[So, Luceti! This post starts with a groan as a wayward ＰＫＭＮ ＴＲＡＩＮＥＲ wakes up in the middle of the woods!] Huh...?

[Well, that's odd. He didn't really remember falling asleep at any point, and even if he had... Route 121 shouldn't be this cold, right? Well, whatever. He can just check his map to see where he went off-course! Except, y'know, he immediately realises his Bag's missing. Which means he doesn't have his items. ... Or his Pokémon, for that matter. Oh, and these aren't his clothes, either.]

[Now, a lesser man might panic, but not Brendan! He's definitely not shaking because he's unnerved! It's just the cold, that's all!!]

[After about a minute of essentially flailing for anything he can use, he manages to find his journal and, after a few experimental clicks, gets the gist of how it works (mostly. the guys who dumped him here must've left it here to taunt him, right?)!]

O-kay. I have no idea who I'm talking to  [or if this is even working.], but that's not really important right now! Any one of you wanna tell me what kind of creep robs a guy and leaves him in a forest like this? Because I could use an explanation right now.

[Pause!] ... Knowing why it's snowing in the middle of Summer would be cool too, I guess.

[Johto's too maiiiinstream.]

They're strong, muscley types that are great at endurance! You could send out your best Fighting-types and still have trouble!

[tsuntrader]

You sound really confident in their strengths. [A little overconfident, even.]

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

Of course! My dad's not about to have a weak Pokémon as his trump card! [Nah, Hoenn pokes are just that awesome.]

[tsuntrader]

Have you ever battled him? [He would hope so, but he still doesn't know these things!]

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

Well, duh! [Speaking like this is the most obvious thing in the world (which it is).] A Champion has to battle and beat all the Gym Leaders!

[tsuntrader]

...You're the Champion?

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

Yep! I beat the old Champion, Wallace, fair and square! Heck, I even battled Steven, the guy who was Champ before him!

[tsuntrader]

[...But dude aren't you supposed to be all into contests and shit

And isn't the battle for Championship a giant tournament? ...Well, he could still mean that, or it could be different in Hoenn...]

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

[NOPE contests are for pussies.

Also, bro, say something bro.] ... What, stunned into silence or something?

[tsuntrader]

[Oh. Whoops.] Not really.

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

Ah, typical. So, what, you're just surprised?

[tsuntrader]

Yeah, I guess. [He is not shocked and awed, dude]

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

[But he has a fanclub waiting in Lilycove for him!] How 'bout you, then? Got any of the badges from Johto?

[tsuntrader]

[...Uh. All of them. But he isn't exactly planning on bringing up stolen badges, so-] I've had more important things to do than challenge gym leaders.

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're more of a Breeder or something? [Yes, conceal it! Only bad people can steal after all.]

[tsuntrader]

No. I just don't care about the league.

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

Ah, I get you now. [So he's like those people who just sit around in their houses while he walks in and watches their television. Okay.]

So, how do you pass the time?

[tsuntrader]

...I'm always traveling around and training. [Isn't that how everyone spends their time?]

[hoennian.livejournal.com]

So... the usual, then. [The world is a very varied place for Trainers.]

[tsuntrader]

I guess. [Kind of. Yeah. Let's go with that.]
