[It is really cold in Saffron City right now, but that's not doing much to keep the Supreme Overlord of Ice from being his ridiculous self outside today. And though he's not drawing attention to it yet, he doesn't seem to be alone today since in the background his travel partner Hagakure can be seen trying to photobomb Gundam's post by waving at the camera while also attempting to hold a blanket full of Exeggcute...and then promptly nearly spilling them all over the pavement as they begin to tumble out of his arm.]

It seems my preparations were more than enough. For you see-

[Hang on, he's going to turn back to see what all that noise is in the background, and...why isn't he even remotely surprised?]

Careful! To drop them would be create calamity!

[He's just going to to try and help with the not spilling tiny egg Pokemon all over the ground. Let's do that instead of proclaiming victory.]

I-I got it, man! Just do your post!

[The last thing Hagakure wanted to do was steal Gundam's thunder since this is a huge victory! But it's very clear that he really doesn't have it, and they would've been dealing with some sunny side-up PokeEggs if it wasn't for Gundam's help. Once the eggs are safely back in the blanket, Hagakure slinks into the background again, shoving his face into the blanket of eggs in embarrassment.]

Very well then.

[He'll just pick up where he left off, but not before checking once again to make sure everything's in there and that hopefully Hagakure didn't break them with his face or something.]

It seems that my preparations were more than enough. For you see, not even precognitive powers were enough to thwart the advance of the mighty Tanaka Empire!

[And he'll just hold the Marsh Badge up to the camera now because yes, that's what all this nonsense is about.]

If you wanna know the tips I gave him to get around Psychic types, just contact Yasuhiro Hagaku--ow!

[This time Hagakure's getting bonked in the face by one of his eggs for purposefully interjecting this time. He can be heard whimpering. "Okay, okay, I'll be quiet!" to the eggs while Gundam continues.]

And we shall continue discussing this matter later!

[The feed ends there as he turns around to help Hagakure with his continuing egg dilemma.]

[Waving-]

Hiii Hakky! Hiii Gungun!

[Which are your respective nicknames now.]

Congrats on the badge business! Did Hakky predict you would win?

Gungun?!

[What is this? His life is already taking a turn for the bizarre since his proclamation of victory's been hijacked by repacking these eggs, but...Gungun?]

What sort of creature are you referring to?

I think she's giving us nicknames, Tanaka-chi. We're the creatures!

[A Nicknamer would recognize another Nicknamer! And well, he's going to take the opportunity to do the same for Draculaura.]

Yo, Draculaura-chi! I didn't do a prediction for the battle, but I gave him pointers on how to deal with Psychic types. Ya know, the kinds of tricks they have up their sleeves and stuff.

Aw, of course he won with your help! You two must be, like, best friends, am I right? The adventures of Hakky and Gungun!

[Gundam's trying to use Dig to tunnel into his scarf right now.]

I suppose that could be said.

[That might've been a little muffled due to the whole scarf thing.]

[They've never really said it out loud before, but now that Draculaura brought it up, they really have become pretty dang good friends over the last half year or so.

Grinning, he gives Gundam a good slap on the shoulder.]

You're not wrong about that! Any of that, actually. I'm actually really glad we ended up here, 'cause even though we're from the same world I dunno if we'd have met otherwise.

[Things are...tricky, back home.]

Awww, really? That's so sad, but also so nice! This weird game can do some good!

I bet you two can do anything now! Gungun does the battling, Hakky does the planning, you two could get all the badges together!

Such an alliance...

[He's still trying to burrow into his stupid scarf at this point. Actually, after hearing what they've both said, he's pretty sure if he could somehow fall into the pocket dimension sealed within its fabric, he'd be fine with that.]

...could prove useful.

Oh yeah, this 'game' does a lot of good things, trust me on that one!

[Before he left the first time, he was content to stay in the PokeWorld forever if he could. It just has a lot of great things going for it!

His hand still on Gundam's shoulder, he gives his friend a proud shake. Stop being so shy, bud!]

Ya know, I'd be down for that! [But hmm...] I dunno how good I'd be when it comes to other types though. I'm just pretty good with Psychic types.

Edited Date: 2016-01-18 07:10 am (UTC)

Well, I'm sure when he comes up against an ice-type gym, he'll win for ssre! Gungun is an ice monster hybrid, after all.

[... she says this with complete admiration and seriousness.]

The Supreme Overlord of Ice.

[He managed to pop up out of the scarf long enough to make sure his correct title is given, while not saying anything about Hagakure's hand on his shoulder because the mystical babbling about that would be incoherent even by his standards.]

Whoa, Tanaka-chi! Are you seriously? Like, I always known you were the Supreme Overlord of Ice and all that, but you never said you were part ice monster!!

