But while there certainly are a lot of things to do in Johto, the thing is, for Cooper, that there's not really any challenges - and that's something he's been struggling with for a while, long before he came to Twin Peaks (that town provided plenty of challenges and he embraced them and tackled them) ... when his mind gets restless it becomes a little dangerous.]
