arrogantalloy | Route 29: 001

Right, so after studying up on the pokedex, I’m going to need to know the best ways to routes 10 and 11 in Kanto as well as 37 Johto. I’m looking for some of these little guys in particular, and that’s where the Pokedex says they are.

Don’t think it’s going to be easy, because it never really is. But they’re going to come in more than a little handy while I have to re-establish myself. Not something really new, though the location has changed quite a bit.

But then again, some guy in a lab coat pointed out to me the more I use the bird, the more useful it'll be. And if making it strong while I get these other ones I'll need, well that's going to work in both our favours.

Also, these need names, right? Because if I have to call it what it's screeching, well, that's just going to really get on my nerves to be honest.

This place is just so weird, yet compelling.

From:

itsjustdust

I don't doubt you'll get used to it.

From:

arrogantalloy

Well, that's one thing we can always be sure of.

From:

itsjustdust

Not so. Some people are very stubborn.

From:

arrogantalloy

I'm one of them. But no sense being stubborn about some things when I can't change them.

From:

itsjustdust

See, that's a flexibility some people don't have You'll know them when you spot them.

From:

arrogantalloy

I've met enough of them in my world to know how to spot them too. But then, it's surprisingly common in my line of work.

Too many thinking that learning is finite?

From:

arrogantalloy

Probably one of those human condition things. That and a lot of people think learning is hard.

From:

itsjustdust

It can be hard to learn, but the difficulty shouldn't be in actually, you know, wanting to.

From:

arrogantalloy

You'd be surprised, most people take comfort in not knowing.

From:

itsjustdust

...But that's stupid.

From:

arrogantalloy

You don't know anyone like that?

From:

itsjustdust

[He was quiet for a moment]

I might but... not knowing things is dangerous, so why would you avoid it?

From:

arrogantalloy

In your world maybe. My world, not so much, for the most part everyone has it nice, safe and easy.

From:

itsjustdust

It might be like that for civilians... but I don't really know many.

From:

arrogantalloy

I know about as many civilians as I do military. Believe me, when life is easy, people like as much to be easy as possible.

From:

itsjustdust

Who even wants to live like that? You lose the value of things.

From:

arrogantalloy

You know, if I knew. I'd answer that, but hey, I don't.

From:

itsjustdust

Hey, you're the one that knows em, I wasn't sure if they ever explained you know?

From:

arrogantalloy

'Know' is a very subjective word. I mean, I know the bose-einstein bridge exists, but I'm not really riding a chariot over it now. I sign their books and body parts, and I give speeches to them... And have slept with more than just a few of them. But I don't know them well enough to understand their motivations behind anything.

From:

itsjustdust

[There was a moment of silence as he thought that over]

So pretty much it's a case of 'all these people expecting me to be fabulous, so I am, and they're happy'?
