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.]

Sometimes they do, though I've also heard of people having been here for more than a year. I suppose some just don't want to leave it up to chance.
[Text]
Maybe. But it still seems silly if you can just be sent home without having all the badges.
[Text]
Ah, but that's the point - some are sent home, while others are not. Just because one can doesn't mean that one will.
[Text]
And just because you want to, or don't want to, doesn't matter either. So why try?
[Text]
That's a bit cynical, don't you think?
[...Kimblee just called someone cynical.

Next shall come the rain of fire, and the end of days.]
[Text]
What's that mean?

[Text]
Has anyone said it's worked?
[Text]
[Text]
Then maybe Tot is right and it's not worth it. But you can try.
[Text]
As of now, it's unknowable whether it is or not. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me either way, nor am I taking up this challenge on my own. So arguing about it is pretty much a moot point.
