imprinting: (vows are spoken)
[today, fine citizens of Johto, we find our hero loitering around the edge of Violet, under a tree on Route 32. he's just sitting there, looking at the 'gear to make sure it turned on, then away for a second (presumably to check on his team, but they're behaving for once), then back to the screen.]

So what does everyone do when they're not training? It's been, what, more than three months since some of us got here, and there's still nothing to do.

[pause. a slight frown, but he recovers!]

Nothing to do that isn't centered on Pokémon, anyway, and if no one's found a way to go home that isn't disappearing randomly... Well, nothing really happens. I guess this is more literal than I hoped getting stuck in a video game would would be.

If there's someone up there with a handheld, they're pretty bad at this.

[another pause, and then he clears his throat and looks away because really, Neku, what the hell are you saying. awkwardly:]

So, uh, yeah. What do you do when you're tired of training?
