When you've run into a wall with no place to go

[ 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. ]

 Y-You meanie...! 

[ Oh, it's that oddly familiar crying. Need I state why you're hearing this sound again, Johto? Probably not--those white sneakers on the screen definitely belong to the crybaby gym leader of Goldenrod, and there are only so many situations in which she cries. As the camera keeps rolling, Miles' voice speaks up, sounding more impatient than usual. ]

Miss, there's no use crying. I won, can I please just--

You meanie, you bully--!

You'll have to wait a little until she stops crying to get your badge, honey, she always gets like this.

I know that. [ Miles sounds so upset right now, it's actually a bit funny. Jason, who's holding the camera, turns around while the shota keeps talking. There's Remus over by Ken (who looks like he's trying hard not to laugh--maybe at Miles troubling over the crying Whitney), having a celebratory party with Romulus and their baby, Perseus, and Pess and Pip are nearby, too. He turns back around to Miles just as he finishes talking. ] I know she cries, and I'll wait for my badge, but this is beyond the-- I want my clothes back.

Oh, but you look so cute right now! [ The girls from the gym are all speaking up and arguing about giving Miles back his clothes, but Miles is just as adamant 8( You can't blame him, though--

Jason raises the camera to show more than just Miles' feet. If your'e watching this feed, you'll see that Miles is wearing a dress.

Yes. A dress. The lasses and ladies at the gym thought he was a girl. 8( ]

You should totally keep wearing it! You'll be a perfect match with that little girl we put the tiara on and--

I want my clothes. Now. [ and a click! as Jason decides THIS IS BORING and turns off the camera to go play with Nemesis-- ]



[ EXTRA BROADCAST: from later in the evening. ]

[ Now it is time for Remus to be a proud papa. You know those parents that like to take videos of their babies? Of their babies doing absolutely nothing at all? Remus is like that, and since his trainer is sulking anyway, he's gotten his hands on the Gear and is recording his and Romulus' baby.

Percy the Minun is rolling around the hotel room, poking Nemesis and Growling, getting dragged away from Castor while Growling, running at Pip and Kirby and Growling, hugging Romulus and Growling at Cara who is nearby. He even Growls at the monster-looking thing created by a pile of pillows. And a lamp. And eventually coming to a stop near the Great Orange Wall named Pess, he Growls at her, too.

And all he does is Growl at her. For fifteen minutes. ]

Isn't he great?? [ 8DDDD Remus is a Proud Papa. ]
