Hawlucha! That's a strong fighter I've heard a lot of good things about! Not that the others you said are bad at all - I've just been researching Fight-type Pokemon myself.
Listen, I started out in this world with one good Pokemon and a bento box. That was hard, but you're fighting even more against the odds after Team Rocket harassed you! In my mind, if we're gonna spar, I feel like we ought to be somewhat at the same level with each other and I've got a whole year of experience in this world over you. Is it cool if I send you some stuff for the winter holiday comin' up?
[ ...Has there ever been a more bro way of asking to spoil a guy? ]
I mean, I'll fight you naked if I gotta, but the winter's kinda irritating here!
me mentally going 'ok small cash, but Farm Access...' as I sort any gifts like:
Indeed they are.... [And with an odd smile as he thinks back on it-] ....She drop tackled both myself and Yuuya the moment she hatched...
[It was pretty neat in hindsight.
Sobering up however, Gongenzaka shakes his head.] Hauh-! No need for such handicaps! And I, the man Gongenzaka do not mind at all- if I can however, I shall try to do the same in turn. [The holidays are the holidays after all!] I, the man Gongenzaka, look forward to the day we can fight as equals however!
[ It'd be wrong to say Kirishima coos from that story, but he definitely makes a noise in the back of his throat to signify empathy and the sentiment of 'damn, that's cute'. ]
When I met my starter, Machop, he punched me as hard as he could in the gut!
[ Flex! of a passionate fist!
Now he anticipated this kind of protest. ]
Do you think it's a handicap to offer a freezing man your coat if you just came upon him, warm yourself, in the snow? It's not a handicap! You'd just be letting him live up to his potential! It's the same as if you crossed a man in the desert with some water. Do you automatically think he is a lesser man? I don't!
Well first, he bows as steeply as possible- he may have vanished from the screen.]
My humblest apologies..!
I, the man Gongenzaka...Had assumed you were speaking of yourself when you spoke of such a fight!
[Over the top handicaps are just a thing he's familiar with!! How was he to know that he meant him!!]
Please, let me assure you then, I have at least acquired a jacket and new clothing...
[Thanks to Steven, but he won't go into detail on that at least. As it is, there's a difference between a good fall jacket and...well. Something meant for winter.]
Kirishima's not a very formal person, but he can certainly acknowledge formality being given to him. It's weird, but endearing.He's still struggling to understand the miscommunication, however. Did this dude... think he would be helping out Kirishima? Or? ]
I meant I want YOU to fight ME! If you can beat me, dude, maybe I'd let you at my Machop...
But dude, I'm glad you got clothes! More than one set of clothes? I only got one when I arrived.
[Mostly he assumed Kirishima would help him, 'But Also' that Kirishima was...offering to handicap a fight. The two things just didn't link up in his head entirely, when the more familiar fight option was right there. What do you mean guys don't make those kinds of challenge offers after talking about christmas presents!?]
Mnh...! I see...
Regardless..! I, the man Gongenzaka, received help from another while in Goldenrod; he showed me to a department store, to make certain I had enough supplies. Otherwise, all I would have had for clothing would have been...
Resistance bands or weights... [He's gonna look into that. ...Ah-] Hm! There is not much which I, the man Gongenzaka would normally wish for...however, coming here, it is clear there is much that I, the man Gongenzaka, do not have experience with- both in travelling, and training as well. I, the man Gongenzaka, would not say that weights are what I need- but...
[Gongenzaka frowns a bit, clearly trying to pin down just what he WILL need. The list is probably pretty expansive, but he doesn't want to leave Kirishima with no real direction either.] Hmn! I, the man Gongenzaka, will trust your judgement- whatever you would think is most necessary to continue one's training here- that is all I could ask for.
[Be it as simple as a lift weight or otherwise! He's really not going to be picky here.]

you're doing just fine gon, bb, we're all rooting for you
[ Wow, amazing, it's almost like Kirishima gave out some concrete ideas for things that are relatively cheap unless someone decides to go overboard and just pick up several cheap things...
Gogenzaka essentially offering him carte blanche for gifts to give him in turn results in a bright, shark-toothed grin. ]
Yuzu is definitely going to point this out to him when they go shopping.] Currently, the intention is to remain at MooMoo Farm for some time- it is a good place to work, and one which provides room and board.
[ He's got you and your permission to gift you, dude. Game over... ]
Be careful around the puppies!
[ He expects the opposite of his advice will be taken in this respect... RIP Gogenzaka under the Growlithe and Yamper puppy pile. Kirishima, in the meantime, is building a sort of gift basket of goodies for you. ]

[ He's unhappy his ploy to get generous did not work. ]
How do you feel about exchanging gifts for the holidays?
And then maybe a spar in the new year!
no subject
[Fortunately he can still get generous! He just...has to think a bit more? Maybe? There's probably a way to cheat here.]
no subject
[ Fist grip! ]
We're on! You and me! Maybe our Pokemon too!
Um, I'd like any kind of weights or resistance bands for me an my Pokemon! We work out a lot!
What kinda things do you think you'd want?
'what does gon need' stares into space the answer is a lot so uh

[Fortunately or unfortunately he is normally dealing with the Large Bois. But he will probably have to rescue everyone else from puppy pile.
oh boy, gift basket though.]
