[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.

What, not even airplanes?

[Geez, that's... kinda tough to imagine, so have a wide-eyed stare.]

But did you have cars? Boats? Anything like that?

[pipers_son]

There are cars, yeah, but they're a rare sort- I've only heard about 'em from my father.

[He gives a chuckle.]

And I can't think a any place that wouldn't even have boats.

[islandshore]

A desert? But it's not like deserts exist in a vacuum. There's gotta be an ocean out there somewhere...

[And aren't boats a natural means to traverse the sea? It'd have to be a pretty backwards place to not have even the most basic rafts.]

[pipers_son]

Suppose so, but that's all beyond me! Like I've told ya before, England wasn't much like any sorta desert.

[islandshore]

True. And, now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen any deserts here...

[Sure, there's islands like Cinnabar, but those are literally surrounded by water. They're also generally more tropical than arid.

So are there any deserts in this world, period?]

[pipers_son]

Well, that ain't unusual, is it? I can't speak much for Kanto, but with how close it is ta Johto... They don't seem too much that different from the isles I'm from. The weather seems usually the same as well, save for the more tropical places and places like the ice path.
