040 - Just one moment and I knew, you're my best friend... 'do anything for you...

[bestwishes]

[Morning, 1247 Williams Road...]

Zzzzzz... Uyaaahh... Pikachu... Pikachu? Hey! Pikachu!? Where are you?! ... Huh, a letter?

[Phone]

Darn it, what the heck is this? Where's Pikachu!? Where are my other Pokémon?! What's the deal with this letter sayin' I'm s'posed ta kill someone!?

Graaaaah!! What the heck am I supposed to do!?!!!???!!!??

[Day, 1645 Albright Lane]

[... Ash is hiding in the bushes watching the movements of a certain Charlie Gage-Racliffe pondering what kind of action he could take to obtain Pikachu.]

... I feel stupid. Like Team Rocket. What could I even do anyway...?

It's kind of fun and I've met nice people though. But yeah, I miss the way things are back home too... But still, this letter just seems like a mean joke.

[bestwishes]

The people are nice and all, but I've also met a lot of people on the road back home, and at least most of them know what a Pokémon Battle is too...

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

I guess you're right. It'd still be kinda sad to say good bye to some people here though, if it came to that.

[bestwishes]

Well, life itself is a series of meetings and partings, right? As long as remember the bond you shared, your friends are never really entirely gone...

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

But I've heard that once you leave, you don't remember.

[bestwishes]

Right, I guess that part would be kinda a pickle, huh? But who knows, maybe if memories can be lost, they can be found again at some point too...

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're right. If that's the case then... yeah, I want to get back home.

...but I can't just leave Bianca and N behind either.

[bestwishes]

Huh? Who's N?

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

Oh, I guess you wouldn't know him. He's a friend from back home too.

[bestwishes]

Ah, I see... Seems like a pretty weird name to have... "N"...

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

Hm, I guess so. I've never thought about it before.

[bestwishes]

It's like something from a shonen manga... Like Killer Pad or something...

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

It's not that bad.

[bestwishes]

How many people do you know with only one letter for a name?

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

That just means it's unique.

[bestwishes]

Well, I guess the Pokémon Ping Pong Champion's name was O after all...

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

...I wonder if they know each other.

[bestwishes]

I dunno... Maybe? As long as they don't know Hunter J... She was pretty nasty.

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

You seem to know a lot of people with one letter names after all.

[bestwishes]

Actually, they're the only ones...

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

That's still 3 people! Total. Except you don't know N, but still...

[bestwishes]

Shouldn't it only count as two if I don't know N?

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

We can combine our knowledge!

[bestwishes]

Ahaha, I guess so. ... I hope this whole letter business doesn't lead to anything nasty.

... The letters we received that is, not the alphabet names.

[pokeballer.livejournal.com]

If you combined all three letters you would get...

JON... [yeah he's still dwelling on the alphabet stuff.]

Oh, right, yeah! The letters in the mail. Those are kind of worrying, but no one would take them seriously, right?
