[The view: the ceiling of the most enpensive restaurant in Celadon. The background noise: dozens of customers enjoying their meals, and Cecil tapping his fingers on a wooden table.]

When I first awoke in New Bark Town, four years ago, I was... unwell. This whole world's very existence confused me, and so did my presence in it. The relatively weak and harmless-looking monsters were also a shock. Had it not been for Rosie's sweetness, I surely would have attempted to fight her. You could say that day was very unpleasant, though still far from the worse I've had.

[The background noise: a liquid hitting glass. The view: a quick flash of a wine bottle in a corner.]

And yet... when I finally managed to use the Pokégear, I was contacted by friends I'd not seen in seventeen years. Friends I'd not remembered in seventeen years, and that I would not have expected to ever see again even if I'd kept those memories. I also met kind people, good people, who made my first few weeks here much easier than they would otherwise have been. All have been gone for years, now, but I still find myself thinking of them fondly. Therefore... you could say that day was a good day, too.

[The action, unseen and barely heard: Cecil making a silent toast to all those people, and downing that glass before setting it back on the table.]

...Well! Now that I've shared my first day experience, it's only fitting that you do the same. Surely you all have interesting stories to share.

...I believe that, too. I've spoken to a few people that seem to think they know how it can be done, but I don't think they have anything besides theories - but it's something that we should hold out hope for, regardless of how hopeless it seems now!

We haven't really gone traveling in a while, honestly...

Mostly the former. Honestly, it takes a lot less energy to just settle into a routine.

That's the sort of thing one of my friends tends to say a lot, too, regarding the reasons why we shouldn't give up - I think it's something that a lot of people could learn from, as it's gotten us through a lot.

I'm glad to hear it from someone else, too.

You've got that right. And switching them out several times a day so everybody gets a shot outside... Doing all that and trying to move somewhere would just be a headache.

...A house, huh. Maybe I'll bring that up with Sion some time.

Yeah, that's the thing... Last time I had a house of my own, it was way too much for just me. But with all the Pokemon, we could use the space...

Ahaha, yeah, that'd definitely be helpful...

Hmm?

I think it's been nearly 2 years since I showed up, being in a coma not counting. Anyway, when I first got here I had to literally walk from New Bark Town all the way to Violet with my Charmander Blaze!

Hehe, my friends didn't have Fly back then so they couldn't come get me. It took me 2 weeks before I got to Violet and met up with my friends!

My first day...

That's over three years ago for me. I got lucky that my best friend and teacher was here to give me the run down of this place. Although someone told me that I died and this is hell before my friend get to me...

[Which...Atsuro almost believed. When Babel went all GLOWING WHITE after they defeated the security system, it almost give credence to that explanation.]

So I was lucky, since I probably would have a harder time believing anyone if it weren't for my friend or teacher.

No, but when you're traveling in really cold weather when the season's changing it's pretty hard to find anything good to think about.

Wait, three times?

Eh, I'd just let Marian have the kitchen to herself. I'm sure she'd love it.

[...which isn't to mention the Lampent, but she's usually okay...]
