[[It's been an exciting day for one Emmy Altava here in Goldenrod!

Not only did she wake up to find her scooter parked neatly outside her apartment building, but it's full of fuel and working perfectly! So of course, the first thing she does (after breakfast, obviously!) is leap on top of it and start riding it around town in a manner that....might not be considered following the road rules. But she has a license! It's a license from back home but it's....still a license, right?

Oh well!

After a while, she started to feel bad that her Pokemon were being left out. It wasn't fair that they should have to sit in their Pokeballs while she had fun all over the city!

But then Emmy had a brainwave.

So if you happen to be in the streets of Goldenrod, you might see....well.

A Machamp riding a scooter.

This was a fantastic idea, Machi! Go a little faster, I want to take more shots!

[[Completely oblivious to the fact that she could fall and crack her skull open, Emmy is having a marvelous time, while Machi is kind of holding on to her trainer and the scooter for dear life. Having four arms is great, sometimes.

Just wave the Emmymobile down if you want to speak to her; just expect a picture or two!]]

[All right, Clive's just going to sit himself up now and lean back against the Regigigas's... head thing?]

I work at the department store as well as the Breeding Center.

[Well, he actually quit the department store a while back to take on that undercover police assistant job for Team Rocket, but he can't tell her that obviously... And he still works the same hours that he did at the department store anyway.]

Well no wonder you're sleep-deprived! Having two jobs would do that to anyone!

[[Honestly!!]]

You certainly work very hard.

Of course I do! The professor's number one apprentice should always be a hard worker!

[But on a more serious note--]

I am planning on travelling around soon, though, so I'd like to have a stable supply of money before I leave. That way I can focus less on working and more on enjoying what wonderful things Johto and Kanto have to offer.

They should be, but what about his number two assistant~?

[[Regardless, she seems pleased!]]

I think that's a very smart thing for you to do, Luke. I need to travel to Blackthorn City eventually to get the final badge here in Johto, but I hate leaving Goldenrod. It's so lovely!

She should work just as hard, of course!

[Oh, wait, what is this]

You have seven badges already? Wow... Even further proof that I've been trapped in this city for far too long.

[Considering Clive arrived here before Emmy did and he only has one badge... orz]

I've got some wonderful friends who have encouraged me to explore. You should too, Luke! Go out and see Johto!

[[Let her just gaze happily out over Goldenrod, okay.]]

I....I miss home, but I've met some incredible people here, not to mention the Pokemon! I...well, I might be hesitating to get that last badge a little.

I don't know if I want to leave yet.

Oh, I will! And I won't be going alone, either.

[Hooray for travel buddies!]

You haven't gotten the Kanto badges yet, have you?

I haven't! I've only been to Kanto once, to visit De-

[[Her voice catches in her throat instinctively; oh no! What if Luke is upset with her for seeing Descole?]]

Ahem, sorry; to visit a friend of mine! Other than that I haven't seen any of it.

[[Subject change!]]

Do you have any of them?

[Oh, now he's extremely curious. But he'll at least answer her question before he badgers her about that.]

No. I only have one badge, and it's from this city's Gym.

[Surprise surprise. But now back to the important stuff!!]

Who's this friend you were visiting?

Well, you've got to expand your horizons!

[[No could you not press her on this, she's made of wharrgarbl enough as it is sob]]

Just a friend I made on my travels, nothing more!!

[Nope, he's pressing!]

Is that so? What's their name? How did you meet them?

[[ARGH]]

I...well, I met him here in Goldenrod City, he's quite a traveller...

[[a name a name a name um]]

His name is...John!

[Oh Emmy, it's fun making you squirm... Let's try to make you squirm more!]

You seem awfully shy about talking about him. You two aren't seeing each other, are you?

We certainly are not!

[[....wow, that

was a bit more vehement than she intended, um]]

We're just...friends, I don't...

[[.....Clive why are you doing this to her

is it because she keeps calling you Luke and trying to keep you safe

is that it]]

[yes because Emmy has totally been there during all the times Clive nearly got himself killed

and that one time back in December when he actually did die

A++++ job, Emmy]

Whatever you say, Emmy...

[He laughs and places a hand on her shoulder.]

For the record, I think any man who has the chance to date a wonderful woman like you is the luckiest man in the world.

[[well she'll try and do better from now on, okay!!!!!!]]

Oh for goodness sakes, Luke, it really is nothing-

[[.....w-wait what]]

I...Luke, don't be silly....

[[...wow, you've. actually made her blush, Clive why are you doing this

...

that was just

really sweet of you to say, okay.....]]

[well it's not like Clive's going to be sticking around for too much longer anyway!!!!!]

I assure you I'm being quite serious.

[Wow, he's actually surprised it only took that one comment to completely change her mood... Girl, you are way too easy to toy with.]

[[GOOD, HE ISN'T WANTED HERE!!!!!!!]]

Clearly you've been taking lessons from the Professor on how to be a gentleman, then!

[[...Clive honey this was the girl who completely turned her life around when a certain man called Layton called her a lady

it's how she rolls]]

[GOOD, HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!]

I've been taking lessons from the professor since day one!

[so kawaii, Emmy]

[[.....no don't go tho >:]]

My goodness, you must be almost at his level, now! A true British gentleman, Luke!

[[no ur so kawaii omg]]

I'm...proud of you.

[But he has to get those badges...

and omg no Emmy

stop it

he can't hold these feelings]

I'm flattered, Emmy...

[[yeah that's right

you take those feels!!!]]

You should be; I don't give out compliments like that very often~!

But I do mean it, Luke.

[He chuckles a bit.]

Well, I appreciate the compliment.

[And then he suddenly remembers something!]

Oh! Did I ever tell you that I took some fantastic pictures of the legendary Pokémon Suicune during that whole fiasco the other week?

Ah, you did? You simply must show me Luke, I'd love to see them!

[[omg omg omg omg omg photos]]

I didn't know you were interested in photography!

I'm normally not one to take photographs, but it would have been wrong not to take any of a legendary Pokémon! Who knows if it will ever make a public appearance again?

[And he pulls out his PokéGear, taking a moment to pull up the lovely pictures of Suicune in action before handing it over to Emmy.]
