It took you a while to get back to me, you know! I've been working in the Goldenrod Department Store this whole time because I got bored waiting for you to contact me!
[ he might sound a little peeved. He's wanted to see Nanami especially, this whole time. ]
I'll bring him, I guess? But ehh, is it really important--?
[ SUDDEN THOUGHT.... ]
...Does it have to do with Nanami? Did something happen to her?!
[He'll make a video response since he's realized he really hasn't done that with Shou -- also because he's too lazy to click the other options right now.
There's a small bruise on his cheek, but don't mind that really.]
It is. Not only that, but a few other things as well.
Nothing bad has happened to her. [Well, nothing physically bad anyway. Stealing must have been a bad experience mentally... but they'd talk about that on Sunday.
Ren sighed. This meeting seemed to troublesome already, but it was also necessary that they would do it. He didn't want Haruka to be in that place any longer.
Speaking of troublesome... Ren shrugged. He'd joke "You should see Hijirikawa's face" but the bruises aren't really and he isn't sure which one got it worse.]
Hijirikawa and I have had some minor problems lately... nothing to be worried about. It's normal for us anyway. [Though at home it wasn't really this violent.]
I hope you're all still doing well. I'd inquire as to how far you've gotten, but I don't quite know if it's safe over my connection. Is it still a suitable distance from here?
And it also seems you may be able to meet with Jinguji earlier than originally assumed.
[There's just a soft cough on his end.] It's alright. I've been... rather uncommunicative myself. But regarding Jinguji, he's... well, for lack of a better phrase, I don't think he'll be returning to Goldenrod any soon. He's public enemy number one at the moment.
Once we're reunited, would you be interested in training with me? Pokémon battling is important and I want to share what I know with the rest of the traveling group.
So it's a good chance to train and ask any questions you might still have.

There's something we need to discuss.
- Ren
ps. Bring Shinomiya with you.

It is. Not only that, but a few other things as well.
So it's important that you're both there.

Ren, I swear, if you let anything bad happen to her--!
[ his fist shakes at his side as he clenches it, but after a few tense moments of silence he relaxes just slightly -- ]
...We'll both be there. You'd better hope Natsuki doesn't drop his glasses, either, you know.
[ because hello, if Satsuki knew something happened to Haruka... well, Ren would probably have much larger bruises. ]
-- Speaking of which. Who did that to you?
[ His eyes narrow. Of course he'll mind that. ]

I'll explain at a better time.
audio
If you're going to leave me a message like this and not tell me what's going on --
You can bet I'll find out what's up later, got it?!
[ JINGUJI.... ]
Feb 28 | audio
And it also seems you may be able to meet with Jinguji earlier than originally assumed.
audio
[ of course, he means Cerulean City, not Pallet Town, but yes. ]
-- And what's up with Jinguji, anyway?! He left me some suspicious sounding voicemail a while ago and said to talk to you! --
[ oh, wait, they are talking now, right? -- ]
...Haa, well, I should have gotten in touch earlier, but you know how crazy it can be with Natsuki around?
[ Right?? He was probably distracted by Natsuki
trying to make him wear a dress againor Natsuki's glasses coming offor something. ]audio
[There's just a soft cough on his end.] It's alright. I've been... rather uncommunicative myself. But regarding Jinguji, he's... well, for lack of a better phrase, I don't think he'll be returning to Goldenrod any soon. He's public enemy number one at the moment.
audio
What's with that? How does that guy get himself into things like that?! Dammit!
Is there anything we can do--? Anywhere we can meet up with him?!

There's still a lot you want to explore, right?
audio
Ah, as for exploring... that's not important right now, idiot!! Where are you??
audio
That's not important.

I'm sure it is to Nanami and Natsuki, too!

i wish we'd be good friends.
it feels odd not being friends with people from your place.
or are we.
[You see life differently when you're drunk, they say.]
audio
You jerk, we are friends! Maybe we're not super close but it doesn't mean we're not friends, g-got it?!

Don't doubt me!!

Not there, obviously.

[ he can't pass up an opportunity to become stronger, after all. ]
I've been raising mine some, but since we haven't been moving around much before this, they haven't had much chance to battle stronger ones...

How many Pokémon do you have now?
