-- extending a hand foward to Zach.

"I'm always accepting challenges, anywhere, though having adventures is more fun, so Lance is somewhat my substitute." -- Zach

-- An awkward chuckle escaped his lips, releasing Zach's hand and scratching his cheek. "Though! I'm still champion of course!"

"Say, you've already gotten me pretty amped up!" The champion's left palm clutched together, the intensity in his eyes -- Zach

-- growing. "Me and my Pokémon shall be patiently waiting for your challenge! Ehe, I can't wait." Zach

"I don't have my Pokégear on me. Sorry."

"I've happened to see what seemed to be a golden Pidgey, but it ended up flying away.. Darn it."

"Wah." The ravenette spun around surprisingly when @SadisticMegami began speaking, not even noticing her presence when she appeared --

-- behind him. "Eh.. What's a Pokégear you say? Simply put, it's an essential device every Pokémon trainer should have. -- @SadisticMegami

-- It's extremely useful and has many functions." @SadisticMegami

The Johto Champion was suddenly taken back by the question @SadisticMegami had opposed, an eyebrow curving in suspicion. "... You're not --

-- from around these parts, are you? Hm, a Pokémon Trainer is someone who befriends Pokémon, evidently training them -- @SadisticMegami

-- to challenge others to become stronger. These people make up most of our world, but you're obviously not from here, -- @SadisticMegami

-- so now I'm curious, who are you?" @SadisticMegami

"Our journey."

"Of course, people and Pokémon are friends, partners and comrades." Crossing arms against his chest, the youngster -- @SadisticMegami

-- nodded in agreement towards his own statement. "Plutia, huh? Name's Ethan, I'm the Champion of the Johto Region, -- @SadisticMegami

-- and it's a pleasure to meet you. You're in Johto at the moment, but judging by your expression, you seem to not have -- @SadisticMegami

-- any clue whatsoever. Do you at least know how you got here?" @SadisticMegami
