Well, you’re not exactly sitting around 8y traveling to Johto, are you?

May8e you should look for challengers. If trainers don’t think their gym leader is that into it, they won’t pay a lot of visits, right?

[You shrug. You don’t honestly care if he gets the challengers he wants. You’re only trying to continue the conversation. If that means giving suggestions, you’re fine with it.]

8uuuuuuuut that’s just my thoughts on the matter.

Or you could 8attle a 8unch of your friends to get a streak going.

I know I’d 8e more likely to 8attle someone with a streak just to see if I could 8reak it.

{ Green frowned. As much as he would like to travel looking for challengers, there was another more important responsibility he had to attend too. }

Believe me, I would love to travel around looking for people who could possibly hope to claim the Earth Badge… If I didn’t have to take care of a kid.

{ Green rarely described Autumn as ‘my kid’ due to the awkward way she came into existence. It was hard to explain to others how a sixteen year old had a seven year old daughter. Nonetheless, he cared for the girl a great deal and liked to believe he was a good father. }

I actually did attempt to get something similar to a Tournament set up a while back, however the man who promised to help me thus far hasn’t kept up his side of the deal.

{ Though it annoyed Green to have not heard from Noland regarding the manner in so long, he wasn’t going to pester him about it either. Such things were hard to plan, after all. At least, Green hoped that Noland was still planning. }
