usedgalacticpunt | Bout 010 (Video/Action): Badges upon badges. (backdated to Tue. 6/14)

[The video opens in medias res, with a casual conversation going on in the Olivine Pokémon Center. It's not quite loud enough to hear any of the words, though. After a second or two, Chie orients the video on herself.]

Oh, hey, has anybody else noticed how the gym leaders are a little... weird? Me and my friends all challenged Jasmine today, so we could get the Surf TM and cross Route... 42, I think it was? And Jasmine gave us all the same lines from beginning to end. She was all like, "Properly tempered steel won't be made rusty by things like this!" And "You are a better trainer than me, in both skill and kindness." Like she was reading off a script or something!

But anyway, we all made it! I got Ecruteak's badge too, when we stopped there on Friday, so I'm up to four! [Chie shows off two badges to the camera.]

For anybody who's following our quest to rescue Souji-kun, we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning on the way back to Ecruteak. And from there, it's through Mahogany and on to the Ice Path! Just hold on, Souji-kun, we won't make you wait too much longer!

I suppose this means that you don't yet have a girlfriend.

Ha...

I just haven't found that girl yet, that's all.

Oh, I don't know. Would that girl take to your 'all cute girls are, indeed, cute' mentality all too well?

I dunno. It would depend on the girl.

Optimism makes the greatest argument.

Nothing wrong with being optimistic, is there?

Have you ever tried being pessimistic?

Pass. That'll just make me depressing all the time.

Have you ever tried being pessimistic while being optimistic?

Sounds like an oxymoron.

And fun.

Speaking from personal experience?

Maybe! Don't tell me you've never had experiences like those before.

I keep an optimistic viewpoint on things! I generally try not to be pessimistic, even when I'm being optimistic.

Oh? So is it that you choose to be optimistic, or you just generally are?

Isn't it a bit of both?

Oh, I wouldn't know. Why don't you tell me?

Nothing out there says you can't be naturally optimistic while consciously trying to be.

That's quite the generalization. Is that the way you are?

It doesn't have to apply to everyone.

I guess so.

Is that so? Ah, what are your thoughts on watermelons?

-- that's a random change in the subject.

Is it? I hadn't noticed~

But really, I think it's fairly relevant. If you had half a watermelon, what would you do with it?
