The letter sits, unread, amidst a pile of other mail in the Pokémon Center in Verdanturf.
Dear Red, It starts.
Once again, you are infuriating. My stationary is nice, not "frilly." And what's the idea of sending me one of those Luvdisc bracelets in the mail?!
I was Viridian's gym leader after Giovanni fucked off. His son, Silver, has taken over for me now. Yes, researching is my dream, and it's really not different from living with pokémon, you know. When I'm a professor, I'll do plenty of all those things you like: exploring and meeting new pokémon. I probably won't battle much, but wild pokémon battles are still battles.
Geeze, am I glad I'm not one of your ex-girlfriends. They probably thought they were dating you, you know. Oh, sex. That's nothing. Talk about cold?
I've told Yellow about you. Leaf, too. In fact, Leaf said she was visiting the Hoenn region? Have you seen her? She's a diehard trainer like you. I'm sure you'd know if you'd crossed paths with her.
We had a substitute proctor for our exam today. I think she made Sonia cry. She was pure evil, so I don't blame Sonia for being upset. The woman said "finish your sentence and put down your pencils" once time was up, which clearly means that you're allowed to finish your sentence, right? Apparently wrong. She yanked the exam right out from under Sonia, and I was sitting next to her, so I put my pencil down as fast as I could. Yellow's not around enough for me to vent to about these things like I want. Will you listen to me?
If me admitting why I quit training wasn't too embarrassing, then, I suppose, I can admit that part of why I started this pen pal thing is that I'm a bit lonely. You won't catch me admitting this lightly, so you better appreciate it when I say that it's been nice talking to you. It seems ridiculous that I got lucky enough to get a fellow Kantonian for a pen pal. I guess I'm a little bit homesick, too. Again, you don't have to comment on this paragraph if you're going to make a big deal out of it.
P.S. Umbreon tried to jump on the couch today but misjudged the height and fell flat on her face. I love her, but that shit was funny.
With Candor,
Blue
