[Keeping Up With the Next Generation: An All-Purpose Guide to All That Stuff Those Kids From Other Regions Keep Talking About.

That's the name of the book Kris is reading in some weird and strangely specific library. Some other hits she sees in the shelves are How (Not) to Deal With Meddling Kids in Caps, It's Not All Black and White, The Series of Guys That Cramped My Style And Messed With My Social Life, and Hot Enemy Problems: Part 1.

But it's a large library. A huge library. The possibilities are endless... and very specifically tailored to everyone's needs.]

I can. [You're the weird one here, Gold.]

[illegalteendad]

[the only weird gold is the mopey one who joined team rocket in his opinion]

I'm not doubting you or anything like that, it's just that with the people I know I can't imagine it. Red at some point before he got beat, maybe, but Blue or Yellow? Nah, nah. Okay, so you guys were Dex holders. What then?

[semiductile]

That's for me to know. [But not for this Gold to find out.]

[illegalteendad]

Ah, come on. [he's tapping his fingers on the table impatiently] It's got somethin' to do with Crys, right? She wouldn't let me join those guys in a million years!

[semiductile]

At least you understand that. [Nope nope noping the fuck out of this conversation]

[illegalteendad]

What happened to Crystal?

[semiductile]

[...No. He shakes his head.]

[illegalteendad]

[he's annoyed

no, he's beyond annoyed

crystal's his friend no matter the circumstances and it's ticking him off that silver won't tell him what happened

seriously, what could've been so bad that he would've joined the rockets?]

Fine, whatever! Thanks for what information you actually gave me. [he shoves his book away, but it's actually just the decoy that comes off and he freezes as Hot Enemy Problems appears like it's a goddamn magic trick]

[semiductile]

[...Hot... what...?

The serious look is gone, at least for now. Gold.

Gold, what are you reading.]

[illegalteendad]

Hot

Enemy

Problems]

[illegalteendad]

[it is mocking him]

[illegalteendad]

Don't say a single word!

[semiductile]

[...Are

Hot enemy problems? [F...ire... types?...]

[illegalteendad]

[no he's not okay THERE'S NOTHING OKAY OKAY

THERE WERE LIKE

SYMPTOMS OF IF YOU HAVE THEM OR NOT

AND HE HAS THEM

HE has been trying so hard not to have them, silver, but it's not happening

gold has the hot enemy problems]

Team Rocket's got a bunch of hotties, okay? I don't know how but they do. Must be genetic or something like that. For example, Blue! Girl's pretty as can be! Serious problem.

[semiductile]

...As long as you don't touch her, you're fine. [If you touch Blue so help you Gold you won't wake up tomorrow morning-]

[illegalteendad]

Yeah yeah, I know. Heard that from you, from my Silver, from Blue herself...

[disaster apparently averted he's just gonna

snag it back from across the table and flip it back over to the page he was looking at

how to deal with your problem: acceptance]

It's a bunch of crap anyway, by the way. These books. All of them.

[semiductile]

[...Excuse him, he's just gonna you know.

Invade your personal space and try to look at it too.

If they're so bad, why's Gold still reading them? -You know, besides the fact that he's Gold and reads dumb things.

Whatever man just let him see, okay-]

[illegalteendad]

[oh god he wants to see it

no you know what

go

go ahead and take it here he'll even just sliiiide the book far over to silver's side

seriously it's bad enough with just his own don't make him deal with two of them]

1/2

[semiductile]

[...What

What is he reading?

Gold what's with this book you're-]

[semiductile]

...Are you okay?

[illegalteendad]

Fine. Why?

[the ceiling is 100% more interesting than anything in this library

seriously though he's just leaning back in his chair again

so casually]

[semiductile]

[Because you-

you're--

You know what, whatever. It's not like this makes him any more weird than he was before...]

[illegalteendad]

[he's not weird he's just

growing up

groans] Just spit it ouuut, Silver.

[semiductile]

You're acting weirder than usual.

[illegalteendad]

[gold doesn't know if he wants to count this down as a good thing or an annoying thing

but silver's stupid





it's a decidedly good thing]

Yeah, well, you ever look at like those medical books to see what you've come down with and end up thinking you've got like twenty different diseases that have the same symptoms?
