[Rika is currently sitting under a tree on the outskirts of Violet City, and she's holding a badge in her hands.] Mii. I am sorry that I did not tell anyone that I would be challenging Falkner today. Satoko, I thought it would be better to show you a more even battle since I was too strong for Falkner and the battle went by quickly... I was not able to fight to my fullest, and I want to show you what my team is really like.

[She's silent as she shifts around, putting the badge down on the ground and picking up her Shinx and setting it in her lap.] ... I have also been thinking about Johto and everyone here lately. We all come from different places, and I've wondered if, given the choice, would you go back home right now? Would you forget all of the memories you've made here?

Or would you prefer to bring all of your loved ones here, and leave your home behind? ... Or maybe you would leave all of your loved ones at home and just stay here? [Rika opens her mouth again as she prepares to say something else when her Shinx licks her on the cheek. Her attention immediately turns to the pokémon and she smiles at it.]

Mii? Would you like something to eat? [Rika cuts off the feed as she reaches into her bag to look for food.]

That is a rather important difference indeed. Though at least it means that you can make many new friends, which must be harder in a small town.

Wha-- That's terrible! Do... do you even know why they want to do that?!

[justicereigns]

Nope. Or at least she can't remember it. She said it was just waking up back at the start and suddenly finding out everyone else had skipped months forward.

Such a shame~ I was looking forward to hearing what you had to say of it.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

... I believe so.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That is strange. Maybe she was here all along, but no one could find her.

What would your answer be, Izaya?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[Rika nods.] I have enjoyed making many friends here.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I didn't live long enough to find out.

[video]

[paladinlost]

That is good. You can never have too many friends.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I agree. I don't know what I would do without them.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Is that because of... what happened on your world?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

... Although, it is selfish of me to wish them away from their families.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Heh... I think that's something we all have.

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Worth a shot I guess.

[justicereigns]

I don't know... she lost all her pokemon and badges except her starter though.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

It's hard to make sure that you aren't too selfish, though.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I think so. You have the experience of working already, so you might as well put it on a resume. However, if that doesn't work, at least you will know what you're doing.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... Some people say Johto is based off of a game, so maybe it was as if she restarted.

[justicereigns]

Wait. What?

[combat_butler]

*fffff Rika ;A;!! Hayate is just... putting his arms around her. You are getting a hug dammit even if it is somewhat awkward for him* I'm so, so sorry, Rika-san.

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If they don't buy it, I can jus' say it was volunteer work. That oughta do it.

Oh right, congrats on the badge, yo!

[paladinlost]

Spend boring, lonely days by yourself, probably?

If you have time. [Taking out her pokeball and releases Teddiursa. Look how he has his paw in his mouth.]

[Keiichi clings to Rika after the hug.]

Ah... That's my Bagon.
