(@askthewhiterocket) "C'mere you," Kyo wrapped her arm around Nat and ruffled his hair a bit with her fist. "Who gave you the license to go off and grow up like this, huh?"
"You say that like he isn't our age," Meg said with a laugh.
"Yeah yeah, my point still stands." She released Nat and shook her head. "Seriously, we're proud of you. Takes one hell of a trainer to achieve all that you have, and you're still somehow doing even more. I know it'll only go great from here for you."
Meg pointed her thumb at Gabe. "I doubt you'll need us when you've got one hell of a rallying crew back here but we're still with you all the way. Whether its there with you in Johto, back here on the isle, or anywhere else, you call us and we're there." She held out her fist for a fist bump. "That's a Startus Guaranteed Promise."
"Now go kick some ass, take some names, and maybe learn a thing or two, you hear?"
Yeah yeah I have a baby face, we all know. I'm still about the same age just like Meg said!
[He winced playfully before Kyo had released him, standing upright once again and grinning to the both of them.]
You guys are more than welcome in that group, you might as well be family with all that you've put up with while around me... you basically are, actually.
[Before he got too sentimental he turned his attention to Kyo. His expression was already watery from just moments before, he didn't need to turn into a mess in the moment.]
To think this all started with us almost throwing hands the first few times you were here!
[Nat laughs as he bumps Meg's fist with his own, regarding both of them with his usual grin.]
That's the mission! Next you guys hear from me it'll be something big.
Whether it's my title or being on the news for decking someone, we'll see.
