[Ah...] That sounds right to me! [If a Pokemon actually answered. Well. She would be surprised.]

Not a lot. I was just wondering how you were doing. I think it's been a while since the last time we talked to each other.

[and even longer since they did so in person.]

[wing_attack]

[He has a few that could, but most of them know better. Rachel.]

I'm doing okay. The weather's getting warm, so people are coming out for the circus again, so I've been training a lot. It's weird to think of how long I've been doing this...

What have you been up to? Are you doing okay?

[charcoalfeather]

[To be honest... Bright would do it. She just can't talk in the normal sense.]

Good. I'm fine. [As for what she's doing... Okay. Take a breath.]

I'm going to take on that gym in Violet City.

[wing_attack]

Oh! That's good. Falkner's not that hard, really...

[charcoalfeather]

Yeah.... but I heard what happened with another trainer...

[It doesn't sound fun.]

[wing_attack]

Huh? What do you mean?

[charcoalfeather]

Well, they lost.

[And she won't give names, but the whole thing looked like it sucked from her end of it.]

I've never seen anyone get all their pokemon knocked out before.

[wing_attack]

Oh. That guy. I don't think he really understood that fainting sometimes is okay and understandable...

[Yeah.]

It's not so hard if you go in being prepared. Bring along some electricity and he's not really all that scary.

[charcoalfeather]

Electricity, o-okay.

[...uh.]

So, you just... pass out when you lose?

[wing_attack]

No. Your Pokemon do, though.

[charcoalfeather]

O-oh. [He's going to hear a little sigh of relief!]

Still, [gulp] that doesn't sound good, especially if you're out in a field.

[wing_attack]

No, it's not... that's why I usually have at least one high-level Pokemon on my team just in case.
