Feather 4 [Video/Action for Violet City]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ The feed turns on to find Joshua outside the Violet City Gym, holding a Zephyr badge with an Eevee perched on his shoulder, a newly-evolved Gardevoir dancing and singing softly behind him. ]

So, these badges. Is there actually a point to them besides collecting them? I'm sure they make lovely conversation pieces, but I'm looking for a bit more than that.

And an unrelated question. Are comas a common occurrence around here? Humor my curiosity.

[ The woman at the Pokemon Center had seemed remarkably unperturbed that he'd been asleep for over a month. ]

[A shrug]

I haven't won any badges myself. [She can barely manage to get her pokemon to do anything but hurt themselves.] The specifics of the discounts weren't elaborated.

[usedfeatherdance]

Seems like the sort of thing I'll have to look into, then. Are you new to this world?

[Video]

[thetruehistorian]

[Her response, though posed as a question, is more a statement.]

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

If you knew about discounts, I'd think you'd at least ask at the stores. Though I admit I don't know how long it takes most people to acquire a badge and find out through experience.

[thetruehistorian]

I'd imagine each goes at their own pace.

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Likely so. Even so, there's probably an average.

[Video]

[thetruehistorian]

[A shrug at that. It isn't something she knows, or even knows how to go about determining, and so it doesn't rank high on her list of important things to ponder.]

You have an interesting pokemon. What is it?

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Which? The Eevee or the Gardevoir?

[ Which is an answer in itself, really. ]

[Video]

[thetruehistorian]

[Oh, look. He does have a furry thing on his shoulder.]

Both, actually. Where did you come by them?

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ Yes. It likes to hide behind his fabulous hair. ]

This one belonged to a friend who left. [ Did you hear that Neku? He called you a friend. ] As for her, [ he indicates the Gardevoir ] I happened to catch her a while back when a large number showed up all over the place. I haven't seen any in the wild since then.

[Video]

[thetruehistorian]

[Aw. Robin kinda likes the dancing one. But more importantly...]

If that friend who left were to come back, does the animal return to them, or stay loyal to you?

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

I wouldn't know. I haven't experienced it myself. You'd need to ask others, I'm afraid.

[Video]

[thetruehistorian]

[She's quiet a moment, then smirks.]

You've been pleasant to chat with, at any rate.

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

I do try. [ He giggles. ] I'm Joshua. And you are?

[Video]

[thetruehistorian]

Nico Robin. It's nice to meet you.

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

The pleasure is mine. May we see each other around, hmm?

[Video]

[thetruehistorian]

I wouldn't be against it, if our paths happen to cross.

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

I suppose time will tell about that.

[thetruehistorian]

[She nods briefly, then closes the connection.]
