You Get To Burning!

Who: Kamina, Kirstin, Bridget, Open
Where: Battling Field near the Violet City Pokémon Center
When: Sometime around noon
Summary: When they last parted ways, Bridget was the pupil... and he still is, but how far has he progressed towards becoming a man of his own making? I mean it's a reunion thread.
Rating: M for MANLINESS! Cause any thread with Kamina gets that... or maybe just PG/PG-13 for his mouth


A cool breeze drifted through the air in Violet City and while the harried, newly assembled Dai Gurren Dan was taking a well-deserved rest after the long trek from Cherrygrove City. However their leader remembered a particular promise he had to keep. The last message he'd sent had laid out one of the vacant practice battle fields behind the Pokémon Center.

So there stood Kamina at one end of the field waiting, his cape drifting lazily in the wind while the afternoon sun reflected off his glasses. Gurren was standing there as well, trying his best to mimic his trainer, even down to the smaller-sized pair of glasses he was wearing -not that anyone really knew how or where the Quilava got them.

Arms folded over his chest, the leader of the Dai Gurren Dan was certainly an imposing sight, like a champion waiting for a challenger. The truth wasn't too far through, this would be the test to see if the boy had learned to stand on his own and afterward, it would be a celebration of friends being reunited. That and he was certain that as soon as Kirstin caught up, she'd be happy to see Bridget as well.

Watching Roger II collapse, Bridget sighed. He had pushed his pokemon too far, and he lost.

He showed Kamina that he was weak again, like his first battle with the Tentacool. He ran to Roger II and scooped him in his arms, petting the moonshaped mark on his forehead.

He didn't expect Kamina to praise him. It stunned him. He watched Kamina's red cape blow in the wind, in disbelief of his words. Maybe Kamina did have a point but it would take awhile for Bridget to accept his praise. He still didn't feel his best was enough.

"Ur--sss" He half smiled to Roger II.

"You tried really hard for me. Thank you." He hugged him gently and stood up.

"Ah! Kamina I'll catch up with you guys. I have to drop Roger II off at the Pokemon Center."

Later when he rejoined the group he decided that on the way back he would go to the Pokemart and buy his Teddiursa a pot of honey.

"Ah Bridget-j--" Jango cut himself off remembering Bridget was not actually a young girl. This threw everything into confusion. EVERYTHING. But being Jango, the hypnotist decided to ignore it and shove it into some far corner of his brain where he would probably never deal with it. "You were really amazing!" It seemed weird now to gush about how good the Gir-- GUY was. "You know. All things considered." He leaned over to offer to help carry the teddiursa in case Bridget wanted the help. Jango wasn't a lot of things; brave, strong, smart; but when it came to his friends or protecting women, he was very loyal. Even if Bridget wasn't a woman, or even an adult. But that was something to ignore for now.

Bridget was surprised by Jango's compliments, averting his eyes. ". . .thank you." He was touched but unsure if he deserved such praise. "Um, I didn't win Mister Jango."

Maybe the hypnotist didn't catch that. He didn't seem the brightest at times.

"Hmm?" He looked up, seeing Jango leaned forward, arms outstretched towards Roger II. He stood there, a deer in headlights before giggling. Jango wasn't the brightest. But he had other strengths.

Bridget handed Roger II to Jango although he wanted to cradle his pokemon himself he noticed that Jango really wanted to be useful.

". . 'all things considered?' What were you going to say, Mis- I mean- Jango?"

"I know," Jango tilted his head to the side slightly, trying to get a better understanding of the kid. "I meant given that you didn't win, you were still really amazing! I've never seen someone fight so hard for their owner," he pet Roger II soothingly.

He perked up at Kamina's roar and just laughed slightly, giving the man a darting grin in return.
