One muse fresh out of the oven

[underground_boss]

Y'got Miss Mun interested in your canon. Dunno if that makes it worthwhile yet but it's somethin'.

[underground_boss]

Is that right? Well, that's one good thing done so far.

Yer mun new to Pokémon or just the particular games I'm from?

[pullsneedles]

The particular games you're from. She played the originals when they first came out and she's been kinda in and out since.

[underground_boss]

I reckon she might enjoy the games I'm from just fine, long as her nostalgia goggles ain't on too tight!

[pullsneedles]

She was skeptical at first, but then she started playin' FireRed and started likin' some of the newer Pokemon she learned about. She's prob'ly more willin' t'give 'em a chance now than she was b'fore.

[underground_boss]

My own mun's got a bit of a stubborn streak, too, though it ain't necessarily with her games. S'probably safe to say that sometimes change just takes a little gettin' used to, no matter what it is.

[pullsneedles]

Ain't that the truth?

[Oh ho ho ho preachin' to the friggin' choir on that.]

[unova_champ]

Hey there, Clay! Good to see you again. [Have a bear hug from Alder.]

[underground_boss]

_{[Oof! You hug tight, man.]}

Same to you, Alder. Everything been alright 'round Floccesy?

[unova_champ]

Yes, everything has been fine, Clay. How about you underground?

[underground_boss]

Busy as ever. 'Course, it's even busier above ground nowadays.

[unova_champ]

Of course. So, had any new trainers challenging your gym lately?

Sorry for the delay!

[underground_boss]

Lots! The most recent were two kids from Aspertia. Both of 'em got some mighty fine talent. I reckon they'll be at the Pokémon League in no time.

[staff_of_destruction]

Well, if it isn't the Drifveil Gym Leader.

[underground_boss]

What in tarnation are you doin' here? I thought Team Plasma done disbanded.

[staff_of_destruction]

You are wrong, cowboy.

[underground_boss]

If you even think of tryin' to start trouble again, I ain't gonna let ya survive long enough to regret it.

[staff_of_destruction]

You cannot stop Team Plasma's plans, gym leader. No one can.

[underground_boss]

We stopped y'all before, an' we'll do it again if we have to!

[dancingheart]

[Oh hey someone he recognizes.]

Your mun's voice should only improve the more she plays you!

My mundane also says that she's glad to see you around: most people from this canon only seem to get attached to a handful of characters.

[underground_boss]

_{[Well howdy thar, Marshal. o/]}

My own mun says to give ya her thanks. Though she seems to be a tad confused 'bout the other thing ya just said. You sayin' it's the players who get attached or that we Unovans tend to stick to our own?

[dancingheart]

[What's up, just alternating between taking challengers and making sure random people don't wander into Twist Mountain]

She means that most muns only seem to want to pick up just a few characters. You're the first Clay she's ever seen around here.

[underground_boss]

_{[Just business as usual here. Mines to run, a Gym to manage, and gettin' the Pokémon World Tournament out and about.]}

Is that right? Hrrrmph.

Well, truth be told, my mun's trying to limit herself this time 'round. Says muses can take a lotta steam outta ya if yer not careful.

[dancingheart]

I understand where she's coming from, but it's like everything else. Her voice won't get stronger unless she practices.

Any word of her putting you in a game?

Sorry for the delay, got hit with a horrible cold.

[underground_boss]

Ya got that right. Training's the way to go.

She's fixin' to throw me into Pokedressing when it reopens. It ain't no app game, but it's been her roleplayin' home o' sorts. Says she might also consider an app game in the future if any tickle her fancy.

[dancingheart]

My mun's been looking into Pokedressing too, but...she's impatient. And after she thought to put me in an app game, she's done nothing but put off finishing the actual app.

I'm starting to think she doesn't have the strongest convictions here.

Hello, Mister Clay.

[underground_boss]

Howdy, Burgh. Things been goin' well in Castelia?

[creative_lovebug]

Yes, thank you, Clay.

How are things in Driftveil?

[underground_boss]

Mighty swell, thanks. Been seein' some worthy challengers at the Gym and the Pokémon World Tournament's been pickin' up steam.
