! [He sounds quite proud of it! Lampent, mostly, seems very calm and quiet by contrast, simply watching.]

... if you want a demonstration or a battle, we're always up for those too! Are you a trainer too?

[The question didn't really entirely give him away.]

[fivenareff]

No.

[That hurts, even six months later. It's not Trip's fault, he didn't know, but something in Polnareff's stomach still twists awfully at that question.]

But I'm familiar with the concept. I'd like to see a demonstration, whenever you're up for it.

[shootaro]

Oh. It's just that you didn't seem very surprised, so I thought you might be one.

[He couldn't have known, but even if he had, Trip still be unintentionally hurtful.]

I should be free tomorrow or the day after. Depends on what time we could meet up.

[He makes the most of his time, so even at dawn, he and his team would be out training. Today, he'll probably be busy with ghosts, though...]

[fivenareff]

Whenever's best for you. Just name a time and place.

[He'll address the rest later. Some of it he doesn't mind disclosing, but not where anyone can read it.]
