-ow it works? I can't really tell if it's on. Hey Roy, what do you think?

[There's some rustling, followed by a tapping sound as what seems to be a Cyndaquil tapping against the screen of the Pokegear.]

Cynda?

I think it's working. Alright! Now that we've got this Pokegear running we've got to record our lines now for the voicemail! It's got to be something really, really adorable so that everyone who calls us will be able to remember how cute you two boys are. Look I've already got a script-

Quil Cyndaquil!

Hmm? Aw, there's no need to be mad. I don't know why you get so riled up, you ARE a cute little fire-breathing porcupin-OWCH HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!

[The Gear falls down from Hughes's hand and clutters onto the ground, landing on the "OFF" button and effectively ending that 'recording' session.]

[Okay, that... wasn't quite what he expected to hear over the network. A raging Cyndaquil? All over being called cute?

Heh. Riku chuckles, unable to hide the smirk on his face.]

He might be cute now, but just wait until he evolves. Maybe he's already embracing his inner Typhlosion...

[OH! SOMEONE IS TALKING ON THE TINY SCREEN. Hughes picks up the Gear and peers curiously at Riku...not that the silver-haired boy can see him.]

I hope not! It would be seriously uncute of him to be so grouchy at such a young age. And Typhlosion is his last evolution so hopefully he'll learn how to smile and relax a little more by then. Otherwise...

[SHUDDERS. He doesn't want to be blown up, thanks.]

You ever thought about discipline? Your best bet's to break the habit while he's still small, otherwise you'll end up with a big problem later.

[...Man, that pun was terrible. So terrible he's inwardly cringing.]

[notcominghome]

That's not really my style. I prefer for us both to understand where we're each coming from. And he's a smart guy; I'm sure we'll come to see eye-to-eye soon.

Well, you could always try humoring him a little. Maybe instead of calling him cute, you can say he's cool. That's one way to stroke the ego.
