meanwhile in Johto

[Which is wonderful and breathtaking and refreshing and such a nice change of pace since he no longer has Hilda to go on adventures with.

Sure, the nostalgia sets in and he feels a little lonely, but he has his Pokémon with him. He's not alone. And he has a few things in mind to do while he's here.



Standing in line for food is one of them. ...Well, right now it's ice cream. It's not all that different from Castelia, in that respect.

But hey, he can get food after ice cream.

...What in the world happened to his priorities?

Right. The lack of Team Rocket. That would do it.

He should check out the GTS while he's here...

Are any of the Sneasel recognizable to him? He should check.

He should visit Leaf while he's here. Maybe he can spend more time with her this time.

Hilbert would like it if he took the time to catch a few more Pokémon, wouldn't he? And not just for the Pokédex...



Yep, totally paying attention.]

[This Silver was standing in line, too, though his mind was drifting more idly. Another day, both calm and petty depending on what point of the conversation he had with Kotone. She eventually asked for ice cream (probably just to get him out of the house and not picking on her) and there was pretty much nothing better than the cute little cones they were selling special lately.

'How lucky! You got the last one, sir!' the clerk said, a smile on his face. Silver paid, shrugging apathetically. Mission accomplished.]

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[You know maybe he should-

You got the last one, sir!]

2/3

[tsuntrader]

[...You've gotta be kidding-]

Crap, just a little too late... [...Wow. Why does this seem familiar?]

[tsuntrader]

[...Why does that guy in front of him seem-






did he seriously just get beat to ice cream by other!self.]

[dokidoki4kotone]

[And as other!self turns around to leave--]

--Oh. You're back?

[tsuntrader]

[Well. Surely other!him will definitely enjoy that ice cream. No big deal.]

Why wouldn't I be?

[dokidoki4kotone]

Don't you live overseas?

[tsuntrader]

Johto's still my home station.

[...] And I've got Gyarados for that. [And Kingdra. And Feraligatr. He's pretty set for water travel, really.



Nevermind that he probably got a free ride on a plane. Shh.]

[dokidoki4kotone]

"Home station", what?

[Train puns, are you serious?]

[tsuntrader]

Yeah, what about it? [Serious as the third rail.]

[dokidoki4kotone]

Train puns? Really? That's so lame...

[tsuntrader]

[...Shrug.] Guess I'm just used to it.

[dokidoki4kotone]

Fine, whatever. I better get this ice cream to Kotone before it melts.

[tsuntrader]

...You're not gonna eat it yourself?

[dokidoki4kotone]

I'm not crazy about ice cream.

[tsuntrader]

Now who's the lame one? [But it's ice cream]

[dokidoki4kotone]

Geez! You're like a little kid. Train puns, ice cream, it's like I'm talking to a five-year-old!

[tsuntrader]

Looks like you've learned my secret.

[Seriously, though-] If a few words and a love for ice cream make me a kid, I don't wanna grow up.

[dokidoki4kotone]

I figured another me would at least be more like me. But this is just ridiculous.

[tsuntrader]

Like you? You mean trying too hard to act mature and being an errand boy?

[dokidoki4kotone]

I'm not trying too hard to do anything! And I'm not an errand boy, I'm doing my girlfriend a favor. There's a difference.

[tsuntrader]

Whatever you say. [You don't even like what you're standing in line for, you poser.]

[dokidoki4kotone]

[He's standing in line for Kotone, so actually...]

You wouldn't understand unless you were actually dating someone.

[Silver you are a huffy brat rn]

[tsuntrader]

I'm not sure I'd want to. [Silver you're not helping]
