Uh...hey, everyone....?

[ There's a college-age kid waving at you from the screen. Not too far behind him is a Teddiursa, and the two are a little distance aways from Violet. ]

I guess my quest to become the "greatest Pokémon trainer ever" has gotten off to a good start...? I mean, it was touch-and-go for a while there... [ ...yes, that was a joke

Oh, that shouldn't be too far away...it's the city after Cherrygrove, right?

That sounds about right...we've been traveling for a while now, so we have to be close! And then we can start collecting the badges.

...Hey, thanks for the help! I guess these games are a little more complicated when you're playing them for real.

[He's... not in any hurry to talk to Junpei again, all things considered, but he has a guess as to where Junpei might be, and if that's the case...

... Well, here's hoping that he hasn't learned a certain piece of information that Santa has, because this could be amusing. Not that he'd ever find amusement at the cost of Junpei's sake, of course-]

Hey, chump. Where are you?

[ Oh, Santa. You're as personable as ever. Junpei decides to ignore the dig for now, though. ]

I should be pretty close to the next town by now, I think.

[ He raises a hand up to shield his eyes as he looks ahead, trying to catch a glimpse of it. ]

[He rolls his eyes.]

Yeah, and there's, what, ten towns in this place? A name would help, genius.

...Oh. Uh, right. [ He scratches the back of his head sheepishly.

And then he takes a second to check his map for the name. ] It's....Violet City, yeah. I'm near there.
