Alright, Torch! Got it set?

[Now that the weather has cleared up a bit, Joker is beaming into the camera. Besides him is a bike and, for once, the ringleader is wearing a helmet. That's one worry taken care of. Practically bouncing on his heels, Joker grins.]

Alright, everyone, I know the last time I rode on a bike, it went a tad wrong. But I think I've finally got it down. Watch!

[Getting into position, he grips the handle with his one good hand and kicks out the brake. A little bit of wobbling as he pushes off, a clear sign of his imbalance with no other arm to help steady him, but soon enough he's riding around smoothly in the street. A whoop echoes out.]

[VICTORY. Joker - 1. Bike - ....way too many, but that doesn't matter.]

[Another wobble as he draws the bike to a stop, and he grins.]


And now that we've got this biking business all figured out, me and Jimmy are movin' onta other things! Torch, go on-

[The Gear is moved around to focus on Jimmy.

Jimmy is also wearing a helmet, but instead of standing next to a bike, he’s got a bright green skateboard propped up against the ground in one hand with a scyther emblazoned on the bottom. He honestly looks like he’s ready to explode with excitement himself as he spins the skateboard around before pushing it over, stepping one foot up onto it.]


We got skateboards while we were in Kanto! I haven’t gotten to ride one since I got here, and I’m gonna teach Joker how to ride, too!

[Joker pops back into the frame for a moment.]

We'll probably be okay and not die this time around.

I believe her name was Peridot.

I'm not sure tricky is the right word for it. It certainly was somewhat of a challenge, I'll say that much.

[Dio, you almost lost your shit because a Pokemon got knocked out. Don't act all cool about it now.]

[Yes. Putting some underleveled brat in their place is absolutely fun. But instead of telling the truth...]

I suppose not.

They're a bit of a mixed bag to be honest. I'm quite content with how some of them are progressing. Others though...

[How to put this, how to put this...]

Well, there's still some work to be done.

Someone? Why yes, I suppose someone is.

[He shrugs, not really having an issue with this.]

That someone being myself for setting unrealistic expectations for some of them.

[Of course it's not his fault his weaker Pokemon aren't as strong as his higher leveled ones, but still.]

Unfortunately not having any good examples to follow, I'm finding it to be learned through trial and error mostly.

[If he falls back on what he's seen, he can either act like a drunken monster towards his Pokemon or blindly favor one over the other, so yeah, he doesn't have much to go off of here.]

I suppose I could, but I'd much rather like to forge my own path here.

[It's not that he's above doing things like that, it's just harder to use it to get a leg up in this world.]

Certainly. Rest assured, if I ever have a change of heart, I'll be sure to let you know.

[Just don't wait around for it, hell will probably freeze over first.]

Not at the moment. I've been giving thought to challenging the Gyms of course, but for the time being, Goldenrod City has everything I need.

Being in Goldenrod at the moment, I suppose it would make the most sense to start here.

I can't say I like losing either. But I certainly don't cry about it.

[Dio, you liar.]
