Hard to say, this place is a little weird, and I haven't been here much longer than you have, my friend. I could definitely use a break though -- I'm looking forward to my time on the beach.
Haha, that would be very funny, wouldn't it? I might try it!
So you've only mostly experienced the cooler months, huh? I hope it all goes over well but remember the sunscreen. From what I've seen you probably burn like I do.
[ Or worse. So, here's hoping she doesn't show up at prom with the burn of the century... ]
I guess it's possible to open your own gym eventually. Think you might be interested in that sort of thing seriously? Me, I figure if I'm here that long that I'll retreat to a life of seclusion in the woods.
And the very end of Summer. But yes, I will be sure to do that. I also packed a big sun hat to keep it off my face and shoulders!
No, not at all. I'm honestly not even interested in competitive battling, at least not anymore than the casual fights around towns. I don't want to stress out my own Pokemon.
[Even though Skagbait and Mari were totally interested in battles.]
Was fall short here? Back home it's usually a hot minute, but I'm glad you already thought of it. I should probably invest in one. Baseball caps only go so far and it's already getting warmer out!
Figured you might be the type. I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm not really into it, but my pokemon seem to enjoy it the same way I like getting stronger and it makes our journey easier.
Does this mean you're thinking of the isolated woods life, too? :)
It's... hard to say. There was so much happening that I barely remember much at all. I... also didn't go outside much. I needed to regain my energy.
I still level and battle my own Pokemon, but it's only out of fun. I wouldn't want to make it a huge competition. I am glad you and your team are enjoying it.
Oh no, not at all. I'm thinking of finding a nice little place to stay in one day and letting all of my Pokemon stay there. That way I don't have to put them in boxes.
From when you were where you came from or something else?
I agree, though I can be fiercely competitive when challenged. It's an easier way to make money than working behind a counter and if my pokemon like it, why not give it a go?
Well, don't get too comfy. You'll have to make a trip to visit us whenever that happens! I agree about the boxes, though. It's part of why we've talked about this. I'm already at a team of four and I don't want to have more than six until I can leave them somewhere other than a day care.
I'm glad you're alright now. You ARE alright, aren't you?
I don't mind that. Chris'll do stock occasionally or help with heavy lifting, but I don't have much of a bedside manner. I can definitely see how you do, though. I think you're probably really good at that.
That's good! I guess if we also settle down, I'll try to make sure it's not too much of a hassle!
I'm really glad to hear that, I honestly am. Considering what I know of your life, I think you deserve it.
I see. I'm sure there's a job for that, though. It's just as invaluable.
OK, OK. I get it. I'm not ditching prom even if it means I have to wear something I can't fight in. Not like I've had any scuffles here, anyway. I mean, it's a pretty long event, right? No way we can be missed.
There is, and I enjoy doing it. It's something I'd like to stick with, maybe get back into once we're settled again.
Good. I look forward to you being there. I am certain you won't have to fight there. Even if you do, as long as you're able to have your Pokemon with you.
You're welcome. Hope the good times keep coming for you.
Glad to hear it. I'm still just kind of floating along with Chris, but I'm alright with it all being kind of aimless and simple for now. I've never really had time off. Straight out of high school, I went to the army and never stopped. It's nice to do something just for me for once.
I wonder how that'll work out, by the way? I assume most people will have their pokemon out. We don't have too many run-ins with trainers outside of battles so ours seem to latch on pretty easily to friendly pokemon. I'm just worried about Chris' Bewear...
I hope you get to keep doing things for you, Jill. I think you deserve a break just as much as I do.
Sometimes it's okay to have Pokemon that don't fight. My Floette rarely gets into a fight. Unless you are saying he is unfriendly? I could be interpreting things wrong...
I'm just happy being with Chris, however much time we get together. Kinda cliche and lame, but it feels less... complicated when he's around? It's always been "Jill and Chris" as long as I can remember and I don't mind my individuality being that.
Man, I'm lame.
She likes to fight! The thing is she doesn't seem to get her own strength and has a hard time holding back. I guess being affectionate is a trait of their type. Guess Chris is the right trainer for her, he's about the only person I can think of that could survive a bone-crushing hug. On the other hand, it's best friends with my Eevee.
