[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]

A week is enough time for me to decide.

But can you get it in time?

...good point. Maybe! I've already got a few ideas going!

Wanna lay 'em on me? Maybe I can help you pick.

Well, I was kinda thinkin' of being a leprechaun. Or maybe a mad scientist. Or even a pirate captain. I might go with the leprechaun, though.

Yeah, do leprechaun. I think you'd look cute in that getup! [Maybe it's the red hair and freckles...and shortness.]

Really? You think so? [She can't help but grin a bit. AND DON'T MENTION THE SHORTNESS IN FRONT OF HER. Then again, she probably won't freak out THAT MUCH...]

Yeah! [He'll slip up eventually.]

Are you gonna find a gold pot and everything?

I'm gonna try! And I'll fill it with chocolate coins! Or cookies.

Do coins and cookies. Coin-shaped cookies, even.

No problem! I'll stock up at the mall!

You're seriously gonna have the best pot ever. I hope you're planning on sharing!

'Course I am! I could send some of the goods over to you if you're not at Goldenrod by Halloween.

Goldenrod is eeeeexactly where I'm gonna be. What luck!

Luck o' the Irish, all right! Better be quick before your luck runs out!

Oh I'll be quick, don't worry about that.

Good! You've got several days, anyway.
