The Contest was a sucess; Milotic took second place. I can't believe we did that well, especially since we went against the Lopunny that's apparently been taking the Contest Hall by storm as of late. She beat us by a pretty big margin, but Milotic still did better than the rest of the competitors, so it's a win.
I'm glad to be back in town, though. Darren's been taking care of the Breeding Center this whole time, so hopefully everything's been going well. I'm not nearly as worried about the Center as I am about the house. I just hope it's still standing when we get there.
Taguchi-kun? If you have some time, I'm going to need to call in that favor from you in the next few days...
