018 [video]

[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?

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?

[... 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.
