there are no guarantees in the future

So I've been thinking......

[ insert rude joke of your choice here ]

You know, I've been here for....a while now, but I've never tried out a gym fight! I mean, at first I was just trying to adjust and follow Quisty, and then I got all settled in Goldenrod....I guess I didn't have the time! [ Small laugh. It's not really funny, anyway. ]

But I don't really have much of an excuse anymore! And I have to try, anyway. Even if the badges aren't guaranteed to get us back home, it's still worth a shot, right? 

[ It's what they'd be doing if they were here--what they had been doing, in the past, while she'd been taking a vacation. And it was nice, for a while. But it was time she showed that she could handle herself like an adult, too. ]

So! I officially announce the start of my quest to defeat all the gym leaders in Johto! [ Fist pump. ] And if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
