We wandered all over route 116 after that, coming to the conclusion that we should do something about this badge thing.

Kay' babe, so I was able to figure out, anybody that travels Pokemon has some kinda rival, it's like fate, luv.

But why did we have to get sapphire, of all damn people? I'm tired of dealing with her, her pokemon aren't even strong, and even if they were, she's always gonna lose to us right?

You really think that berry?

Oh hell yeah, maybe like, she's my pokemon rival, but like, ur rival in something else, bc she definitely isn't strong enough to be a Pokemon one for you, since you're so good at grinding.

I wanna grind with you too, I'm on demontime rn.

What? You're gonna kill a Pokemon grinding that hard sunny.

I didn't mean it that-

She was about to say something about grinding or whatever, but was cut off, some older kid was walking our way and bumped into us. Just an average looking guy I guess, kinda tall but nothing to me.

Yo, excuse me, wassup. You guys have directions to uh, lavaridge town?

Nope (berry speaking) soups not here man.

Is that a thing people say nowadays, idk man I'm way out the loop.

Where's the nearest town to you? Tell me frfr.

Frfr? What generation are you from man?

Oh sorry, did introduce myself, I'm ashley. from pokemon black and white, like 2010's n stuff.

Ohh, makes sense, sunny said, we're both from like, a generation or three before that.

You know how I got here? I keep walking around but this place is way different from unova, that place is played out in a straight line. This damned hoenn place is all convoluted.

Sunny learned passed them, yeah, we don't know either, c'mon luv, we have to get going.

Huh? I asked, but she had already grabbed my hand

I haven't even described this guy to the viewer yet! Why you gotta be so rude?

Eewew babe what the hell was that!?

What, woah did you just curse?

Nobody's business, you can't talk to other guys babe, I want you all to myself.

Bruh

Did you just "bruh" me.

Babe, I have gaydar, so yeah, he's a threat.

Okay, back to inner monologue, what the fuck?

Okay okay okay, I thought we were over all the weird stuff she thought was just normal lovey dovey behavior, how could she have gaydar? That makes no damn sense , I couldn't trust it.

It was fucking stupid to be honest, but, to be frank… this guy randomly popping up did throw me off. Mostly because, everybody that didn't act like an NPC, was an obvious plot point in the damn making.
