Do the seasons always pass this quickly? The time flying by so quickly is just draining this old man's energy. I'm not sure if I can keep up.

[Says the man who's returned from yet another venturing into the routes and hasn't so much as broken a sweat.]

It's interesting to think that we've just reached the tenth month of the year and the season is still quite warm. I can't say I'm used to such heated weather, but I imagine it could be far worse. I do wonder how the winter will fare in such a town. Perhaps I'll actually take on that gym badge challenge. How difficult would one say those are?

[Not like it will be difficult, but he's wondering other opinions on it.]

Ah, another brief inquiry, if I may. Was Luke fon Fabre who demolished the lighthouse ever turned into the authorities, or did the young delinquent manage to escape? [That's his way of checking up on him.]

[That music... That music...

This video starts off with a scoff and an attempt to hide any form of excitement.]

It certainly took you long enough.

[Nothing else in Jade's post matters. Not even Luke. Sorry Luke.]

I suppose the difficulty of any gym comes down to type advantage, as well as the level of your team. What's your current location?

[hey old man]

[guess what]

[yep that sure is an empty pokeball whizzing right for the back of your head, since Luke didn't have any other projectiles at the time.]

What do you want?!

The duration of the seasons seems to be quite normal to me, three months each. Were seasons longer in the place you come from?

And on the badge challenge... With appropriate pokémon levels or taking care of the type advantages, it's quite the easy task.

I have to say, you don't look much like an old man, sir. [It's a small tease, but she means it.] The weather does seem warmer than it would be from home, but it's not the desert or a place so far north it always seems to be snowing, so I'm not all that picky.

[Though with the question about Luke, Cheria's expression turns into a sigh.] I would... think he has. The arrest warrants seem to have disappeared. Do you happen to know him from more than just that.. incident?

I'll admit, I'm not completely certain about what the winters will be like. As you said, it's rather warm for this season, but that doesn't necessarily rule out the possibility that it will be cold later. I can only hope that it isn't; I can only imagine that traveling on the routes in the cold is an absolute nightmare.

As for your other question... I've only fought one gym leader so far, admittedly, but he wasn't much of a challenge at all. I've been told that it's more entertaining if you put limits on yourself during the battles and that they do get harder, but from what I've seen they're not particularly inspiring.

["old man"? pfff oh please]

I've heard that Violet's gym grants flying Pokemon the skill to carry their trainers through the sky. It seems a challenge worth pursuing.

[he sounds kind of vaguely casually amused by nothing in particular]

I've been considering returning to Violet for it, at least. [also the ruins and juice]

You might freeze to death in winter if you ain't careful. Just saying.

[It comes off deadly (...hah) serious, but whether he actually means it or not is another thing entirely. One thing for sure, winter isn't quite as nice in Crow's experience.]

Gym battles ain't difficult if you keep type advantages in mind and have some high-level Pokémon on your team! I'd say they get easier the further you go, y'know?

[That, or someone here has learned how to grind hard on the way.

That last question, though? Makes the duelist frown a bit.]

... As for the lighthouse thing, that wasn't his fault.

Ugh, winter here is terrible, horrible, no good, very bad!

[She doesn't like winter.]
