So, mun. Are you ready? Adventure is like a breath of fresh air.

[unova_champ]

I am not too old to go on an adventure of my own still. Yet, being champion, others still want to take me on in the Champions League. That's perfectly fine. I love a good battle, as it gets the blood pumping. My Pokemon are always keen to test their mettle against others. I was thinking taking a small break to reflect on my battle styles.

Undella Town perhaps? Or maybe the tall heights of Castelia City. I've always wanted to sit by the bay and watch the waves. I might check into the gym and see how young bug trainer Burgh is getting on. Oh, and the Pokemon centre. Nurse Joy....she is beautiful. *cough*

Anyway....so, there is that.

Age is largely relative, I've found. I'll admit, though... the prospect of leaving my sanctuary and seeing more of the world at large is a tempting one.

[unova_champ]

[A Mewtwo? Special.]

Tempting and believable if you want to travel down that path.

[psychic_supremecy]

[Don't get any ideas. He knows what you're thinking after all.]

My primary concern is the presence of humans that would seek to obtain my power.

[unova_champ]

[He wasn't thinking of making you a prisoner to a trainer. No Pokeball coming at you. Not at all.]

I see. The ones who seek to use you for what you are. That's wrong. You should be allowed to live freely, as the world intended you to be. A powerful Pokemon such as yourself has hopes and dreams. Besides, no trainer can truly harness your power and unique qualities, which you obtain.

Live life to the full, friend. That's what I say anyway.

[psychic_supremecy]

[Considering the circumstances of his birth, he's skeptical around humans, okay.]

Live? There are times when I wonder if that word could even truly apply to me. I was created as a weapon. I was not forged by a blacksmith, but by men able to rewrite the very essence of life itself.

The world did not intend for me to be at all. Since casting off my shackles, my creators have sought to put me in chains once again. As for dreams... I cannot say that I have any.

[hello senpai Alder. Where Alder is talking, Cheren will listen, because anime-verse (if he is) or not . But it's not like Cheren knows the difference right now, oops. Because Alder is Alder no matter what.]

There's always the PWT, as well. Even if Iris is technically the Champion now, I have no doubt in my mind that they would allow you to participate in the Champion Tournament. Hoenn has two competitors, after all.

[unova_champ]

Hello there, young Cheren! [He slapped the man on the back.]

The Pokemon World Tournament? Of course! I will venture there and challenge some young sprites, enjoying every minute of it. [He beamed.]

How have you been?

[stoutland]

[He kind of stumbles a bit when Alder slaps him on the back because oops he's not the most physically-strong person ever. Like, at all.]

I've been doing well enough. Now that Team Plasma's been taken care of, I have time to adapt to being a Gym Leader again. Getting used to using a completely different type consisting of only Normal-type Pokemon is harder than I thought it would be. It's a nice sort of challenge, though.

And you? How have you been lately?

Sorry, he slapped Emmet and he nearly went flying too XD

[unova_champ]

[Yes, Alder is quite a strong man and doesn't know his own strength at times.]

Normal-types are a tough challenge I agree but I'm sure you'll be able to pull through. Being a type than can learn any type of move is tricky but rewarding. [He nodded.]

I've trained with Normal-types myself. Bouffalant and others. Team Plasma were more trouble than they were worth. Their leader, N. He wanted to achieve harmony between trainer and Pokemon. Now, that is something I understand. I reckon he wasn't such a bad boy.

I am good. I am planning to take a vacation somewhere. Possibly Undella Town maybe. I know Cynthia often spends some time there on vacation too. [Hint, hint.]

Alder needs to hold himself back sometimes haha

[stoutland]

[Senpai believes in him He was doing his best anyway to prove himself as a competent new Gym Leader, but Alder believing in him helps a lot. So he will do his best to not disappoint him...!]

N hasn't been a problem, actually. He's been away from Unova until recently. [even if he did sort of take away his best friend in a way and that was a problem. But details.]

Don't you remember what was happening with the reformed Team Plasma and Kyurem? [Also a Very Big Deal. But he can ignore the Cynthia hint for now just to get more information on this. Because really, he didn't know Alder had a thing for Cynthia, even if she was arguably pretty good looking.]

[thecutetransfer]

Another one of those Pokemon trainers. You know N, right?

[unova_champ]

[Oh, a trainer?]

N? I've spoken with him but I wouldn't say we're close enough to be friends. I like the boy but he's always wandering off to do his own thing.

Who might you be?

[thecutetransfer]

[giggles] Yeah, that's kind of the impression I got from him too. At least he was nicer than that Blue guy.

I'm Shion Hibiki. I'm not a pokemon trainer, but I've been involved in something a bit similar.

[unova_champ]

Nice to meet you, Shion. You have? Like what?

[thecutetransfer]

Mamodo battles. Y'know, with demons from another world?

[cardsharks]

Hello Alder. Are you getting cabin fever again?

I also play Burgh. Maybe we could meet up? ;)

[unova_champ]

Hello there, Grimsley. I've missed your face too much. [He gave the man a slap on the back.]

Cabin fever? [He laughed.] Oh no, not this time. A sense of adventure has stirred within my soul once more.

I would certainly be up for that!

[cardsharks]

[He gets startled and stumbles forward a bit.] Y... yes, yours as well, Alder.

And where are you thinking of going this time?

Re: Woo ok. I can PM you if you like.

[unova_champ]

Going? Hm, I haven't thought about where yet. Wherever the wind takes me...or where my mun decides to put me. [He chuckled.]

So, Grimsley, have you won anything on the slots recently? I hear they have a good selection of game machines in the Celadon and Goldenrod game corners in Kanto and Johto.

Sorry for the weak as fuck voice on this guy, I'm just getting started

[dancingheart]

[Oh, you're here! 8D

...conveniently turning a blind eye to that last comment about the Nurse Joys; not really something he comments on buuuuut he's known you long enough that it doesn't really faze him anymore. Those nurse all kind of looked the same to him anyway.

Anyway, on to the important stuff.]

You could go to a game. My mundane wants to say that there's even more challenges waiting once you meet people from different worlds.

Re: It's ok <3

[unova_champ]

Marshal? Good to see you again. [He put a strong arm around the other man.]

A game? As in the PWT or battling others? Or something entirely different? Oh, the choices are killing me. [He laughed.]

[dancingheart]

More like going to a new region. [He's not sure if Alder knows the whole dynamics of DWRP, and he's never been in a game himself, but how hard can it be? Some of his mun's other muses are in games.] The PWT's exciting on its own, but my mundane tells me that there are some worlds with no Pokemon at all.

[unova_champ]

A new region, hm? That would be an adventure of sorts. I've never ventured out of Unova before. Worlds with no Pokemon? Wouldn't that be rather lonely though?

[battledancing]

You're never too old to go on an adventure as long as you're young at heart! [Says she who is still going to be exploring ruins and life-threatening distorted dimensions other dangerous places to her very last days.]

[unova_champ]

Cynthia! Oh, how I've missed you. [Yes, he has.]

You're right. I couldn't have put it better myself. Are you still up for dinner with me?
