[Larry intends to make this post short and sweet, so there's no fancy angles or openings or anything like that. It's just him in one of the Training Center's rooms.]

Hey, I got a question for you guys. You all know about golden birthdays, right? Well today's mine—man, I'm gettin' so old—and I have no idea what to do for it. I had a whole bunch of plans for it back home, but I can't do any of them now since I'm not there, y'know? I guess I shoulda made new plans but I wasn't expecting to spend three birthdays here. And I don't really have anyone in town to celebrate it with either, so that's a double whammy.

[He sighs and rubs the back of his head with his free hand. Man, this is the worst golden birthday ever.]

So yeah, any suggestions? If no one's got anything I guess I could grab a drink and try to get a new high score in that Rapidash Attack game.

[... Wow, that sounded really sad.]

Uh, thanks.

[He's just gonna cut the feed out now.]

You could always just spoil yourself. Maybe grab a few friends if they're in the area and do something low-key.

[A pause, and he shrugs.]

Or you could throw a late party. Nothing wrong with that.

A lot of my friends have gone home, but the ones left aren't in town. Maybe I could hang out with my Pokemon instead?

Hey, Pokémon count as friends too, don't they?

'course they do! I meant humans friends before. I'm just glad I can count on my Pokemon staying by my side.

Some company's better than nothing. Still, it's a drag that your other friends aren't even close by. That's the one huge downside to this place.

[He nods solemnly.]

Yuuuup. A lot of them are back in their own worlds too. Sometimes I wish I could go back too, at least for a little while.
