[The feed opens on Joey and a Bisharp standing in front of a slot machine. Both wear ecstatic expressions as the machine dispenses coin-after-coin, and Joey holds a confused looking Dratini above his head as he cheers. Noise from the other machines and patrons occasionally cuts through the pair's exultation, but the majority of sound pouring through the feed comes from their cheers.]
Yo we did it! We made out like bandits!
[Joey thrusts the Dratini forward for the camera to see.]
Me and Hermos here have been killin' it on da slots, so dis lil' jackpot here marks twelve and a half grand we've managed to carve out! We got ourselves a big ol' chunk'a change and scored dis' heckin' baloon animal-lookin' Pokémon too! There's no stoppin' da wheels on da Joey Train!

[Wearing a slightly indignant expression, Joey mumbles to himself while counting on his fingers at a rapid pace. After a moment he looks back up at Marik, looking fully indignant now.]
Da hell kinda pace are you settin'? Der's been plenty ah time ta hit all da places, and dat's with stopping a few weeks in Goldenrod!
no subject
My pace doesn't matter. It should take you about 2 or 3 months to cover all of Johto. You mean to tell me you've already traveled to Olivine and Cianwood? You took the ferry there?
no subject
Yeah. By da time I'm done it'll have been two months. I stahted on da 23rd of Octobah, and a I'll be done right before Christmas. Only places I got left ah Mahogany n' Blackthorn and dat's a wrap.
[He sighs in exasperation.]
Means I actually get'ta relax for da holidays doe', and that's gonna be real' nice.
no subject
I... Tchh.
... Good luck then, I guess. Dress warm. Be careful. Whatever.

[Joey grimaces.]
Should be an easy ride until den doe', even cold as it's been, but der's no way to take a bike in a place like dat' without eatin' it so I'll have to beat it on foot.
no subject
I don't know if it will help in the cave but it's good to have in general: buy a stove-pipe tent for warmth if you haven't already.
no subject
[Joey grimaces.]
I'm tryin' ta go fast, so havin' to worry about clobberin' myself every step ain't exactly great. Doubly so cuz it means I won't be able ta use my new bike!
no subject
Is there something you can wear on your shoes to make it easier to traverse?
no subject
[Joey shrugs.]
I just gotta hike troo da old-fashioned way and finish out da last couple warp pads. Den it's Christmas Chicken n' good times!
