arrogantalloy | Route 29: 001

Right, so after studying up on the pokedex, I’m going to need to know the best ways to routes 10 and 11 in Kanto as well as 37 Johto. I’m looking for some of these little guys in particular, and that’s where the Pokedex says they are.

Don’t think it’s going to be easy, because it never really is. But they’re going to come in more than a little handy while I have to re-establish myself. Not something really new, though the location has changed quite a bit.

But then again, some guy in a lab coat pointed out to me the more I use the bird, the more useful it'll be. And if making it strong while I get these other ones I'll need, well that's going to work in both our favours.

Also, these need names, right? Because if I have to call it what it's screeching, well, that's just going to really get on my nerves to be honest.

Wait, did you say Hulk? As in...giant green rage monster?

From:

arrogantalloy

Well, it's hard to mumble the word 'hulk'. And yeah, how many other balls of green anger do you know that inhabit mild mannered scientists?

From:

nasa_dreams

Dude, I have...so many comic books about him. Wait, who are you then?

From:

arrogantalloy

Comic books, huh?

Wait? Are you saying it isn't obvious who I am? I'm not sure how to feel about that one. What with this being a video call and all.

[He raises an eyebrow at the screen.]

And I've always had better press than Hulk.

From:

nasa_dreams

J-Just give me a second! I need to keep my DC and Marvel straight here.

[Thinking very hard. He has lots of comics.]

....You're Tony Stark, aren't you?

From:

arrogantalloy

[Tony grins when his name is said]

In the pixels, kid.

From:

nasa_dreams

Friggin' EPIC, man!

From:

arrogantalloy

[He chuckles]

I've been called that before. Maybe not with such excitement, though.

From:

nasa_dreams

Hey, when you go from being the only Superhero in the world to meeting the coolest ones? It's pretty awesome.

From:

arrogantalloy

'Coolest one', huh? well, that's. Something to hear, usually people get more excited over Captain tight-pants.

From:

nasa_dreams

Yeah, super powers are great and all, don't get me wrong. I really dig my own. But you and Batman? You don't have 'em. You built everything yourself. And that's the coolest!

From:

arrogantalloy

Batman?

Well, it took a genius brain to make it, so don't go humanising me too much there.

From:

nasa_dreams

Heck, more than I'll ever have.

From:

arrogantalloy

You stopped an asteroid, kid. I wouldn't really beat yourself up about not being a genius.

From:

nasa_dreams

Still probably won't get me into NASA though....

From:

arrogantalloy

NASA? Ground crew, or astronaut?

From:

nasa_dreams

Astronaut, ideally....I don't really have the grades for it...if you ask my guidance counselor.

From:

arrogantalloy

Well, really you just need the grades to get into the military. Even the first men on the moon were better at being military, than they were educated. Failing that. I've built suits capable of operating in a vacuum, well for a little while.

From:

nasa_dreams

Well...I've kinda been into space once before. But I really want to be the first guy on Mars.

From:

arrogantalloy

Hmm, that's ambitious. Well if you've saved the world, I don't see why you can't be the first.

From:

nasa_dreams

Yeah, but I don't wanna be handed it, you know?

From:

arrogantalloy

Don't have to be. I mean, when you think about it, doing what you did, kinda proves you're able to take on the challenge. If anything it'll give you a leg up into the programs.
