Round 6 [Video/Action for Route 33, just outside Violet]

[starpunching]

I...I think I'm gonna challenge the gymleader again soon. We didn't do so good last time, but we got a lot of real good trainin' and I worked real hard to learn a lot o' stuff. My Pokemon n' I are just tryin' to get in a little more trainin' before we challenge him, though.

...I'm actually a little nervous, y'know? Heh heh, it kinda feels like a match back home. A kinda mix o' nervous n' excited all at the same time!

Oh, uh...before I forget! It shoulda taken a real long time to get to Violet from Goldenrod, right? 'Cause I was in Goldenrod like, last week or somethin' n' when I woke up the other day, I was a day or so outside of Violet. Does stuff like that just happen here or what? And I thought that uh, a...a buddy o' mine was still here, but...

But when I woke up, I tried callin' him and I still couldn't get hold of him...

Musta been some kinda crazy dream or somethin', right?

_{[His shoulders slump a little.]}



...We're gonna do our best to beat the gymleader. We've got a disadvantage as far as types go, but I think we can do it this time! _{[Mac grins a determined little grin and the feed shuts off.]}

It's not kid! It's Cocona! Cocona Bartel!

[ video ] No problem! I...actually didn't notice until now.

_{[Mac makes a mental note to stop calling kids..."kid." Most of them don't seem to like it.]}

R-Right, right! Nice to meetcha, Cocona. I'm Mac, by the way.

[ video ] ... I'm such a winner.

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you too, Mac!

Are you on a journey to get your badges too?

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

I...guess I am, yeah!

There ain't nothin' like a good challenge, y'know?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Ah... Did you want to go back home like a lot of people too?

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Well...Johto ain't bad, but yeah kinda.

But from what I hear, people just go back when they go back. Ain't like they get to choose, right?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's kinda scary though.

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

"Kinda" nothin'! The whole idea of just suddenly disappearin' or whatever totally freaks me out.

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

I've been here for nine months and I haven't disappeared yet...

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

...I guess I can count on goin' home later than sooner, huh?

_{[geez mac when did you get to be such a downer]}

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

W-Well, um... Not like that! I... actually don't know. [sob.]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Uh...!

_{[Oh man. Did he just make a girl sad? He's pretty sure he just made a girl sad and oh god doc would be so disappointed in him right now what do]}

[ video ] 2/2

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

W-well, I guess if there's nothin' I can do there ain't no use in complainin' about it! Might as well, uh, do what I can do here, right?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Yeah! If you have power, you should do something with it! If you think you're better off here, then take advantage of all good things here!

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

_{[He's not sure about "better off" but...]}

...Yeah. Yeah, I'll do that! Thanks, ki- Uh, Cocona!

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

You almost said "kid" again...

[ video ]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I-I'll work on that...!

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

[She giggles.]

I was kidding, Mac! It's okay, but I'll look forward to it.
