A moral conflict for the end of the year!

[battlestandby]

[No resolutions for the new year for this young man, nope! But still, something in him has changed. neverfollows has been a constant reminder of the terrible things he's done throughout the years and seeing his younger self torture the Chimchar he would eventually abandon was just too much to bear. Especially when this Paul suffered much more dire consequences

[And Leaf... because she's pretty much everywhere all the time.]

... What are you doing? [You're just staring at a Pokeball, who does that?]

[battlestandby]

[fuuuuu-- oh god it's not!aunt, his least favorite of his not!family.]

--What are you doing here?!

[typeless]

I walk around the island when there's nothing else to do.

It's better than getting out of shape.

[battlestandby]

... You're a liar. You wouldn't just pass through a place like this.

[SUDDENLY A WILD JUN APPEARED...from right behind where you're sitting. Isn't this like the second or third time we've practically interrupted you when you were hoping to be left alone?]

Hey Paul, what'cha up to?

[battlestandby]

[ahahaha oh Jun, everybody interrupts him when he tries to be alone! He can't in all good conscience single you out when so many others are guilty of the same thing. :') By now Paul's managed to control himself so he doesn't freaking jump out of his seat when someone comes up from behind him, but the gaping face and widened eyes are still things he's working on controlling.]

---You?! What are you doing here?!

[rivalheroics]

[Hahaha maybe we should do this more less often if you're always gonna have that kind of reaction everytime we say hello]

Well, I was walking by when I thought I heard your voice coming from over here, and it looks like I was right. So, what are you doing out here anyway?

[battlestandby]

[The fact that you're a spitting image of that weirdo who seems to adore him no matter what he does doesn't really help either, Jun. But Paul's grip on the Pokeball he's holding tightens as Jun starts asking questions.]

... It's complicated. But it seems even if I settle out in the middle of nowhere, people will always find me...

Hi, how are you faring with the new user pics system with the amount you have? :') 1/2 btw.

[He's coming from behind you with a happily panting Growlithe by his side.] Do you Monolog frequently, Moody?

[mr_neutral]

And before you start: Yeah, I "stalked" you today.

[battlestandby]

I want to murderize those heartless bastards so hard

[... oh jolly great. You. Time to look annoyed!]

... I was talking to my Pokemon, not myself.

And you must have been stalking for a long time, considering I've been here a few days.

[mr_neutral]

"Here's free editing to make up for that! Even though that should've been free from the get go!"
I've only started since yesterday for a little while, and then again today. [He'll get to that 'atoning for' stuff later.]

[onesymbolshort]

What are you doing, Paul?

[NINJA BROTHER]

[battlestandby]

[ffffffff HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS]

R-Reggie...! I--

[oh god, Pokeball. Hiding that behind his back!]

Nothing!

[onesymbolshort]

And what's that you're hiding behind your back?

[battlestandby]

Nothing.
