Case 010: [video]

[So how do you keep a strategist trainer with what basically amounts to a super bug-killing party from steam-rolling the things all weekend? You poison the trainer, of course! So the feed opens in the back of the Pokécenter, with Naoto tucked into a bed and being fussed over by a Nurse Joy. She looks pretty pale, and one of her arms is heavily ( Read more... )

[... So while seeing someone like that is concerning (also he wonders what this 'swarm' is), new arrival's curiosity is piqued by unfamiliar terms.] ... 'Badges'?

[The Clefairy scrambles off while Naoto explains, coming up with six shiny badges around the time she finishes.]

You must be a new arrival, yes? Badges are a mark of accomplishment and respect among the natives. Particularly strong trainers in most cities will set up a gym in their city for trainers to challenge them. Most of these gym leaders, as they are called, have a theme. Usually a type--such as flying, or dragon, or ice. If you defeat a leader, you earn the gym's badge. Collect all the badges, and you earn a great deal of respect from the natives. And other things, possibly.

Yeah, that's right. [Naoki nods to the question and then he blinks, listening intently.] So...trainers...do we have these Pokémon in order to fight with them? [He looks down at the Houndour in his lap and she peers back at him.]

Many trainers do. A good number of the Pokémon I've encountered enjoy fighting. Not all of them, naturally, but most of them do. Some choose to become breeders instead, however.

The Pokémon do? [Hmm. He shouldn't be too surprised--a lot of demons were the same. Ah. He's going to have to break out of the habit of viewing them as one and the same.] Huh. Don't think I'd be much good as a breeder, either...

Has anyone ever gotten all the badges?

Not that I am aware of, but I had little contact with the rest of us as a whole for some time in the middle of winter, so that's why I asked. I have six of the eight, myself.

That's quite a few...how long did it take you to get them all?

Eight months now, though there were long breaks in between several of them.

[...that's a while.] Mm...this place, is it very big?

It can take weeks to travel from one town to another, but there is very little in the way of vehicles here. Most people walk, so it isn't as large as it seems at first.

I'm pretty used to walking, so that's not too bad... Are the towns very big?

Most are on the small side, but Goldenrod is a good-sized city. I haven't seen any that are larger, at least.

Maybe I'll aim for there, then... [H-he's comfortable in large places, what can he say? But it's about here he pauses and clears his throat awkwardly.]

Sorry, for bombarding you with these questions all of a sudden.

I don't mind. Everyone has many questions when they arrive; getting them answered makes the transition run more smoothly.

[He smiles at that.] Thanks. My name's Naoki, by the way.

Naoto Shirogane; it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
