"oh, so you got the easy badges, then."[break][break]

he's mostly just giving lam shit as should be obvious by how he laughs after, but he's also not really joking about the fact that those are the easiest gyms, at least in his opinion.[break][break]

but he's biased.[break][break]

he eyes the tatsugiri with interest but he already has his squad so he's fine to pass it up.[break][break]

"kidding. that's good. you planning on getting all of them?"

Lam rolls his eyes, “Cut me some slack, I just started out.” Despite the reaction, he lets out his own short scoff of laughter then shakes his head.[break][break]

He doesn’t care what’s easiest or most difficult, though while he’s figuring out his footing, he’s not about to complain about less strenuous battles.[break][break]

Giving his shinx a rest, his scovillain appears in a flash of light—eagerly spewing a FLAMETHROWER at a low sailing skarmory.[break][break]

“That’s typically the plan, isn’t it?” he asks dryly, casting a flat look at Matias before the corner of his mouth quirks up.

"typically, though you'd be surprised how many fall off after starting."[break][break]

speaking of falling, a marshtomp leaps up onto the boat only to slip and fall and hit its head. it knocks itself out, forcing matias to walk over to throw it back over into the water.[break][break]

he wipes his hands on his pants as he looks back at lam.[break][break]

"i never got all eight in kanto, nor have i here."

“Fair enough. Like to think I’m stubborn enough not to quit entirely, though.” He doesn’t mention the jarring competitive streak that hides under his more lax personality.[break][break]

Lam isn’t…fond of fish. But when a feebas leaps up out of the water and lands on deck, he can’t leave it be. His nose wrinkles, but instead of pushing it back into the water, he rolls a pokeball at it from a short distance to make contact with the fish.[break][break]

Stopping to collect it, he continues—cracking a crooked grin. “Well, in that case, maybe I won’t be too much of a stickler about it.”[break][break]

Actually, he’s bound to be a touch lazy anyway.[break][break]

“Why didn’t you? Too busy?”

what's wrong with a feebas? :catto:[break][break]

"got too busy and then got even busier when the war started."[break][break]

for some odd reason, a tyrunt paddles through the water with its snout just poking out, allowing it to breathe.[break][break]

he does his best to ignore it.[break][break]

"i have six here, though, which is alright i guess."

Fish are just…kinda yucky, as far as Lam’s concerned. Some are even downright terrifying. Maybe he’ll warm up to the feebas, though.[break][break]

“Is that any better? War?”[break][break]

Frankly, it sounds way less desirable in Lam’s own opinion. His shinx pulls down a staraptor with a pulse of THUNDER[break][break]

He tosses out a ball. “Think you’ll pick it back up? When you’ve got the time?”
