Shut up!! If you keep talking like that, people are gonna here you.

[Ugh]

I'm totally not scared of ghosts, but I guess I could believe you. You look like him anyway.

[pokeboy]

Even if I didn't know how scaredy-meowth you are about ghosts, there'd be no point about me lying anyway. Who am I going to impress? And most of the trainers aren't from the same world as us either.

[toplevel]

Aren't from the same world?

[Man, what even is this. Are Dialga and Palkia involved or something?]

Is there anything... y'know, normal about this place?

[pokeboy]

Nope. All sorts of weird things happen here. [ buuut! ] Haven't you met the other trainers yet? There's some from Johto, and there's a guy who's from another world Pallet Town too.

-- Oh, and he knows a you called Gary Oak and that you took a squirtle for your starter!

[toplevel]

I haven't. Johto's not even weird. That's just over the mountain.

[But uh... Wait, what]

Gary Oak? What kind of stupid name is that? [He doesn't even care about the starter. He's probably dumb and picked the weaker one. Casual.]

[pokeboy]

What's wrong with Gary? There's nothing weird about it. [ It sounds fine to Red! ] And I wasn't saying being from Johto's weird, just that they're from Johto. A different Johto.

[toplevel]

Man, I feel bad for any kid you have. Gary is just such... such a dorky name!

[He can't explain it.]

Anyway... different how?

[pokeboy]

[ Rude!! ]

I don't know, it's just different. [ Very helpful. ] But they know people like us from Pallet Town, and one of the people from Johto has someone who looks like him too with the same name. I don't know if there's any big difference...

...oh! But they know a you too, but he's called Green Oak. ... wow, your name keeps getting changed, huh? But the me they know is called Red too.

[toplevel]

Helpful.

[People like them from Pallet Town... but wait a minute!]

Huh?! Why is my name the only one that gets changed?!

[pokeboy]

Maybe Blue sounds dorky too? Nothing wrong with Red though, obviously. [ heheh! ]

[toplevel]

Hell no! Gary and Green are way more dorky! [Yeah yeah. He pushes his hat down again.]

Other than the fact that Red is still a shrimp.

[pokeboy]

[ --JERK. Going to try pushing it back up! ]

Shut up! You were this height too!!

[toplevel]

Yeah? Keyword there is that I was that height.

You're the one who's still stuck there.

[pokeboy]

[ Red is going to take off his hat for good measure. ]

So? It's not like I can do anything about it. Anyway...

[ there's a pause - gotta think gotta think. ]

So what... [ umm ] Are you settling in okay?

[toplevel]

You could hurry up and grow up.

[So he can still laugh at you.]

Anyway... I'm doin' alright. The wings are a little weird, but I think I'm starting to get used to them.

[pokeboy]

What colour are yours? [ His own are white - but he's going to walk to Blue's side to look at his back! Meanwhile Pikachu is on the floor, looking up at Blue with a diiiirty look. ]

[toplevel]

[He turns a bit towards Red. Nothing surprisingly or special, they just come off as a pale, light blue]

Just y'know. Blue. They're so clever, huh.

[pokeboy]

[ ohh, nice colour. He hums a sound of amusement, and there's a bit of a smile on his face too, there when he looks up at Blue's face.

But it's much older that it should be, reminding him of that other version of him - the Green Oak. And just like he did for him, Red looks away, down to the ground and then over to Pikachu.

This is really really weird. And he sorta wishes it wasn't happening, for as nice of a feeling he was having there (somehow, regardless of all the annoyances that truly is Blue Oak). Was is he supposed to do with such an older Blue?

He rocks on his feet for a moment, from heel to front, 'till he glances back up, his voice a touch lighter- ]

...Have you seen my mom? Back home. ...is she okay?

[ There's not much he wants to know about the future, but her, his mother - that's safe. That's okay. ]

[toplevel]

Of course she's okay.

[He at least checks in on her, unlike SOME PEOPLE. So once that question is asked, Blue sounds pretty annoyed. He leans forwards, getting right in Red's face before giving him a flick on the forehead.]

But someone needs to come by and see her more. Do you know how lonely she gets without you around? Instead of sitting on Mt. Silver, whenever the heck you get to that, you better actually come down and see her more often.

I swear, you're so hard to manage sometimes.

[pokeboy]

Wha-?

[ He touches his forehead, all happy feelings totally gone and puffed cheeks replacing them. In repayment Red shoves Blue back! Stop getting in his faaaace. ]

What are you talking about? I don't have any idea what you're on about at all. [ seriously man ] A Silver what?

[toplevel]

Of course you wouldn't know yet.

Listen, okay? You decide that, for some reason, you need to get stronger. And with your little pea brain you decide the best way to do that is to climb a mountain. Mt. Silver. It's between Johto and Kanto.

Which I guess would be fine if you, y'know, actually came down regularly.

[pokeboy]

[ ...............




...

??? ]

Isn't Mt. Silver the big snow mountain? What's up there?

[toplevel]

How should I know? You're the one that decided one day to up and climb it. Not me.

You were going on and on about becoming stronger.

[pokeboy]

[ oh..... that sounds good...

...but... ]

...Well, whatever, I can't do anything about that. But you shouldn't be telling me this stuff! You're spoiling it! I don't wanna know if I climb a mountain in the future or not... that's just weird to think about!

[toplevel]

You asked about your mom, so I told you about your mom. And why you aren't around.

[Another flick.]

Which you need to be, considering how worried she gets about you.
