Looks like I need to give the League a visit sometime, when I get home. [Blue muses to himself, as if this was all just a temporary little vacation that would end soon. Maybe things hadn’t quite sunk in for him, yet... He continues Mightyena’s absent-minded pats as he gives pause to Archie’s warning.]

Oh... that’s right. [He frowns for a moment, then shrugs.] There wasn’t always Pokémon Centers, you know? It’s not like we’re overdoing it by having one battle. And besides, I have potions and stuff of my own. [He won’t need to hold on for them that long, right?]

[Blue seems blindsided by this description of Mega-Evolution, from the blank stare he’s giving Archie right now. A power up? Makes the relationship between trainer and Pokémon tangible? Just what the Furret was he going on about? It has his interest piqued, that’s for sure, so after a moment, he nods his head.] Show me sometime. A new technique, huh...? I’d be crazy if I didn’t study up on something like this.

[He gives a confident smirk then, raising two fingers in a casual salute] But don’t think that just because you have an unfamiliar technique that it’s enough to catch me off-guard. If you know who I am, you know I’m not that easy to beat!
