[ Nothing interesting on the video feed here, just a black-haired boy with his pikachu's head poking from the bottom of the screen. ]

Hi, my name's Red. I've got a couple of questions... I wanted to ask about first aid and the battle dome, and also if there's anybody that knows about fixing things? [ He looks away ] I don't have anything broken, but I wanted to have something looked at.

[ Right, anyway. Back to the screen. ]

But with the first aid... I was wondering if anyone had the time to help me see if I know what I'm doing? I got taught how to put on bandages a long time ago, but I don't think I was doing it right the last time I did it.

[ Maybe it had been fine, but a refresher would be good either way. ]

Anyway, then the battle dome - I wanted to know about what fighters train against in there. [ This was going to be hard, but ] I know people here have different abilities, and what we can handle is different too. I've tried creatures not from my world, but I guess...

[ What does he guess? He thinks, pinching his bottom lip in. ]

...I guess I just want to know if there's something better me and my pokémon can do. Everything's still challenging in the battle dome, but I want -- more? [ Um.

That sounds... bad? He fidgets, then shrugs. ] I don't know. I thought it'd be interesting to know what else we could fight on there. That's about it really.

Well... that's it. Bye.

Hey, Caius. [ He pauses, trying to think of how to continue... ] You fight with a sword, right? I want to practice with you sometime, if you've got the time.

You're welcome.

[Ginia reads the message, then reads it again. The implication is pretty obvious and it's a horrifying and troublesome idea.]

I'm sorry I can't help with that, though I hope you can find someone who can. Maybe someone at the smithy would be able to figure something out. Or create some kind of armor or protective case for the pokéballs.

OK. I can meet you in an hour.

Of course. And other worlds too.

[She gives him a cheerful smile.]

I'll be there most of the morning, if you're coming to training. Today we can do something different.

[He distantly remembers some of his scientists blabbering about time theories and the power certain Pokemon could have on them - all talk that Giovanni dismissed back then, but what he heard then helped make a little more sense of this situation. There's his son and that...other boy, and now Red, too...?

Well, he can't pass up a chance to check this out. He's been gone for so long - he must be better than a mere child by now. As aggravating as Red can be, no other Trainer is more exciting to battle against.

All the better to finally crush him, after all these years.

Giovanni's already at the dome, enjoying a pre-battle smoke break directly outside. Apparently people get stingy over smoking indoors around these parts.]

I know first aid. [Although she had been making use of it less and less often now that she had a better grip on Nala's magic.]

Did you hurt yourself? [There was a slight tinge of worry in her voice. Kids were getting hurt even here, weren't they...]

--Wait, wait, you're not just battling wild Pokémon in the Dome, are you?

Huh? What other kind can I battle?

Oh, no, I'm okay. [ He shakes his head. But, oh, right- ] I mean, I did before, and I think I covered them up okay? But I wanted to make sure I was doing them properly. In case I have to do it again.

[ Because sometimes you couldn't get anyone else to do it, and other alternatives weren't the safest. ]

But a friend told me there's first aid classes here, so I'm going to check it out. Thanks though, miss.

[ With Venusaur and Snorlax (and especially Snorlax), it was a big deal. Pikachu was small and easy to transport, but the other two?

He thinks over the idea of an armour. It could be good, though... ]

I'll ask them but I think a person who can look at them would be best first. I heard long ago in the past they used to make pokéballs from tree plants. so it can't be too hard for a smart person who fixes things for fun to figure them out.

Of course! [ It's a serious response, and he nods. He wouldn't miss training. ] Can I come and join you now?

Uhh... trainers?

I don't know what other people do everyday though. It's just easier if we use the simulations.

Dude, I'm talkin' about fighting trainers in the simulations.

What? [ Like dude yeah I get that so why are you being--- ]

[ -- OH ]

Wait, you can make trainers pop up with that thing?

Of course! And you do know that Pokémon gain more experience against trained Pokémon, right?

Edited 2014-07-04 12:16 (UTC)

Of course I do! You don't have to be a smart aleck, I didn't know you could make trainers show up in there!

Geez, calm down, I'm just makin' sure you know all there is to know about training.

In the most know-it-all way.

Don't worry about stuff like that. Anyway, I'll teach you how to do it, then.

Fine. But I can try doing it myself. You don't have to.

Doesn't matter if I don't have to. I want to. I wanna help you out.

Well, alright. [ He gives a light shrug. ] We're going to be around the battle dome all day anyway.

Sweet, I'll drop by later, then!

'kay. See you.

[ He ends up doing other stuff than fiddling around and looking for trainers in the console, so it's only until later than he gets to do so. Really, he doesn't want Gold to show him how to do it, but actually bringing up the list of names...

Instead, he ends up on different monsters and running down the lists. There could be a good bunch they could train against that would be just as challenging and rewarding as a trainer. Maybe. ]
