Function (1) - Text/Action for Route 29

[ladywithnovoice]

[Eventually, after punching Royce and a couple one sided conversations and getting the hang of battling before anything else, Red finally discovers her own 'Gear has a text function. She actually types a lot... It's just that none of it really goes through, every line deleted. There's so much to say, she doesn't even know where to start.]

[Well... Royce is on information gathering duty, as much as he hates talking with people, so she finally decides to go with something more mundane.]

I don't know who voted for all the rain, but I don't suppose anyone wants to let a lady borrow an umbrella? [A pause before she adds-] Or a pack of cigarettes.

[And because she can't help herself...]

As for these Pokemon, are there any kind that can sing? Or any more dogs. I wouldn't mind another if I could figure out where to find one.

[For anyone in New Bark or on the route itself, they'll be able to see Red along it along with an Electrike that's constantly chasing Pokemon out of the tall grass. They're both actually rather quiet, but she's quick to look up when she realizes there's someone else nearby. Well... Someone besides Royce, who's nearby as wel and who she's also keeping an eye on.]

i'm not good with people.

[text]

[awesmazings]

Huh...well, no better time than now to get better with people, right?

[Jimmy can't relate with you there friend, unfortunately.]

[text]

[me_first]

it's


difficult.

[text]

[awesmazings]

Hm. Well, that's okay. Everybody's different, but I think once you've been here a while it'll get easier!

[Jimmy...]

[me_first]

[He feels like an old man now but -]

how old are you?

[text]

[awesmazings]

I'm fifteen!

[Presumably.]

[text]

[me_first]

[Yep, definitely an old man.]

i'm 37. red is 27.

[awesmazings]

[Ahaha oh gosh, well. ...Jimmy is certain you guys are kids at heart!!

..Maybe. Probably.]

Gotcha! Sounds like people from kids to teenagers to adults and everything inbetween get brought here.

[text]

[me_first]

[Possibly.]

ah.

... i was merely saying that i'm somewhat set in my ways.

[text]

[awesmazings]

Right, right...well, that's okay too! As long as you're doing whatever you're happy with, it doesn't really matter anyway.

[Jimmy's idea of happiness is getting along with people, but you know- to each their own.]

that reminds me! is there anywhere i can get a computer?

[text]

[awesmazings]

A computer? Um...well there are PCs that you can use in all of the Pokemon Centers! And I think there's an electronics store in Goldenrod City.

[text]

[me_first]

... ah. so it will be a while until I can get my own computer.

[That's. Distressing.]

[text]

[awesmazings]

Yeah, probably. If you guys plan on heading to Goldenrod though, you should try checking out the electronics place! You might find what you're looking for there.

[text]

[me_first]

i suspect that we'll have to find a way to get more money...

[text]

[awesmazings]

You can get money when you challenge the gyms! There are also different jobs you can get in some towns too, I think...and I work at a traveling circus, so that's where I get my money from.

[text]

[me_first]

i suspect you don't mean personal fitness centers.

[Because he is not getting on some of those stupid machines you can't make him.]

a circus. i don't think i've ever been to one! or if i have it's been a very long time.

Re: [text]

[awesmazings]

Nope! Has anyone told you about the gyms yet?

And yeah, a circus! If you and Red are ever in town when there's a show, you guys should come watch! It's loads of fun.

[text]

[me_first]

no. i believe there was something in the handbook about it but it wasn't very clear.

maybe we will! we'll see.

[text]

[awesmazings]

Well, there are gyms in certain towns that you can challenge with your Pokemon! If you beat the leader, you win a badge. Badges are useful for training strong Pokemon, and you get money and TMs too!

[Hi Royce.]

[That sure is a delicate little hand reaching over to pinch and twist your side.]

[At least it's not a Pokeball being thrown again.]

[me_first]

[He actually growls a little bit in pain and narrows his eyes at Red.]

... What?

[ladywithnovoice]

[Baby.]

I'll keep my file to myself, thanks.

[me_first]

[That hurts when you don't have much cushion for it. :| ]

... Oh.

[... Right.]
