I'm pretty sure I will be back by then.

...What rival? I don't think I have one.

[lullabytes]

Everyone has a rival character. It's an absolute staple of this genre! If you don't know who it is, that can't be helped...but you should definitely keep an eye out. Rival battles are among the most exciting!

[superordinary]

You mean, a rival like Blue?

[lullabytes]

Exactly! A person whose starter is super-effective against yours...

For me, that destined person is Kirigiri-senpai. I am sure your destined rival is also out there, Naegi-senpai.

[superordinary]

[ Okay, this is weird but he'll...roll with it. ]

I started with a Togepi, a Normal-type. Does that mean my rival's starter is a Fighting-type?

But she's part Flying now so Fighting isn't super-effective anymore.

[lullabytes]

I think it would still be a Fighting-type...but perhaps a Fighting-type that evolved into something equally effective against a part-flying type...

It might be a little tougher to find your rival, but I think we can do it.

[superordinary]

Does a Pokémon like that even exist? Its secondary type would have to be Rock, Electric or Ice.

[ There's exactly one Pokémon that fits those requirements and it's Terrakion. :|b ]

[lullabytes]

Could be. After all, no one knew about Bloobers, right...? So perhaps it's just something we don't know about.

[ TERRAKION, WHY SO LEGENDARY. ]

[superordinary]

[ WHEN GEN SIX BECOMES A THING TOGETIC WILL BE WEAK TO STEEL AND POISON... meaning that Toxicroak and Lucario will meet the requirements too. ]

That's true. There's probably many undiscovered Pokémon out there.

[lullabytes]

[ WHEN THIS DISCOVERY HAPPENS, CLEARLY HE'LL HAVE TO ADVERTISE FOR HIS RIVAL. ]

Especially in those other regions...someday, I'd like to visit them.

[superordinary]

[ Nanami will probably have to do that for him because he thinks it's kind of silly tbh. ]

Me too. There's a lot to see in Johto and in Kanto, but the world is really big. I'd like to see what's out there.

[lullabytes]

[ She will totally do this for him. She will find you your rival, Naegi, and then you can compete with said rival. ]

I wonder if there's a way to get into other games, too...

[superordinary]

Like the Mario games?

[lullabytes]

Or Zelda! Wouldn't that be fun? To visit all the different games...some might be best left alone, but there are a lot that would be really cool to see.

I'd be sure to give you all a really good tour, too.

[superordinary]

Yeah, horror games or...I don't know, Grand Theft Auto (I haven't played that series but I know it's pretty violent) probably are better off left alone.

Hyrule would be fun to see, though.

[lullabytes]

I think we've had enough of that genre. Ah, although I was a big fan of a certain series...even that, it feels tainted now.

So you played Zelda, too...? Naegi-senpai, your level is unexpectedly high. I think I'd like to visit the Wind Waker world...perhaps we could all get a ship and sail around?

[superordinary]

I think we'd need a really big ship if we want to take our classmates with us.

[lullabytes]

Or one that's just bigger on the inside...that sort of thing is common with games.

[superordinary]

All right, but who gets to be the captain?

[lullabytes]

Naegi-senpai, probably. Aren't you the only one besides me who really gets along with everyone currently? Or at least doesn't not get along...

Ah, we should start a club. Maybe that will make everyone else want to join.
