[John seems somehow distracted when he turns on the video today. He's sitting at the kitchen table in his house, chin propped in his hand and eyes on a Pokéball he's rolling idly on the table in front of him.]

You ever wonder what it is that determines what happens to a Pokémon after its trainer goes back home? I mean, I've thought about it before but never really thought about it if that makes any sense? This is really the first time I've inherited one that wasn't from a friend so it just got me thinking.

Granted, it originally belonged to someone who was... [He pauses, seeming almost hesitant to finish that sentence. Or perhaps unsure of how he wants to end it.] ...a friend. At...one point in time... [He trails off, brow furrowing as he stops rolling the ball around.] So maybe it has less to do with Eridan and more to do with her.

[He leans his chair back on two legs, picking the ball up and passing it back and forth between his hands, finally looking at the camera.]

So yeah. Anybody have any good conspiracy theories on the matter? I'm curious.

Yeah, maybe. I don't know if I want to be that person, though, you know?

[Let someone else be the main character. :|]

I think I'll just be happy enough making a legend out of myself here, for now.

Which is an excellent goal. One I'm sure you will accomplish in no time. I mean, look how quickly you got all the badges.

[Sometimes, Tenten, you make him feel like a slacker in that regard. Probably because he sort of was.]

[She actually laughs at that, flushing lightly.]

I did get them all really fast, huh? Maybe I'm closer than I think!

VIDEO

[ghostytrainer]

Yeah. So I guess now you just...what? Prepare yourself for whenever the elite four decides to finally show their faces? I imagine becoming the champion would be the next step for a legend.

I dunno. What if I became the first person not-from-here to become a Gym leader! Then people could challenge me all the time!

[And she could kick their asses. Sounds fun!]

[ghostytrainer]

Oooo that's a good option too! I am fairly sure none of us have managed that yet. Unless it happened before I got here and the person left and the old leader took over again.

...but I don't think that's likely. Just a hunch.

[usedswift]

Hmm...

I wonder who I'd talk to to get an idea about that. One of the Gym leaders might know, but then I'd have to find whoever said they could be Gym leaders...

[But now she has a goal!]

I'll let you know if they say anything!

[ghostytrainer]

Hehe, yeah definitely keep me posted! I want to be able to tell my kids one day that I knew the great Tenten while she was in the process of becoming a legend.
