[Look........... he's gonna try. If his dumb ass dad can't pry himself away from work for two weeks to visit his sons, then maybe they should just start some shit in Alola to give him an excuse to show up!!]
[Admittedly, Blue was never as gung-ho on the whole Rocket pursuit thing; he hadn't been when Red took them on, and he was less than enthused when Lance had run off to Johto, telling Blue to keep his eyes peeled in Kanto. Playing the hero had never been his thing; amongst his many reasons for becoming Champion, being a force for good was not one of them. But neither could he totally ignore the things he'd seen in his travels, at the peak of Rocket occupation; he held no less disdain for them than any other upstanding person.]
[And... having inherited the seat of the Rocket boss, and the expectations of all the people looking to that position, he felt at least some moral drive to prove himself to be different after all that had transpired at the Plateau... For what little good that might have been.]
Fried doughnuts, [Blue helpfully supplants, taking another sly sip of booze-water.] Filled with Berry jam. They're delicious! Don't go and try to tell me you're on a diet.
--Oh! How could I forget! Did you know Exeggutor in the Alola region are Dragon-types? Their necks grow reeeeal long-- [He demonstrates, arms wide] --And they whip them down at opponents and send 'em flying! They're pretty good-natured guys, though, just like Kantonian ones.
