[Video feed drifts lazily about New Bark Town. I'm sure you've seen it all before. An amused, disembodied voice begins speaking.]

All right. Obviously, there isn't enough room in this town for an asylum, so I won't bother trying to check into one.

[The camera lingers briefly on Mom's house. The unspoken implication is 'or trying to get others committed.'. The camera comes to focus on Youji's face. His smile is pleasant and friendly.]

I heard the 'Welcome to the world of Pokemon, they're fantastic,' spiel, so elaboration on what's going on is unnecessary. Far too sober to make sense of it anyway. I'd much rather hear about how you're dealing with this.

It sucks. And doesn't stop sucking until you reach Goldenrod.

[coolest-cat.livejournal.com]

Goldenrod, is it? Tell me that's where the exit door is.

Failing that, a cute secretary.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

I wish bro. I wish. No exit door, but civilization.

Also, try the Joys at the pokemon center. Not to mention that the girls around here fall for a decent amount of flattery.

[coolest-cat.livejournal.com]

Joys? What sort of joys can you find at a pokemon center?

[Youji laughs.]

Quite a relief, I don't think anyone wants to see an indecent amount.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Oh, quite a few, if you know where to look. [He's slept with three of them]

That's for sure.

[coolest-cat.livejournal.com]

Now, you'll have to back up. What sort of center are we talking about? I'm afraid you've lost me.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Pokemon Center, bro. There's one in each town and they got a red roof.

[coolest-cat.livejournal.com]

Yes, but what does one do there?

[Besides Joy. 'sagiven.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Well, you can get a job, heal your pokemon, get information. It's sort of an all purpose place. And not that exciting.

[coolest-cat.livejournal.com]

Doesn't sound at all joyful. Useful, but not joyful.

Tell me more about Goldenrod.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

From what I've seen, it's the best city so far. It's an actual city, with roads and skyscrapers, decent bars to. And a casino, which is pretty awesome.

It's the closest I can get to home.

[coolest-cat.livejournal.com]

[Youji laughs.]

Barring the casino, I think I'll end up agreeing with you. I'm from Tokyo, I'm not even sure I can breathe this air. No car exhaust.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this place is way too natural. I don't do the camping thing.

[coolest-cat.livejournal.com]

Agreed; if the planet was meant to remain as-is, we wouldn't have cement mixers.
