[Because that was one hell of a dream. One he's not too sure he's going to be able to get over too quickly right now. He's just... loathe to admit it even happened.]

[But, regardless of whether or not anyone is conscious to answer his question, the old bot can be found in a local park, either jogging with his Growlithe, or attempting to wrestle his Aggron.]

[Something physical. It's all that's going to get his mind off things.]

[Napalm the Onix is sort of hard to miss -- she's a goddamn rock snake after all. And she's curled herself in the middle of the park, watching idly as the man who left the message...]

[... wrestles his Aggron.]

[Yes, that's right. Ironhide is attempting to put Egg the Aggron into a headlock and pull him down to the ground. Because when you have nightmares, clearly the only reasonable solution is to play WWF with your big, bad steel dinosaur.]

[Action] Oh crap, sorry this took so long to get back to! DX

[...Well, if there was something that caught his eye more than his best buddy swinging a freaking table around like it was a piece of paper, it's the fact that this elderly person is trying to outdo him by wrestling a freaking dinosaur. He's not sure just what prompted the idea or why he's acting on it, but he does decide to walk his way over, Mareep chirping along like the little static-y sheep that it is.]

Excuse me.

[Action] IT'S OKAY

[Everyone just stops. Both Ironhide and the Aggron look up, as if they're surprised to see someone there. And yet, Ironhide doesn't even blink at being caught wrestling a giant pokemon.]

Yeah?

[The Aggron looks embarrassed, though.]

Is there any reason why you're grappling with your pokemon?

[This wasn't the training he was talking about...was it? 8|;;]

Teaches him patience. Keeps me in shape.

[Yes, yes it was, kiddo. 8D]
