Bit rude of you to make jokes about my boredom when you've been feeling just as restless, isn't it? Or maybe just hypocritical. Don't get me wrong, though, it's not like I'm really complaining or anything. Can't quite force myself to get worked up when it means that I get to stretch my limbs for the first time in months.

If this doesn't alleviate your boredom, though, I personally find that taking things apart is usually pretty interesting. Although putting them back together is a whole other story.

Volkner. What a pleasant surprise. [Hint the sarcasm.]

[beacon]

[ Volkner hears that sarcasm and is all too happy to return it. ]

My thoughts exactly. It's like the reunion I never knew I wanted.

[giveme_yourmeteors]

Of course. How electrifying.

[beacon]

Should I take that as a compliment?

[giveme_yourmeteors]

Perhaps.

[beacon]

... I can see you're as personable as usual.

[giveme_yourmeteors]

As always. If you understood Team Galactic's aims, perhaps it would enlighten you.

[beacon]

For better or for worse, I'm not very interested in that sort of enlightenment.

[giveme_yourmeteors]

Perhaps you should be. Soon, Sinnoh will be under my power.

[beacon]

You keep on telling yourself that, then. Meanwhile, I'll just continue going on in my own way.

[littleblue_penguin]

Pip?

[beacon]

[ seeing a Piplup reminds him of a certain Trainer, for some reason. He approaches cautiously, not entirely sure if it's wild or not. ]

Hmm... can't say I expected to see one of you around here.

[littleblue_penguin]

Pip? Pip-lup. [He smiled up at the leader.]

[beacon]

[ he offers a hand out; it seems friendly enough that he doesn't think he's going to get bitten or something... ]

Heh. I guess you're the adventurous sort, aren't you?

[littleblue_penguin]

[He nodded.] Piplup!

[beacon]

Adventurous is good, but don't wander too far. [ ... ] Say, you don't have a Trainer, do you?

[littleblue_penguin]

Pip? [It was Dawn...but he didn't know where she was.]

[beacon]

Well, if you do, they'll probably worry. [ ... ] If they're any good as a Trainer, at least.

[littleblue_penguin]

Pip-lup! [He nodded. He trusted this guy as he had heard about him from Dawn and Ash.]

[lead_shitennou]

What is that creature on your shoulder? [Sorry, he's a bit clueless.]

[beacon]

That would be my Ambipom. Or more generally, he's one of my Pokémon. [ ... ] I take it you're not familiar with Pokémon.

Sorry he's a bit O_o

[lead_shitennou]

No, I am not. What is it?

aah no problem! o/

[beacon]

Pokémon are the creatures that inhabit the regions from the world I come from. Though that's kind of an oversimplification.

Re: aah no problem! o/

[lead_shitennou]

I see. What do you do with these Pokemon?

[beacon]

Me specifically? I train them. Though that's just one path people can choose to take.

[lead_shitennou]

Train them to do what?

[beacon]

To battle.

[ ... ] It's really not as bad as it sounds, if that's what you're thinking.

[lead_shitennou]

I find it interesting. [Would this man have an energy crystal worth taking?]

[beacon]

Most people do, I think. Apparently it's not common outside where I come from.

[champ_coordinator]

Volkner isn't it?

[beacon]

That's me. [ there's a pause as he side-eyes Wallace for a moment - is this somebody he's supposed to know? he doesn't even know the names of all the people in his League, to be honest, but he has this feeling... ]

... And as for yourself?

[champ_coordinator]

Wallace of Hoenn. Champion and leader of the Wallace Cup.

[beacon]

Oh. [ if he were anybody else he would probably want to punch himself in the face for being such an ignorant but, nope, just gonna continue being shameless. ]

From Hoenn, huh? Can't say I know much about the region. [ ... ] Anyways, it's nice to meet you.

[champ_coordinator]

[He nodded but looked slightly disappointed at the man's reaction to him.]

It's alright. I'm just visiting Sinnoh for the Wallace Cup and exploring the three lakes.

[beacon]

Ah, Lake Verity, Valor, and Acuity, huh. Are you interested in myths, then?

[pikacosplay]

Volkner! Volkner, if you take something apart I wanna watch! Okay?

[beacon]

Oh? You don't want to help take it apart?

[pikacosplay]

[GASP!] Can I? Can I? I can use the screwdriver and unscrew the thingies!

[beacon]

As long as you're careful, I don't see why not.

[pikacosplay]

I will be! Promise! I won't touch the sharp parts! [She bounces on her toes in excitement.] What can we take apart?

[beacon]

Hmm... do you want to try something big or something small?

[galactic_bluedude]

Oh, how boring.

[beacon]

Which part?

[galactic_bluedude]

All of it. You're Volkner, the electric type gym leader, aren't you?

[beacon]

Yeah, that's me. Can't say I know who you are, though.
