Alright, so this whole 'roughing it in the woods for days at a time' thing? Not awful, but seriously not for me.

[She's going to keep doing it anyway though. Just... let her complain.]

But I'll deal. Kind of have to, from what I gather. At the very least, all these battles really keep a girl occupied on the road. At least the way to Violet City wasn't as rough once more of my team hatched. I'm probably--

[A quiet whimpering sound starts up, and Envy heaves a sigh and rolls her eyes a little, holding up a finger in a 'just a sec' motion before leaning to one side giving a flash of more grass and trees and for a moment, fur.]

Come on, you spoiled thing- up you get.

[She reappears with a Cubchoo in her lap, a hand gently ruffling the fur behind one ear.]

-like I was saying, I'll probably be trying for my first badge tomorrow. In the meantime, if there's anyone near Violet City who wants to battle, well be on Route 31 'til sundown.


( Action | Route 31 )

This place can't be remotely serious.

[Except it seems that it totally is, and Envy doesn't like it one bit. She'd been busy at home, dammit.]

Okay look, this whole setup is cute and everything- but honestly? I'm a little insulted. You'd think if the universe was going to kidnap me, it'd be to someplace a little more high-budget than this.

[Or something cool and indie, at the very least.]

So I guess my first question is- does anyone know the fastest route back to Canada? Because I've got this ten city tour that kind of needs its headlining act, and I would so hate to disappoint the people who paid for those shows. After that, I guess my second question is- does anyone know where I can get some decent clothes? The stuff in this bag is... cute, but it's not exactly my style, you know, and frankly-

[She leans down, handing her Pokégear to someone who backs up with the wave of her hand, showing off her outfit.]

These boots? Seriously not made for walking. So if you can help out, I'd appreciate it.

[And with a slight flip of her hair, she bends again to turn the Pokégear off.]
