[video/text] Experiment 4 [route 36]

[monochrome_mind]

[The pokegear turns on in the late evening, and from how wobbily the feed is, it's clear that Sasha isn't controlling the device. Instead, viewers might hear a buzzing noise which is often associated with Magnemites. The camera shows off the beautiful scenery of route 36, before turning quickly to show Sasha staring at a tree, or rather a Sudowoodo

You have to defeat the Goldenrod Gym. You'll be given a watering can of sorts which you can use to make the pokémon move - but why only that will work is quite a mystery.

[He looks like he ponders that for a second, but then moves on.]

What's the hurry?

A mystery that I'm not too fond of right now. So, it only moves with a certain type of water...How annoying.

[And because it's Cooper and no one else, Sasha actually lets his guard down. He's showing emotions, mainly frustration towards that darn Sudowoodo, which isn't normal.]

I was ready to move on from Violet City. [That and he's probably tired of seeing everyone else being happy there. As of late, he's just been a little bit on edge, so to speak.]

[Oh, Cooper knows the feeling. Hence why he's on the move half the time.]

I could probably help you, unless you mind waiting. I'm heading up to Ecruteak.

[Checking the map-function for a second--] It'd take me approximately two and a half days to get to the spot.

[Sasha perks up a bit upon hearing Cooper say that. On the other hand though, he pride might be getting in the way. The psychonaut thinks about it for a moment, as if nervous to ask for such a favor.]

This was my own mistake and I should try to find a way out of it without...

[And his statement is interrupted by a loud thump, and Cooper can probably see (since this feed is live) that a Hypno has forcefully headbutted Sasha from behind. The pokemon stands up afterwards and stares Sasha down. There's a moment of silence between pokemon and trainer, a wordless conversation, before Sasha finally speaks up.]

I gratefully accept your offer, Coop.

I'm afraid you will either have to take the long way around, or wait for the help of someone with Goldenrod's Gymnasium badge.

Re: [voice]

[monochrome_mind]

I'll look into getting some help first before turning back and going the long way. Alas, I wish the poke'gear map feature had pointed out this blockade before I tried to go down this path.

...Either way, thank you for the advice. It's been a while since we've last spoken to each other, Mr. John Doe. I hope things have been favorable wherever you are.

[There is a very noticeable pause.]

Of course.

Re: [voice]

[monochrome_mind]

[Oh that pause makes Sasha wonder if the answer he's been given in genuine. He won't press the issue though.]

Good to hear it. I never asked you this before, but do you have any particular goals you're looking to fulfil here in Johto? Like getting all of the badges and such.
