[namesaquestion]

[He really, really tries not to be impressed and or jealous of Archie, but it's hard. He should have the pokemon, not some stupid bleeding heart like Archie. The pokemon's wasted on him.

Yet at the same time.... by the time he's (shakily) clambering off the bat (and more than happy to be on the ground, k, thanks.)...]Tch. Not bad training from a wimp. Well, go get your master. He's the one with the money.

[h2no]

[crobat is not as nice as archie. crobat does not try to be understanding with niko; crobat really does not like the younger trainer. it gives niko a dangerous look, getting up close in his face and hissing angrily, even shoving him back a little before it takes off again.

jeez, crobat.

it's back with archie inside a few minutes. he hops off and pats it before returning it.]

[namesaquestion]

[shfsdah WELP.

Thankfully it's gone before Niko can collect his thoughts. That said, the first thing out of his mouth when he sees Archie is-] What, you training that thing to attack people or something?

[h2no]

No, [he replies immediately, stopping to look up at the hotel, casting a critical eye over it before pulling out his comm to do some quick research.] Why, what'd he do? He didn't grab someone and suck all their blood, did he?

[atchie flashes a shitty grin at niko. it's not entirely clear if he's joking or not.]

[namesaquestion]

What the hell, Aqua? [KDFJLKDSJF- Archie, that's not something to joke about with predatory pokemon, holy-

See icon for the level of glare and add in a large helping of disgusted what the fuck.]

That thing got up in my face, hissed at me, and then shoved me back. It's lucky I didn't trip and fall and break my arm or something!

[h2no]

[he barks a short laugh.]

I'm joking, he doesn't do that. Crobat just doesn't like ya and I never stopped him from expressing how he feels about stuff.

[archie waves a hand, starting towards the entrance of the place.]

Maybe stop bein' such a turd to Golbat and he'll be kinder.

[namesaquestion]

Aww, boo hoo. So what? It's not on my team and how I treat my pokemon is no-one's business but my own!

[Nikolai follows.] Besides, I don't need it teaching my pokemon bad habits!

[h2no]

Hmmm. I think it's been made abundantly clear to you by now that that's not actually true.

[he shakes his head, standing aside for niko to enter first.]

He won't teach Golbat anything without your say-so. Don't you worry that red head of yours.

[namesaquestion]

Only because the rest of you have nothing better to do! Tch. You'd think after I told you to stay out of my way the first time, you'd take a hint. Then again, you bleeding hearts are all the same. Under my feet and in my way no matter what I say and do.

[With that, he's heading inside with the air of someone who thinks he belongs in only the classiest of hotels and expects the service to match what's presented.]

[h2no]

Nothing better to-- oi! Where do you think I got the money to pay for all this! I got plenty to do!

[HUFF HUFF offended at the NOTION!!! archie follows.]

An' it looks to me like you'd be stuck in the middle of nowhere if it weren't for us, so you're welcome. Asshole...

[namesaquestion]

Oh yea? Like what? Laundering money? Remaking Aqua? Saving kittens?

[And he's flashing Archie a Shit Eating Grin. This? This is hilarious, and he's not even twitching at the asshole comment.

He's had much, much worse flung at him by the trainers he's pummeled in the past.]

[h2no]

Working a fulfilling job!

[archie is falling for this so hard.]

[namesaquestion]

[And Niko knows it.]

What, like saving some stupid worms or something? Ha! Best use for them is live fishbait.

[h2no]

Deep sea diving. There's no better peace than being three miles underwater away from you!

[namesaquestion]

Yet here you are.

[He smirks.] Hmph. Sucks to be you.

[h2no]

[S I G H]

You have no idea, kid.

[namesaquestion]

Aww, whatever. Picking on wimps isn't much of a challenge.

[He could push some more, but. now they are inside the hotel, he doesn't want Archie to suddenly decide to Bail on him at the last second.

So. He's gonna behave.]
