All right, so, I've been here for a couple weeks now and it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere, so I'd better quit ignoring everyone who isn't either my dog or a doomsday machine operator.

Couple of things: since I guess I'm keeping the dog, I should probably get her to stop freaking out about everything. I mean, everything. One of those stupid raccoon rabbits spent five minutes chasing her around in circles last week. And she couldn't get away from it so I had to pick her up and carry her away. I'm pretty sure I'm the only thing that doesn't completely terrify her. I don't know anything about dogs, though, so I dunno how to get her to settle down.

Also, I haven't seen a single vehicle since I got here. What gives? There's gotta be, like, a bus system or a subway or something somewhere, right? I haven't been sent to the past and we all know what a car is? Because it is way too cold for me to keep trudging around outside. I didn't exactly get the chance to pack some warm winter clothes before I left. Where's the nearest transportation center from Violet?

And how do you get the music to shut off? I've checked all the Pokégear's menus and tried messing with the radio, but nothing. Even if I try turning it off, it keeps playing those dumb beeping tunes! The same one's been playing again and again for days now and it's driving me crazy!

I think that's all for right now. Not that I understand most of what's going on here besides that, but I should ask about stuff I'm actually gonna get real answers to.

Actually, this one's a long shot, but if anyone knows a Light here, tell him Clover's looking for him. I know, I know, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right?

sorry, the only public transportation around here is a traintrack that runs from one city to a different city and nowhere else

the cops have cars and that's about it

you'll have to rough it until you get to Cherrygrove and then I recommend you stay in the Pokemon Center (or a hotel if you manage to scrape together some cash) until spring

trying to travel in winter is so many different kinds of not worth it

One whole train. Yippee.

But seriously, though, where's the rest of the stations?

I actually made it all the way to Violet! Just because Cherrygrove wasn't exactly ripe for hanging around, though. I wouldn't wish a week of hiking in that weather on anybody.

Is the Center really gonna let me just stick around? I had enough money to stay at the inn since I got here but that's not gonna last, and I guess I better invest in a heavier jacket... And something that's not a skirt.

yeah Cherrygrove isn't a town so much as a bunch of beach shacks all in one place and that's nowhere i wanna be in the middle of winter

but yeah, Centers are free to stay at, they're like emergency community centers

The problem is the fact that they're not like hotels, you'll wind up sleeping on little cots or in the chairs in the lobby and any food you can get there is like, soup kitchen stuff

that's why most people prefer staying in hotels if they have the money

you'll never need to sleep on the STREET though, if there's a Center nearby

Are they really cool with people just bumming around for a while? I guess I could keep paying for a hotel if I picked up one of the waitressing jobs here or something, but I better start saving up if I'm gonna be staying here, and it's a long ways til spring...

I guess having places like that available to everyone is an okay trade-off for the whole walking everywhere thing. Just okay, though. I'd still probably rather have buses.

well I mean if you pitch a TENT in there and don't leave for months they'll probably get a little miffed, yeah

but they're not gonna boot anybody who has nowhere else to go

Most people get sick of trying to sleep in those uncomfortable chairs after awhile and suddenly find themselves willing to cough up enough for a hotel room

but yeah

honestly you could even work IN the pokemon center

I did that when I got to Cherrygrove, it wasn't bad. and they DEFINITELY wouldnt kick you out if you were an employee

Yeah? I guess I'll see if they're hiring. I was gonna look into the cafés here since I've got the experience but it's enough experience that I'd be pretty happy to never see another espresso machine in my life.

That's really cool, though. It's nice to always have a fallback.

Blechhhhh I've already done my time in food service

NEVER AGAIN IF I CAN HELP IT

I get most of my money by battling these days

Yeah? And that's enough to get by? Having my weird dog fight other weird animals seems like a way better career choice than more food service, since I guess weird animals fighting each other is how things work around here.

well it's riskier when you're just starting out and your Pokemon aren't that strong yet

that's why it's good to find a job at first, that way you aren't going hungry if you have bad luck battling that day or run into somebody super strong on the road

I've been here a long time so I'm a lot tougher than your average trainers who hang out on the road looking for fights, which makes it a pretty reliable source of money for me
