[Being that she isn't the most social of butterflies, Agent Carolina hasn't been on the network in quite a while. More than that, though, she's been a bit busy, as she'll later reveal.

But for anyone who may remember how stoic and withdrawn her first few posts were, they may be surprised to see how open and bright she seems now, smiling gently at the camera as if she'd just been laughing at her stupid blood gulch boys.

Behind her stands her faithful sparring partner, her Pangoro ~~and spoiled child~~ Aggie.]

Hey, trainers. I've got something useful for you coming up.

Starting next week-- that's the eighth of July, for you-- you can now take self defense classes with myself, or, if you're younger, my partner North. If you're wondering who the hell I am and how the hell I can teach classes like this, I'm former freelancer Agent Carolina, top rated in mixed martial arts in... 'the future'.

[ahem.]

I'll be holding classes every day in Goldenrod except for Saturdays, and I'll train whoever's willing in mixed martial arts, and... maybe even teach you to fight with your pokémon.

[Behind her, Aggie gives a grunt of agreement before attempting to return to his cool-guy demeanour.]

North will teach anyone under 12 years old on Fridays, and I'll teach anyone over that. If you don't have money to pay for it, I'll accept clean-up work instead.

Now, I know some of you are still struggling with road closures and limited travel, so... if that's a problem, let me know, and we'll see what three Freelancers can't do to get you started.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right. A wild pokémon could attack a human, but in a battle one would hope otherwise.

What badge are you on, anyway?

[Carolina'd been starting to collect them, and then. Fight Church planning.]

Uh. I haven't started yet. But I guess with as close to the first gym as I am again I figured I should maybe start. Do I get money or is it just a dork badge to show off my dorkiness? [PRIORITIES]

You get a reward, but the badge is more important. You know, if you want to get around anywhere.

[unless...]

Wait. You aren't a breeder, are you?

Jesus, no, that's the job for your boyfriends.

I got to Goldenrod just fine without getting any nerd medallions. Why do I need those if I can just keep walking along the paths through the wilderness with no roads or cars?

[damn right they are and damn if she hasn't made fun of them every day for it, but at the caveat of spending time with all these EGGS]

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were so keen on the early American settler vibe when it came to traveling.

Look, nobody told me that there weren't any vehicles, and that if people just wanted to pick me up with giant birds or teleporting psycho-armadillos-I don't know whats that they could just do that!

Oh god. I do not want to go through that cave again. Unless I can actually catch that giant rock snake. Instead I got a shitload of bats.

You know, they do have names.

[ . . . ]

Ones that don't sound like they were thought up by Caboose.

[No freckles over here.]

Ouch. You don't pull any punches, do you. Sorry I'm not a dictionary of poke-names, that's what my lil computer google wiki thing is for.

[. . . ]

Well, at first I wasn't serious... but it's a lot easier to remember Pokédex than "google wiki thing".

[church why do you make things harder for yourself]

The fuck kind of name is a dex. Why can't we call it ~~bulbapedia~~ poke-wiki?
