[The Gear, for once, isn't being carried by a certain Jynx; instead it's in the claws of Sojobo, the Murkrow, circling down as Heiji is leaving the Azalea gym. Heiji stops to hold the door open for Baskerville, who struts out into the blazing sun with his head and whiplike tail high; a few curls of smoke follow him out the door, and through the open door there's a brief glimpse of Yuki the Jynx using Powder Snow to help a couple Surskit put out the last few small fires around the arena-area before she hurries to catch up, and Heiji lets the door shut behind her.]

[Yuki takes the Gear camera duties back from the Murkrow, the camera jostling as it's handed off, then Sojobo settles on Heiji's shoulder; Heiji grins to the camera, tossing the Hive Badge in the air with one hand and catching it - while Sojobo doesn't go for it or even really move from staying puffed comfortably on his trainer's shoulder, you can see one red eye following the Badge's movement.]

Yanno, I can only hope all th'Gyms go that easily.

Before I head out, anybody got any information on th'Goldenrod gym and th'road between here an'there? I wasn't in th'city real long last time, an' we'd taken th'shortcut from Violet, so this's my first time down in this area'f Johto.

((Badge is mod-approved!))

I wish you all the luck. Both of you... oh.

I forgot to introduce myself again, didn't I? How rude of me. My name is Lacus Clyne.

Thanks, an' its a pleasure t'meet ya! Name's Heiji Hattori.

It is a pleasure to meet you too, Heiji.

[ Pause. ] I hope this will not seem rude, but I can't help but notice your accent.

Nah, not at all! 'm from Osaka, born an' raised; it's a lovely city an' an amazing area, so I'm proud t'be from there.

Osaka? No wonder it sounds familiar...

That is in Japan, isn't it?

Yeah, in th'West - take it you're from a version'f Earth, then?

Yes. And I've been to Japan a few times.

[] Where're y'from originally?

Originally? Oh my, that is not a question I encounter very often.

[ At least without her mentioning about space. ]

I was born at the PLANTs. Space colonies.

[] You're probably from th'future, or I guess for you I'd be from th'past.. there's a couple space stations but nothing people live on long-term - 'm from 2010. How far've people gotten?

That is possible.

I am from the C.E. 73 --- that is... the Cosmic Era.

....Wow. Uh -

Y'wouldn't happen t'know when that calendar kicked in on th'Gregorian BC/AD calendar, would'ja?

[ She giggles and nods. ]

Around AD 2130.

[]

So ... Probably a sorta silly question, but -

What's th'future like?

[ She is asked this question quite often, so she doesn't mind. ]

I guess it depends on how long ago you are from...

From what year are you?

I'm from 2010, pretty early in th'year - hope y'don't mind th'curiosity, it's just not somethin' you'd get t'hear about normally.

[]

That is a very long time ago ...

[ Pause. Not wanting to mention the Gundams or war. ] In my time, there are space colonies... as I have mentioned. A civilian can now enjoy space travel ---

I believe what changed the most is the existence of the Coordinators.
