[Pokemon (Trainer) virus]

[x_battousai]

I must admit that it is nice traveling as a simple Pokemon Trainer instead of as Gym Leader. I have been caught up in fewer battles, for one.

I am still having no luck finding the Trainer who loaned me her handkerchief. Although, I wonder if she may have been the Gym Leader here. Should I reveal who I am, in that case, and compare notes?

Back to the battlefield? Sounds a little less hectic than your last non-odd-jojbs work, from the sounds of it at least... Pokemon some kinda sword style or somethin'?

[x_battousai]

Oro? Sword style?

[material_guy]

Yeah. You know. Since you. You know. For a living.

[That explains everything.]

[x_battousai]

Are you sure that you have the right person?

[material_guy]

Pretty sure. You're the guy who tries to help people go straight 'n get work after some kinda war, right? Shit, maybe I'm not keepin' as good of tabs on this place like I used to...

[x_battousai]

This sounds almost familiar...

[material_guy]

You remember me at all?

[x_battousai]

I do remember speaking with you, though not about the subject.

[material_guy]

Gaaah, this seems like a headache... Let's just focus on what you do now. So, what's Pokemon?

[x_battousai]

They are creatures with various powers and attacks. Trainers use them in battle competitions.

What is a Pokemon trainer?

...What is a Pokemon?

[x_battousai]

You are the second person now. I was sure I had mentioned them before...

[makewayforroze]

I'm sorry, if you have, I don't remember.

[x_battousai]

That is strange. I could have sworn I had, but my journal shows no reference...

[makewayforroze]

I've had to learn a lot of strange words to know about other worlds but I can't remember that one.

Are you sure you feel well?

[x_battousai]

I am not sure now. Is it possible this is a virus?

[makewayforroze]

[She nods.] I've seen stranger ones. You mentioned I'm the second person so instead of my memory, it may be yours that's confused.

[x_battousai]

I think that may be the case. But perhaps it is a good thing that I realize this now instead of getting myself into trouble.

[makewayforroze]

It does sound a bit dangerous, if there's fighting involved. Do you still have to fight at all, if you're not a Leader?

[x_battousai]

As I remember, only in competition, to test the skills of visiting trainers.

[makewayforroze]

Then it's not something you have to do often?

[x_battousai]

I do not think so, but with this virus, I am not sure of everything now.

[makewayforroze]

It doesn't last very long, so your real memories should be back soon.

[x_battousai]

Thank you for your help.
