048 - GAN GAN, go forward and slice through the wind!

[A groggy Ash Ketchum wakes up this morning and may be heard in the background over the phone line...]

Aah... Time to leave... Nimbasa... so we can go to... Nimbasa. Hey, Iris, Cilan... It's time to go. ... Guys? Iris? Cilan? ... Pikachu?

Pikapi!

Oh, cool. Where are...? Oh yeah.

[And he'll actually grab the receiver up now so he can speak into it.]

Oh hey, I'm back. From Don Battle. ... Did I miss anything?

[KEEP CALM AND-] I don't think you really missed anything, Ash.

[bestwishes]

Well that's good. ... I think? Then again, I guess considering what happens here missing it wouldn't be a bad idea...

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

W- Well, no need to worry? [... yes, that came out more awkward than she wanted it to]

[bestwishes]

... Is somethin' up?

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Huh? [She then realizes that she messed up. Oops.] N-No, nothing's up, of course not-- I mean, other than the sky, but I know that's not what you meant -- so no, I'm fine, no need to worry, really, don't worry about me!

[bestwishes]

You sure? You seem kinda... jittery.

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

[...that's because that is exactly what she is right now] I told you, I'm fine!

[bestwishes]

[Have a sceptical look. ... Which doesn't really work on a telephone, but still.]

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

[Silence obviously means... uh. Awkward...] Ash? Are you still there?

[bestwishes]

Yeah, I'm here.

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

... Oh, um, so, what happened while you were gone?

[bestwishes]

Uh... I got my third Gym Badge, Team Rocket got back to their old uniform and tricks, I caught a few new Pokémon, saved the world, starred in a movie and entered the Don Battle tournament. I lost in the final round.

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

They had a new uniform? [Dawn. Dawn did not know this.]

And you saved the world again?!

[bestwishes]

... Oh, I didn't mention the black ones? And uh... yeah. Long story full of truth and ideals and stuff...

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. [ASH IS FOREVER THE CHOSEN ONE........]

[bestwishes]

Yeah. It's kinda weird, 'cause they weren't in the black ones all that long...

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

[PLOTHOLES ANYONE??] I guess that is weird.

[bestwishes]

Yeah...

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

[...dot dot dot]

[bestwishes]

It was a pretty cool movie we were in, I got to play the hero! And there was a Zorua!

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Huh, is that so? [Kind of disappointed she didn't get to see it, but whatever.]

[bestwishes]

Yeah. Zorua is a pretty cool Pokémon, huh?

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

... Yeah.

[bestwishes]

... [Derp?]

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

You don't mind if ... I come over, do you?
