Yo! So I've been thinking a little bit about the different worlds and stuff and I was kinda wondering.

Do you guys have any particular meanings behind your names?

[ Kirishima holds up what looks to be like a notepad that would be used normally for restaurant order tickets. ]

For example, my name's Kirishima, right? But in my language that can be broken up into kanji - um, symbols?

So this symbol means 'to cut'.

[ A picture of 切 . His writing is not the best, but it's legible. ]

But you pronounce it 'kiri'. Then this symbol means "island".

[ Next page flipped over, a picture of 島 ]

But it's pronounced 'shima'. You put them together and it can be 'Kirishima' but they also have that extra meaning? Because there are other symbols that can make those same sounds but they don't have the same meaning.

Anyway, what meanings are behind your names?

[Kazuki can't help but chuckle.]

It's Hihara, not Hikaru. It's like this: 火原. [Fire and field, respectively.] Kazuki's probably hard to guess. It's a really common name and there must be a million spellings.

Ah! Sorry 'bout that!

[ Kirishima gives a sheepish smile as he rubs the back of his neck. ]

Yeah, you're right! Oh man...

[ He gives a soft laugh. ]

I'm really not that great at language. [ Case in point: he means 'linguistics'. ] Part of me wants to take a couple more guesses at your 'Kazuki'...

But maybe first you could tell me about yourself? Do you think your name fits you?

[ He means the kanji of Kazuki's name too, but it's definitely open to interpretation. ]

I think it fits me okay! I'm a musician by trade-- I was getting classical training back home, and it's how I've made most of my money here. Right now, I'm fixing up an inn! I'm hoping to use it someday as a rehabilitation center for people and Pokemon. The sort of place someone can rest and relax, and heal.

For fun, I like to play sports! And I love sweet things.

[machismost]

Oh yeah? What kind of instrument do you play?

[ This is more pure curiosity than an attempt to get a better guess, though maybe he'll work it over there. ]

Is the inn different from a Pokecenter? Man I have even more questions...

Ok! One more. What's your favorite sport?

[forsaintcecilia]

The trumpet!

Yeah, it's different. It's meant for more long term stays, depending on what the guest needs. It's not like a Pokemon Center where you can jut get a quick heal and leave.

And my favorite sport is basketball!