[ Case in point, she sends an attached photo of a very content-looking Bewear sleeping in a sitting position with a just as happy Eevee curled in its lap and a Pachirisu over its shoulder. It's a far cry from the days when Bewear was Stufful, that's for sure. ]
I understand. With Krieg, things... I suppose they're still complicated, but they're less frightening. Not much can scare you when your best friend has arms the size of tree-trunks.
If that makes you lame then surely I'm just the same.
Maybe you should work on finding Pokemon that can withstand her grasp? If she and Chris are able to bond, then maybe you need more Pokemon that are like Chris. Perhaps a Machoke? ... She's very cute though. All of your Pokemon are.
I think I'd rather be complicated than overly simple. But I hear you on that. Chris wasn't quite this muscular three years ago, but I guess it's the natural course of things. I've changed, too.
I guess I have to take it back, then. ;)
Hm... I was pretty sure Pachirisu was exactly like him, but I guess you're right now that I've seen that one! I didn't even know that existed. I'll show that to him later.
We kind of got off on a rough start since she'd hurt Chris, but I'm pretty fond of her. Chris recently got a Fennekin, as well. Are fire types hard to find or something? He got it from an egg because we were having poor luck finding one and it seemed essential with all the camping we do to have something that could help keep us warm.
Now that I think about it, he has a lot of really cute pokemon... I'll be sure to tease him about that, too.
... You know, I just realized that I rhymed there, haha.
Hopefully it helps both Chris and your Beware! I don't want her to feel bad because she hurt people. I know sometimes it can be hard for Pokemon to restrain themselves -- just like with any other animal, I suppose.
I'm not sure? Krieg has a bunch of fire types, and I have Bailey, so there hasn't been a huge struggle on our part. Perhaps they're just harder to come by in earlier areas?
That's what we're trying to teach her. She's so affectionate, but she doesn't seem to get she's not like some of the other ones and a hug from her can crush bones. She's well-meaning, so we've mostly tried the "let us hug you" approach, but she really likes to respond. It probably feels like she's not holding anyone at all when she does it lightly.
I hope so! I'd like to see more of them outside of the ones we've met. I know there's Charizard and Talonflame, but I haven't seen any in the wild. I don't think we've seen any fairy types except for yours and that's on screen...
Maybe just a little bit! Do any of yours feel, well, "like you"?
I know what you are doing, and I'm judging you for it.
You and Chris both seem like very determined people. I am certain that in time, you two will figure out what needs to be done, and your Bewear will be all the better for it. I believe in you two.
Hopefully at prom you'll be able to meet Bailey. She's a fire and flying type, and has a very "spicy" personality.
Probably Adorababy. He's very reserved at times but he cares for everyone he's close to, and even some people he's never even met before.
Thank you. I guess we'll have to keep a close eye on her for now and make sure she's not over-excited by the prospect of hugging people.
You say you're judging me and yet you made that joke. I don't really think it's fair to play at a game like that.
I'd say that sounds a lot like you, at least based on how well I know you/what I know of you. I wouldn't want to be presumptuous and act like I know you extremely well or anything, but it seems fitting.

I keep hearing about them. Hope the weather's better there, at least!
You sound like a gym leader saying something like that.
no subject
It's sunnier, and the breeze smells like the sea. I... might not want to leave, to be honest.
Surprise, Jill. I have actually been a gym leader all along.
no subject
Hm, but what's your specialty, then? The Cute Badge?
no subject
It certainly sounds like you could use a break. I hope you are able to get one soon. Or at the very least, the weather will change soon.
No, don't be silly. It's the Hope Badge.

You could probably use a break, too, considering.
Great name! Imagine all the lines you can use with that one: you better Hope you can win! Etc.

The first one.
That's true. Though I much prefer helping people out at the Pokecenters. I like being able to make them feel better about their friends.
Even if I do settle down, I'll still make lots of trips to come see people. I promise!!!!

More than alright. The best I have ever been.
I'm just good at comforting the people who bring the Pokemon in. I... couldn't ever tend to an injured Pokemon I don't think. I'd be too upset.
Good. I want to see you, and I'll keep saying it until I do.
