4th (?) Patrol: In Union

[commissionergrump]

[Since their encounter with a malevolent god, Gordon and his team have been training pretty hard. Several of his under leveled pokemon have evolved, and others are simply stronger. He's in the habitat today, doing another group training, squad tactics something of a thing with him. The evidence of training is all around, but they're taking a break right now. He's passing around snacks and drinks, with the help of some of the other bipeds. Since Susan evolved, he doesn't have his normal seat for this kind of thing, but he brought a collapsable chair that he's sitting in as he begins to eat.]

It'd be nice if the mean people learned from you. [ He reaches out a hand to see if Lucas wants to be patted on the head. ] I hope I can bring people together someday, too.

[commissionergrump]

[Lucas has no special desire for pats, but he allows it. There's a tingle to it, and it's pretty easy to make the Pikachu's hair go all up on end.]

I hope your entire generation can.

[ This is funny. The boy raises his hand to see how long Lucas's fur stays sticking straight up, then puts it back in his pocket. ] I'll try.

[ But he's in the way of practice, isn't he? That's no way for the voice of his generation to behave. He backs up a few steps. ] Until then, practice really really hard!!

[commissionergrump]

[Gordon chuckles a bit at that, looking at the somewhat dismayed look of some of his lazier pokemon.]

There is such a thing as training too hard.

It was nice seeing you.

[bnw_mari_npcs]

[ The boy nods. ] Thanks for the snack. And for letting me meet everybody.

[ He waves goodbye to the Pokémon. ] You guys are neat!

[commissionergrump]

[The blastoise smiles, blowing some more bubbles. Lucas nods, going to find his board, waving to the boy. Gordon gives his own little wave. He pushes to his feet, and turns to the pokemon.]

Alright, break time over, let's get back to it.
