3.3 | Goldenrod | Video

[scratchitti]

[The video opens up to a lovely view of Goldenrod from the air. Out of the corner of the camera one can see flapping orange and blue wings, and Neku's Dragonite turns her head to trill at the gear]

Pretty nice view, huh? Never thought I'd miss this place. Hey, Berry. Down.

[Blueberry trills again and dives, the view spinning sickingly before the dragon lands on the street, scattering a flock of pidgey. Neku jumps down and turns the Gear towards himself.]

I was thinking of staying in Kanto after getting this.

[He shoves his hand in his pocket and pulls out the feather like Earth badge]

But I dunno... can you be homesick for someplace that isn't your home? Whatever, I'm here if anyone wants to catch up or anything.

That's not what I mean.

It's like, I wanna see everyone, be around people for a bit- but I can enjoy it more knowing that I'm not forced to. Does that make any sense? I know I can leave whenever I want, but being in Kanto so long means no one EXPECTS me to stay either.

...that makes sense, yes. Knowing that you have to be anywhere is just going to make you want to leave even more.

I thought you'd get it.

I AM glad to be back though. The routes get too quiet sometimes.

While I prefer the solitude, several months at a time can be...grating.

[Never again will he tackle Mt. Mortar in its entirety, basically.]

I've been back since leaving Blackthorn.

[scratchitti]

Yeah?

I'm not surprised, this is where you started too, right?

Though I guess you have more pressing reasons to be around here then I do.

...I had to check on my Espurr.

[scratchitti]

The ones from that swarm?

[text; private]

[unkinder]

Yes. I left them behind with my Meowstic while I was traveling. I don't usually keep them in the PC.

[...god he almost doesn't want to bring it up.]

You haven't checked the Network recently, have you.

[scratchitti]

I was FLYING, what happened oh god did they all die?!

[text; private]

[unkinder]

No, they did not.

They...bred. Unexpectedly.

[scratchitti]

... didn't you have like, a lot of them?

[text; private]

[unkinder]

I had eight, including two Meowstic, a male and female pair. But I had thought that all of the Espurr were male. ...it turns out that two of them are female.

HOLY CRAP

[unkinder]

[Well, at least he's not laughing.]

I've been trying to get rid of them all week.

[text; private]

[scratchitti]

Well, if you can't home them I could take some?

[text; private]

[unkinder]

...I hope you realize that I still have ten eggs that haven't been claimed.
