7th bloom; prom

[punchtheflowers]

I don't really give a fuck if You-know-who-you-are is reading this or not, but I know at least Team Rocket's not stupid to pull anything during grad or prom. You know why? Because in about the last month or so, the school's fended off an infestation of demon birds, and an invasion force. What do you think think would happen if they trash a party with this entire fighting school in one room? Especially a party everyone's been looking forward to for weeks?

Yeah, they'd get their sorry asses handed t'them by the entire faculty and a lotta pissed off students.

And now that we don't have classes and finals anymore? Yeah, damn straight Team Rocket better watch their shit if they feel like making a comeback. They're the ones oughta be afraid of us.

So anyway. Congrats to everyone who's graduatin' and shit. How many've you are there, anyway? Is anyone sticking around t'take college credits, or are you all goin' off and getting jobs?

So. You guys have any grad plans? I think I'm gonna go and check it out. Seems like your kinda thing, Sis - I mean, you like dancing an' all.

Red, Sonny, Kojiro, are you guys coming? Apparently you don't need a date t'go.

Elis? I know you haven't been here long, but... I dunno, maybe you'll meet some new people. Or something.

= = =

Hey. Haven't seen you in a while. I wasn't planning on goin' to prom with a date or anything, but... I figure, since I screwed up Valentine's for you so royally, I should at least make it up t'you with a dance, right?

You'll have t'teach me how though, cuz whenever Sis tries she just trips over her own tail.

Hey, I'm only in this 'cause I don't like you. You're right, you ain't convincin' me of shit.

But you really think that nobody out there needs to know you're doin' more than empty talk?

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

Now you're thinking of others, huh. Right.

I don't think anyone else cares what I say even half as much as you do. If I don't tell you, I'm empty talk. If I do tell you, I'm being a showoff with delusions of heroism, or whatever other bullshit you feel like throwing at me. Why should I even bother playing this game with you?

At least you gotta admire my tenacity.

I wanna say it's 'cause I know you're lookin' for an excuse to shut me up, but things changed, huh? Used to be you were about action, not hollow-ass bullshit. Look at you now. You got a runt-ass Charizard tryin' to piss you off and Team Rocket's lose in the city, and instead of lookin' for asses to kick, you're doin' nothin' but talk about how you're so okay with yourself. You're too complacent to get your hands dirty, Vinnie.

Well, I'll give you that much: I'm not an Ivysaur anymore. I'm a Venusaur that nearly killed a teacher, and got half my leaves pulled in the process. You know exactly what that means.

Even if I wanted to, going around picking fights is a great way for me to end up dead again.

You got fists. They're good enough for humans, ain't they? Or are you so scared of dyin' that you're just gonna coast on your trainer's reputation for the rest of your life?

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

You out've everyone should know humans don't need t'rely on just fists t'fight anymore.

Well, it's not doing my trainer's reputation any favours if a known human-mauler's out fighting like a reckless idiot, is it. And even less if I die, or kill someone. And what exactly is my team supposed t'think if I'm running off t'hurt people all the time, and I'm at the Pokecentre every week? At this point, fighting without thinking is just selfish.

You know what I meant.

We ain't talkin' Volgin and Raikov, Vinnie. We're talkin' sluggin' it out with your goddamn rival, and we're talkin' Team fuckin' Rocket. If they're such a big goddamn deal for you, then do you really think peer pressure's a good enough excuse to be lookin' the other way?

[punchtheflowers.livejournal.com]

You think the rest've my team's looking the other way? We've been wanting to pound his face into the dirt ever since we got here. But unless it's done right - and I don't mean that just cuz we love being fancy white knights - we're gonna be on our third strike out and so shit deep in broken laws that no charge is gonna stick to that fucker.

That asshole handed me a personal death threat the minute I was out the hospital. If you think I actually like watching him walk free, you are really a bigger dumbass than you look.

And what exactly is doin' it right, Vinnie? Sit back and let your teammates carry your weight? Wait for that Johto brat to do it for you again? Hope the Rockets go away on their own if you write enough scary words on your internet journal?

So human society's stacked against you because your dumb ass chewed up a human. You so scared of messin' up again that you can't even do nothin' about this bank robbin' stuff you apparently hate so damn much?
