Yo there, Johto! How's this sunny yet fluffy snow weather treatin' ya? Good? Bad? Frosty? Chill?

Regardless of how it's treatin' ya, I've started on the path much traveled at long last! I'm marching down victory road, one gym at a time-- and by that I mean Goldenrod is the first step in many. *It would be at this time Aoto flashes the Plain Badge with a cackle.* See that, Little Emperor Saber? I'm laying my claim just for you. I even hid a flag with my face on it in there to mark my conquered territory. Good luck finding it~

I need to make a serious investment in types other than water if I'm going to do a clean sweep...

... ah, right. If anyone else challenges that place in the coming days, that giant whale sized crater in the middle if the gym? It was totally there when I first walked in.

And another thing! ... do uh. Do Pokemon eggs like, go bad? I've had one for a few months now, but I never actually hatched it since it was meant for a friend... It's not going to spoil or something, right?

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah, I figured that was the case... still, I don't got any experience with them.

As for hatching it... I dunno. I got it for a girl I know who left, and it's a really tiny pink thing... I'm not sure I could raise that sort of Pokemon with a straight face.

Oi oi, I wasn't insulting him or anything. Just saying there aren't all that many other uses he's going to get out of those arms. *Hearing that though, he chuckles a bit* Wouldn't it just be offensively peaceful? That wouldn't be all that bad, right? Kind of boring, maybe, but probably not bad.

Hey! I only just got it. I haven't had time to make it capable of blinding people. *A HUFF. Geez this girl.* As for the battle itlsef... It went pretty damn smoothly! I almost felt bad for her Miltank though... I might have went too far by using Blue Crusher...

You could always trade it or give it to someone else. Like, I don't know, a Pokémon adoption. But I think you've already thought of that, haven't you?

Ah? Yeah, I've considered that... But I wouldn't want to just give it away, you know? Maybe if it was to someone who I knew would take care of it and would like the thing...

Pretty sure it's got something to do with the number of badges you got.

Isn't that what a screening process is for? So you can gauge who'll be the best suited for the job.

What is the meaning of this? [ Seriously, Emperor Saber? ] You intend to play games with some doppelganger?

So you can only take on the beef team if you've already proved yourself?

...

Sounds like some kind of arena thing.

Screening process? No way! While I'd rather just know they'd take care of it, I'd have just as much fun giving it to someone who would find it embarrassing to have.

Ah, if it isn't the original Cutest Knight! *cackle* What's wrong with that, eh? She's pretty damn amusing so far. It's kind of funny too, almost like seeing you make a lot of amusing expressions.

Is the original not always superior? [ Gosh, she's starting to sound like Gilgamesh. Someone put her out of her misery. ] An embarrassing display for certain, but I am content so long as many others can tell the difference between us.

Will you not tell me of this game the lot of you are playing?

Makes sense to me. Did a lot of arena fighting?

Hooo? You aren't worried about someone picking sides, are you? I think it's pretty darn easy to tell the two of you apart though.

The name of it, huh? I doubt it has any official name beyond a race to the top.

Ah? Naaaah... Just the way it sounds to me. I wouldn't be surprsied if there's some kind of battle arena hiding in the depths back home... Or on another tower...

Perhaps not. [ The place being so damn peaceful, that is. ] Still, too much peace, and the world becomes incredibly dull, almost stagnant! Surely this realm holds some sort of sporting event, aside from the actual battles themselves.

Miltank? A Pokemon of hers?

Well, it's not like peace is a way of the land or anything. I mean we pit monsters against each other for fun. *Blink blink.* Sporting event...? Sorry, uh... I don't know anything about sports. Aside from V-Boarding, anyway.

Yeah! It's supposedly her power hitter, but... I kind of flattened the thing. *literally.*

So you're the mischievous type. ...find the manliest man you can find and tell them it'll grow up to be the stronger Pokémon ever, in that case.

"V-Boarding"? I have not heard of this.

[ Arches a brow. ] And that would explain the suspicious crater?

Ah, now that is a problem... Since I'm the manliest man around, anyone I find just wouldn't be up to snuff.

Seriously? It's the most popular and only big competitive sport back where I'm from. I was into it for a while, but I never got crazy for it... I couldn't ever do any of those crazy mid-air flips without nearly falling off.

Hey hey, didn't I say that was there when I came here?

[ Dismissive shrug. ] Perhaps you are truly not capable of such feats. It would not be surprising.

And yet it seems you are the first to make a note of it? Why make mention of a crater already having been there? It should have already been part of the scenery.

Oi oi... You're not allowed to judge like that when you don't even know what V-Boarding is.

What can I say? People just aren't as observant as they should be.

Not without something or someone creating it.

Why not just give the egg to your friend? The pokemon's probably waited long enough.

...you? You're kidding, right?

No, of course not. Were it a competition between the two, she would be overwhelmed. It would not be fair with my expertise of this area and her novicehood.

A race to the top? To the Elite Four then?
