A party! That's definitely some cause for celebration, innit? Looks pretty high class, too. Back where I'm from, wasn't often common folks got ta go ta secret fancy places like an Elite Four's home for things like that. Course, that sorta thing ain't much interestin' if not for the people, if ya ask me.

Good thing it looks like a lot of us are goin', then, huh? And some celebrities, too! That's definitely gonna liven things up.

But enough about that for now! Callin' all breeders and folks with businesses in Johto! As Ringleader and owner a the Eve's Garden Circus, I'd like ta extend a hand ta all of ya. I got an idea in my head the other day and was wonderin' if some of ya would like ta have stalls ta sell yer wares and eggs on the big days. For ya business owners, we can talk about settin' up permanent stalls. For breeders, we'd have a whole section for the lot of ya where ya could make yerselves comfortable.

Let me know what ya all think!

Oh, an' one last thing.... I don't suppose any of ya know things about Clair, do ya? Things she likes, favorite flowers, things like that. [JOKER, NO.]

Back ta this prom thing, don't worry 'bout me holdin' ya back. Yer more than welcome ta take a bit a time for it. I ain't a heartless monster, ya know, and besides- I'll be goin' there too as ya mighta guessed.

Just make sure ta work extra hard ta make up for it!

[Joker is just that obnoxiously friendly, Chihiro, don't mind him.]

then its settled!! we'll have to meet in person sometimes. these littl devices sure are handy but sometimes nothing beats flesh and blood!! although i might be biased since we dont have these sort of things where im from

You don't have technology back home?

[While Chihiro does appreciate Joker's enthusiasm to make friends, he's clearly honed in on something of the utmost importance here.]

we have some technology but nothing as fancy as this. some people have phones but theyre only those nobility types and even then ive heard theyre not that reliable.

Oh, I see.. it must be nice to have access to this kind of technology here. Back in my home there are things similar, and some forms of technology even far more advanced.

it definitely makes things easier!!!! im not sure if i'll ever get used to it however. its really different.

youll have to tell me about it sometime then!

Technology like this isn't new to me....I'm very used to it.

Working with computers is what I like to do best, actually.

you sound like you would like my zoroark invidia then. he likes fiddling around with the gear when im not using it but im afraid i am not the kind of person who can really help him with this!!

Maybe if we get the chance to meet in person I can show Invidia all about how it works?

i bet hed like that!! in fact i could have him talk to you right now if youd like.

Oh..? Well...ok then.

[He hasn't actually experienced a Pokemon communicating with him beyond his Porygon yet, so color him surprised.]

hold on

[boop boop boop... And then more words appear, with proper capitalization and such thought out.]

Hello. My name is Invidia. I was told by Papa that you know about computers?

Hello, Invidia. Yes, I know a lot about computers.

Would you teach me how to be good on computers? Papa is okay with it but he does not know about them.

[He is very very nervous about asking this, but he doesn't emote very well through text.]

[It's ok, that's precisely the reason Chihiro prefers text over anything else. It gives him time to collect his thoughts, even if he's nervous.]

I can try, if you would like me to.

Yes please. I promise I will be a good student. Papa says I am very smart.

If your Papa says so then it must be true. I'm glad you're interested in computers...not a lot of people are, sometimes.

[Well, people. Pokemon are a whole other ballgame.]

Yes. Papa knows a whole lot. That's why he's the ringleader.

There was someone on the network that managed to make a game because they were really smart with computers. To be able to do something is very impressive because I heard that it's just a lot of numbers, right?

That's right. It takes a lot of work to make any kind of program- like a game- because of that.

[Now Chihiro's curious to know who this game maker is...]

I want to try to make some things while I'm here, too. Not necessarily a game, though.

What do you plan on making?

I'm not sure yet...I need to figure out what the limitations of these Gears are, but...

...there was a program I was working on before I came here. I want to try to finish it.
