[And guess who just happens to stumble upon this impending disaster? That's right, this guy! And his Hitmonlee, too. Yusuke wasn't exactly planning on crashing Mondo's training session - in fact, he was actually heading out into the wilderness to do some training himself, and is decked out in the sweats and t-shirt to prove it. It just sort of happens, and while he normally would've just walked on by (because it's not like he's never run into someone doin' their own thing on his way out of town before), the sight of a freakishly tall muscular dude with a ridiculous orange pompadour is enough to stop him dead in his tracks. It's a good thing Mondo's back is turned when Yusuke arrives on the scene, because the look on his face when, for a whole heart-stopping five seconds, he thinks his best friend managed to sneak into Johto without him knowing can only be described as pure, unadulterated shock.
Of course, it isn't long after that initial "holy shit" reaction that he realizes that this isn't actually Kuwabara he's looking at: the dude's hair is way crazier than Kuwabara's, for one thing, and for another, his voice isn't nearly as screechy. Besides, who is he kidding? As if Kuwabara's smart enough to sneak all the way here to Violet. That doofus wouldn't even be able to sneak his way through a room full of teddy bear fluff.
Anyway, now that he's duly been freaked out by some random stranger, Yusuke decides to resume his trek out into the woods! ... or at least, that was the plan, anyway. What he actually ends up doing is staying put and watching Mondo try to control his Pokemon, because as weird as it feels to just... suddenly show up and start creepin' on some other person's training, he's kind of interested in seeing if this "double battling" thing What's-His-Face was yelling about'll actually pan out. If it does, he'll take some mental notes and try it out for himself later; if not, hey, at least it'll be fun to watch the whole thing go all to hell. HEH HEH HEH.
Between himself and his Hitmonlee, Yusuke is the only one amused by the spectacle Mondo and his Pokemon are creating. His Hitmonlee, Kosugi, is more unimpressed by it than anything else, and looks it, too, with his folded arms and knitted brow. He seems to be judging Ryder in particular pretty hard - if Ryder happens to look over in their direction, she will probably notice right away that she's getting the stank eye. :| NOT IMPRESSED WITH YOUR SHIT, RYDER. Whatcha gonna do about it?]
