[ 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. ]

I think you'll be okay.

I...I will.

I think I've ran out of tears to cry, anyway. I cried them all during those first few days without him.

It can be horrible, and at the same time...not really.

I've found things here I would never have found in my world... things I threw away. Eventually, there will come the time when Ken and I part ways, too.
action!
...all of us will have to leave eventually. And even though I want...I want to see my brother again, I don't want to leave any of you here. Not you, not Ken, not the new friends I've made here.

Well, I know that no matter what I do, I don't. [The last word is has a bitter tone to it, like something distasteful that had to be spat out.]

I used to travel with a big group, last year. I think there were ten of us last October. There are four of us left now.
