Gamera showed up at my dorm this morning with a Twinkie wrapper stuck to his foot. Did something happen? I think I'm going to just keep him with me until Raiden gets back. Blacky seems really unreliable this is like the third time this has happenedDELETE DELETE

I know I sort of took off for Kanto over the holidays without much notice and I know I didn't get back to all of you, but thanks for all the gifts. It was really thoughtful of everyone.

Classes will be starting back up on the 17th, right? Is there anything in particular you guys would like me to cover in the next few weeks?

[Private to Erika, hackable.]

Have you ever tried ice skating? [/Private]

[Phone message for Raiden]

Hey, Raiden, just calling to check up on you. Gamera's doing well--I'm not sure what's going on but I think it's up to me to look after him. I trained him with my team this afternoon and I think we'll make a habit of it until you get back.

Hope you're having a good time in New York. Talk to you later. [/Bananaphone]

Oh dear, is he alright?

... No, I haven't just yet. I have an ice skating icon but it is made of lies.

Re: lolol computers

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

He's okay. I think he was a little lonely, so I'm just going to watch him myself until Raiden gets back.

I haven't either. But the lake is frozen solid, so...

Re: lolol computers

[natureprincess]

Ahh, that's good then. Let me know if either of you need anything.

Perhaps we should make use of it then.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about it. Before the weather starts to get warmer and everything melts.

[natureprincess]

Yes, I don't think that would be very conducive to ice skating. I wonder if the school has any skates we could borrow for a bit.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they do. I can check down by the stadium.

[natureprincess]

I bet Gamera would like it too, if Raiden still isn't back. He'll probably be a lot better at it than I will be, actually.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we should take him!

I'm probably not very good either.

[natureprincess]

You have to promise not to laugh. I've never been roller skating either.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Only if you promise not to laugh at me.

[natureprincess]

Then it's a deal.

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

So that's where that jackass has been!

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

...Gamera?

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

No, Jack. Raiden.

I enjoy Gamera.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I never said where Raiden was.

ARE YOU HACKING HIS ANSWERING MACHINE

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

But you said "until Raiden gets back," so obviously he's gone somewhere. I thought he was trying to ignore me.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he left for the holidays.

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

I'm going to thank him for telling me.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

He just went on vacation. He'll be back.

[majorcrotchgrab.livejournal.com]

To a fat TURTEL.

lol Pokemon make such lousy trainers don't they?

[gohomeandcrybby.livejournal.com]

Is Gamera-baby alright?

Leon went to visit Blacky last night and I haven't heard of either of them since.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

He's fine, just a little lonely, I think.

Hm. That's weird. I hope they're okay.

[gohomeandcrybby.livejournal.com]

They probably ran off to smoke and get drunk at a Chinese restaurant.

Gammy can always come play with me at the greenhouse if you ever need a break. Do you know if he's still on a diet? The cake wrapper seems to say otherwise...

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Hey, that sounds like fun. Maybe we should take him to the park if it gets a little warmer. He's still on a diet, but I think he found that Twinkie for himself.

[gohomeandcrybby.livejournal.com]

Awww! I would love that! Sure!


And alright! I'll be sure not to give him sweets for the time being!

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Sounds great.

I'm sure he's okay with them in moderation. He's been getting a workout with my team lately.

[gohomeandcrybby.livejournal.com]

Like at the gym?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Down at the stadium. I haven't taken him back to Kanto with me yet.

[noirnovel.livejournal.com]

what are the topics we can choose for the new semester?
Also, excuse my inquiry but... Who is gamera.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I teach a seminar on Pokemon breeding.

Oh, Gamera is my friend's Squirtle.

[noirnovel.livejournal.com]

(Have a very ashamed dusknoir thinking about someone who is actually mentoring a POKEPORN class to him)

...Ill... Pass for now.

Ah, A squirtle... How interesting, they arent very common outside the hands of younger trainers.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

He's Raiden's starter.

[noirnovel.livejournal.com]

How cute.
I wonder what made you attached to a Water-type...

After all, you are Brock of Pewter City, right?
Im sorry, The name is Gideon.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

That's me.

He's a good Squirtle. Why should type matter?

[noirnovel.livejournal.com]

Curiosity, seeing how you master the Rock-type... I would be a little curious about how you would feel with a Pokemon whose type matchup isnt favorable in a battle with you... You know, for reasons of obedience and such.

Is he training him with some sort of ideal, or just as a companion?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

It doesn't really make a difference to me. Gamera's fun to have around and I enjoy looking after him.

A little of both, I think.

[noirnovel.livejournal.com]

...Im curious, can anyone get a starter Pokemon in this academy?
Even without a license?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Nah, he went to Kanto for his license.

[noirnovel.livejournal.com]

Ah, Im sorry... It seems that I am dwelling too much on personal information.
I barely remember much from my first trainer anyways, but he managed to compete in most of the Hoenn League Challenge...

Have you visited Hoenn?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I haven't. I recently took a trip to Sinnoh, though.

he totally told her at some point and she's forgetting so hard

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Um, what do you teach again, Sir Brock?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

A seminar on Pokemon breeding!

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Is that like...animal husbandry? Like choosin' the right parents and all?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Uh...not really. I guess...if you're concerned about egg moves, you'd choose the parents based on that but...Pokemon work a little differently.
