[Everyone is greeted by the sound of hoofbeats today, clippity clop before things cut to video as Dave and Lady B his Rapidash exit Whitney's gym. You can distantly hear Whitney claiming it was all unfair as Nakadile walks out with him. Dave and croc fist bump and he keeps walking.]

So that's two down for this region. Probably going to gear up for the next stuff after this. But first, judging from the network mystery eggs we found at christmas are all weird.

[He directs the camera to his Zorua that's black and blue. The mischievous thing is bounding from spot to spot, hopping up on bigger things with one goal in mind.

Seconds later this goal becomes real as Dave holds his arms out and gets a bundle of fuzz in it.] Haven't ever heard of this before so, give some deets on this.

[He pauses to lightly noggie his new bro before continuing.] And what exactly is all the dragons and where. I'm on a mission.

She's here yeah. Been here for going on two something years now. [Connect the dots here.]

[Still thinking, but it's hard not to know someone who hasn't been here that long.] Does her name happen to be Rose Lalonde? She told me about her brother who wasn't here at the time; said he enjoys making fun of shitty movies.

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

Shitty movies need made fun of. If no one does they don't know they're shit. [That answer enough?]

[Video]

[shadowdive]

So you're Dave. I'm Vanitas. I'll have to remind Rose about that whole movie night thing whenever I get out of Kanto again.

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

Yeah, I’m Dave. Dave Strider, the older of two. Movie night? Now see here you are talking about my interests. Call my interest pinged.

[Video]

[shadowdive]

Yeah, a while ago, we were discussing shit movies. Going to theaters and throwing popcorn at the screen, that sort of thing.

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

Yes, yes. See this is what I'm talking about!

[shadowdive]

Next time I'm in Johto and the group is all together. I'd say I'm still here for a few days, but I'm preparing to take on the last four gyms in Kanto.

[video]

[moveslikestrider]

Good luck with that, and we’ll do that for sure when you roll back onto Johto.

[shadowdive]

It shouldn't be too hard, I'm just facing the elite teams for Pewter, Cerulean, Viridian and Saffron.

[video]

[moveslikestrider]

After you get eight normal badges, they pit you auto against the elite teams?

[video]

[shadowdive]

Only if you want a challenge. I had a group of level 100s before I finished my fifth gym badge, so the rest were more a matter of getting to the towns rather than needing to train. Once it's evened out from the levels being the same, it becomes a strategy game. Can't just throw water or grass types at rocks anymore, because they'll have something to counter.

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

...You know I probably will do it. It just becomes a faceroll when you go in with higher levels. You can't tell if your team is strong if you're not facing equal odds.

[Video]

[shadowdive]

Yeah. So what was the other badge you got?

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

Falkner. He enjoyed the battle so much he asked me to stay back and talk tactics. We hit it off, and if I see who took his dad's pokemon I'm going to kick their ass.

[Video]

[shadowdive]

I saw that over the network. Were there any hints?

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

None so far. I know he's hunting for them and I keep my eyes peeled when I'm out and about.

[Video]

[shadowdive]

I'll do that while we're in Kanto, just in case. We'll be traveling often enough.

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

Cool. If I hear anything or you do, we’ll get them back to him.
