[The Sevii Islands certainly offer intriguing opportunities to explore, and as a natural born islander, Riku's enjoyed the change of scenery. The new and exotic Pokémon are a nice touch as well. Plenty of opportunities to research, to expand his team and breeding repertoire, among other things.
Though for now he's settled by the shoreline, joined by his trusty Charizard, Flare. The camera hovers behind at first- seems one of his 'mons has opted to film the Riku in his natural habitat as he muses to himself.]
Twenty-two... Ha. Time sure flies.
[There's some snickering, which prompts him to glance over his shoulder, and-]
...Is this the part where you make some joke about me being senile? Gimme a break, Phantom.
[And he snatches the 'Gear, rolling his eyes.]
So, seeing how someone decided to get the camera rolling, I guess this is the part where I wax philosophic about how it's been almost seven years, and things are... more or less the same.
[Heh.]
Except plenty's changed, but it's still funny to think about. It took us this long to be able to get even close to challenging the Elite Four. These islands? They're about the closest thing to another region we can reach outside of that one time we got to go to Kalos for the prom. Or the moon. Guess that was pretty cool.
[He looks at the sky, pausing for a few seconds.]
But I've groaned and complained about wanting to see the rest of the world for years at this point. Blame my wanderlust, I guess. It was the same thing back home- always wanting more. Never content to live in the moment.

You can grow older, but some things never change.

Anyway. To all you newcomers, welcome. I'm Riku, probably one of the oldest, crustiest trainers in terms of longevity. If you've got questions, I'll see what I can do. I also run a Training and Breeding Center down in Celadon City. Want a free egg? I can probably set you up. Heck, right now, we're trying to expand our stock, so those of you who've been catching the new Pokémon- lay it on me. Which ones are the cream of the crop?
Fastest? Strongest? Coolest? Most versatile? I probably shouldn't add to my zoo, but you know how it is. Something new and shiny pops up, and you just gotta have it.
...Whether or not it's actually a shiny.
[Ha. Little joke there.]
Anyway, guess I'll end this message with a few useful links. Got a guide on this place that covers... a lot of bases, but I'll work on bringing it up to date soon enough. Also, the sales post for those of you newbies who want that egg bonus.

[ooc: Good lord, I just discovered that the breeding center hasn't been getting notifs in a while, and I am truly sorry for the negligence as a result. I believe I have fixed the issue- for anyone who had requested eggs and never got a reply, feel free to assume that your character got them a while back.
In the future, I'm gonna try to be more on top of things, but as Mozart mentioned in the OOC comm, any help in maintaining the comm would be severely appreciated due to my work schedule.]
