It's been a while. Rocky was growing up slowly and he hoped that he was taking very good care. He wasn't a trainer...he never thought he'd do something like this. But Riley trusted him. And so far, he'd been doing the right things. Rocky the Bonsly was happy and healthy. Even though Mac didn't know how to train, or...breed, or understand the language of Pokemon. If only he had the skills of Max or N, that'd be great. But he guessed he didn't have a huuuuge problem with it. Pokemon was still a big concept for Mac. So many types, so many kinds...

That was when a thought came to him. What was stopping him from learning so much more? Maybe he wasn't trainer material, or breeding material. But he could learn a bit more anyway. And maybe that would have to take him beyond the school doors, maybe for just a week or so. Rocky needed to see a place like that anyway. He was born here...Mac thought? Eh, maybe he was being way too brash or childish about it. But well, maybe it could be an opportunity to see some old friends again. Maybe take up on that offer Erika gave him and visit her gym. Or see how Lyra was doing in Johto. And if N was able to meet up with him, Mac would like that very much. Seriously, what in goodness name was stopping him. Something fun and new. Mac liked fun and new. He oughta think more about this...

Hell, while he was on it? Maybe he needed to go to New York again...Mac missed the WVBA. He missed Doc. He'd talked to him, of course. Kept in contact. But he dared not talk about the murder. Never. Ever. When he stayed on that thought, he moved his hand to his big scar. Still red and gross. He thought about Caim. Then he thought about Rhys.

Then Doc called. Oh.

Guess it's been a while, huh. Got called for some WVBA business finally. Guess I oughta get outta that lil' ol' hiatus I apparently took, haha.

That leads me to another question. Anyone know a good place to go to in Kanto? Johto? Unova? As long as I'm takin' care of Rocky here, I think a visit to a place like that oughta be good for us both.

Since I'm goin' to New York...Wanna come with?

Can I ask ya a favor, sir?

You said somethin' about babysittin', right? How's next weekend work for ya? I'll even pay ya for it.

Babysitting your Bonsly, you mean? That's fine, you don't even have to pay me! I'd love to look after him for you!

And, uh, if you're interested in checking Johto out, you should visit Goldenrod City! I think it'd be right up your alley!

Aw nah, I insist. Ya might need some cash anyway to make sure Bonsly eats what he likes. I'll give you some and you can keep the difference, how's that?

Goldenrod, eh? What's over there? Like a bigger city?

Well, if you insist. Don't be surprised if I spend it all on goodies for Rocky, though! Haha!

Yep. Goldenrod's the biggest city in Johto. They've got a huge department store there, and a game corner where you can play stuff to win TMs, Pokemon, and stuff like that! And there's a train to Saffron City if I'm remembering right. I think you'd really like it!

Vinnie mentioned somethin' about a Dojo in Saffron. Knowin' a train goes between 'em actually makes it all the easier.

What a TM though...? Never heard of 'em.

A TM is a machine- it looks pretty much like a CD- that you give to your Pokemon to teach them new moves. Like, say I wanted to teach my Cyndaquil Will-O-Wisp. I'd just give him the TM for it!

...Ya give it to Pokemon like ya would a computer?

[Mac.]

Saffron's got a Fighting Dojo, actually. I think they mostly got Black Belts trainin' there, but it's worth checkin' out.

Fightin' Dojo! Aw man, now you're talkin'! Even if it ain't specifically boxin', I'm sure they outght have some fightin' types?

[I WANNA SEE A HITMONCHAN]

'Course! Mankeys, Hitmonlees, Hitmonchans... all tough as nails.

I would die a happy guy when I actually see one of 'em Hitmonchans.

How popular is the WVBA actually? I must admit, I have never heard of the organization before.

Eh, I know a lotta people here ain't heard of it. It's popular where I'm from. Some boxers in the league are crazy famous and make a lotta dough from things other than boxing.

In fact, a lotta people here only learned about that since for some reason WVBA matches can show on TV alll the way here.

I see. While it is not something I would normally watch, I will see if I can catch a match when you are competing.

S-shucks...Considerin' I'm defendin' my title now, I think I'm gonna need all the willpower I can get.

Don't make yourself watch it if you don't wanna. I had a good friend who was really swell n' came to my Champ Bout personally but he got all freaked out when he saw us clobberin' each other.

That sounds like fun! I'm game!

Doc wants to meet you personally so I think I oughta right?

Can you promise me somethin' though?

What's on your mind?

Let's keep the...murder thing between you and me. Doc don't need to know.

Havin' Mr. Rhys heal up my scar too.

Well, all right... But don't you think he deserves to know?
