[It's a lovely evening in Ecruteak City. Lovely enough for Larry to go up and find a nice view of the city to draw and paint. His Pokemon are out of their Pokeballs and lounging around while Larry sits in silence, scribbling away in his sketchbook. He's not really sure why inspiration struck him so hard today, but he has a feeling it's because today marks an entire year in Johto for him. Mostly, he believes he just needs to space out and draw for once. His mind has been on battling and gyms far too much, and since he finally got the Fog badge, he can relax for a bit.

He's drawn many things in the couple hours spent in that spot. He's drawn his Pokemon, his friends, and even friends that left a long time ago. So many memories, and so many to come. But his biggest piece of the evening is a pastel drawing of the city itself.

Adding the last few swatches of color to the drawing, he looks it over, then sighs. It's a happy sigh. Mission accomplished!]

Woooobbuffet!

[Wobbuffet looks equally accomplished, looking at that drawing.

Larry grins, patting his starter's head.]

Glad you like it, Wobbuffet. Here's to another year, huh?

Wobba Wobba!

[Since Larry's rather proud of his drawing of Ecruteak, he decides to turn his 'Gear on and show it off. Thus, the feed begins with a shot of the drawing. It's actually pretty good, even for Larry.]

Hey guys, whatcha think? Not too shabby, huh? [He grins,] Guess I'm not rusty at the whole art thing yet!

Oh, and uh... [He looks a little awkward, trying to think of what to say here,] Happy one year for you guys who landed in Johto a year ago today. Hard to believe we've actually stuck around this long. Not that that's a bad thing to me. Here's hopin' the crazy things'll get toned down in the year to come.

Heh, who am I kidding? It wouldn't be Johto without the crazy things!

Make it four, Edgey. [YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS.]

... I hope so. [He does look a bit reassured by Miles' words.]

I don't believe she was a bad person, either. [ He's sure. ] People who are truly bad won't act like she did.

[He nods.] She was so pure. She was just really great to hang out with. I was always in a good mood around her.

... I guess you're right. I wish I'd been better to her.

What do you mean?

She was always trying to cheer me up, like December...

I was moping a lot.

Everyone has their mopey times. [Larry should know this more than anyone.] I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I should have smiled more for her. She was trying her best, and she already had to deal with her sister..

I think she understood anyway though. She did worry about you a lot, but I told her you'd push through it.

[a pause] Things are a little better...right?

... Yes, they're better. I've gotten better.

Good to hear!

[Even Larry was worrying for a bit there.]

[ He grins. ] I won't make you worry.

Good. I'm too young to be gettin' grey hairs from worrying.

At least you weren't born with it.

[... Damnit it Larry. Stop forgetting who you're talking to.]

N-Not that there's anything wrong with grey hairs! ... Eheh.

It's fine, Larry. I don't think I'll look that good with brown hair, either.

You get so used to it after a while, y'know? I couldn't see you with any other color.

I couldn't see anybody from our class with this hair color. Everyone knew me because of this.

Yup. I don't think that many people could rock it anyway.

[ He is a bit proud. ] I like it.

Me too. Like I said, it's hard to make look good, but you do it.

[ He grins. ] Thank you.

No prob'.

[Larry likes seeing you happy, Miles.]

[ Miles enjoys being cheerful, too. Larry will get to see more of it. ]

But compliments on my hair or not, I'll catch up to you again.

And I'll be one step ahead of you by then.
