[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.]

Birds, huh? What kind of Pokémon did you use against him?

[Video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Uhh... I used two monkeys, a butterfly, and a balloon!

Wow, there's a balloon Pokémon? I was under the impression that all Pokémon resembled animals...

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Nope, Airhead's a balloon! Hold on, I'll show you.

[And he digs into his pocket until he pulls out a pokeball and releases...

Another monkey, oops. Hello, Ambipom!]

Wait, that's not right...

[Dig dig... and a drifloon appears! He pulls it over and squishes its head at the Gear.]

This is my balloon!

[Teehee, Ambipom sure looks interesting... BUT AHHHH THAT DRIFLOON.]

Aww, that's the cutest balloon I've ever seen! Where'd you get it?!

He tried to kidnap me!

[Luffy's grinning like this is a good thing.]

[hahaidied.livejournal.com]

W-What? Why?

[IS IT A PEDOLOON?]

[Video]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I dunno. But I beat it up and caught it and I named it Airhead!

[THEY KIDNAP SMALL CHILDREN AND EAT THEM IN THEIR LAIR. Luffy just fell for it.]

[Video]

[hahaidied.livejournal.com]

Huh... Do you know if those things ever attempted to kidnap anyone else?

[LYNNE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS.]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Maybe?
