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!]

Yeah? Never been there, what's it like?

[action]

[tapestodiane]

That depends. Philadelphia, the west coast or the States as a whole?

[action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Pick one. I've only been to Ireland, Scotland, and Japan, so I wouldn't know any of them.

I haven't been to too many places outside the States myself, so I'm not sure I'm fit to compare. The simple explanation would probably be that America isn't very different from Johto, just much more heavily industrialized. Nowhere near as many trees.

Yeah? Sounds interesting--Fuyuki City was sort of the same way. I have to admit, I'm liking this town so far--ain't exactly Ireland, but it's not bad.

_{[He smiles easily before reaching up towards the branch, and moves up to sit on it as opposed to hang in somewhat smooth movement and looks out on the town.]} Out of the towns I've been to in Johto so far this is probably my favourite.

I haven't been much further yet. But I like how many trees and things like that there are around here.

[He pulled himself up as well, looking like it took little to no effort whatsoever.]

Almost makes me feel nostalgic.

[action]

[tapestodiane]

Yeah, me too.

_{[It always reminded him a bit of Twin Peaks, this town.]}

Kinda makes me wonder what back home must look like now. Hell, I haven't seen it in years.

[action]

[tapestodiane]

You mean Ireland? _{[Since you've been places and all.]}

Re: [action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's right. It's been a pretty long time now.

[Read: two millennia, give or take a couple centuries.]

[action]

[tapestodiane]

_{[That's rough, buddy.]} You miss it?

[action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[at least my girlfriend never turned into the moon]

Once in a while, maybe. What about you?

[action]

[tapestodiane]

Let me put it this way: I wouldn't mind staying here a while longer.

[action]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

You and me both. I don't have much to go back to as things are now.

[action]

[tapestodiane]

I guess I don't either, but there's still work to be done when I return.
