Private call to Ven

[Vanitas looks rather pleased, despite trying to obviously not smile at the camera.]

Ventus, I got your package today. Carriers apologized about it being late.. [Pausing a moment, he lets out a sighed breath, a small smile creeping onto his face anyway.] It looks good.

[There's a moment with purple streaking across the screen, paws hitting the Gear and unlocking it for the rest of the network to see; Vanitas petting a very affectionate Purrloin on his shoulder with a red ribbon tied around the kitty's neck, smiling a bit more openly.]

Nitas, don't jump up like that. I was done talking anyway.. impatient.

[Turning his attention back to the Gear, he clears his throat.]

Thanks, Ventus.

[.... o o p s, he didn't know the call unlocked. Well, either way, he's hanging up now, so the feed clicks off.]

Mm. Just using two would be too rough when everything is that level.

I thought my strategy'd be enough, but it looks like I need to work on it more first. That and give them more backup, so I'll keep training.

Riku probably can help you practice the strategy. He's got more than enough Pokemon.

That's true. He's been helping me train Shadow and Mistral already, now that their levels are getting up there.

Which ones are those? [He doesn't quite know the nicknames for all of Ven's pokes.]

My Lampent and Emolga.

The ghost and flying squirrel thing. [Clarifying.]

Pretty much.

You don't want to try different Pokemon entirely? Those don't quite have a type advantage.

I'll find a way to win with the team I've got. You haven't seen Shadow's Curse in action.

I guess I haven't. I'll have to remember to watch out for it when we battle.

Not the last thing to worry about with my team, either.

Probably not.

Gotta make it interesting, right?

It better be, I don't want to be disappointed.

Wouldn't be much of a challenge if I didn't do my best.

Mm. Don't tell me anything more then, I want to be as surprised as you are of my final team.

Like I would. Figured one hint was fair play though.

[It's nice, to hear that small bit of himself in the words. It's enough to get a laugh out of Vanitas.]

Oh, is that how it is? Good then.

[Well, you are supposed to be in there someplace, right?]

Just remember that when the time for that battle actually comes.

[It's just hard to see.]

I will.

[That's because you're dark...stuff]

Great, I won't make it easy.

I don't expect it to be easy, Ventus.

You'd get bored if it was, right?

Obviously.
