[Five minutes after that's accidentally posted to the network, a proper text follows.]

oh shit ignore that last post, that wasn't supposed to go public
...actually, tell me about the things you want to do here
i need more shit on my to do list
are there any awesome places to see or anything like that?

[ ACTION - VIOLET CITY ]

[It's not surprising that Mondo's out training on the outskirts of the city. What is surprising is that he isn't fighting his Pokémon today. He's ditched the usual coat today and if one looks closely, they can see a massive bruise over his shoulders and leading down toward his back. That might be from fighting his Pokémon. Maybe. But that's not what he's doing today - today he's got his Pokémon out, situated in teams of two facing off against each other.]

Alright, we're gonna practice double battling today. Ryder! Quit trying to punch Pierce, he's your partner!

[The Scrafty shoots him a dirty look, but she knocks it off. At least until Mondo's back is turned, then she socks the Lucario in the gut and knocks him over.]

Lex, Tory! If I see the two of you biting at each other again I swear I'm gonna stick you in the fucking PC and never let you see the light of day again! You got that?

[The Sharpedo and Deino pull faces once his back is turned, but at least they seem to be listening.]

Alright, on my mark... go!

[...This can only end well.]

there are some pretty awesome sights here, yeah!
from the sounds of it, you might like cycling road over here in kanto.
i think they allow motorcycles in addition to regular bikes, if some of the native trainers there were any indication.

[So. Many. Bikers.]

but in addition to that, if you haven't seen them already there are the ruins of alph and sprout tower in violet city. (the only good things in violet city, tbh)
and then the two towers in ecruteak are pretty cool too, especially if you are into ghosts and legends.
what else... oh! the safari zone is pretty cool! that's over in cianwood.
and the dragon's den in blackthron if you are into dragons.
really, it just depends on your interests! there are a lot of awesome things here!

(also i think there might be a sauna in blackthron? there's a hot springs, at least. those are sort of close enough to the same thing, right?)

[WELL HEY NEW FRIEND Jin's also wearing his fair share of bruises, but he seems to have gotten the bloodstains removed and the rips repaired from his usual outfit (which is good because the alternative is a banana hammock and no one wants to see that), and he's gonna just be perched on a low-hanging branch over head, grinning like Peter Pan. Did he sneak up on you? Because he and his shinobro have been camped out on the outskirts of town the whole time they've been here.]

Oowada it was? So yer team's a crew o' real go-getters, I see!

[He laughs.]

ASK ASAHINA OUT

[Hi, Mondo. c: ]

[S C R E A M

DON'T YOU KNOW THE PRECIOUS DANGAN PRINCESS IS WAY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE, PARKER]

NO OH MY GOD
SHE WOULD TURN ME DOWN SO FAST YOU HAVE NO IDEA
ALSO I REALLY SUCK AT ASKING GIRLS OUT
LIKE
REALLY SUCK
AS IN I YELL AT THEM CAUSE I YELL WHEN I GET NERVOUS

[Oh wow, that's a lot of good information! Mondo takes a moment to write it all down (on paper this time so he won't accidentally spam the network again) and then he responds.]

holy shit it sounds like there's a lot more to do here than i first thought!
i'm in violet right now; is sprout tower really interesting?
it just looked like a place where they worshiped bellsprouts or something so i didn't check it out.
and holy shit blackthorn sounds awesome! totally heading there asap.

That's one way of putting it...

[Considering how his Pokémon are still staring at him and awaiting orders, Mondo's not overly pleased with them.]

Good to see you again! You feeling better?

OH STOP WHINING YOU BIG BABY

HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE'D TURN YOU DOWN
AREN'T YOU LIKE SUPER HIGH SCHOOL COOL OR WHATEVER

SUCK IT UP

[Someone else is having difficulty training his Pokemon too.

Rude's getting a bit irritated at his Rocket starters. He can't release them anywhere near normal trainers without one of them acting out. It's starting to seriously hamper him everytime he takes them for training, which is why he's decided to try his luck outside the city.

