Hi all,

It's been a while since I've written. Sorry about that.

Fall's really something here. Red, Misty and I took advantage of the last warm weekend and went camping up in the mountains--still got cold at night, though. It was fun, we had a good time. It's nice to just relax and not think about school for a few days. Between class and a part-time gig doing...secretarial work, I'm pretty busy.

Johto's new champion enrolled--she's a nice girl. Talented trainer. I guess I'd hear from you guys if anyone of that caliber came through the gym, huh?

Anyway, sorry I won't be around to take everyone out for Halloween this year. I'd try to fly out, but since it's a Sunday night I'd need to be back in time for class on Monday, so I don't think I could cut it. I'll come visit soon, though. You should send pictures--I've attached a few myself. My dorm, my classroom, the campus. As crazy as the school is, it's actually really nice.

I'm...dating. I know it seems weird to be telling you this in a letter, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back to Kanto, and I think I'd feel weirder not saying anything. I would probably be a little more nervous if not for the fact that you already know her. Erika, I mean.

Hope everyone's doing well, and that everything's running smoothly. I'll come visit soon and check up on the gym.

-Brock

Does anyone have a needle and thread I could borrow? I popped a few buttons off the side of my cargo pants today and I can't find my kit. Maybe I left it at home.

What's everyone doing for Halloween? I haven't been at the school for one, so I guess I'm just curious as to how it's celebrated around here.

I dunno about anyone else, but I'm going trick-or-treating! The two things that make the universe go round are love and free candy.

I've got some superglue, but I don't have any sewing stuff, sorry. Any time I rip stuff, I send it back home to Mom. Cargo pants malfunctions aren't really something that I've ever needed to be prepared for.

Yeah, usually I take my brothers and sisters out, but I think on my own I'm a little old for it.

That's okay. I'm used to a lot of rips and tears, so that's why I keep a kit, but for some reason I can't find it. Super glue probably won't hold buttons, but thanks for the offer.

I do.

Man, growing up must be super depressing! You're the second one of my friends to call himself too old for trick-or-treating. Nobody should be candyless on Halloween, Brock!

I'm already giving the candy I don't want to Eusine, but maybe you could ask your brothers and sisters. How many do you have? Are they my age?

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Do you mind if I borrow it?

[personal profile] trick_room 2010-10-25 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's mine. Get your own.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
...Fine, I'll ask someone else.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there's always the sales the next day. I'll go buy all the leftover Halloween candy for half price.

Sure, I have a brother around your age. I'm the oldest of ten.

[identity profile] notsilvertongue.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ten? You have nine brothers and sisters? I've never met anyone with a family that big in my whole life! You're so lucky, Brock!

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's...an adventure. Do you have any siblings?

[identity profile] notsilvertongue.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm an only child. I used to want a little brother or sister so bad, though! I mean, it's not so bad now, because I met Rui. But when I was a kid, I thought it'd be awesome to be somebody's big sister.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Rui's your Feraligatr, right?

It's a big responsibility. But I guess having just one younger sibling would be a little different.

[identity profile] notsilvertongue.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, you remembered? Yeah! Emperor Rui the Almighty Crusher.

I dunno... I think it'd be kind of fun having lots of siblings. You'd always be around friends! It must have been good practice for raising a Pokemon team too, right?

[identity profile] pinkgingham.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I have quite a few needles and spools of thread! You're more than welcome to borrow mine, if you'd like.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. He did a number on my Golem, after all.

That's a good way to think of it, yeah. When I first got my license and started building a team, they weren't old enough to train yet, but now a few of them have Pokemon of their own. The next oldest after me is actually keeping an eye on the gym while I'm here.

You're a lifesaver. Should I go to the Home Ec. room?

[identity profile] pinkgingham.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that'd be just fine. I'll go on ahead and give them to you there!

[identity profile] monotreme-101.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Some friends of mine and I normally dress up to a theme but we haven't talked about it this year. So.. I dunno.

Looks like Miss Able is able to give you a needle n thread, haha! I was gonna offer you mine.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Great. I'll be right over.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, that's pretty cool. It must be a lot of fun.

Got it taken care of, yeah. Thanks, though.

[identity profile] ohjeffums.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
What do you know! Beaten to it by two different people. As long as you get those pants fixed, all's well! Best of luck.

[identity profile] bestsweater.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's appreciated. I'm actually kind of surprised how many guys people have offered.

[identity profile] ohjeffums.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Really? It's good to know so many g-guys people are willing to lend a hand.

[identity profile] hasbandanacap.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, looks like you got your needle issue solved with Miss Sable.

I'm probably not going to do much for Halloween. I used to tag along with my little brother dressed up in costumes every year before I left on my journey. But I came back from completing my Pokedex, I was more of like a guardian looking after him, haha.

[identity profile] pinkgingham.livejournal.com 2010-10-25 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, I'll be waiting!
