Well then! Isn't he an asshole? All signs point to "yep, you sure are, asshole". It seems like he knows it, too: following Mayu's response, there's a long, awkward pause on Yusuke's end, during which he just kind of sits there and looks at her, like, "aw HELL, me and my big mouth". Then, finally, he shifts uncomfortably and mutters back to her, saying:]
Sorry. I didn't know.
[Obviously not, but that doesn't necessarily excuse his insensitivity, and he knows it. Of course, there is a part of him that feels a little frustrated by the situation, due to not having been able to really know that she'd ended up with the Pokemon in question because its original trainer left Johto and not because of some shitty prank, but... oh well! Life is hard, kiddo.]
... so uh - [Yeah, he's just gonna... change the subject now. Advice! That's what she was asking for, right? Let's see if he can come up with something that doesn't make him look like a total prick this time.] - what kind of Pokemon are we talking, anyway? If you have something that can take it out easily, you should be all right. I got this murderous beetle thing that hates my guts, but ever since Puu kicked her ass the first time we met, she hasn't tried to attack me at all. I think he's got a... type advantage? Something like that, anyway.
[Of course, Yusuke doesn't really like admitting that he needs a big, stupid bird to keep him from having his butt handed to him by a bug, but... whatever. NOT THE POINT.]
