[It's been a long time since Banjou was last on the network.

He has his same setup from the last time, playing away at his acoustic guitar. This time, he's playing something he probably heard on the radio.]

I have a question, for those of you who have been here a long time. How many Pokemon do you have? Where did you find them and what are their names?

I have a pretty small team, and I'm content with that right now, though I'm sure getting more wouldn't hurt. I'm just curious about everyone else here, especially from those who have been here for years.

....Oh.

[That's significantly less cute.]

I... I see.

He's a lot more well behaved than his namesake.

[She shrugs.]

You win some, you lose some.

Well, that's a good thing, isn't it?

It is.

No matter how long you've had your Pokémon, I'm sure they'd appreciate a nickname. Try it sometime.

[He nods.]

I try to give my Pokemon names they'll be happy to have. So far, it seems to have worked.

If you teach them to read, you can always have them pick out their own as well.

You know, that's not a bad idea.

It takes a lot of patience. I don't know how my sister does it.

[Truthfully, he's not much of a teacher, but he'll try.]

I've heard of Pokemon using the Gears every once in a while. It makes sense now, how they learned.

My Meowstic, Hope, used to take mine to call his sister who belongs to another trainer. A few of mine can read, though not all of them are interested in it. My Altaria isn't.

[He smiles.]

Really? I might have to teach a couple of them, at least.

If something bad happens, you always have something around to call for help for you.

That's a good point.

If someone ever goes camping and runs into trouble, their Pokemon are their best bet.

There's also idiots here who forget to tell other where they are going.

[She's noticed a few people like that.]

I've noticed. It doesn't seem like a good idea, even in a place like this.

That's why I make sure to travel with someone else.

[She won't do the stupid thing and travel alone. Again.]

It's a good idea; if you end up in trouble, at least you have a companion with you.

A reliable companion at that.