[He's half-kidding.

But after meeting Draculaura HE HAS TO WONDER NOW. Apparently Gundam's constant talk of being demonic or some crazy thing like that has gone over Hagakure's head this entire time.]

[Whereas Draculaura is 100% convinced that Gundam is indeed a part ice monster hybrid. because why wouldn't you think that.]

Of course he is! I can tell, I have an ice monster friend back home. She's the daughter of the Abominable Snowman, and we're totes besties, and he reminds me of her, and so, he's obviously an ice monster!

[LOGIC.]

[On the plus side, he's managed to escape from being trapped inside the Scarf of No Return. But on the other hand, what new sort of calamity has been created?]

As I have said, my existence is not something easily classified.

[Yeah that's...not helping. At all.]

Sooooo...is that confirmation, then? I mean, Draculaura-chi would sure know a monster when she sees one.

[Hagakure's not even sure how to take this, having known a secret half-cryptid for so long without actually knowing!!

...what has this conversation become...]

_{[Oh hey, it's Intense Dude from the other day!]

[Good to see that his... quirky nature extended beyond just the earlier conversation. Heather's still not totally sure this dude is for real, but she is amused.]}

Oh, you beat Sabrina, huh?

Nice!

Did she send a load of psychic garbage right into your head when you won, too?

I believe what was said, if anything, is something that should remain private.

[Look at him, trying to act all cool and mysterious after everybody saw all that ridiculousness a second ago.]

[Having overheard this particular conversation, Hagakure's just gonna peer over from behind Gundam's shoulder, frowning slightly.]

Psychic "garbage"? Man, there's plenty of psychic garbage out there but Sabrina's psychic stuff is the real deal.

[Apparently he's misunderstanding just what Heather's talking about. Go figure.]

_{[Private, huh? So either she's moved past being a sore loser since Heather's fought her... or Gundam's lyin'.]

[Rather than say something snarky about it, though, she quirks a brow at Hagakure.]}

Oh, I know she's the real deal.

But the real deal is a sore loser and likes to throw a bunch of garbled infomercial shit at her challengers' brains instead of giving them a badge sometimes.

Perhaps you merely did something to offend her, and that is why you received such distortions.

[Hagakure, step in before this turns into a disaster.]

Edited Date: 2016-01-16 06:31 am (UTC)

[But that's implying Hagakure's not just going to make it worse...

He crosses his arms, squinting a bit. There's a good chance he's just blinded to this since he's something of a Sabrina fan, but...]

Tanaka-chi's right, man. I dunno what you did, but she sure didn't do that to either of the friends I came here with for their gym challenges. The heck did you even say to her?

_{[--WOW excuse you guys!!]}

I didn't say a thing!

I just won.

_{[... She may or may not have reacted to Sabrina knocking out her Absol by sending out a level 100 Growlithe and steamrolling the psychic's Alakazam.]}

As did I, but it seems our circumstances differ.

Huh, that's weird... How did the battle go? Like, was it intense?

[Since from what he can guess from this, losing wasn't exactly her trigger. Maybe she just responds better to Gundam's...colorful speech?]

_{[She shoots Gundam a look, but crosses her arms. The 'Gear must be propped up in front of her or something.]}

Not particularly.

I mean, I sent out the big guns after she knocked my Absol out, but like.

It's a Gym battle, you're supposed to go big or go home.

Edited Date: 2016-01-24 02:51 pm (UTC)

Such a strategy is quite common, yes.

[He might've spammed overleveled fire attacks at Erika.]

Oh...

[Hagakure looks like he's trying to understand, but he really doesn't.]

I guess I can't really talk from experience 'cause I've never done a gym battle before. Maybe she's just used to battling people with Pokemon at the same level as hers? It probs doesn't feel too great to get curbstomped.

--She's a Gym Leader!

She does literally dozens of battles a week!

It's her job! Hell, as a matter of fact, her job specifically entails losing.

People bringing their strongest Pokemon to the table isn't anything new to her, I guarantee it!

Then perhaps you did something else. Or perhaps it is an unsolvable mystery, an unanswerable question beyond the knowledge of mortal beings!

Yeah but how much stronger were your guys?

I dunno man, I'd probably get really annoyed by people bringin' in Pokemon like fifty levels ahead of mine. It's overkill! And yeah, she's probably used to losing, but that's not even a challenge for her. She just gets to stand there and get wrecked.

[He really has no idea what he's talking about.]

Or...maybe it's what Tanaka-chi said! Whooo knows, I guess.

_{[She folds her arms, a little huffily.]}

Why should it matter?

