006. [Text/Action for Goldenrod City/Northern Route 34]

[TEXT]

While I suppose it matters relatively little in the long run, morbid curiosity compels -

Exactly how driven are most of you to complete this 'challenge' that's been set forth, and what drives you to complete it in the first place - what do you have to return to?


[ACTION]

[A short time after that text hits the network, Kimblee can be found just outside of Goldenrod City, on the northern end of Route 34; if the question is at all related to anything he's currently doing, it's not obvious in the least...outside of the part where maybe the Pokémon he's dealing with might be making him not want to live on this planet anymore.

Basically, his Yanma evolved.

Fortunately for him, the hellbug she has become seems to have retained her personality despite the evolution. She's honestly always been more like a dog than an oversized dragonfly; now she's just...well, a sufficiently larger dog. As such, she's bringing Kimblee a decently-sized stick to toss off into the nearby cluster of trees for her to chase; Kimblee is complying with her, albeit warily - he's never had much of a poker face, and while he seems generally calm, it's reasonably plain that he's half-expecting her to do something odd.

Like snap his arm off to get at the stick. Or maybe bring him back a person, or something.

Either way, he's clearly wondering what the hell his life has become. Good afternoon, Johto, it's been a while.]

I don't think I know all that much about the badges, actually. I know that you can earn badges by defeating the Gym Leaders, but I've never been interested in them. Has anyone actually managed to return home by collecting all of the badges?

Is that so? It certainly sounds like baseless gossip to me. I personally have more important things to do than waste my time collecting some stupid little trinkets that have no real value.

Which question would that be?

Work, mostly, so I can afford to stay in my hotel room and feed myself everyday and whatnot. I also train my Pokémon when I have the time, not for the sake of fighting Gym Leaders, but so I have proper protection against wild Pokémon and unnecessarily violent trainers. Not that I've run into any yet, but I'm sure they're out there.

I do, but since there's no way to leave of your own free will, I figured I'd make the most out of my stay here. Sitting around doing nothing but whining and feeling sorry for myself isn't going to do any good. Besides, quite a few people from home are here as well, so that made it easier to become more comfortable with this place.

Whining is the easier thing to do, but in the long run it changes absolutely nothing. Admittedly, I nearly fell into that trap quite a few times during my stay here, but I managed to get myself out of it.
