[Today on the feed, Larry looks distraught. Very distraught, and just a teensy bit annoyed. Why is he distraught and annoyed, you ask? Well, he's been cooped up in Violet City just a little too long. He suddenly slams the table that the 'Gear is propped up on, knocking it slightly off kilter.]

Okay, I seriously can't take it anymore. I need to ditch this popsicle stand. No offense to you guys who like Violet or anything, but this place is a serious energy sucker.

[Cue determined face!]

And since the thunderstorm of the century is finally over, now's the perfect time! Azalea, here I come! Bugsy, prepare yourself for the great Larry Butz! You're goin' down!

[In his triumph, he pauses. Oh yeah, he kinda forgot about something. He laughs sheepishly.]

Uh...that's okay, right Iris?

[ Larry. Larry omg did you almost forget Iris-san. ]

Violet does seem a bit too quiet for you.. especially after everything that happened there.

[He didn't forget her, just that she might not be as ready to move on as he is.]

Yeah, it's not really my favorite place. It's not really any of ours, huh?

[ Iris probably wouldn't say no, though. ]

It isn't my favorite, though not everything that happened there was terrible. [ One successful "date" with Franziska. It was a miraculous moment. ]

Nah, most of the time it's pretty quiet here. But that's what makes it so darn boring.

But that means it's peaceful.

Boring.

But I guess boring's better than hell on Johto, huh?

You're Larry Butz - somehow the world would find a way to rile up chaos around you, so you won't be bored, right?

Y'know, I think in Johto that mostly just happens to Nick.

... At least in Violet. I haven't heard from him lately, though.

Really?

... Now that you mention it, me neither. Last I heard he was in Cherrygrove though.

I hope he's doing alright.

... What about you, Larry?

C'mon, he's Nick. He can live through anything!

What about me? I'm fine, I guess. Bored out of my frickin' skull.

Considering that he was sick for the first month that I knew him here, and still ran around like nothing was wrong.. I don't doubt it.

[ A little grin. ] As long as you're fine.

He's inhuman. That can be the only explanation.

I am always fine. [Lie of the century goes to...] So what's up on your end? I can't even remember the last time I saw you in person.

Phoenix Man - he's probably some cousin of Superman.

I don't think we've seen each other since-- [ a pause ] ... the last time we were in Goldenrod, or it was Violet.

I've been alright. Mostly working or training my Pokémon..

That's the only sucky part about Johto. It takes forever to get around the place. When you're cities apart there's not much you can do.

Oh yeah? Any of your guys evolve?

At least there's the occasional teleportation. [ But he shrugs. ]

Not yet. I don't think I'll be able to feed two evolved Pokémon, though. Pess is really big.

Point.

Makes sense. Feeding...h-heh... [How Larry manages to feed all his huge Pokémon, the world may never know.]

[ At least Larry's Pokémon don't steal his wallet for ice cream? 8( ]

Have you been fighting the gym leaders, Larry?

Edited 2011-04-17 19:19 (UTC)

[... Smart Pokémon.]

Haven't since I beat Falkner forever ago. I'm gonna head down to fight Bugsy now, then take on Whitney when I get back to Goldenrod.

It's so weird. My main goal was to whomp all the gym leaders...but I just end up getting stuck the same places instead. I wanna see the rest of Johto.

[ ... sob. ]

I've been here for a few months, but I haven't been past Goldenrod, either. Franziska is in Blackthorn at the moment, though.

Go for it, bro!

...what's Azalea like?

It's...boring. Like, even worse than Violet. I just need to beat the gym leader, then I can finally come back to Goldenrod.

Worse than Violet?

[He didn't think that was possible...oh wait New Bark Town. Never mind.]

Seriously, Larry. Good luck. Let me know when you're in Goldenrod. We'll bro out.

Sounds like a plan. I'm way overdue for some bro out time.

Awesome. It'll be legendary!

Don't get too ahead of yourself, dude.

I got this. Really.

It really is. It's like the town that makes people stay there for years.

So pretty much Loguetown. [Inside joke goes whoosh.]

You've got a heck of a point. I was here for forever and a half back when I first landed in Johto. I heard there's a group that's been here for months too. This city is crazy, man.

Laguetown? Never heard of it.

Yup, just makes you stuck there. I mean practically no one stays in Azalea or Cherrygrove. Violet just has that effect on people.

Loguetown. The town of the beginning and the end. Gold Rogers birth and execution place.
Never mind, it's where I'm from.

Maybe the rest of the city is just as haunted as the bell tower.

Loguetown, gotcha. [He still doesn't quite get it.] Who's this Gold Roger? Sounds piratey.

Could be.

Right.
He was. King of the Pirates. The ultimate pirate. He had everything a pirate could want including the biggest treasure in the world: one piece. And his execution sent pirates all over the world hunting for it.

[Larry's eyes grow wide with excitement at Smoker's story.]

Whoa. That sounds like something out of a pirate book. 'cept y'know, for real.

Right.

Well it was real. I was at the execution myself.

Oh yeah?

[His intrigued expression is indirectly saying "GO ON, MAN."]

Mm-hm. I was just a kid, but he smiled. Right on the execution stand when he was about to get killed. At a time when everyone else would have started crying or pleading or at least have been grim, he smiled.
