[Here's Joker this fine morning, twirling a Glacier Badge between his fingers while Rogue the Furret stays wrapped around his shoulders with some pleased chirping noises. He seems exhausted, although in a pleasant way. Someone clearly just got done with a Gym battle.]

I have ta say, I'll give it ta that Pryce... Clever old codger. Gave my lot a run for our money even with the strength difference. Guess it's true what they say about age and experience, eh?

[He finally stops toying with the badge, tucking it away and giving a grin to the camera. Rogue gets a ear scratch for his troubles.]

It seems like a shame ta leave right after that in such a nice little town like this! Anythin' interestin' ta see, for those who've passed through before? Or... [A thoughtful hum.] Wonder if I could make it ta Blackthorn real quick... Wouldn't mind finishin' things up.

[ And there's a whistle of appreciation there. ]

Best of luck for the last one, then! But plenty of time for all that, eh? Best to enjoy the road now that you're all the way out there.

[ And a grin. ]

Any tips for a first timer?

Me and the fine miss that runs Blackthorn's are well acquainted with one another. All I have ta do now is actually win against her. She's a fierce one- I'll be lookin' forward ta it.

[Nice to see if Clair's reputation holds up, after all.]

Well, gettin' a type advantage always helps, but s'all down ta strategy. So long as ya can coordinate your team as a whole, then ya always have a chance ta win overall.

Not a problem for you, I'd wager! S'what you've been doing all your life, after all.

[ But he'll be making a mental note of that bit. ]

I've gone off myself, actually. Heading off with Will to take on the gyms. He's got it in his head that it's something he's absolutely got to do for some reason.

That's right. Didn't really bother with it all when I first got here but here's my chance to make up for it, I suppose!

Mind if I throw your question back at you then? Anywhere noteworthy I should take a butchers round once we're off?

Ever take a gander at the Alph Ruins? Interestin' place ta be, although they'll eat up a day! Got a few a my team from 'round there.

I haven't! That's prolly something Mister Spears might want to see.

Whereabouts might I find said ruins?

Blimey, that's buggering close. Must've run right past those the first time I got here.

Thanks for the tipoff! I'll give that a dekko once we get to Violet.
