Yeah - I'm startin' to wonder what's outside of normal travel range here. [Bouncing off that double meaning a bit - after all, they've got barely the area of a province of Japan to deal with.]

[Do they get canes and walkers to bang at the young'uns?]

Yeah, it has - I'm signed up for th'tournament that's comin' up, and then was gonna take a quick trip t'get my Fly HM, but after that I don't have any real plans.

It really does make you wonder, doesn't it? There has to be more to this place than just these cities. It'd be kind of scary if that was all there was to this place. [ Like some demented doll house or something, but with cities. She rubs the back of her head with a sheepish look. ]

[ Oh yes, totally. They get to yell for them to get off their lawns too. ]

Really? I guess that means I can cheer for you too. [ Grins. ] I was thinking I might head for Olivine after the tournament, so I can head for CIanwood next. [ Once she has the Olivine badge she can make the journey. Hey, hey. :O You guys should go together! ... Except you know, Sokka will be there too by then. ]

Yeah... I wonder if some kind'f path somewhere else is th'real trick t'gettin' all th'badges, or somethin' else we haven't figured out yet. [Guess who's going to be one of the first people into Kanto when that opens at this rate..]

[And tell stories about going uphill? both ways? In pouring rain?]

Definitely be appreciated - y'got someone else y'know there? [He's giving a lopsided grin...still full of ego, this one.] Might have t'meet up somewhere in there! [...sob, downside of backthreading forever, though he'd be all for it. >.>; ]

I guess I'm kind of used to traveling, too. We did so much of it back home it's hard to imagine settling down in one place for months after this.

[ Especially Violet. Ugh, I've had enough of Violet to last three lifetimes. ]

[ Don't forget that they had to do it for FIFTEEN MILES, all with water-phobic fire dogs and too big to carry and no legs for walking sea creatures. IN THE DARK.

... That's a yes. ]

Yeah. Edward and Alphonse are entering. They're the guys I was traveling with until recently. [ It's alright. It suits him. And at least he's not hitting on her with said ego like certain tree dwelling boys. ]

Of course! Maybe we can meet in Olivine, or Cianwood? Just don't be too long or I might get both badges before you. [ Now her grin is a bit cheeky. Friendly competition is good, right? Even Katara has a competitive side. ]

Heh - this's the first time I've traveled this much; I don't leave Osaka real often, an' most of those trips are t'Tokyo t'go pester Kudo.

[And don't forget the carpet-bombing bugs!]

I'll be sure t'keep an eye out for'em - but don't think I'm gonna go easy on'em if I get matched up against'em. [Are you kidding? Kazuha would MURDER him! That and he's in denial about being in a relationship anyway. Girls are scary.]

I'll be sure t'keep an eye out for ya - if th'weather's bad, Bas may not be out real much, but Yuki remembers ya, an' there'll be an Aerodactyl an'a shark-dragon hangin' around. [Oh, he LIVES for it.] If y'manage t'catch up, that is.

I'm pretty sure it's a rule that your first adventure away from home requires so much travel. [ She seems amused as she says it. Speaking from experience. Is it possible to fourth wall without knowing other fandoms? She's onto the genre, abort, ABORT!!! ]

[ And rampaging water types. :| And soul sucking bugs. And random eggs-- okay that part was kinda cool actually. ]

I can't speak for Alphonse, but Ed would probably try to kick your butt even worse if he heard that. [ Smirk. ] I kind of wish I'd entered, but without my bending I wouldn't really stand a chance. [ Hey. Hey. Heiji. :| YOU NEED TO LIKE, TEACH HER SOME SELF DEFENSE SOMETIME. Ed's been teaching her a little but they aren't the best teacher/student team ever. ]

[ Ha ha, CRACK THAT WHIP, Kazuha! And girls are TOTALLY scary have you SEEN her sister in law? How about the season two-three featured villain? The chick with the seeing-nose-ferret? How about TOPH. ]

Carla and Jet will remember you, too. It shouldn't be hard to spot one another. [ She smirks. OH CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, BRO. ] If nothing else I'm sure you'll be able to spot my dust trail.
