[Luffy looks like he just won a million beri, with a smile stretched from ear to ear. His Chimchar, a perky little thing, is grinning along with him, perched on his shoulder and snacking on a berry.

Sure, it's snowy and cold, and Luffy's got to balance one hand on his hat to keep it there, but boy does he look happy.]

GUYS, LOOK!

[And he holds down the Gear to show the piece of metal pinned to his shirt.]

I GOT A GYM BADGE!

[Yeah.

That's right.

Luffy's been in Johto for eight months... and he just got his very first gym badge.]

...Congratulations.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Heeey, how many of these things do you have?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I have three. From the next two towns.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

WHOOOAAAA!! What do those look like?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[And he'll take out his badges case to show them off, because he's really proud of them]

The red one's the Hive badge, and the square one is the Plain Badge.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Those are so cool! How many more do you have to get before you have all of them?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Seven more. I'm going to go to the next town soon.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Whoaaaaaa.... how many is that? [What am math.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Just...this face. He just told you Luffy.
Roxas sighs and relents. He holds up seven fingers]

This many.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's how old I used to be!

[And stupid laughter.]

What gym leader is in the next town?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[A nod.]

Bugsy. He uses Bug pokemon. And then Whitney's in Goldenrod City, and she uses normal types.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Bugs? What kinda bugs?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Uh...Scyther...I think, and Heracross.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

What's a Heracross?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

...[Give him a minute. And then a drawn picture of a heracross. Not very well]

They're blue bugs with a horn.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

THEY'RE BEETLES?! I WANT ONE!

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

...I'm not sure where you can find them though.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Oh... I'll look around!
