Hi. Does anyone know how people make perfumes? Or the sticks that you burn and they give off smells.

And... I want to know about plants and medicines too! So if anyone knows just send me a message, okay? I don't want to know everything, just one or two things. Thanks.

[ AND THEN LATER ON IN THE DAY- ]

Hi, can I meet with someone who can make a ball of water without it touching anything? I want to try an attack on it, so - if you don't care about water exploding and you have a free hour sometime, let me know! Thanks!

[ Action ]

[ For the day (or even a few days before or after), Red can be found in a few number of places. First are trips into the bakery, grocery shop, convenience store -- heck, he'll visit all of the coffee/tea/restaurants/places that look like they serve food in them (oh, maybe he'll get a glimpse of that beautiful lady today...!). He shall also be carrying Very Big Bags that food is going in. After that - or somewhere in all of that, whenever the place opens - is a visit to the flower shop, the boy look at the flowers with his pikachu on his shoulder but really, he's waiting to see someone who runs it!

After that and grabbing a quick bite to eat is a visit to the Willow Tree, and then a visit to the Farmlands to see if there's anything to be done and to check in on Luke Skywalker's bantha Hamal. Doesn't matter if you're back to seeing him Luke, Red and him are bros. Red's pokémon Venusaur is out as always around this time (and everyone else, though those guys are eating), at a section of the ground with her multiple vines on the ground. Her flower is glowing softly, and the ground around her is actually poking out with small dots of green... is that grass? And do the plants in front of her look more grown?

Later on comes his training with a few people, as well as going to the Battle Dome when a room's available. Except there the trainer isn't always going to be inside, instead watching over them from the viewable pane on the second floor. (Hey is that Vegeta?? THAT GUY...) But there will be times when he's in there as well. Hey man who knows.

Considering the type of training they've been undertaking though, Red's not going to be at the battle dome the whole day -- his pokémon will need the rest. They'll take a walk into the forest, whether joined at whatever moment by Snorlax and Venusaur (Pikachu is an always, though the little mouse may be up in the trees at the time), sometimes stopping so that they can just chill. Red might be taking advantage of that whole just relaxing thang, but he may be testing out some tricks with the spells he's learnt. One of those will be creating a ball of light and then chucking it, bouncing it to go far - and then making it go in a flash of light at his command. What a nice waste of time.

And let's just throw in some other options too! Maybe they're on this day or a day before. Screw the rules of time. Training is an important thing for the trainer, and Red likes to make use of the open land once people get out of the forest towards the mountains. Nice and spacious, though sometimes he makes use of the teleporter to the hot springs to test the mountain ground as well.

Because they want to make some earthquakes, though trying to be mindful of other people around. With their training these days focusing more and more on how one uses their energy to cause bigger damage, getting it to do more than just shake the ground is worth testing out, and there's a different between the dirty earth and the rocky stone of the mountains...

(Gonna try hopping off if they hear anything suspicious approaching though! Yeah buddy we're talking about you. You know who you are.)

And then some days there's a visit to the beach. Big bird Lugia, are you going to be helping with that sometimes? Or at least a ride back to the village? Thanks bro. Because they've been having test matches against each other, Red's three pokémon against such an astounding legendary of the sea. And when they're not fighting? It's chilling on the beach together, Red with his journal out to read to the oversized seagull.

Or a Snorlax might be punching the water. Or kicking it. The sand too. Who even likes sand. ]

...... No?

[ ???? ]

Why does doing one or two good things make none of the weird stuff he does matter? There's got to be something wrong about it if he's getting pulled away or jabbed every time he does it. [ Especially in this case. ]

But you just stood there and watched him do it?

Because it's not just one or two things. Those are just examples. And he helped a lotta those girls that he spoke to too. Sure, it's something that he gets in trouble for all the time but what matters more is what he does more often than that and that's helping people and Pokemon alike.

My friends or his Croagunk usually did something before I really knew what was happenin'.

But it shouldn't matter if you're doing a hundred good things everyday or not, you're still doing something you shouldn't be. Doing something good doesn't make the bad stuff right or - something you should ignore.

