You've reached Jimmy Two-Shoes! I'm not around right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

[awesmazings]

Yeah! I actually missed a couple though a few towns back, so once we leave Blackthorn and get back to Goldenrod I'm prolly gonna try to get those other ones. Then after that I can get the badges in the Kanto region!

[deaftly]

Sounds like it's gonna keep you busy for awhile.

[...]

Hey, so what are the badges for? I mean I get that you can use HMs like Fly and Surf and shit but is that the only thing they're good for?

[awesmazings]

Hm, well...they're good for other things, too! I've heard that if you have badges, Pokemon that are higher leveled or that you got in trades are more likely to listen to you when you battle with them.

[deaftly]

Oh yeah, that'd be pretty useful. I haven't had any trouble with mine not listening to me though. Huh.

[awesmazings]

That's good! I had a little trouble with one of my Pokemon early on, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. I think otherwise, people like to get badges so they can say they got them, yaknow? Kinda like a competition.

[deaftly]

That makes sense. If you've got more badges then you've got bragging rights. Seems like a pretty trivial thing to brag about though.

[Right, because Naki brags about important things like his height. Yep.]

[awesmazings]

Hm...to us, maybe! But the people who live here are really used to having Pokemon around and there being trainers and stuff...so I figure that's prolly why it's so popular.

And I think it's fun!

[deaftly]

That's the important thing! As long as you're having fun with it!

[He can't imagine ever having fun travelling for weeks, getting a badge, then travelling some more. Yikes.]

[awesmazings]

[Naki how do you know it's not fun if you haven't tried!]

Yeah, for sure! Now that it's gonna be summer soon, it'll be a lot easier to go back to the towns I missed, too. It was kinda snowing too much to get anywhere fast, before.

[deaftly]

[IT INVOLVES GRASS AND HE WEARS A WHITE SUIT IT WON'T BE FUN]

Yeah. You'd think winter wouldn't be so bad here since there's no transportation. Or maybe it's the other way around? If the winters are bad there'd be more transportation. Something like that.

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy's probably perpetually covered in grass stains so he doesn't actually feel your pain, unfortunately.]

It's almost worse cause you gotta ride your Pokemon, and they can't stand the cold forever or anything like a bus or something could.

...yaknow sometimes I think about buying a bicycle, but it's a lot more fun just traveling with my Pokemon.

[Who knows, maybe he'll get one when he makes it back to Goldenrod just for the heck of it.]

[deaftly]

I wonder why there's only that one train. It's pretty fucking weird.

[Naki shrugs it off though. It doesn't really matter.]

I didn't know there were bicycles. I guess that might make travelling easier, or at least faster.

[awesmazings]

Mhm, there are! But I guess some people prolly just prefer to stick to being on the ground instead of flying everywhere.

[deaftly]

I guess... I dunno, I think flying everywhere would be pretty fucking cool.

[awesmazings]

It is!

...well, unless you're afraid of heights.

[deaftly]

Oh, yeah I guess that might be a good reason to avoid it...

[awesmazings]

Yeah. If you ever get a chance to do it though, do it. It's incredible!
