Now that everyone has hopefully had enough time to recover from the events regarding those tunnels and the mysterious creature within...

I have been thinking about that quite a bit, I must confess. Isn't it intriguing that, even in a world so developed and known as this, there are still mysteries spread throughout it?

Species we are not familiar with. Legendaries that evade all attempts to be known. Macaroni and cheese boxes which boast about their cheesiness and which yet contain no packet.

[One of these things is not like the other.]

So, my question to others in our predicament is... What mysteries have held your attention, whether in this place, or your homelands?

For myself, personally, I have ended up stumbling onto the answers of many practical matters. Medicine, food, things of that nature. It is still incredible to me how Johto and Kanto manage to handle it all so readiliy, to the point that even travelers such as ourselves can live comfortably with some effort.

Yet I wonder more about these Legendaries as well, and what an interesting presence they possess....

Oh, no, not at all.

...Well, that actually depends on who you ask, I guess? My uncle would say he's the one who's rich and all, and it's not like that's all just big talk- But it kind of is. Like, he's really big on me learning to value hard work and all that, and same goes for the rest of the family. But if we need something, he'll help us out. I mean, he'll definitely make sure he's doing it as inexpensively as possible, but he'll still help.

[Louie opens his mouth and closes it, looking rather thrown off by that. It's not that he doesn't know why he's so focused on money, it's just something people don't usually question him on. Not here, and not even back home. He's not sure he's ever had to explain it before.]

Well, you need money for basically anything. And nicer things usually need more money; I like those nicer things. Besides, when you don't have enough, there's more to worry about. It's harder to just be comfortable.
pennyloafer: (well...)

We live well enough now, sure. It's- Well, it's a family thing, but for a while my uncles didn't have anything to do with each other. When it was just my brothers and our uncle Donald, things weren't good. And I don't want that again.

Um... Well, not really? I mean, I'm always looking for TMs to teach new moves to my pokemon that they can pass down. That can really add to the value of eggs, if you're selling them.

But really, it doesn't seem to matter if I'm saving up for something particular. I mean, there's always going to be stuff that looks cool to buy.

Is Gremlin one of your pokemon? He plays video games? Huh, weird.

[Maybe he ought to introduce Gremlin to Beryllium. Louie's Tatsugiri loves to browse the internet and has recently even started browsing forums.]

Yeah, at least for now. I've got a room at the gym where I work.

Okay, I have to check that out sometime. A pokemon who streams is something I did not see coming.

Oh, absolutely. I don't think I can miss that.
