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.]

[There's the most subtle sound of Jade clearing his breath before he holds the gear up to eye level, staring quite evenly into it.]

Johto, was it? That's the name of this region, according to the map. I had a few inquiries, if you would be so kind as to humor me with a few answers. Judging by the land and the creatures encountered thus far, I'm fairly certain this is not on a land mass known as 'Auldrant', is it? On the off chance that it is, can anyone direct me towards Malkuth, more notably Grand Chokmah or Keterburg? If not, could anyone, if possible at all, explain how I may have come in contact with a hyperresonance that could have summoned me here?

[But then he pauses. Too many discrepancies concern him into thinking that perhaps the people of this land may not understand what he's speaking of. So he decides to dumb it down a bit and focus on one of the few necessities.]

If all of that strikes you as gibberish, then could anyone please tell me where I may find lodgings for the night?

*Solosis → Duosion → Reuniclus - level 85
starter: he fins his pokémon utterly fascinating due to the fact that it seems like replicating cells. He tends to use him more than most, for scientific reasons.

Yanma - level 60
experiment #2 : Jade has prevented his Yanma from learning any attacks not set towards a normal type. He wishes to see how skilled it will last in battle without any.

Litwick - level 35
Christmas present from Dist. The dual ghost-fire type intrigues him, so he tends to bring him out more for scientific research than battling.
