Oh, cool, I think I got it, there we go...

[ the camera spins around, initially pointing off at a random wall of the Cherrygrove Pokemon Center, but soon shows Tavros, looking a bit worse for wear, but seated in a proper wheelchair. it looks quite comfy. you know, as comfy as wheelchairs get, anyway. ]

So, I finally got to, uhh, this new place, with the help of my new friend, which I decided to call Rufio, by the way, since it seemed like a good name for a hoofbeast that, uhh, is pretty brave, as it turns out.

[ he smiles a little, pointing the camera at the aforementioned Tauros, standing outside and looking in through the window. he snorts agitatedly when he realizes he's being watched, just barely audible on the Pokegear. ]

Also, I got a new four wheel device, which is good, because I don't think Rufio liked carrying me around, and it was also kind of dangerous, and I kept falling off, so, it took a long time to get places. There was a lot of, I guess, tribulation, but ultimately, it turned out okay, and I captured a feather creature, in one of those multi-colored capsules that I had in my bag, so that was pretty cool, too. [ turns the camera his way again, looking just a little sheepish. ]

But, to get back to the thing that I wanted to say, before I started, uhh, saying other things, is that I was going to ask, what's a good place to stay for longer than just a little bit? Like, maybe, a new hive that I could live in, or borrow, I guess. I don't really know how that's, uhh, supposed to work. Anyway, I kind of like this one place that I mentioned being at now, but I don't want to, really, impose on the hospitality here...

[ trails off for a moment and then rounds off that half-finished thought with an awkward shrug. ]

That's all, uhh, I guess, for now.

Challenge? I didn't know there was a challenge to be done, actually, or maybe I just missed the information, uhh, about it.

Traveling the country, bonding with your friends, and defeating the eight Gym Leaders to earn the right to face the final bosses, of course. That challenge!

Oh, that one, right. Well, I can still do that, even though I have a place to go back to for, uhh, proper sleeping and things like that, right? That's what I was thinking might be possible, anyway.

Might be hard to try to use only one place to stay when you're crawling all over the country. I've been camping out and staying at inns.

Is that a better way to do the challenging thing, that you mentioned? I'm used to, uhh, having it all sort of happen in one place.

It'd be pretty hard to go out and do what you need to do and get back to your place all in one day. For now, anyway.

At least, that's what I'm thinking. In the end, it's up to you to decide what you want to do and how you'll do it.

I guess that's a good point, that you made just now... maybe if I were, uhh, better at getting to places faster, but that's definitely not the case, heh.

...Oh, right. Sorry, I didn't even think. How well can you get around in, uh, your chair?

I don't know if I can, uhh, put a measuring to the amount of getting around that I can do, but it's enough that eventually I get where I'm going, if that, uhh, makes it any clearer...

[ it totally does. ]

[ ...Timid, nervous, babbles, and for some reason he inexplicably makes me think of cows.

Yeah, he reminds me of my little brother. ]

That's what matters, right? So long as you can get wherever you want to go, then you should be all set.

[ welp. c8 clearly you should adopt him. ]

Yes, that's a good way to put it, too, I think.

What's your name, kid?

Heh, it's not kid, but, that's an okay guess, sort of. It's Tavros, actually, my name.

I didn't mean it like--Tavros?

[ Little brother is named Taro.

TAvROs. ]

Wow, that was weird. Anyway, the name's Adell.

[ ... that is creepy. also, his head tilts ever so slightly at "weird," because of all the things that are definitely weird about him, he was never aware that his name is one of those things. ]

Okay, Adell, hi, nice to meet you. Uhh, what is the thing that was weird, like you said, just now?

You remind me a lot of my little brother. He's about your age and everything.

Really? I've never been, in a way, compared to someone's relative, before.

I can't imagine how many kids are similar to you two, but that's besides the point.

If you ever need anything or help or a travel partner, give me a shout. I don't mind helping.

Wow, heh, okay, thanks. That's pretty generous of you, those things that you said you would do, uhh, if I needed them. It's a lot of things that I don't, I guess, have offered to ask for very much, so...

[ aw, look, you flattered him a little. ]

Hey, it's nothing. Just be sure that, whatever you end up deciding to do here, you give it your all.

That's pretty good advice, uhh, and advice that I'll try to follow, definitely.

No! Not good enough. A real man doesn't 'try', he 'does'. Attitude is just as important as skill!

Now, repeat after me: "I WILL give it my all!"

Oh. Uhh... well, okay, I guess you're right about that... I will give it my all, then.

[ look how convincing he is!! ]
