Sun-Boosted Heat Wave

As an up-and-coming competitive Pokémon battling duo and longtime friends, Karasu Tabito and Otoya Eita have some time to prepare for their next big double battle tournament. So, as part of their pre-tournament training, Karasu decides their first stop would be in the Hoenn region and he's more than ready to put his best foot forward and take their week long training session seriously.Otoya, however, has other plans... Most of which include sleeping off the summertime heat, dreaming of Unova and its delicious (and cold!) Casteliacones, and wishing he was anywhere but holed up in an AC-less secret base with an annoying, over-analyzing battle nerd nagging in his ear every day. Otoya's not sure what will come first: him melting underneath the sun or Karasu finally snapping and throwing him off of one of Route 119's cliffs. Why couldn't he at least get to suffer through this horrible training week with an actually cute tournament partner? Because if there was one thing Karasu was bad at, it was being cute.Right?
