[ 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. ]

It's better to have him proven wrong than to have him be proven right, though.

... I'm not sure.

I think if I had advice to give you, I would've had advice for myself before I went looking for that Mareep.

Where did you encounter that Pokémon, again?

I might recommend keeping a stock of Repel if you go into the wild often, in areas with the more pugnacious types of Pokémon.

The National Park, during the Bug-Catching Competition. You can rest assured that I'll be steering clear of there in future.

I think I might do that - I haven't really used them before, but with winter approaching, now might be a good time to start.

I'd definitely recommend it. It comes in handy.
