[Armin had entered the fishing contest in the hopes of catching a nice patterned magikap that he could name after Noctis. What he hadn't dared think or hope was actually being the one who would get the golden fish!
Honestly, he's still feeling a little dazed about it all, and he needs someone to share his excitement with. Which is why Angel is getting a video of Armin grinning widely, his arms full of shiny Magikarp. No seriously, really full. Magikarp are pretty big fish and Armin is holding onto this entire wriggling monster as if it is his favourite stuffed animal.]
[That is.... a very big fish. She'd heard about the contests but... with her team in a state of disarray, she'd decided not to participate this go round. Clearly, she's missed out on something though.]
Armin? What is that? [It's clear that it's a Magikarp, but it's been ages since she's seen one outside the normal palette. If it weren't moving, she might have thought it was Armin's favorite stuffed animal.]
He definitely didn't make it easy on me. He kept me on my toes for quite a while before I was able to reel him in. Hopefully, that means he'll make a great pokemon for trainer battles too. I mean, I don't think I can call myself a water pokemon expert if I don't even have a Gyarados.
[It's one of the more popular water pokemon out there. He should definitely have experience with it!]
I caught a few regular patterned ones first, and if I'm honest, I nearly fell off the dock in surprise when I first caught a glance of him.
[He hadn't managed to reel it in yet at that point, so it was a good thing he didn't.]
I bet he'll be quite the fighter. Especially if he has such a talented trainer to guide him.
[Why yes, Angel will absolutely heap on the praise. Armin deserves it after such an amazing catch.]
I'm glad you didn't actually fall in. Though... Would it be considered cheating if you had fallen in and wrestled it to the surface. [Now that she's imagining it, it sounds like the kind of fishing Krieg would enjoy.]
Did you get to keep the other fish you caught? What patterns did you find?

It's a shiny Magikarp! There was this fishing contest and I entered and I won.
[His words are coming quick, nearly tumbling over each other in his excitement.]
I never really thought about winning, I just wanted to catch one of the fancy Magikarp so I could name it after Noctis, but then I caught this guy.

Congratulations! It's truly beautiful. [A pause.] Did he put up much of a fight? How surprised were you to see it? What did the others say?
[Tell her all about it Armin, she's so excited for you.]

[The best kind of legal!]
I caught three others too. Though I'm thinking of letting them go free. Unless you'd like to have one.

[Oh! Her attention is piqued. She hasn't actively been looking for new team members but... Armin friends are her friends.]
What other variations did you come away with?
no subject
[He's joking. Not about his wrestling techniques, those are absolutely poor as shit. But you know Krieg would still enjoy cheering him on.]
In addition to Noctis here, I caught an Orange and White Calico, one with the Purple Bubble pattern and a Brown Zebra one.
[A pause as he realises Angel might not immediately have a mental image to go with those particular fish.]
It would probably be easier if I showed you, wouldn't it?
