Day 20 - [Video] | [Action] for Blackthorn

[babel_hacker]

[There's no footage of the gym leader battle this time. Just Atsuro holding up the Rising Badge to the camera in front of the gym. As always, the camera crew is his Clefairy, who is riding on his Porygon. He don't really have the heart to break up such a good duo for all they do.]

Just got the Rising Badge! Only got one last badge to go before I hit all eight of them! [Wait, so this is his seventh badge?] I'll be going back to Goldenrod for the holidays before taking on Azalea's gym leader.

[A thoughtful pause.]

...Man, it's been eight months since I arrived here in Johto. A lot of things happened in that time. [A sigh, which is visible in the cold air.] At the rate I'm going, I'd have all eight badges before my first year here is done, even if I take it easy.

So, everyone... [He smile a little, but it seem too casual for his next question.] Do you feel like you accomplished a lot here?

(ooc: Mod approved badge get!)

No, if I had a choice, I would keep them. I would work extra hard to keep the experiences that have made me grow, too.

Our experiences are a part of us, so not having them wouldn't be the same. We'd be...a little different. We're still us, but without the things Johto put us through.

That's true. Losing them would be losing what's made us who we are now, and taking away those changes. I know that I have changed and I would regret having to go back to who I was before I got here.

Yeah.

Eight months is a long time and I know I've grown a lot since I came. I do think I'm better than before, personally, and stand by that. So I hope we keep our experiences.

[She nods.]

I've been here for a year and a half, and I can't even think about what it would be like if I lost everything I gained.

[babel_hacker]

It'd be...I dunno. It's a little hard to imagine.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

It really is, isn't it?

[video]

[babel_hacker]

Yeah...

Thanks for answering my question.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

No need to thank me. It was a very interesting question.

[babel_hacker]

After being here for that long...I just started thinking about it, y'know?

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Of course. It's natural to start thinking about things like that after being somewhere for a long time.
