hello there! good to meet you. and your name is?
"Hello Sir!"
do i hear my name?

you have a point. but… yes. it does take some time. jitter definitely has grown comfortable enough to do… well… this.
( eyebrows crease as he looks at the joltik. )
…but you should also know that i am only familiar with dragon pokémon. i have no clue what the bug type has in store for me. ( 💧 )

See? I think that's a yes!
[A grin. They're so cute!]
I'm sure Jitter will be able to express themselves more with time. It takes a while to get to know a Pokémon!
But, you know that as well as I do.

well. maybe it likes to follow in my footsteps? do you, jitter?

Guess you've got a new friend!
I was just asking because they popped up when we were talking about it. They must've flocked to you for some reason!
Right?

hmm– oh, jitter? well… it refused to leave me alone when i stumbled upon it. …and itʼs kind of cute. canʼt say no to that face.

"As weak as I've become I'm a liability, I've had pressure to retire for medical reasons. Would give me a chance to get my studies in to become a professor though."
A weak sigh came from him.

That sounds about right, from what Ash has told me!
. . . Ooh, a Joltik! Not what I'd expect from you, Lance.
[Dawn waves at the small Pokémon, all the same.]
Are you a believer in justice, too?

great minds think alike, i say. my dragonite would probably be thrilled to hear you talk like that.
( but instead of that dragonite being around, there seems to be a joltik climbing up his waist. lance, standing there, all serious with folded arms– unphased by the pokémon… makes it quite a sight. )

“certainly,” his own smile remains while he speaks. “ever since i got that scar i made a change for the better, honestly. it helped me realise that life is far different from how i previously perceived it… and it was then, that it all started looking up.”

He smiled some, it looked painful, but he did it anyway.

lanceʼs eyes hold a modicum of sadness to them. disappointment, maybe. not in blue, naturally– but in himself. especially when he is reminded of why he holds these scars in the first place.
“unfortunately, it is caused by none other than me. i have made questionable decisions in my youth.”

He looks at it and puts a hand to his mouth, other hand moving to sign shakely.
"Tell me that was at least a pokemon related accident and not caused by someone."
The look on his face was surprise and some sadness to it.
"If not lets hope who ever did that regrets it."

in fact, it is clear he stays in shape in order to keep using that arm of his– along with whatever remedy he may have found to lessen the remnants of pain.

his eyes show empathy. not just because it is a terrible scar to be inflicted with, but because he actually knows well what it is like to live with scars.
“you are not alone.”
lance whispers, smile at the ready. he unzips the upper part of his jumpsuit– just to take out his arm.

“no, certainly. i said it lightly, but the reality strikes hard.”

ah… well, those types of remarks i do believe are unnecessary. why must everything be limited to a certain gender? i could wear a dress simply because i wanted to. not that i do. but. the point is that i wouldnʼt limit myself because of my gender. it is a bit ridiculous.
