[Background: Saffron City's Pokémon Center, lobby, that nice spot with the comfy benches. Foreground: Avenger is propped against Rosie, who is snuggling up to Esuna, who is spread out halfway on Edges, who is curled up against Minerva, who is sprawled over Kayne's tail. All are sleeping.]

Truly. You'd think a good battle would have left them energized. I think the lack of talented opponents made them lazy.

[But Cecil sounds more fond of them than anything, the silly man.]

That's another badge earned, and four possible paths to follow. It's nicer than having to follow a predetermined route, I must admit.

[Even if he'll spend the next few days wondering where to go.]

As strong as this one, hopefully. I usually manage to win through type advantage only; having to strategize was refreshing.

[derpsaboutfamily]

I'm sure your Pokemon thought the same thing!

[paladinlost]

Yet they look far from refreshed, at the moment.

[In fact, Kayne is definitely snoring.]

[derpsaboutfamily]

A nice nap is probably a good reward for a hard day's work!

[paladinlost]

It'd certainly be cheaper than buying them new TMs.

Which Gym will you be hitting up next, if you don't mind my asking? I've heard quite a bit about those in Johto, but not as much about the Kanto ones.

[paladinlost]

I'm not certain yet. Celadon, Cerulean, Vermillion and Lavender are all a few days away, and of these I only know that Cerulean and Celadon have Gyms.

[derpsaboutfamily]

If Kanto is anything like Johto, I'm certain most of those cities will house a Gym of some sort.

[paladinlost]

It'd be likely. The whole region barely includes enough cities for eight badges as it is.

[derpsaboutfamily]

Good luck on the other badges! Do keep me updated on what the battles are like?

[paladinlost]

Thank you. I'll try to share my impressions of the Gym leaders as I travel.
