[ Judging by the slight bob of the camera and the occasional glimpse of a building, Talim is walking as she's recording. She's making her way from the gym to the Pokémon Center. Talim smiles, holding something up for the camera to see.

It's not there for long, though, and she gives a little laugh, tucking the badge away. ]

I made Kalana promise not to record my battle with Falkner, but as you can see it ended in my favor. Syi Salika did most of the work.

[ From offscreen somewhere, there's an amused: ]

Scyyyther!

[ Talim gives her Scyther a smile, before continuing. ]

It must be difficult, being a gym leader. Especially when people take up the Gym Challenge late in their stay, like I did. My team is already creeping their way to level ninety. I have to wonder sometimes if, when they act outraged at losing, it's just an act. Surely it has to be. I can't imagine them leading happy lives if they truly take each loss that badly.

[ Whitney especially, but she won't say as much. She does look thoughtful for a moment, though ]

I think, if this were truly my home- if I had been born and raised here- I might entertain the thought of becoming a gym leader.

But that's a silly thought, right?

Scyther? Scy.

Anyway, I'll be heading back to Goldenrod soon. If anybody would like to take the shortcut, you're welcome to join me.

Still, it's something for all of us to work towards.

'Course it is. It's our ticket home.

... How do you know that, Kaito?

Standard video game logic. Once you beat the final boss, the game is over, right?

I don't think I follow.

Has anyone ever told you that this world is based off of a video game they played at home?

I've never even heard the phrase "video game" before.

It's a type of entertainment at home. It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like-- a game you play on a television screen.

... How strange. And there are... games of Johto?

Not where I come from. But other people have played them.

Do they revolve around being imprisoned in this place?

No. You play as someone who has lived in the world his entire life.

That doesn't really help us if we're trying to leave.

I'm just operating with video game logic, here. There isn't much else to do in the game once you beat the Pokemon League, so what's supposed to happen to us when we beat the big, bad bosses of this place?

Do you know anybody with all eight badges?

No, not yet.

It might be worth it just to ask around.
