[Opening up the feed with only his palm in view, there sit three badges.

I'm one step further than when we last spoke, Franziska.

[Vanitas curls his palm shut to block the view of the badges then as he lifts the Gear, regarding the screen with a rather smug look.]

How many badges do you have?

[His tone was making it seem like he was asking more than just Frannie about her badge collecting; Vanitas almost appears as if he wants to hear about others as well. Competition, as it was.]

... regardless of whether or not they're human, I think they deserve as much respect as anybody else does.

They have to earn my respect. [Shrugging lightly again, he doesn't seem the least bit bothered by his own words.]

What about those three badges?

[Not haughty or anything! Just being... cautious toned.ish. thing.]

They've been too easy. [Course, having an overleveled Charizard dumped into your team makes these things unchallenging-]

And that's thanks to your Pokémon, isn't it?

[... sine he's assuming Vanitas didn't go up and punch the gym leaders in the face and take the badges by force.]

Thanks to my training. They'd be slouches otherwise. [Now there's a thought, maybe Vanitas should try that next-]

[He really isn't sure he agrees; it sounded more like it went both ways, that Trainers needed their Pokémon just as much as the creatures needed them. But Lloyd isn't looking to pick any fights, and this guy's got more experience with the world than he does anyway. He lets it slide for now, looking a little uncomfortable.]

... What does your team consist of? I'm still learning about all of the different types.

[Lloyd has yet to figure out he's speaking with a jerk. Instead of saying anything though, he simply passes the gear down to... a Sneasel, who promptly delivers a stink eye, before the feed gets passed around.

All in all, there is an excitable Minun, a surprisingly cheery Swablu, a rather ... explosive looking Charizard, a deadpanned Eevee, and the feed is held up to catch a glimpse of a Misdreavus that lets out an overly delighted scream.

Taking his Gear back, Vanitas is shushing the Pokemon with a simple, sour faced look.]

[j e a l o u s------ okay well he winced at the screaming one but ultimately aaaah want---]

Whoa!! There's a lot of them, and they all look so different!

[At least focusing on them instead calms his originally growing annoyed expression. Giving a partial shrug, he's looking a bit prideful all over again.]

My starter isn't with me at the moment since I'm training one to see if it's potential is worth it. [Gesturing to that deadpan expression Eevee.]