She got in a good hit on mine before I won the fight so it's not like it was completely one-sided!

_{[Or maybe it is indeed a mystery beyond the comprehension of mortal beings. She thinks it's more likely that Sabrina's a sore loser, but THEY MAY NEVER KNOW FOR SURE.]}

Then it is as I said. An unsolvable enigma.

Edited (or an enigma even because I can spell) Date: 2016-02-06 11:37 pm (UTC)

R-Right, let's go with the enigma I guess.

[He's at the point where he's not sure arguing is worth it anyway.]

Congratulations! ...Have you won many badges before this?

[She thinks... maybe? This guy's even harder to understand than some of Dave's labyrinthine monologues.]

Did you use those little egg Pokémon?

This marks my sixth victory. And the eggs are not part of my Empire. Not yet, anyway.

[He's been thinking about it. He could use more Psychic types.]

That's wonderful! I've only earned one so far, but I haven't been here that long.

[And the weather's been cold enough to make traveling farther than Violet City unappealing for the meantime.]

...Wait, I'm sorry. Am I being rude? Is there a special form of address for an emperor? I've never met one before.

Yes- you're totally supposed to refer to him as "Your Supreme Icy Overlordliness".

[Hagakure pipes up from behind Gundam before the Supreme Overlord himself can respond to that, unable to hold back making a little jab at his friend.

...This is promptly followed up by a delayed reaction. He glances down at Gundam, slightly shocked.]

And hey! Did you just imply you're gonna try to recruit my eggs into your empire?? I dunno if they're ready for that kinda training...

I would of course, acquire my own. To do otherwise would be a disgrace.

[Stealing Pokemon is wrong.

And now, to address Penny...]

He is mostly correct. I am the Supreme Overlord of Ice, and the Super High School Level Animal Breeder of Hope's Peak Academy, Gundam Tanaka.

[That was a mouthful.]

[That is a lot of words.]

I'll be sure to remember it, Supreme Overlord of Ice Tanaka!

[Spoken with completely serious enthusiasm. ~~Penny plz.~~]

[And to Hagakure...]

Did you breed them yourself, then? ...wait, would egg-shaped Pokémon still come from eggs? That just seems confusing.

Oh, okay. Cool, we can have egg buddies, then!

[And one group of eggs will be far better trained than the other...

In answer to Penny's question, he shakes his head.]

Nah, I found these guys right outside New Bark Town. They were chillin' in a tree, if you can believe that!

[It would probably make no sense if they weren't Psychic eggs...]

But yeah, I'm pretty sure they'd come out of one egg as a group if you bred 'em...this place makes no sense, but we just roll with it.

[Egg buddies, and one will have some sort of weird nickname like Extraordinary Eggs of Annihilation or something like that.]

They do indeed emerge from eggs. Such is one of the unsolvable mysteries of this world

They're all part of the same Pokémon?

[That's... maybe not the WEIRDEST thing she's seen in Johto, but it's in the top ten.]

...I suppose egg-shaped monsters coming from eggs makes as much sense as ghosts and metal things coming out of eggs. ...It's consistent, at least?

Uh-huh! They're called Exeggcute, and they talk to each other telepathically! Their Pokedex entry says they can also form together when heads fall off of an Exeggutor. That's the Pokemon that Exeggcute also evolves into.

It's like a perfect cycle of weird living eggs!

[The Exeggcute in Hagakure's arms shoot him a look for calling them weird. But it's not like he's wrong...!]

If ya ask me, I think the ghosts and metal things coming outta eggs is even weirder... How does stuff like that even breed?

[Apparently eggs breeding isn't weird to him, though.]

I believe that is something that mortal minds would not be able to comprehend.

[He can't even understand it what with being a self proclaimed master of the dark arts and whatnot. Or with being the SHSL Animal Breeder which is probably more relevant here.]

Wouldn't you agree?

[Help him out here Penny.]

I don't know about anyone else, but it certainly doesn't make much sense to ME, Your Icyness.

But they can move and talk and probably think, that seems to be enough for this world.

[Okay he can't help but chuckle at Penny actually calling Gundam 'Your Icyness'.

But distractions aside...]

Yeah, you guys are probably right about that. If no one's figured it out by now, it's just something we gotta accept!

The Supreme Overlord of Ice.

[Get it right, getting it wrong might open a portal to the Shadow Realm or something.]

Sorry, Supreme Overlord of Ice!

[She is taking this completely seriously, threats of HFIL or not.]

Maybe ghosts aren't actually dead here? I've talked to people that come from worlds with VERY different rules even about things like that.

...I don't know about some of the Steel types though. We had swords and robots at home, but none of them could breed.
