[ The video is shaky, as whichever Pokémon recording trudges through the sand of the beach. The weather in Cianwood is beautiful today--blue sky, blue ocean, white sand and a slight breeze! You can see an orange pool float bobbing up and down on the waves, with a family of electric mice soaking up the sun.

And there's Miles, sitting on the sand.

He's clearly got no agenda to get in the water with the short sleeved shirt he's wearing, or the book lying open on his lap, but he's enjoying summer in his own way. Jason the Cubone is sitting right next to him, diligently building a sand castle. He needs help often, though, so Miles isn't getting much reading done because he keeps having to hold the bucket for his Pokémon or dig a moat with him...

and the camera-mon finally reaches the pair, setting the gear down on an upturned bucket before a Charmander waddles into the screen, plopping herself down on one of her trainer's knees. Miles rubs her head and turns to the camera, picking it up. He's grown used to it recording without him intending to.. :|a

He's in a pretty good mood today. ]

Ken and I've arrived in Cianwood. I could have done without the ferry ride, but this town is quite beautiful. I've never really been to a beach before, either...

I was told on the way here that there's a place called a Safari Zone nearby--what is it, exactly, does anybody know?

... Are you sure she's a gym leader?

From:

Quite sure.

... Are gym leaders even allowed to do that? I mean, that's just demoralizing.

They're skilled enough at what they do to be given approval to run their gym. They're not politicians, though, so I don't think their character has much influence.

Unless, of course, they treat their Pokémon or challengers cruelly, or participate in criminal activities. Miss Whitney is just easy to move to tears, is all.

I guess that makes sense, though it's weird if she can't even handle each loss properly. I mean, how many challengers does she get a day, after all?

I admit I don't know the numbers, but if she didn't cry, the Goldenrod gym wouldn't be the same.

Probably not, but it'll cause less awkward victories in the future.

That is for you to work out, I think. [ He chuckles--then rather bitterly. ]

In your case, I'm sure they won't mistake you for a girl and throw a dress on you.
