[Ken is on screen, rolling the Storm badge between his fingers.]

I have four gym badges, now. That means I'm halfway to getting them all, right?

[Precocious twelve year old time.] Why does everyone get so excited about them? You're not even fighting, yourselves. My Pokemon like it, so I'll keep doing it. And I'll keep making sure they're ( Read more... )

Congratulations, Ken-san!

But, um... The moment you start thinking about it like that is the moment you cease to have any fun at all with Pokemon battles...

And then they disappear like Fuuko-san, Phoenix-san and Franziska-san.

So you'd rather not be close to anyone at all since they can just up and vanish someday?

Everyone leaves me behind, anyway. What I have... is important to me, but it's going to hurt when they leave no matter what.

... you know, Ken-san.

A friend of mine once told me that before they showed up here they had died... In that respect, that means that their time spent here might be the last time they ever get to spend anywhere. So because of that, I try to make every moment I spend talking with them a worthwhile one.

Er... Look, what I'm trying to say here is... You shouldn't focus on the fact that they might not be there someday, but should focus on the fact that they're there with you now.

[A scoff from the other end.] You wouldn't understand.

Why should I explain it to you?

You can't very well say I wouldn't understand if you don't explain what I wouldn't understand. I might not know what you've been through, but you don't know what I've been through either.

...

Either way, if you don't want to tell me, I don't mind. But saying I wouldn't understand like that without a reason isn't very fair.

It isn't fair to ask someone about his past, either.

Like I just said, you have absolutely no obligation to tell me... I'm just pointing out how it's unfair to assume I wouldn't understand.

Really, I'm sorry if I touched on a subject that makes you uncomfortable. If it bothers you that much, I'll never ask about it again.
