Tch! It ain't like there were any of those where I came from, but whatever.
[With the shove forward, he stumbles a little, still not totally coordinated. He shoots her a glare. He doesn't know who this lady thinks she is, bossing him around... yet he seems to be following along regardless. It's pissing him off, but he also has nothing better to do. And maybe he's just a little bit curious about these cores.]
Can't say I think Jill's much of an elemental core kinda lady. Besides, she favors me just fine, not that it's any of your business.
Then don't go talkin' about this shit like you know what's up.
[He's honestly just grumpy, and doesn't care if she actually cares or not. Maybe he's just a little sensitive over the topic, but who knows for certain (we do). Once they're at the river, he lazily watches Yellow Diamond approach a rock like it owes her a fucking debt, and she busts that shit with the same ferocity.
He just... kinda gawks, until that core gets thrown his way and he nearly drops the damn thing. Once it's securely in his hands, he gives it an appraising look over, his brow creasing as if he's a little confused on what he's looking at. Which he kinda is, he didn't even know these things were a thing 10 minutes ago.]
—Guessin' this is the shit you're meanin'? It don't look impressive none. Whaddaya need these things for, anyway?
[Guzma gives her a good ol' roll of the eyes at that. God, this lady must have a stick the size of a tree up her ass. He watches as she bubbles the other one she retrieves, wondering what the hell that even is she just did.
But then she orders him to strike it.
Strike what?
Oh.]
Like... with my fist? What's that gonna do, huh?
[He's not too sure he wants to bloody his damn hand on this thing, especially when he doesn't even know what's gonna happen when he does.]
[Guzma looks like a goddamn drowned Rattata, and he's about as happy as one. The core is on the ground, spewing water, but the gush isn't as much as it was initially. He's glaring at it, but then glaring at Yellow Diamond from where he's sitting.]
You're a dick, y'know that?
[But then, with a semi-defeated tone:]
...Yeah, I didn't even know this shit existed. It's pretty cool.
[The silence is frustrating, and he hates feeling like he's so out of his element. Pulling out an Ultra Ball, he releases Golisopod—who looks a little confused at the situation. He eyes Yellow Diamond curiously, before looking to the gushing core.]
Golisopod, hit that thing.
[Guzma jabs a finger at the core, and Golisopod looks from his trainer to it with a bit of confusion. But, he does as he is told and walks over to it, before raising one of his bigger arms up, pausing for a second, and then slapping it.]
[she watches golisopod come out with interest. this isnt' her first pokémon-- when the bug strikes the core it stops. yellow saunters over and crouches to look at it.]
Is this like that big serpent? These creatures are hideous. I'm amazed they're allowed into the city at all.
[Oh thank fuck it worked. Golisopod looks over at Guzma as if to ask if he did good, and with a thumbs up from Guzma, his expression changes to something more gleeful—till Yellow Diamond calls him hideous. That just gets an annoyed stare in her direction. Matched by Guzma's own.]
What the fuck do you got against Pokèmon? Also, I don't think a lady who looks like a stretched out pinap got room to talk about hideous.
[Not that Yellow Diamond is actually ugly, but that yellow is a bit much. Guzma gets up at least, and walks over to the core, bending over to pick it up and look it over.]

[she strides forward, not actually caring if guzma follows her or not until she gets to the river. once there, she bends down on one knee and just
punches
through the rock
to pull up an inert core. she tosses it guzma's way.]
Hold it.

[or, well, her purpose as well-- even with the freedom afforded to her both here and at home now she's still pretty...
what's a nice word for it...
anal.
yellow pulls another one out the ground and bubbles it, tapping the top to send it away.]
Strike it.

[and yet still she doesn't offer any warning for the water that'll explode out of it when he does. oops!]
no subject
[Well, she said the right shit to get him riled, because in the next moment he slams his fist into it.
And it explodes with water.
Knocking him back in both force and surprise, while dropping the core entirely.]
FUCK!

Trial by fire! Or... water, I suppose. Aren't they fascinating?

[Guzma glares at her, and then the core. He gestures at it a bit erratically, showcasing his annoyance with this entire situation.]
How do I make it stop? What do I even use it for?!

[liar. she holds a hand up in guzma's face, not quite pushing him away.]
This one almost looks familiar... [she's pretty sure she crushed a planet of bug people, once.] What was that you took it out of?
no subject
[He offers, staring at her hand in agitation.]
Don't know why he's familiar, considering we just met. I took him outta an—Will you get your hand outta my face!?
[He then tries to swat her hand away.]
