You are given verbal back-up by Halberd, who fires some instigating shots at Grashglik, "The boy doesn't need to prove anything. He's made it this far, and though our paths haven't crossed for long, I can tell just by looking in his eyes that everything he's accomplished is not in vain."
"Y-Yeah, what he said!" you parrot, albeit only to pause a second later, "...G-Granted I don't /mind/ listing what kind of person I am without my Pokemon-- I mean, I'm a playboy, genius, Pokemon champion with a quarter gain, with the most beautiful waifu in the world!"
Ignoring you and your random list of achievements, Grashglik directs his salt and attention at Halberd, "You're /still/ here? For what purpose? Defense from the peanut gallery? Give me a break! Why don't you go on slogging back to the greasy trough of wiener water you climbed out of to get here? I defeated you pretty easily earlier, and I didn't even need a megaton snake for that, don't assume I don't have the energy to do it again."
Halberd narrows his eyes, his tone growing cold, "I've told you once, and I'll tell you again, I'm not leaving.
Not until you give the spice back.""You're /STILL/ going on about that? Talk about a one-note motivation. Hmph, even if I did have the heart to return it--and I don't have one period--I wouldn't.The führer needs it as the finishing ingredient for his little pet project."
"A frankfurt without the spice that makes it snap... is just a frank."
"FRANKly, no one cares. Hopefully by the time of your demise, you'll be able to cope with the fact that your life's work will have amounted to nothing but the very ruin responsible for destroying this world."
A) "Uh guys..this fight is supposed to be about MEEEE!"
B) "..What the hell does spice have to do with the furry guy?"
C) "You STOLE his spice? That's DIABOLICAL!"
D) "That's what this is all about? S P I C E? Literally WHY?"
