[Green had gone into town with the express purpose of buying gifts for his graduated Pokemon, but then immediately felt guilty and bought gifts for all his Pokemon. They all ended up getting new (color coded, of course) messenger bags for the journeys ahead. He also agonized for a bit longer over a gift for another graduate, Blue. She got a necklace with a stone embedded in it that reminded him of the stones she had gifted him when she came to visit, before she had even enrolled. That, along with a note--

What's a thing you still haven't done, despite having lived in FDC for so long? Let's go do it this week.
I trust you'll choose something adventurous. Of course, I have suggestions, if you'd like.

♥ Green]

Congrats to all you sorry douches that graduated this year-- Personally, it seems ridiculous that so many of you are choosing to stick around, but look who's talking. I hope you'll join me in making next year as horrifying as possible for any incoming freshmen.

Private, to Bulba and Kumatora
Since Zelda went home, looks like it's up to you now, Bulba. gonna have to make sure me and Kuma don't party too goddamn hard on any given night.
I will volunteer to attempt to make a batch of cookies in her honor. I'll never be able to get them as good as her, though.

Nowhere I'd rather have you, buddy!

[rivalthunderbolts]

So tell me, what awesome adventures are we gonna have this summer?

[rivalappeared]

Unfortunately I feel like it's gonna have something to do with that rising lake...

[rivalthunderbolts]

Oh. Right. Not that awesome.

Char, Riwane and I checked it out earlier. Unfortunately none of us is really the diving type, so we couldn't exactly go look at the bottom.

[rivalappeared]

Maybe we can get a more aquatically inclined friend to give is a hand with that?

[rivalthunderbolts]

Well, Char talked about gettin' some scuba gear, and I know a Vaporeon girl who might be able to help!

[rivalappeared]

There's a Vaporeon here?

Certainly you and Char aren't entertaining ideas of 50,000 Leagues-ing it, right?

[rivalthunderbolts]

Yeah! Her name's Chiyo. She was here before but left for a while. She was kinda... on edge around me before. Bad experience with Jolteons before. But we're cool now.

Me and Char? No. Me, Char, and Riwane? Yes. I'm as surprised as you.

[rivalappeared]

UGHHH, you guys are gonna give me palpitations. You know I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you... and whatever I'll-advised plan requires two fire-types and an electric-type to go water exploring.

I know Chiyo! I'm glad she's back. And I'm glad you're getting along.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Yeah, I'm still not sure how I ended up agreeing to this. Me under water is kind of a dangerous possibility.

Yeah! We're cool now. Before she was terrified of me, but now she gets that I'm not out to hurt her, so it's all good.

[rivalappeared]

Well, obviously you wouldn't hurt her, but the fact that Chiyo was even concerned about that in the first place is evidence enough that this is probably a bad idea.

[rivalthunderbolts]

You know, the more you say, the more I'm starting to think this is a bad idea.

[rivalappeared]

Uh yeah, DUH! You might as well just jump off a cliff now, at this rate. And before you say anything, yes, I am aware that Riwane and Char can fly. Whatever.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Right.

...

I'm still gonna go though. Not gonna chicken out on Char or Riwane.

[rivalappeared]

Never known you to be a chicken, but I'm a man of my word, too. Still worried.

[rivalthunderbolts]

I'll keep you posted, okay, boss?

[rivalappeared]

Yes, please!!
