I imagine quite a number of you are taking the gym challenge, but I'm curious as to what reason. Boredom? Some kind of obligation? That it just might lead to a way home?

I'm not sure. Either way I recently earned my second badge and expect to head back to Goldenrod in the near future. [A small pause here and his voice takes on a wistful little note.] Am quite excited to return to Ilex Forest. I believe it will be a beautiful sight and an invigorating hike.

[Click! Both badges are obviously mod-approved. And action for anyone in Azalea - if you find him, he's hanging from a tree by his knees, kid-style, browsing his pokégear while doing so and ... looking quite comfortable. Any gear-replies will be done in this fashion, too. Have fun with that!]

For the rewards! [[wants to use Fly so badly!]]

_{[Right, so the grass is the sky and the sky is the ground on this video feed. Just FYI. Not that Coop is adressing or indicating in any other way that he's actually upside down.]}

The Hidden Machines?

[shiromadoushi]

[[Hello upside down background! He may ask about that later. For now...]]

Un, that and the ability to use some moves outside of battle! Once I get the HM for it, Fuushi can use Fly! [[can't wait can't waaaait!]]

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

I guess I should be looking out for you in the skies, then.

_{[Cause he figures that's the deal. He's not so keen on flying himself, actually. But each to their own.]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Once I get the HM, un! [[dopy grin as he nods]] Though I have a while to go for it, but I'll be ready when we get there!

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

So how many gyms have you beaten?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- none yet. [[so sheepish]] Though I think my team is almost ready!

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

Well, good luck! If you have an electric type the first gym shouldn't be too bad.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- I don't... Most of my team are ghost types. [[This is why he's working hard to level them all pretty far before he tries it]]

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

Ghost types? _[Curious.] Any paricular reason?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[He seems to just attract them as if they recognize him as one of their own. But that's an odd thing to say and he hasn't even really realized that yet]]

I just really like that type of thing.

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

I can see why. It's definitely an interesting phenomena.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

They really are! It's really interesting, comparing the ghost types here to myths and legends of ghosts back home.

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

I've been doing that myself. It's safe to say that they seem more palpable here.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[a laugh]] Un! Definitely safe to say that! They have a far more tangible effect on reality when they're living ghosts!

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

And several don't seem as mean-spirited as some stories would shape them up to be.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Un. Most of mine are really good natured. Even Amane-chan, even if she likes being a pain.

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

Looks like almost everyone have at least one trickster in their group.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

You have one as well?

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

A Manectric with a craving for adventure, a Vulpix who's smart enough to help her out and an Eevee with a sweet mind but a prank for every occasion.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Sounds like a trio to keep you on your toes.

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

Something like that.
