"Pak Kabu! He's my senior! I'm still a bit scared to talk to him, bottom text."

Agni feels like they have an extremely hard time interacting with Kabu partly because they look up to him, partly because of that Distance between Junior and Senior, and partly because Agni's a very skittish person especially to those they consider their 'seniors'. It'll take some time for Agni to feel comfortable interacting with him and all it took was a session of playing with Sizzlepeede to break down that barrier (that or Kabu asking about fighting games and Agni starts rambling about them with a whiteboard and diagrams and all). Since then they feel like they can kinda talk to Kabu, but there's that awkwardness between them. Rip.

They both, occasionally, have a contest to see who can endure spicy food the longest. So far it's been even, I think. Agni loves spicy food and their stomach is still okay-ish but Kabu probably won't back down from a challenge.

There would be a mentor-student like relationship except Kabu has his hands full with Agni who doesn't exercise, is chronically online, thinks setting stuff on fire is a valid battle strategy, and full of anxiety (and depression. There might be some autism mixed in there too). But Agni works with Kabu on whatever he's having them do and, after a few adjustments (since Agni's schedule is a total nightmare to figure out, so is Kabu's I like to imagine), they make it work! Sure it's long distance and the time zone difference is hard and schedules conflict but I like to think they both have something to learn from each other. It culminates into Jalur and Galar having a collaboration and the champions decided it would be funny to have Agni go against Kabu. Cue the stadium nearly set on fire and destroyed, Agni nearly passing out because Limit Breaking is very hard on them, and a very close match but Kabu still came up on top. At least Agni didn't space out, which is good! (they usually space out and freak out whenever they're going up against someone they know that is better than them. Or they perceive as better than them).

Agni sometimes invites Kabu to see them at any Major FGC tournament they're in because 'trust me, Pak, it's a whole lot better to witness it in person than behind the stream; it's like Galar's Pokemon matches!!'. He did manage to make it to one when Agni was there in Galar (and ended up winning for Strive). Cue Kabu probably being one of the loudest people in the room (and there was a lot of people cheering that tournament).

Kabu has witnessed Agni being possessed once. Needless to say, there was a lot of horrors being experienced that day.

It was good to see that her Uncle was okay with her texting her. Now if she could just can gather up her wits... txt: Any chance we can video chat for a moment? I..could really use a bit of a pep talk..or something. Kinda feeling a bit down.

@hibanakabu replied to your post “So you know how in Pokémon Wilds if you’re in a...”:

Yeah definitely haha, that happened to Kabu once

​"It's really nerve-wracking, right? The first time it happened, I was looking for that Mirage Tower in the middle of desert."

"Before I noticed, it was turning dark and I was too far from Mauville to head back, so I had to camp in Route 111 for the night and actually just spent the entire time fighting off hordes of Cacturne."

"Sidney told me before that he also had that same experience when he was starting out as a trainer, which actually just made him like Cacturne even more."

“ m’sorry, mr. kabu . I didn’t mean to be dishonest . “

the boy bowed his head apologetically, stepping over to gently cling to kabu’s hand .

“ I just didn’t want to worry you . you have so many important things going on . I’m nothing compared to that . “

“ I’ve just been a little sad, okay ? I’m fine . “

@hibanakabu

Allister's feet kicked idly as he sat, perched on one of the benches in the League's Locker room, awaiting the tournament to start. Even if he tended to be quiet, the ghostly boy enjoyed simply being around the other members, though with the anticipation for the crowd of strangers, he kept his mask tightly secured to his face for comfort.

A timid smile played on his face despite being concealed as he watched the others conversing to occupy their time. Sometimes, he supposed it was nice to be among the living. Nice to not be alone.

When a particular tone caught his attention, Allister found himself drawn to investigate. Hopping off of the bench and peering around a set of lockers, he spotted Kabu speaking on the phone to someone - though he couldn't understand a single word of what was being said.

While the boy knew the man wasn't originally from Galar, this was the first time he recalled hearing him speaking in his native tongue, finding himself almost entranced as he listened to the foreign words. It was a jarring difference from the usual dialect he was accustom to.

Sure, he knew it would be considered rude to listen to the private conversation, but he'd always thought it was neat to hear other languages, a unique change when a foreign trainer came around for the league challenge. Unfortunately for him though, the school wasn't yet offering language classes for his grade, likely the only classes that would prove useful to him honestly. And he didn't speak anything but Galarian and Sign himself.

Not that it mattered though . . . he'd only barely manage to stutter out any other language he tried to learn. Even his sign tended to be shaky and uncertain.

When the fire-type specialist turned suddenly, clearly noticing the boy peering from behind the lockers, Allister nearly jumped out of his skin. Quickly turning, Allister rushed back to his seat on the bench, hoping that Kabu wouldn't be too mad at him for listening.

@hibanakabu

You . . . Remind me of Drayden. But at least... Perhaps a decade or so younger. You have the same drive. And my Mistress is obviously unable to tell, she is just human - but you share the same fears.

Huh, she hasn't insinuated violence yet...

I wonder what a Centiskorch would taste like...

There we are. Damnit.

