Karl barely registered that the young man staring at his phone had said anything at all, instead focusing on the gym as he conquered it and then placed his most powerful monster, some sort pale pinkish cat creature the game named Mewtwo. That seemed a wise enough guardian for now until more of his House Red allies came to bolster the gym.
He was considering putting the game away and heading back to the house when the young man approached. Boy more accurately. Karl stared at the boy incredulously for a moment, not moving save for a hand reaching up to scratch at his jawline though his beard. He could crush this boy without a thought. The battle wouldn't even be...
Oh. Karl's eyebrow rose as the boy turned his phone to face him, revealing he was also playing the game. "Ah. That makes more sense... BearyCute." If this was how these battles were conducted then it only made sense to return the gesture and he turned his own phone around to reveal his own screen name, 'Karl' which was chosen for being his name. His avatar had not been touched since he joined, still dressed in the same clothing it had come with. He wasn't sure if any of the uniforms were associated with ranks, position, or tactics, and so he hadn't bothered with it. "I will accept your challenge if you still wish to battle."
