Wow, really? Boy, you are missing out on a lot...

[That gets a laugh out of him.]

Man, I kinda wish it was still around that time for me. Bein' a kid... man, those were the days. I didn't have to do anything.

[pokeboy]

Are you forgetting stuff already, gramps? We were helping out your grandpa with his work! We were doing stuff all the time.

[ or Red was tyvm. ]

[toplevel]

Man, don't even talk like that was work. At least that was a little fun trouncing you all the time.

Come back to me after you've entered the adult world. That's when the work really starts. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I'm doin' now.

[pokeboy]

I can believe you're doing nothing worth acting like a grown up over.

Come back when you're actually an adult and not a kid, kid.

[toplevel]

Yeah? You try runnin' a gym then! And visiting the other regions. I've got plenty to be an adult about, squirt.

[pokeboy]

Hah! You're running a gym? [ Red puts his fists onto his sides, grinning slyly. ]

So what about that Champ title you bragged about getting, huh? Couldn't you beat Lance in the end? Sounds like you went for second best!

[toplevel]

[He's not even gonna tell him.]

You wanna hear more spoilers or not? I could tell you all about the Elite Four.

[pokeboy]

Okay okay, I get it, but you've got to zip it too! [ Blue started it, mooom. ]

Anyway, how are you visiting other regions if you're running a gym too? Is that gym work or something?

[toplevel]

It's a huge pain in the ass. I usually have to call in a stand-in while I'm gone. Not that there's many trainers lately that can make it to me anyway. Just a kid from Johto.

But nah. S'work for gramps, usually.

[pokeboy]

How's his cataloguing coming along? I've talked to some other people with pokédexes here, and they're saying there's over 500 pokémon known now! Can you believe it?

[toplevel]

Over 500? [Hah, that's funny.]

Try over 700. Kalos has some pretty interesting pokémon.

[pokeboy]

[ 700? woooahhhh. ]

Kalos? What's special about their pokémon?

[toplevel]

They have a floating sword, for one. How cool is that?

[pokeboy]

...


.... huuuuuhh? What are you talking about? How do they have a floating sword? [ are you mad bro?? ]

[toplevel]

A floating sword pokemon, numbnuts. Like it flies around and stuff. It's a ghost and steel type, it's pretty cool.

They've also got uh... oh, probably one that you'll like. It's another electric rodent like yours, except smaller.

[pokeboy]

Hold on, go back to that first one! Like it's really a sword or just looks like a sword? [ sod the electric whatever thing right now ] What are you trying to say?

[toplevel]

It's... kinda complicated. The Pokedex says that it's what happens when a spirit inhabits a sword, so I guess it'd technically be a sword, yeah.

[pokeboy]

[ ...................... ]

What kind of stupid joke is this? This is dumb even for you, Blue.

And what the heck's even a steel-type supposed to be??

[toplevel]

Why would I make it up?

[... Dumb question.]

I can show ya the dex entry even. And as far as steel types go, it's a type that starts to pop up more, uh... three years from where you're at, I'm guessing? There's a lot of new types.

[pokeboy]

[ ... IT SOUNDS SO STUPID. All of it!! Red's been making a face this whole time, but if Blue's going to bring up having a dex entry on this... ]

Well I'm not going to believe you unless you can prove it! It sounds way too dumb!

[toplevel]

Man, you're still a brat.

[FINE. He'll put out his dex, tossing it his way.]

Read it and weep. There's a lot of other entries in there if you wanna check 'em out too. I caught a bunch of 'em.

[pokeboy]

[ Just for calling him a brat, Red tilts his head this way and that and yadda yaddas wordlessly (to change Blue's mind, of course). But he drops the antics with the pokédex now in his hands and ohhhh, look at this upgraded beauty...

just like... everyone else at Luceti... ]

When do we get these new pokédexes? [ And what he actually means is when do I get this. and nope he hasn't even started the thing up yet, he's just feeling so WRONGED right now by the timeline as he inspects the device. ]

[toplevel]

This one? S'pretty down the line for you. This is the latest and greatest. I got it a little early cause of gramps, even.

[It's pretty awesome.]

And it doesn't bend in your pocket. There's been a problem with electronics lately doing that.

[pokeboy]

[ Bend? How the heck do electronics bend unless they're wires.

...so what if he stood here sliightly applying pressures to the sides of the pokédex. ]

[toplevel]

That doesn't mean that you should try to bend it, you know!
