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.
[OOC: Bonus points for anyone that can tell me what the subject and cut text reference.]
[OOC: New comers can just jump in whenever and we can change tag orders on the fly. Don't be shy if you're in town, you might just get a front seat for a cool battle!]

In the meantime, the Quilava was hunched over. His opponent's desperation attack had worn him down- though he was clearly still in fighting shape. Watching as his opponent finally admitted defeat, Gurren perched up on his back legs again, thrusting his tiny fist to the sky in imitation of his trainer, little flames flaring on his back in a less-than-successful attempt to mimic the cape as well.
The air was still for just a moment before Kamina applauded and shouted, "HA! YOU GUYS DID GREAT!" He walked forward, Gurren hastily zipping up his trainer's leg and perching across his shoulders where he received a congratulatory head-scritching. Stopping before the knocked out Teddiursa, he waited for the trainer to approach to retrieve his partner with his arms crossed again.
"Ya did well kid." He chuckled a little with that offer of congratulations, "Still got plenty of room to grow, but ya showed me that ya weren't just sittin' around on yer ass this whole damn time. So I better not catch ya slackin' from here on out!" He turned to the rest of the Dai Gurren Dan that had gathered to see the battle, flaring his cape out dramatically.
"Now come on guys, let's eat! I'm fuckin' hungry."

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.

And with the small bear's tenacity combined with Bridget's drive, it made for a battle worthy of being a challenge between men. Even if the boy still had some room to grow still, it was a vast improvement over how he was when they first met.
"OF COURSE HE'S AMAZING!" Kamina bellowed, "He's on his way to becoming a man and men don't half-ass shit!"

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?"

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

"That's where yer lookin' at it all wrong, kid!" Kamina seems oddly serious as he explains himself, "The point of this battle wasn't for ya to beat me." He gives a gesture to Jango, "A man's gotta listen to the people around him -a man won't waste time bull-shitting another man." It was fairly obvious that he agreed with much of the dance master's opinion.
He seems to be settling into this whole mentor role rather well as he continues, "The whole point of this was seein' how ya held yerself! Ya remember Cherrygrove Beach? The way that thing in the water pushed ya around was pathetic!" After a moment's pause, he grins -a visible note of pride in it, "But the way even when Gurren was comin' down on ya full force -how ya didn't back off, ya ran with yer gut and ya stood yer ground! That was what I was lookin' for! Those are the kinda traits a man has!"
