Hey! This better be working, because like I asked that woman... What is going on?!

[So sorry for the sudden yelling, Johto. There's one angry girl on the line, hiding her confusion behind, well. The volume.]

Yes yes, it's nice to be back in some place with some sense of reality...

[As she quiets down a soft, constant “Pip! Pip! Pip!” can be heard in the background, unheard or unacknowledged by the girl talking.]

But, I was supposed to be inside a shrine, not running around some quaint little town with animals as weird as Mokona! It's probably that thing's fault to begin with. When I find that marshmallow-

[She's mumbling to herself now, making the background cries all the more noticeable. Enough that the caller snaps at the source.]

Would you quit doing that?! I don't know what you want!!

[One last “Pip!” and out goes the call. Please allow five seconds for ears to stop ringing.]

....aaah, I wish Fuu were here! She would know more about that than me!

[combat_butler]

... the gamer of your group, I take it?

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

That's the only way to explain her talking about experience points and winning treasure from fights all the time.

[video]

[combat_butler]

--whoa, the openly gamer of your group then. Sounds like someone who would click her quite nicely...

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

That's what I said.

But if this is some huge "game", I'd like to talk to the maker. This place lacks effective rewards.

[video]

[combat_butler]

--eh? It does? Were you hoping for Achievements and Trophies?

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

I was thinking more like a way home-

But what about some perks? Do we get anything for earning all those badges?

[video]

[combat_butler]

Well... It gets easier to travel with each one you get? Especially after the ones that give you access to things like flight and surfing...

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

But, travel to where? Are there special places in this world?

[video]

[combat_butler]

Er... It's more in the sense that you'll just be able to travel quicker? Though there are a few shortcuts you can take once you can fly and surf.

Special places, though... Hmmm... I'm not really sure what would qualify.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-so I can get around a place I didn't ask to be in in the first place, all the easier.

That sounds like there's got to be something missing.

[video]

[combat_butler]

You mean like modern transport in general?

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

Or a sense of satisfaction.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Well... I think most people get that just from getting the victory over the leader, if it helps?

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

What, you mean satisfied with winning the reward?

[video]

[combat_butler]

Well... Yes? More the sense of accomplishment...? Unless you over power them dramatically, in which case it's kind of a joke.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-sounds like it's a rickety goal.

What's even the thinking with all this?!
