....Kinda elbowed his way into candidate list for Wake.

[iamthebest]

Elbowed, nothing! I have as natural a talent for attracting fans as I do for battling Pokemon, it's just surprising you didn't make this journal for me sooner.

Long as everything back home will be okay, I'm sure Gramps and the rest of my adoring public won't mind if I take a little break from winning battle after battle for a while. I know I make it look easy, but it's actually a lot of work being the best, you know. And I DO get to have my Pokemon, right?

[Uh, Gary, you get them back eventually but not right off the ba - ]

Great. So what's the hold up? A writer having trouble with the writing part of the application? Pathetic! I bet if you let me handle it I'd do it even better than you could!

Yeah, applications don't open for a while and you're gonna be busy with that NaNo-whatever. But if you really wanna play me then you might wanna make up your mind soon, because I don't hang out with losers. And anyone who's anyone knows that indecisive is just another nice word for loser.


[Canon point is before he lost in the Indigo League and thus got knocked down a few pegs. Meaning he is going to be a major dick and I am sorry for him in advance. :IIII ]

Oh lord again I apologize for him :|

Well if it isn't Ashy-boy. Late to the party as usual, but at least you actually showed up!

And what's with the get-up, anyway? Got tired of being recognized in public as a loser?

[shallturnto]

Gary, I've been here for months. You're the one who's late.

And I outgrew my old clothes.

[iamthebest]

[Shrug.]

That's because I'm busy training and getting stronger. Not sure what you've been doing with your time. Besides, this lame mundane's the one who finally decided to let me have a say.

[...Now that he thought about it, Ash did look a little taller than he remembered.]

Hm. So, you're finally hitting a growth spurt. Guess our little Ashy-boy had to start growing up sometime.

[Someone hasn't told this one about people being older/younger here because she's too busy hating her life.]

[shallturnto]

Goin' through the Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, the Battle Frontier, Sinnoh, and my mun dragged me here when I was partway through Unova.

[iamthebest]

[...Well congratulations, Ash, now Gary looks confused.]

That's impossible! You and I just started competing at the Indigo Plateau.

[shallturnto]

People can from from different times here Gary.

[iamthebest]

Hm...

[He considers it. Ash's information is usually pretty misleading if not outright WRONG, but he can't really deny the fact that Ash looks taller, older, so it's not like he can prove that Ash is faking all this...]

I guess maybe it's not TOO weird, although of course my lamebrain mun forgot to mention that part.

[>8( probably because you're a jerk, Gary.]

So, what'd you make of yourself in the other regions, Ashy-boy? Or do you not wanna say, 'cause you're too embarrassed?

[shallturnto]

Haven't won a conference yet, but I'm workin' on it. I did do better against the guy who actually won the Lily of the Valley conference than anyone including the Sinnoh Gym Leaders did, so I'd say that's a pretty good work right there.

[iamthebest]

Hm.

[Gary's a bit torn for a response here - like it or not, he's admitted to himself that for all his smack-talk Ash isn't a bad Pokemon trainer. But still. It's Ash.]

So where am I in all this? Don't tell me I just settle for winning at the Indigo Plateau!

[shallturnto]

You got knocked out in the Top 32. And then the Top 16 at the Silver Conference. And then you went into Pokemon research and started working for Professor Rowan.

[iamthebest]

Research?

Nothing against Gramps' job, but I wouldn't just give up on becoming the world's greatest Pokemon master! No way!

[shallturnto]

Well ya did. I dunno what exactly made ya do it, but ya did.
