[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.]

It may be lucky for the rest of the world, but it has caused me a lot of trouble.

Mii. I am sorry to hear that.

At least you were able to die with a purpose.

--ah! O-Of course! I'm just... surprised that some doctor from outside of your village hasn't come to investigate it or anything...

Exactly~

I got my sister here and my best friend. So I'm down wit' whatever. Only people at home are my folks, and you gotta move out sooner or later, yo!

But I wanna keep my Pokemon, and they'd stick out like a sore thumb in Shibuya.

Someone has investigated it.

[He lets out a surprisingly weary sigh]

So I consoled myself. I have been recently informed that the deaths of myself and most my team served to only assist a man who betrayed us.

Mii. How have you been Kaito?

Me? I guess I've been okay. What about you?

It's fine. Taling frankly together made everything better, after some time.

Good. Talking things out always helps.

... I'm sorry. I know of several people who had similar deaths.

Yes. This is preparing you for that day.

Mii. I suppose they would stick out anywhere.

I've been well. I recently started traveling with my best friend.

Of course, we had to practically force the words out of my friend, but the results were worth it.

Oh yeah!

Preparation, huh... But man! Sucks that I can't put my PokéMart experience on a resume back home. That was my first part time job.

Meeting other people from different places really changes your perspective on things, huh?

Is it safe to assume that didn't go too well...?

The past cannot be changed; the future is all we have.

I think I shall enjoy my future here. Things seem much less...complicated.

[The only thing that would make Johto better in Raven's eyes would be a certain eccentric, faceless teammate showing up.]

Maybe you can just put that you worked in a store.

Yes. Although, sometimes things do become complicated here.

How did you force them out?

Yes. Before arriving here, I found out that the one investigating it is the one who killed me. I promised to never forget that it was them.

Yes. I've learned that almost everyone has had problems they have to deal with.