👨‍🏫 one muse is a teacher/mentor for the other muse, Kabu being a mentor to Calem? I think that would be cool. Also maybe Fearghas and Touya can be friends? @hibanakabu @flock-keeper

RELATIONSHIP TYPES

👨‍🏫 one muse is a teacher/mentor for the other muse (Calem and Kabu)

That would be really interesting especially since Calem is kind of a novice to the International League Dynamics(tm) since he hasn't been the Kalos champion for very long so it's important for him to make connections with league members from other regions and Kabu has a lot more experience than him as a trainer so there's definitely some things he can learn from Kabu

Calem also needs some workout lessons because he's very lanky

💜 friendship (Touya and Fearghas)

This one is very interesting because Touya fought Team Plasma before (and I have the headcanon that he also fought Team Plasma in BW2 but offscreen) so there's definitely the potential for him to recognize Fearghas as a former Plasma grunt which means that they could actually start as enemies

I can see them being friends in the present though with Touya wanting to spend more time with Fearghas and help him redeem himself because he's seen before with N that it's possible, I think that would be cute

@hibanakabu sent: 📐 + Kabu (he's 5 feet 7 inches) for Karl

height comparison (accepting)

"I-...I didn't realize that I was taller than you." Karl's eyebrows furrowed together as he crossed his arms, Vicente sitting there by Karl's side.

“i can’t sleep through it either. wanna talk?” @hibanakabu

@hibanakabu

With the storm outside being quite loud,it seemed that it was difficult for both Kabu and Melony to get some rest. Especially since they were in her bed this time.

She casually nuzzled against his chest and glanced up at her sleeping partner,letting out a small defeated sigh.

"Might as well. Doesn't seem like it'll die down anytime soon. Something on your mind,hon?"

[paldeantrainer]

@hibanakabu || continued from here

"Another half an hour?" Kai huffed out with genuine exasperation and worry as they looked over to Kabu. "Oh uh...name's Kai. Kai Beltran. It's nice to meet you, Monsieur Kabu." They introduced themselves, greeting Kabu with a kind and polite tone. "So...I assume this is an occasional routine with the weather, is that right?"

🎁 @hibanakabu

Getting something for someone you kind of know is a bit hard. But getting something for someone you consider a senior in your profession? Scary. Intimidating, even. Kabu must get gifts from fans all the time, what difference would it make from a Gym Leader from a relatively unknown region?

So, because they are a Coward and can't get any leave to go to Galar to hand it in person, they had it sent over to Kabu's Gym. When Kabu eventually gets it, he's greeted with this: a red box with some type of cloth wrapped in tissue paper, another bundle of tissue paper, and a letter...?

'Hi Bapak Kabu!!

Merry Christmas! I'm not too sure what to get you, but I made you this sarong! It's dyed with the batik method: it's having the wax be the pattern so the dye doesn't ruin the pattern! I made a stamp in the shape of Centiskorch...and well, dyed the fabric red and orange. You wrap the sarong around your waist. I also made something for Centiskorch!! I had some left over fabric...so I made something of a scarf for him. Or I suppose it could be considered a wrap? I made sure it's fire proof; my Pokemon did all the testing for me.

But...I hope your holidays are great, Bapak! Maybe next year I'll watch your match in real life when I'm not on medical leave. Again. Please be well and take care of yourself.

Happy Holidays,

Agni Sugiriyasa

Gym Leader of Api City, Jalur

And inside the tissue paper was some kind of linen wrap with a beautiful red to orange gradient, almost as if whoever made it was trying to replicate a flame. The Centiskorch pattern looked a bit..crude, but it showed enough details to signify that is, indeed, the Radiator Pokemon. The wrap/scarf was similar, albeit there was an attempt to make some kind of ruffled ends?

Still, Agni hopes that you at least get a kick out of this.

@hibanakabu She texts her uncle, as it's been far too long since they've spoken with each other. txt:Hey Uncle, you busy?

♨ For your muse to come across my muse naked in a hot spring ( “+reverse” to reverse muses) @hibanakabu to Sidney

Nudity Roleplay Scenarios

Kabu had been taking a few days off on vacation in Hoenn, and so Sidney wanted to hang out with him and take him to all sorts of places while they had time. Kabu was someone he’d grown quite close to during league events when he was abroad, after all, since as a fellow Hoennian he was easy to approach when compared to other league members from different regions.

After a long day of action, battles and basically traveling all over the northern areas of Hoenn, what better way to unwind than to take a bath at the hot springs in Lavaridge?

Sidney went in first, so when Kabu entered the bathing area he’d find that his friend had already taken off his clothes and made himself comfortable, his nude body submerged from the waist down and obscured only by a thin layer of steam.

“Man, it took you a while to get here. Don’t tell me you’re shy or something!”

[voltagedoubler]

“I believe he should be in the garage or in the kitchen.” Clemont answered Kabu’s question, his eyes showing genuine gratitude. “Thank you, that means a lot to me. I really missed making and inventing things.”

"I really appreciate you being there for me and Bonnie, we always appreciate you helping out whenever you can."

“Yeah,” Kabu replied. He didn’t want to talk about the incident that Clemont went through since he assumed that Clemont was still haunted by it and didn’t want to bring any negative emotions to him.

“That’s great, where do you think Clembot is? Maybe he could help me with cooking and/or baking. That would be good, and also very convenient! Another thing, I think I told you this before but it's great to see you making and inventing things again.”

[flock-keeper]

Fearghas felt distraught after losing the tournament final against Kabu. He was on the verge of tears, since he was so close to winning. Both were down to their last Pokemon, Kabu with his Centiskorch and Fearghas with his Corviknight. Bishop tried his best, but ended up fainting to Gummy's Fire Lash attack. Fearghas collapsed to the ground and put his hands over his face, so people wouldn't see him cry.

After cheering with his Pokemon, Kabu looked at Fearghas' direction and walked towards him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Keep your head up high, Fearghas. You may have lost this one, but this gives you things to learn for the next time. I know, I have a lot of experience with this. You and your Pokemon have some great potential and I'm confident that you will win your next tournament."

Still feeling a bit sad after losing, he sniffled "Thanks sir, I really appreciate that." Fearghas then slowly stood up.

Kabu then gave Fearghas a handshake and also a hug.
