[ Have you missed Shooter being loud, Route? Well, never fear. The boy waves Ecruteak's gym badge in his free hand, and there's a Cyndaquil clinging to his shoulder. He seems to be sitting on a Rhyhorn, somewhere along Route 38. ]

Dun-dun-DAHH! Got my fourth badge! And a new addition to the team, too-- meet Tin Pin Teal! I just traded a big grumpy

Congratulations on the badge.

[Not that Shiraishi knows you, but you asked a question that he knows an answer to, so.]

The Olivine Gym is a steel type one and you get another HM from there. Surf, actually.

[usedslam]

Thanks, bro!

[ It's all good, Shooter will talk to anyone. ]

Ohhh. Surf's the one that lets you go over water, right?

[flawlesspoison]

Yep, that's it. Since you already got the Ecruteak badge, you can use it right after you obtain the badge.

[usedslam]

Cool! I've gotta have it.

Where can you swim to? Are there islands and stuff?

[darkenedgales]

Catching up fast, ain't ya?

[Seeing his (apparently undying) enthusiasm, Crow just grins.]

Olivine's got Jasmine and Steel-types. If you've got a Fire-type on ya, you're probably good to go! You'll get Surf for beating her, which is almost as useful as Fly. [Keyword: almost.]

[usedslam]

Well, DUH! We'll be fighting the Elite Four in no time.

[ Infinite confidence, too. ]

Teal's not that strong yet, but he'll get there! And I've got a Charmeleon who's super powerful.

[darkenedgales]

Don't forget to keep us updated.

[Always a good thing to have!]

Heh, sounds like you're all set, then!

[usedslam]

I'll make calls about it ALL THE TIME, bro, not to worry! Because I have to, like... document my rise to fame. People do that, right?

[video] she's totally heard louder-

[magickspark]

[Now there's a few Pokeymon she hasn't seen before; the hedgehog like one is pretty cute, though what is that big gray thing he's sitting on?]

Tin Pin Teal? And what is a Golem anyway? [Like, she recognizes the name somewhat as a fictional earth made creature but herp Pokeymans are different. Badges are about the Gym challenge she read about from her booklet, but unfortunately, Twilight doesn't know squat for the questions he's asking.]

[usedslam]

Yeah! He's part of my team of Kindred Spirits now, the Tin Pin masters! Even if they no ones really plays Tin Pin here.

[ Tin Pin being, of course, some Beyblade knockoff minigame from his own world. ]

And a Golem's a really big awesome rock Pokemon. It's like a boulder with its head sticking out-- I had one named Grey, because before he evolved he was grey!

[magickspark]

Huh.. what is Tin Pin? It must be fun if it has all of those kinds of titles like kindred spirits and masters.

[Not that she knows olololol ponygirl says wut is Beyblade?]

Oh wow, I can't say I've seen one before then! Did you raise him to get like that? [LEARNING WHAT POKES GENERALLY WERE TRAINED VS WILD CAPTURES, YEAHHHH]

[usedslam]

Tin Pin Slammer is only the best game ever, bro! But no one in Johto knows how to play... and I can't find any pins to play it with.

To get one you have to evolve a Geodude, which are the rocks with arms in Union cave, they're super cool. Then trade it to someone and trade back again! It's complicated.

[itsthebutz]

Surf and Fly are the best HMs in my opinion. And the next two gyms for you happen to dish out those HMs!

As for Olivine's gym, I say go in with Fire and Ground types.

[usedslam]

Well... I just traded my best ground Pokemon, but I got a new Fire one! So I bet it'll be no problem.

What's Fly do?

[used_glare]

Congratulations on your badge and your new Pokemon, Shooter-san!

{Proud mother figure is proud ;u;!}

[usedslam]

THANKS!

[ He beams at her, and the Cyndaquil squeaks its agreement. ]

We're on our way to the championship.
