Then the me in a couple weeks can worry about paying when I get Ash at my door with a baseball bat. Assuming I haven't come into enough money by that point. I'm thinking of going diving in the lake with Sharpedo, seeing as he'd be able to help me pull up anything big that's down there.
[It doesn't occur to him that it might be a different Ash. After all, the Twerp is always around. He tangles his fingers in his hair and makes small, whimpering noises.]
Catch a ground type! I recommend a Quagsire, because people think they're only water and forget about the ground typing. Those are always fun to bust out against someone with an electric type that thinks they're some kinda hot Shuppet.

...Or I'll get a job, or something.

I suppose I'll start baking again.
I d-
[Wait]
Wait...
[WAIT!]
Wait, what? Ash? Here!? The Twerp!?
[It doesn't occur to him that it might be a different Ash. After all, the Twerp is always around. He tangles his fingers in his hair and makes small, whimpering noises.]
Nngh... of course.

[the reaction throws him to the point it takes a couple of moments for archie to even properly react. there's a lot to unpack there.]
Er... the bouncer? [nani] --Wait, he's from our world??

[James drops his forehead against the table.]
He turns up everywhere. It's not fair.
no subject
[he frowns.]
What's your Bouffalant with him?
no subject
Oh, he beats me up on a near weekly basis...
[His voice drips with shame.
Beaten up routinely by a ten year old, what is his life?]
no subject
explain?]
no subject
[He sneers.]
Ever belly flop into an ocean from ten thousand feet up?
It hurts.
no subject
[he's not drunk enough for this.]
Why's he get in the way so much, then?
no subject
Who knows?
Maybe he's intimidated by my sense of style.
[Or maybe it's the fact that James is always trying to rob him?
...
Nah.]
no subject
[did you... let something slip there...]
no subject
Just my job!
Not my fault he doesn't like it!
He should try flipping the script, I do it all the time!
no subject
You ain't ever just beat him in a battle or somethin'?
[all these questions!]
no subject
James clutches his hands into fists.]
My bag is full of tricks but the Twerp has one very good one.
It's super effective against living things.
[The scowl is quickly replaced by a sigh.]
Somehow even if I win I end up losing.
no subject
[archie shrugs.]
What is it? Last question, promise. [said with a light laugh.]
no subject
[James makes a vague gesture in the air.]
You can feel its jolts down to your tailbone!
Usually it rides on his shoulder, did you see it?
no subject
[he understands that pain.]

No, it's no use.
I've seen it melt ground types before...somehow.
It's even battled a Latios to a stand still before.
A Latios.

A single Pikachu? No, that can't be right. He has to be cheating, somehow.
[it even took may everything she had with her team to calm kyogre.]
no subject
This Pikachu is just that powerful! There isn't another one in the world like it!
[He blows out a breath.]
I've only ever beaten the beastie once in a straightforward battle.
[Well, him and Jessie did, but he rolls the two of them into one person in his mind when it comes to battling.]
Could you order me a dry martini?