It's only a matter of time before he hears the noise of a double battle. Having finished off a couple of wild Pokemon, he's going to give his guys a rest and check out the source of the commotion.

...huh. It's Oowada. Rude raises an eyebrow at that bruise, but opts to stay quiet and watch the match first.

Aye, aye, good as new I am! [he grins.]

Need a trainin' partner?

[The branches around him fill slowly with the excited faces of six different birds. Including a Chatot who nests herself in his shock of bright red hair.]

gang leader
super high school level gang leader

but no seriously, why would a girl like her ever date a guy like me
besides, there's no way i could ask her without getting nervous and yelling and girls don't like that!!!!

i don't want to make her feel awkward or anything!!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN A GIRL LIKE HER
SHE'S A SWIMMER
SHE SWIMS

DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM

[The match goes about as well as expected.

Ryder, Mondo's starter, turns on her partner halfway through the fight and easily finishes off the Lucario with a well-placed Hi Jump Kick. She then proceeds to beat the other two into submission on her own. Mondo groans and rests his head in his hands.]

You're not supposed to take 'em all out! Just the other two! You're hopeless!

[Ryder shrugs and turns her attention to Mondo's Houndoom and Murkrow, who were supposed to fight the victors. Maybe if Mondo's Pokémon weren't all weak to Fighting-type moves they'd stand a chance of beating their crazy, battle-obsessed partner, but Ryder takes both of them out in one hit apiece as well. Mondo just groans loudly.]

Fucking hopeless, I swear to god...

[Ryder turns then, a maniacal glint in her eye. Mondo recognizes that look and hits the deck before she can hit him with the same move. She sails overhead and promptly hits a tree. Mondo returns her before she can get up.]

Fuck...

[He winces a bit and rubs at his back, but at least she didn't land any more hits.]

of course i know how to swim who doesn't

no but i mean she's really pretty and nice and shit

she should be going out with someone like i dunno naegi not me

[Mondo grins at that, a bit surprised by the birds but mostly impressed. And here he thought he was a one-type wonder!]

Yeah, I'd like that! Sparring against the local wildlife's pretty boring.

[Not to mention it gives no experience points.]

WHO SAYS YOU GET TO SAY WHO SHE SHOULD GO OUT WITH
DON'T TELL HER WHAT TO DO
JUST ASK HER OUT IF YOU LIKE HER JEEZ

UNLESS YOU'RE CHICKEN

i'm not telling her to go out with him!!

and i'm NOT chicken what the fuck alice
i'm not asking her out and that's final!!

WHO ARE YOU ASKING OUT THEN

i dunno
it's not something i'm doing in the immediate future!
i just don't want to have to deal with strike number 11
like i said i'm really bad with girls

MAYBE YOU SHOULD PRACTICE oh hey I should turn that off now.

Maybe you should practice.

That's what I used to do sometimes when I wasn't good at people stuff.

[Hang on, that might actually be a really damn good idea...]

i hadn't thought of that actually
but yeah maybe if i practice a bit i might get better at it
or at least figure out a way not to yell as much...

It's pretty dumb but I guess it kinda works?

You can practice on me if you want I guess.
Or I can go sit on Ishimaru again until he lets you practice on him.

:)

i don't think it'll work as well on ishimaru
he's a guy and he's my brother
so that would be weird
(please don't sit on him again)

thanks for the offer though! i could really use some help with this

While I can't say I approve of everything on that list, kyoudai, if anyone happens to know where a sauna is, I expect you to tell me about it!

[BECAUSE CLEARLY, THAT IS THE IMPORTANT THING.]

[He just knew you'd zero in on the most important part!!]

i heard there are hot springs up in blackthorn city! it's not exactly the same, but i'll take it!!

OK cool.

[Okay, Parker. Think. What would Sophie say here. The first step to the grift is...

...don't stab anybody.

OKAY WELL THAT'S A GOOD START BUT UH okay just. What's step two.]

What kind of girl do you want to date?
