[... he wants to be shitty at niko and snap at him. tell him to fuck off and stop being so irresponsible, but that didn't work before so why would it work now? archie is also self-aware enough to realise that taking his anger out on niko won't really help anything and is just a kneejerk reaction.]

No. You at home?

No. De Chima. [He was exploring!]

You in Heropa?

Yes. I'm working.

[GRUMBLE GRUMBLE. he sends niko the address of the Job Building.]

You're damn fucking lucky I ain't in the sea right now.

[He almost says it can wait, but at the same time, he wants his team healed, and healed now, if only because he's so used to not not having a pokemon ready to fight at a moments notice.]

I'll be there in uh. I don't know, fifteen, twenty.

[Because travel time, even with the intercity porters, is still a bitch.

Anyway, he eventually shows up, and at least he's had a bit of time to cool off. Sorta.] Archie!

[he's waiting outside, looking about as grumpy as expected.]

Release them.

[Aww. Boo hoo. You're a walking pokecentre as far as he cares.

The first one to be released is the golbat, and it's uh. Sure, pokemon can survive a lot and or come out smelling like roses, but it looks like it was sent against something that was almost double it's level.

And seeing it now, even Nikolai grimaces slightly.] It was a Flare Blitz.

[he crouches down and cups the golbat's head, feeling awful for the poor thing.]

No, it was a fool trainer.

[it doesn't take long for the damage on it to reverse. archie runs a thumb over its head before drawing back and waiting for it to come around.]

[A dark look flickers across his face.] Hmph.

[As soon as the pokemon starts to come around, its recalled, Nikolai swapping it out for the feraligatr who's still faintly twitching from the Thunder Fang it took.] Just heal them.

I'm not healin' them so you can go and get 'em beat up again. I don't know what extent this stuff'll work. I don't know what it does to them. Next time I might not be able to do anything.

[he's careful around feraligatr, reaching out to put his hand on its upper arm.]

You keep this up and you'll be burying them.

And? A pokemon that can't fight is worthless. If it can't fight, then I don't want it, and that's all that matters. These things are the strongest I've found so far, but if something stronger comes along...

[He'd toss his team aside in a heartbeat.

While Archie might be careful, Niko's watching like a hawk and as soon as it starts to stir, it's recalled with the same callous look.

The haunter is the last one sent out, Nikolai tapping his foot impatiently.] It's a superhero power. You can always use it. Training it makes it stronger and better.

[he makes a displeased noise, mentally grateful his mom raised him right.

haunter is healed up just as quickly and archie straightens up, holding a hand out.]

Pay up. $50 per.

[.... There's a groan from the teenager before the biggest scowl as he digs out his wallet, while recalling the haunter.] I only have $31 left, and a bunch of useless money from our world.

$200 next time I see ya, then.

[this is a very bad way to take your frustration out, archie.]

Yea, yea, whatever. [Just, going to hand over all his money.

RIP money. At least most of it is smaller notes and larger coins?

But, once that's done, he's going to head off. He has better things to do than stick around.]
