[ This one has Yukio settled under a tree today. His attention is focused on a brand new badge which he holds up to the sunlight -- his second so far. It took a while to get but here it was and it seemed to be worth it. In the background, his houndoom's taking a nap in the sun with his Happiny curled up next to him. ]

Everyone's more or less started going after badges at least once during their stay here, right? I'm just a little curious as to why. Personal reasons? Motivation?

[ He'll just take a while to polish off that badge before settling back down against the tree trunk. Pardon him. Someone's feeling a bit philosophical today. ]

Also, I'd like to know if there's any place to get somewhere to put these badges. If anyone's making them, I'd like to go about ordering one.

[ Argh, these little blips he makes on the network. So hard to end them so... have a hasty little awkward smile. ]

Right, uh... thanks for your time.

For Kanto, it was merely a matter of making the Magnet train and the ferry available, but I have a feeling reaching other regions is not so easy. They'd have to be beyond the ocean, or over a mountain chain...

Maybe they'll allow us on the SSAnne even if we haven't beaten all the Gym Leaders yet.

[ And he's still considering the possibilities. ]

Either that or if it's over the mountain... The only guess I can make is if there's some sort of mountain path that we uncover.

The SS Anne only travels between Vermillion and Olivine, sadly. I have the ticket to prove it.

[Not that a cruise doesn't sound nice, but it doesn't help them in this particular situation.]

A cave, perhaps. Caves are wonderful for travel, as long as you don't mind the bats.

It's a thought. Maybe they'd include the new region on the route.

[ Well, it was an idea. But there's a sigh. ]

If they make it a cave, I'll be sure to bring as many repels as I can.

A full team of Pokémon that have reached level 100 is just as efficient, though it takes more time, effort and money to acquire.

[in_praetego]

That's true. It might take a while for my team to reach 100 but they'll probably be ready by the time the new region comes along.

[paladinlost]

Unless the path to reach it is discovered tomorrow. ...Which I'd not complain about, I must say.

[in_praetego]

That'll be one more thing to do, at least... as if we weren't busy enough already.

[ A short laugh. ]

If anything, I'll be keeping an eye on the network... just in case.

That's always a good idea. It can be even faster than the EV News at sharing important information.

[video]

[in_praetego]

That's true. Some people hear things before the EV News gets to it too.
If I hear anything, I'll be sure to let you know.

Thank you. I'll also share any information I might learn.
