[Oh Brendan, you so silly. For a second there it sounded like you were implying RUUUUUUUUUUUDE.]

Whatever you want to do, really! I usually just explore the forest. But there's a Battle Dome here if you want to train your Pokémon, and you can always do that with the other trainers too.

As for those back at home, um... It's kind of confusing... [Red explained it to her and even he sounded completely confused on the matter.] But basically it's like time stopped there. So when you go back, it's as if you never left.
