So, crisis over, thanks to Kazuki who found Magneton for me. Kaz, I owe you big time for this, thanks for finding Magneton and watching him for me until I got there. You're the best.

That being said, I guess I'm going to backtrack since I kinda-sorta left Sasami in Viridian so I'll be heading back there, thank god for Pokecenter ports.

[She breathes a little, calming her nerves a bit, looking a bit out of place but then smiles.]

Thanks everyone for looking out for the kids. I have another favor to ask. I need to make a shopping trip to the two department stores for a couple of days real quickly before I return, so can someone check in on Sasami for me before I return? I'm letting her know now, but... I've decided that when we arrive in Pewter, I'm going to take on Brock.

At the Elite Level.

With no potions or revives.

Call me crazy, and I know my team is 99% Electric but... This is a challenge that I've been dreading since I got here. But after this, I feel like, since Magneton went out of his way to train, to not disappoint me? I need to not disappoint the kids and prepare THEM with some TMs and extra preparation. I can't be throwing potion after potion on them to push it through the challenge, that's disrespectful to the challenge. So...

The challenge will be issued in, maybe 2 weeks time, so if anyone wants to come out and see it first hand, we'll be in Pewter by then, since I intend to let Sasami go first.

Thanks.

Have you found some new interest that's taken its place?

I started writing a manga again, to be honest. But lately, memories started filtering in. Old memories, over the years of being a hero. Stuff I had forgotten. It always comes crashing back during the Wall but lately, it's been... brighter? More vivid?

It's kind of crazy but...

I feel like I've lost the drive that was pushing me to keep improving.

I need to find it again.

[A sigh.]

I was a shounen hero protagonist... in a girls anime ensemble setting in the loosest sense. My way of expressing my energy was drawing, and then punching things and screaming my feelings through literal attack phrases.

It's a life that's driving my head back into place again and I'm starting to feel it stir again, like the thought of challenging Brock is stirring up old emotions again.

[There are a lot of words there that she's not sure of. However she seems to be thinking it over.]

Is there a reason you don't always have access to these memories?

And it might be simplistic but I find that having a goal...however vague it was, helped me continue to push forward in improving.

I'm not entirely certain, but... I'm sure my mind was messed with before I came here. That's the only logical reason I have. When I think back, I was in a severe daze before arriving. Like I forgot my own birthday or something after celebrating it a week ago. My memory was definitely poor.

That makes sense. I think I need to get those TMs and start training in earnest. Really get myself and the kids going.

That's ...disturbing on a few levels. I'd say I hope you find the person who did it and make them pay but I suppose that's not possible here.

[Why do you hate revenge, world?]

I've only been here for a while and I kind of get it. Because that goal I had, it's only something I can do in my own world. And it's the same goal I've had my entire life. Sure I got drawn into other stuff, but it was always there.

And I got here and I had to figure out some other ...thing to do. Training helped. My friend from home being here, helped a lot more.

But it really sucks when you lose something like that.

My tiny little 600 IQ Galaxy Brain is telling me I have one suspect, but I can't remember his name. Just that he was a very bad person. I'm sure there's someone who does know who it is though.

[Thank you Reika for being on top of things. And also Revenge is bad mmkay?]

Yeah. When I got here, I was all happy and excited to be here, and I traveled around a lot, but then I started slowing down when the mind messing started wearing thin. I guess? I'm starting to feel more like myself now.

I think I need to battle again.

Well, good luck with that in the future.

[Revenge is awesome!]

Well that's a goal there. And it's not like it would hurt in the long run.

How long have you been here?

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm gonna challenge some trainers for a while, that'll work getting me into shape.

About... 3 1/2 years? Four now?

Four years.

People keep telling me lengths like that and it always sounds so long to be here. I suppose it doesn't matter in the long run though.

Yeah, it's been a while. Really cleared my head to be honest.

I mean, with time being weird in our worlds? I've seen weirder.

I've seen weirder...other things.

This is the first time time has been messed up for me. Though I suppose I should just be glad it froze back home.

I'm sure the definition of weird things is a pretty broad spectrum depending on who you ask.

Be lucky. For me, its stopped at least once.
