[ time for another episode of Bull in the Big City! he's on horseback today (Rapidashback, to be specific), and is headed in the general direction of the department store! but on his way, a query for the pokegear: ]Citizens of Johto, hi, or, uhh, good morning, I guess it is... I was wondering a thing and I was hoping that maybe there would be

The gym leaders are pretty tough in general. I wouldn't want to go up against 'em under-leveled. [he pauses.] m'not sure how strong they are, but I've heard things from my friends. The gym leader here is kind of a cry baby when she loses though, and I think she fights with normal types? Not sure what type has the advantage there... [he taps his chin thoughtfully.] But as far as strengthening up your pokémon you can have them battle against the wild.

Oh, yes, I've been trying to prepare my monsters for more formidable duels by practicing on less, uhh, challenging opponents, but, I guess maybe not as much as I potentially could have been, regarding the training, since, it just didn't feel like it was the right thing to do to be making them do all the battling all the time.

[conflictedrebel]

Nah, man. You wanna put your pokémon up against the stronger, more challenging ones. That's how they get stronger. Things'll just go slow if you keep giving them easy wins. [he pauses.] And yeah, it might not feel right, but it's in their nature? If that makes sense.

[video]

[bullieve]

It does. Uhh, make sense, I mean, since, I know that the Pokemon monsters are generally for developing in such a way. But I would rather that they just have fun than struggle, I guess, and winning more easily is a more fun method of doing than struggling...

Arah?

[ Hitomi does indeed witness him and his difficulty. After a moment she walks over and examines the situation. ]

Excuse me... are you okay, sir?

[ pauses in mid-fuss with one of his bags! the one that inexplicably has the Diglett in it, although as soon as the newcomer approaches it disappears. ]

Oh, yes, uhh, I'm fine, mostly, I guess. I think.

Action ☆

[balancetipping]

I see... I apologize for troubling you, then. [ A pause from Hitomi. ] Have you just finished shopping?

Action ☆

[bullieve]

[ nods! and hefts his bags up with a little difficulty, but he manages - not because they're heavy, but just... the angle he has to pull from. ]

Oh, yes, just a short time ago! I was obtaining supplies for caring for my monsters, mostly, and also some other things that I could maybe use as well. [ pause... ] Uhh, it's sort of easy to get carried away at the big place for shopping, around here.

Gym leader not too strong. Stitch won easy, but use fighting, woosh-wish [He pantomimes kicks and punches]

[video]

[bullieve]

Fighting, uhh, you mean the type of Pokemon that's fighting-type, right? What if I don't have one of that kind?

[video]

[usedsuperpower]

Ih, if not.. fight can be hard. Need strong level Pokémon.

[video]

[bullieve]

Just, uhh, higher than the ones that the Gym leader has, yes, I guess by a wider margin than just a small one, maybe...

[ She still doesn't know much about her types, so she probably won't be very helpful. But the least she can do is be encouraging, right? ]

I'm sorry, I don't really know much about gyms... But I'm sure that as long as you train very hard, you can beat it!

[bullieve]

[ always a good contribution, yes. 8) ]

Oh, well, that's okay if you don't know, because I also don't know, so the thing is that we're not knowing together, which makes it not so bad, I guess. But, uhh, yes, thinking positively is a thing that I was told was something I should do, so, I'm trying to adopt that mindset like the thing you just said.

video!

[hibiscushield]

Aha, that also means we can learn together too, right?

[ Yay! Have a nod of reassurance. ] As long as you don't give up. I-If you believe in yourself, your Pokemon will, too!

video!

[bullieve]

Yes, that's probably also true, the learning mutually thing. I've received a great amount of information from other individuals that, uhh, I could probably relay in my own way, and, uhh, eventually with experience to also go along with that, if I do try to actually battle the leader of the Gym, after all...
