[What a shame it is that Nanu can't appreciate the moment for how bizarrely hilarious it really is. Later, he's sure, when he goes home sore and contemplates on whether this was worth it or not. He would say that Guzma's initial shock is enough, but it really isn't—not this time.]
[Pleased that the arm lock took, he fully intends to keep it in place as long as he can. But he knows Guzma has more brute strength, muscle, height, and definitely stamina on him, which will turn this into a worse struggle very quickly. Nanu has no intention of letting this turn into a fist-fight like the other man most likely wants it to be, but he's not intending on backing down, either. It really depends on how quickly Nanu can get his point across, if at all.]
[He doesn't want to bring his pokémon into this, either...at least not this scuffle between them. If Guzma wants to turn it into a pokémon battle, so be it; but Nanu knows a lot of the time Guzma likes to take care of things himself. How noble.]
What I just pulled is nothing compared to what you deserve.
[Nanu clamps his other hand on Guzma's other shoulder, hard. It's not going to be effective in stopping Guzma from breaking free in the first place - but it will give Nanu a chance to keep a hand on him, period, when he inevitably breaks the arm hold. He doesn't want to leave himself empty-handed without an angle of attack if it comes down to it.]
The only reason it wasn't worse is because you don't have anything else. [Besides his pokémon, which Nanu would never do anything to, fake or not.] How foolish of me to think your time home might've smartened your outlook. You've got Hala pretty fooled too, don't you?
