Ugh... [he seems to acquiesce at that. maybe it's their convincing argument, maybe it's the fact he's starting to blackout again, who knows! he's high as a damn kite!] Finn, but-- wait, don't tell him what happened! We still gotta talk, uh...

[he drops back with a flop and exhales, staring at the ceiling. just need a moment to think about what he's talking about aaaaand...

he's out. bye, archie.]

[golisolation]

[Well, that's one way to make sure that Archie doesn't try to get out of bed or heal his Pokémon. He waits a moment to be sure that Archie's down for the count, before he turns his attention to Poe.]

You get whoever that Finn guy is to heal Crobat, and keep an eye on Archie here for me.

[He walks past Poe, heading to the table with Archie's team in their balls on it, picking up Crobat's ball specifically to show it to Poe with a little shake. Emphasizing that this is the one, before putting it back down.]

'Cos it looks like I got a fool to crush.

[flightforfreedom]

Finn's not doing it. He takes wounds for himself, so if Crobat's as badly hurt as it sounds like it is, we'd just be taking someone else to hospital. But he might know who else is on heal squad.

[ He turns, watching Guzma go with a squint, and then follows him across the room, putting his hands on his hips. ]

Let me get this straight, some guy shoots Archie so you're gonna go and deal with him? That about right?

[ His voice is weirdly flat, rather than accusatory, despite the words. ]

[golisolation]

Well that's about useless, ain't it?

[He levels a flat stare at Poe, raising an eyebrow at the question.]

Yeah, you got a problem with that?

[flightforfreedom]

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. So we're not calling Finn. I'll find someone else.

[ Yeah he's already using 'we'. Which... might be explained by his next statement.

He raises a finger and points at Guzma solemnly before shaking it.

It should be a problem, right? This is exactly the kind of shit he was so pissed off with Guzma for before.

But.

It's for Archie, so Guzma's shitty talents are actually of use, here. ]

I'm coming with you.

[golisolation]

[His eyebrow lowers when he hears Poe say "we", going more into a furrow than not. His eyes fall to that finger, which gets an even more agitated stare, until Poe finally spits out what he's building up to.

Guzma's expression doesn't change, all he does is tilt his head to the side a little.]

Didn't put out no open invitation, yo.

[Crossing his arms, he faces Poe more fully.]

Besides, you'd probably just slow me down.

[flightforfreedom]

And I'm not asking you. I'm telling you.

[ He keeps his finger pointed at Guzma. ]

I'm the fastest thing on this planet in the air. Trust me.

[ He snaps his fingers, and suddenly a spark ignites at the end of it. At the exact same moment, deep in Guzma's chest, he'll suddenly feel a rush of bravery and a massive adrenaline kick to go with it. ]

I'm not letting this guy get away with it.

[ Especially not when the only other thing Poe knows about what's going down with all the Pokemon people is that Archie is afraid someone's going to snag Niko. So someone needs to set an example not to mess with Archie. And like hell if it isn't going to be him.




And Guzma, apparently. ]
