( Pre-Post tl;dr: It's just another day... )
[A text message appears in the early hours of the day:]
What does it mean to be strong?
I thought I had the answers, but I guess I got a little sidetracked along the way.
This place puts a huge focus on training powerful teams. Collecting badges, facing challenges, and I appreciate that. It's given me something to do, and it's hard to imagine life without those goofballs on my team to liven things up. But still, you can build a tough team without being strong on your own.
[There's a short pause before he continues his message. He has to search for the right words, try to piece together what he wants to say in a way that even he can understand...
Maybe he should get to the point.]
How many people here still fight? I've tried to keep up on my swordplay, but there's only so much I can teach myself. I know there are people out there better than me. Stronger than me... People with experience outside of play sword fights on an island day after day.
I guess what I'm really trying to ask is, well... Is there anyone out there who'd be willing to show someone else the ropes? I've done pretty much all I can with Pokémon battles, but I know I've got a long way to go with my own personal strength. And besides, I just... need something new to strive for. Something to break my routine.
[He ends his message there. It came out wordier than he intended... more like a rant than anything else. But with his thoughts out for all the see, he slips out into the city and proceeds to wander aimlessly with his 'Gear in hand.
Maybe he just needs a different outlook. He's got a much bigger world at his disposal now, and he's just barely scratched the surface...
But where does he start?]
