[text] the best way to arrive is by ambulance

um hello, my name is red
i'm currently staying at the hospital right now i guess?
thank you for taking care of me but

i'm sort of confused
am i hallucinating all this or what
i need to contact my mom

what, a war with a god
what
i mean if they need help taking down badguys okay
but war?
shouldn't people choose to do that instead of
ugh no point complaining if you think it's dumb too

and don't worry about my brain none
i'd rather know what i was dealing with than sit and wait for answers
maybe it's foolhardy but i would rather be doing something than laying here

yeah, my real name is red
i guess it's an odd name, but my best friend growing up is named blue
so i think it's just tradition in my home town

Dumb isn't the word I'd choose, I'd say it was fucked up.

Though if you push yourself too hard before you're better then you'll end up doing something; collapsing like a bitch in the halls. Not something you should let happen twice in the one day.

Just checking if it was a codename or something; that's all. My name is Santa; dunno if I said already.

If you want to shoot the shit when you're not in the hospital then you should give me a shout.

[If he can find out if he can trust this kid then he can maybe tell him all about the power of psycho babble time travel time paradox life or death ghost sister June. It could give him some hope about getting back home alive, after all.

He's not too eager to just dish that info out, though.]

i'm "too young to swear", but i'm inclined to agree
i took down the rockets, but i chose to do that because i believed in it
you can't just have people do things they don't believe in

true
i'm not exactly an athlete
i should be by now, but genes aren't on my side in that department

that's fine, it might as well be a codename anyway
gotcha

and thank you, by the way

Well you can force them to do things they don't believe in; people do it all the time.

Maybe that's what this is; who can tell just yet? I'm sure as hell not convinced either way.

You're not an athlete but you should be by now... and you were on a mountain? Were you some kind of wanderer?

And don't mention it, seriously.

you can, but you really shouldn't
that's not where real effort comes from
then it's just forced responsibility

yeah, sort of
i wasn't really supposed to be wandering anymore
i'm a trainer- we go around with our pokemon and battle one another
i became champion, which means i was supposed to guard my region
well, two, since johto and kanto share a champion
so i was supposed to stay put and wait for emergencies
i got asked to check out something on the mountain, so i jumped at the opportunity i guess

[It's best not to try and lecture someone like Santa on the pros and cons of forcing people to do crazy things they don't want to do ~~lolNonaryGame~~ so he ignores that part of the conversation now]

I'm guessing that's sort of like one of those guys who fights with demons here or something? A trainer? I'm just tossing these ideas around though so stop me if they sound retarded.

Whatever it means; if you were a champ then I guess you're hot shit?

[Sssshhhh, the longer it takes for him to fall in to the pit trap of numbers: the game, the more likely he is to NOT get pissy about it!]

i guess so
i mean, pokemon can't talk
not really anyway

and a trainer has to defeat all their regions gym leaders- masters of a specific pokemon type -to even get to challenge the league champ
it's a big deal but i don't really want it to be
hopefully someday someone will challenge me and the baton will get passed
that's how it works

Lemme guess; honour stops you from just taking a dive and passing the torch that way?

I guess if it's as big a pain as you seem to think it is it'd be less like passing the torch and more using the torch to light someone on fire.

i wouldn't be champion if i didn't enjoy battling
it would be like really wanting to become a baker, then giving up once you're successful

i guess there's just aspects of it i wasn't...anticipating
i was in it to prove me and my team could do it
i didn't want to become a political cop

bedrest is lame!!! he's used to being a crazy wandering hiker person!!!!!!

It's a shame you didn't bring your moms house with you for instant healing.

momsona would have been an amazing idea why didn't I think of that-

if we had a gold with a momsona she would steal all of his money and buy his useless crap. thanksmom

gold!momsona would be a support with eight slots of treasure radar

dammit mom!

mutation skill- beat someone's face in with the piggy bank, instant KO

but that implies she'll be useful and not a money wasting dead weight :o