I get he's your friend, but... it still doesn't sound right.

I'm not sayin' it's right but we shouldn't focus on what's wrong with someone. It's better to try and focus on the good things 'bout a person. Otherwise we won't ever get ta know 'em cause we judge 'em too soon.

And I'm not saying we should ignore their flaws either. But in Brock's case my friends did a better job helping him with his flaw than I could.

...But that's stupid! Your other friend probably did a better job because they didn't just ignore it!

Even if I didn't ignore it what could I have done?

Called him out on it? Talked to him about it? Or actually try understanding what your best friend was doing in the first place?

And what if I never really thought that it was something I should call him out on. I mean, if it was really something to talk to him 'bout then wouldn't Misty have done it? She's th' one what was always pullin' his ear. Or Max or May.

Well of course you didn't think it was worth bringing up to him, you don't even get what's wrong with people being pervs. Do you even know if they did talk to him or not?

No, I don't. But are you sure it's even as bad as you think it is?

What?

[ what ]

I dunno. I mean... you haven't met the Brock I know and since I don't understand maybe we're not even thinkin' the same way 'bout it.

[ Logic. Ash has it. ~~not~~. ]

No... but have you heard what you've been saying? You think a guy can do bad stuff as long as he's doing good stuff. How does that make sense?

Even if we don't talk about Brock, that's still a thing you just said.

I didn't mean it like that. That's like saying Team Rocket can steal Pokemon as long as they take care of their own, or something. But it's not right just to judge someone based on one thing alone.

Why not? It's not like we don't know he does good things too, but you can't ignore the bad stuff a person does just because they're good and helpful usually. Isn't that what they call turning a blind eye?

And that's a really bad example, I think, bringing up Team Rocket. That doesn't match up at all.

But if you're judging 'em based on that one thing are ya turning a blind eye to the good things too? You can't ignore the bad stuff but you can't ignore the good stuff either. It's everything that determines a person, isn't it?

Well then it's like saying how my rival Paul used to treat his Pokemon was okay because he was a strong trainer.

But you're still ignoring the bad stuff too! You're watching some guy get his ear pulled and told off for this stuff but you don't even do anything about it! You don't even know what's happening!

And how's that the same either? You can't just use out any example that comes in your head. You don't even know what's wrong with guys that I was talking about in the first place.

Just 'cause I ignore that doesn't mean I don't ignore the bad stuff. And what's more important: doing something someone is already doing or talkin' and helping the person who were meeting?

Then maybe we shouldn't talk 'bout this at all 'cause I don't understand what you're sayin' at all. I try to talk 'bout this but everything I'm saying just sounds wrong to you.

I'm trying to talk about this to you too, but you think I'm sitting here judging your friend just because I'm calling out his weird behaviour. I'm not denying you're saying he does good things.

But you really don't know what a pervert is? You don't know what I'm saying at all?

A-ah... sorry.

No, I really don't.

[ . . . . ]

That's weird! Even I know what a pervert is! Haven't you ever heard about the kind of guys that pester girls and harass them? That's what they are! They say weird stuff and call out at them and bother them!

Celadon's meant to be full of them! All the older girls told me about them and how they're the worst! You should ask a girl, they'll tell you better! They're the grossest guys ever they told me and you shouldn't grow up to be like them!

And you shouldn't because girls can be really really scary, okay! They're really pretty but they're really scary too!

Hmmm... But when you harass someone they usually get angry or scared. And when someone bothers you then you don't want help from 'em.

[ ....... Of course if you're Ash and just talking to them bothers them ~~PAUL~~ well... ]

Maybe I will ask sometime? It'll help if Misty or May was here-- [ Okay shaking that thought loose n o p e ]

But y'know, girls can be scary. Especially girls that hold grudges over food. [ MAY ]

Just ask someone. It made way more sense when I was talking to the trainers in Celadon.

[ Kind of... it probably helped more to see that old man outside the gym being creepy. ]

What did you do?

I'll keep it in mind.

[ 'cept no he probably won't ]

I didn't do anything! I have a friend named May and one of th' only things that get her reaally mad is if you steal her food from her!

...Then don't steal her food?
