( [Obligatory tl;dr whiny narration/log summary] )

[So Char is obviously pretty busy today, but did you know he was busy the previous night, too? Because as it turns out, grad happens to fall on the same day as a certain Biomechanical Engineering teacher's birthday. She is thirty-six years old today. You know what that means. It is also worth noting that Char still has that set of teacher keys he stole during the zombie panic during that one Halloween.

Therefore, dearest Samus, when you open your classroom door this morning, you may be delighted to note that someone has filled the room with balloons. Happy birthday.]

[A note slipped under Blacky's door, obviously unhackable]
I know it's been a long time, but you haven't forgotten about me, have you, Vap? I shouldn't have made you wait for so long, but I want you to know I'm okay. I'm alive. I'm happy.

You try to stay happy too, okay?

Here's a chillin' thought for everyone.

There ain't no record of any other Charizards graduatin' here, and the other regions sure as shit don't let Pokemon enroll in schools. I'm the first Charizard to get a high-school diploma.

As of right now, I am the smartest goddamn Charizard in the world.

There is another Charizard here, though, but... ah. I digress. You've still made history, haven't you? That is quite a feat.

[Oh, N, indeed. He's not even slightly bothered by him yet. What is this craziness.]

Maybe, but keep in mind which one owns the turf.

[N you are truly one of a kind.]

Yeah, I guess it is somethin', huh? Hell, even I never expected to actually graduate.

I suppose that makes sense if Sasha doesn't have her degree yet. [NO OFFENSE, SASHA, HE PROMISES.]

Anyone can accomplish what they want to if they remain solid with their dream. If your dream was to graduate... I'm sure it must be an amazing feeling, yes?

My dream? Hell no. A Pokemon can't do shit with an education, let alone a no-future asshole like Yours Truly.

Looking to further your education still might. At least... I think I might. [It's the first thing he turned to.]

No-future? I believe you could have a pleasant future if you tried. Any Pokemon deserves that.

You must be new here.

Relatively, yes. I've been here for... a couple of months, I believe.

That explains it. Just wait until you start hearin' about me, you'll change your tune pretty quick-like.

... Mm. [HE IS KIND OF CONFUSED BUT OKAY THEN.] If you say so.

[Well here let Char clear that up for you:]

'Round here, "Char" and "trouble" basically mean the same thing. You're gonna be wishin' a tail-first trip into some rapids on me with the rest of 'em soon enough.

I could never wish that upon a fire-type...! That is awful!

[N YOU DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAAAND. Stupid Pogle bias.]

Yeah, well you'll be wishin' it on this one. Cut the pollyanna act, kid, I know how your kind operates.

[STUPID HAPPY LOVING PEOPLE. All... liking him and stuff. CUT IT OUT.]

[... WELL. THAT JUST TRIGGERED SOMETHING. POGLE PROTECTIVE MODE GO.]

How our kind operates?

Have... some humans treated you badly? Humans have treated me and my Pokemon badly, as well.

[OH MY GOD he is still so super butthurt about being the one blamed for getting shot in the tail HE SHOULD SO TELL THIS GUY

but oh wait

overly-proud douchebag. That's right. Okay guess it's time to tsun instead]

Throw it in reverse there, kid. Don't matter what some humans have done to me, because I've done plenty to humans too. Save the pity for someone who wants it.

[WELL THAT FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO HIM. TO A POINT. N was going to take his time before he judges then, but... he still couldn't bring himself to think that this Charizard was a bad Pokemon. In his eyes, there aren't bad Pokemon. Ever.

How naive of him.]

I see. I will let experience tell me what to think of you as you wish then, although I doubt it will be easy to sway me.

If you do not wish to be... pitied, I can hold my tongue.

It'll be easier'n you think. You sunshine-and-friendship trainers ain't never met a Pokemon like me before.

I could argue that, but... we will see.

[This Charizard does remind him of Zoroark an awful lot.]

We will, won't we?

[THE ILLUSION FADED

CHAR WAS A ZOROARK]

Mm.

[HOLY SHIT ZOROARK YOU WERE PLAYING A TRICK ON ME ALL THIS TIME]
