[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.]

I hope so! The town is the place where I was born and raised in, before the Heartless forced us out. It's special, you know. So, I want to protect it.

Me? Where I am doesn't matter, so long as I'm surrounded by people. Whether they're here or in Japan, I love them dearly. They're all... my loved ones. As long as I have that, what else could I need?

Location is all very relative, as far as I'm concerned.

[She hugs him back.] It's all right... I believe we have all of the pieces to win the game now.

Probably. I would not even have the will to move forward in my life.

Of course I have time! [Rika giggles at the Teddiursa comes out of the ball. She runs over to him and pats him on the head.] Mii. Is he your strongest?

Mii. I had a feeling that you would say that.

Hayate told me that this place was similar to a game he played.

Yes. I would want to do the same. I hope everything is resolved soon.

[She's patting it on the head now.] He is very cute.

I believe so.

Mii! Thank you. It was easier than I thought it would be.

[Keiichi grins at that.]

He should be more obedient.

So he never listens?

Most of the time he does, but sometimes, he forgets who is the Master here.

I... I don't really get what you mean by pieces, but-- I hope everything works out for you, Rika-san. Really I do...

... Thank you, Hayate.

All of us are like pieces on a gameboard.

I am sure he will learn. Although, he may view you as an equal.

--eh? Pieces on a gameboard...?

My own life would also be terrible if I was friendless in this world. It's lucky we both made many friends here, then.

Yes. I may have my pokémon with me, but I don't know what I would do while traveling between towns.

Yes. You can't win a game if you don't have all of the pieces.

Normally I would suggest talking with the locals, but some of the trainers on the road have rather limited interests and conversation subjects. I find them somewhat strange, at times.

Mii. They are rather strange. Although, I have not spoken to many.

Right... I've heard that before, but what's this "restarting"?

That's, um... A... rather interesting way of looking at things.

Starting over. I believe you are able to do that with games.
