Well, I made it to Violet. I actually made it here a couple of days ago, but when I showed up...well, Madoka's gone home.

[He's dealing with it okay, but he's obviously hit by it.]

Anyway, I'm getting prepped to take on the Gym here. I've gotten some tips from a buddy of mine, but if anybody's got anymore, I'd appreciate it.

I've never done this before, a big challenge kind of thing. I've got a Marowak, a Buneary, a Sylveon and a Growlithe, all at least level 30 that I'm thinking of using as my main team. And then I got a Chikorita and a Litleo that are a little under level 30, if I need'em. That sound good?

I'm gonna be here a while, so if anybody's in town and wants to hang out, lemme know.

Come on, dames love a guy that's got a creative talent! Poems and music make'em swoon!

Look at Sinatra!

Hah! It's not like I've got even a bit of Sinatra's confidence and charm, though....

Hey. Wanna know a secret?

Sinatra, Bogart, Grant, all those guys...it's all an act. Act like you got confidence, you got it!

Trust me. Give'em a smile, make a few jokes, you're golden.

That's a lot easier said than done....

Trick is to practice in private.

You think Sinatra never spent hours in front of the mirror, going over his lines and practicing how to smile?

I do, I just...

I can never apply it to real life.

You gotta pretend like you're in front of the mirror. Like nobody else is there.

That's what I do on stage.

...You're a performer?

[anexcitableboy]

Yeah, back home. I don't really do it here, I got a lot of opportunities now I didn't used to.

But till here, I performed...geeze, most of my life. I think I was thirteen or fourteen the first time my ma got me officially on stage. And you know something? I couldn't stop puking right up till she shoved me out from behind the curtain. I was terrified.

But I just pretended like the audience wasn't there, it was just me in my room. And I did fine.

I see....[He's still pretty unsure.]

You can always practice on a friend!
