[Yes, she is still in Blackthorn. Yes, it's been gods know how long. But she's here with a purpose, and boy does she have a one-track mind. The video flickers on, showing the grand and majestic gates of the Blackthorn City gym. Fransizka looks pleased, standing before it with her crop in hand and at ready.]Good day, Johto. It has been some time

[...oh right he hit reply didn't he.]

Hmmm, is it possible to load new music onto the Gear, then? Or do you intend to have the actual orchesta follow you into the gym for maximum effect?

[you bet it is. if they ever meet, their arguments will be the thing of epics

she huffs, consideration]

The optimal situation would be to employ an orchestra of good standing, of course. But since my arrival here, I have found that I must compromise on some aspects. Therefore, a mere recording should be enough, so long as it properly illustrates my skill.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

You might have a hard time finding a full orchestra here, I think. Unless you can manage to track down enough people who happen to play the correct instruments.

I take it your skill level is significant, then.

[video]

[recrimination]

I will not hold my breath for such endeavors. Even if there were musicians, I doubt that they would be at skill level needed, let alone enough of them.

Quite. While I have yet to test my mettle against all the trainers of Johto, I will safely say that my pokemon are the most disciplined.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

Then how do you intend to get a recording?

Mm, really? You must have trained them a lot~

[video]

[recrimination]

The music in this world seems to be vaguely orchestral at times. Therefore, I theorize that there is some sort of a synthesizer available to create pieces such as that.

Of course. Their power is undeniable.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

A fair point. Though it wouldn't be nearly the same.

Do you have any other badges yet, then?

[video]

[recrimination]

However, I believe that it is an elegant compromise for the situation as it stands now.

Not as of yet. This will be my very first gym challenge.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

Very true.

In that case, you can't really say with certainty yet that your power is undeniable, can you?

[video]

[recrimination]

... Perhaps. However, it bears noting that I currently possess a ninety-nine percent win streak, which is undeniable.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

Ah, but the relevance of a win streak depends entirely on how strong your opponents were. If all of those battles were against, say, Magikarp, the percentage of wins wouldn't mean very much.

[video]

[recrimination]

Your point is very valid. Therefore, I will assure you that the opponents I faced were of proper standing to myself. There is no doubt in my mind that I have sought out the strongest in order to test my mettle.

The trainers along the way to Blackthorn, I admit, were a challenge in particular.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

Hmmm~

Blackthorn already? Isn't it more traditional to start with the Violet gym?

[video]

[recrimination]

That was my original itinerary, yes. However, circumstances changed, and I believe it is best to adapt as I see fit.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

Shouldn't the gym there be much harder, though? It is the last town on the map, yes?
