[Good afternoon, Johto! Today you get a cheerful-looking Larry on the network, with an equally cheery Dratini coiled around his shoulders. In his free hand, he holds up two badges to the 'Gear's camera.]



Badges five and six! Having my own battle theme is kinda awesome, especially when battling a gym leader. But man, I can see the end in sight, guys. I can't tell you how excited I am to battle the last two leaders, especially that beauty Clair! Leave it to Johto have a smokin' hot lady as the dragon master. No way I'm gonna treat her as a pushover.

But I'm not scared either. [He grins, using his thumb to point as his Dratini.] 'Cause I'll be going in with my own dragon. Dratini's gonna be a powerhouse by the time I get to Blackthorn.

Dratini! [Dratini seems to agree with that prediction. She's up to the challenge!]

Wooooobbuffet! [Wobbuffet agrees too, apparently.]

[After laughing at his Pokemon pals, Larry turns back to face his 'Gear.]

Oh yeah, I meant to ask! What're you guys gonna dress up as for Halloween? Even if you don't know Halloween that well, all you gotta know is it's mostly about dressing up and getting candy. Assuming we don't have freaky crap happening again...

Me and Barney already got our costumes set in stone. We're gonna be a devil and an angel. We can be over people's shoulders giving them advice. It'll be great, man. We got another idea in mind, but that one's definitely a secret.

So yeah, humor me, huh? Whatcha gonna be? Especially you girls out there. [wink wink]

[How do you like having your own personal cheering squad, Larry!]

Gimme Five Larry!

[HE LOVES IT.

So Barney gets the five.]

Awwww yeah!

So, we're heading back to Goldenrod for this party soon, right? I want to make sure I have more than enough time for costume preparation.

[action]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm up for blowing this popsicle stand anytime. Goldenrod's way more entertaining than this place anyway.

[action]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

No kidding. What's the point of this place anyway? It's completely irrelevant. Like New Jersey or Canada or something.

Haa... I keep hearing about that Halloween thing. What's the point behind it?

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

It's a holiday mostly for fun. It's where people dress up as creatures or just fictional stuff in general and party. Lotsa horror-related stuff.

[Video]

[alpha_stigma.livejournal.com]

Horror, huh... Sounds bothersome, to me. I think I'll pass.

[but is that the ear twitch of a Clefairy in the room...?]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Dismissively waving his hand,] Your loss.

[If Ryner was a girl, maybe Larry would put more effort into convincing him to participate.]

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Congrats. You're on a roll.

And, I'm still thinking. Don't rush me!

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

But you've only got like a week left.

[video]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

A week is enough time for me to decide.

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

But can you get it in time?

[ Video ]

[forhishappiness.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, Larry.

[ She scratches her head a bit. ]

Uh, I don't think I'll wear somethin' for Halloween.

[ Video ]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Thanks~

[And then there's a sad, dramatic pause.] Whaaaat?! Why not?

[ Video ]

[forhishappiness.livejournal.com]

[ slkdfns Larry. ]

'M not one to do that kind of stuff. Besides, I don't know what I can wear.

[ Video ]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Where are you gonna be on Halloween? Maybe I can help you pick something!

[ Speaking of smokin' hot ladies— ]

Which badges are those? Mind telling me about the gyms?

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Hooot damn.]

For a pretty girl like you? 'Course I can.

The silver one's the Mineral badge from Olivine, and the brown one's the Storm badge from Cianwood. Olivine's gym is all about Steel types, and Cianwood's specialty is Fighting. I tell ya, they're no pushovers themselves.

[ The compliment's no surprise to her, really, but it makes her smile. ]

Had a hard time with them, did you?

video;

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say that, but they definitely put up a fight.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I dunno what I'm gonna dress up as yet. But I want it to be AWESOME, since I didn't get to last year.

_{[... Or the year before that. Halloween had lost its spark after everything that had happened in Silent Hill... but being in Johto and actually having FRIENDS had re-ignited it a little.]}

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I hear ya! Last year was a hurricane of failure. Or a hurricane of pixel failure? Yeah, sounds better.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Whatever it was, it SUCKED.

I don't even think I wound up getting any candy.

[Video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I was too busy hiding in fear of my life for days afterwords to even care about candy.

[a pause]

Those Missingno were terrifying, okay?
