[ Today's is a rare intentional post! Though he doesn't talk immediately. He frowns at the camera for a few seconds, then sighs. ]

Challenging the Goldenrod gym was a bit of a nightmare when it happened. The gym leader in Violet was less...unique... and I guess I'm glad he didn't to put me in a dress, but I take back my words from when I said to someone that a gym leader qualifies if they do their job right.

[ He reaches for something placed next to the gear, and--voila! Guess who won the Zephyr badge just a short while ago? He looks at it, then looks even more disgruntled. Forced into a dress, fake bottomless pits, self-confidence issues and the threat of being Earthquake'd.

And then there had been Falkner.

... Siiiigh. ]

It would be hypocritical of me to say that all he talked about was his father, I suppose.

[ beat. ]

On a different note, in less than a month I'd have been in this world for a year. I've been to a lot of cities, but the only school I've seen teaches only on topics related to Pokémon. How do the people here learn anything else?

[ ooc: the Zephyr Badge is mod-approved! and as it is 2a.m. before school, replies will come tomorrow, uh, afternoon. ]

How far will you go?

As far as I can take myself.

Is that far enough?

It depends on how far I go. I'm not one of those interested in the top.

Then, what are you interested in?

In doing what I have to do. Everything else can come after that.

Who's to say there will be time after?

Nobody. That's why what I have to do comes first.

Pragmatic of you. Is what you have to do what you want to do?

... I lost faith in what I wanted to do shortly before I found what I have to do.

Was the trade-off worth it?

[ A shrug. ] I'm not sure. I would rather that it didn't have to happen, but there's no going back.

Mm... [consideration, evident. then--] What's your favourite brand of ice-cream, Miles?

-- What?

Ice cream, ice cream!

I don't eat ice cream.

So, if someone gave you ice-cream, you wouldn't eat it? Or you couldn't eat it?

-- I'd accept it regardless of the flavor. I don't have much preference for it.

Then saying that you 'don't eat ice-cream' is a little misleading, isn't it?

It was honest, though.

Misleading but honest. I like the ring of that.

[ He chuckles. ] You would, wouldn't you?

It's almost poetic.

Do you like poetry?

Maybe-- though most likely not in the way you'd think it to be.
