[Judging by the dim light, it's well into sunset by now and John's laying on a lounge chair on what can only be the deck of the S.S. Anne. On his chest lays a small Dunsparce, wearing a tiny and absolutely adorable light blue party hat. John's idly petting its back, eliciting a few content sighs from the little snake every now and again.]

I know we have a starter appreciation day, but there's nothing quite like the anniversary of your arrival to get you thinking about the Pokémon that started it all. Like really think about them, I mean. Not just kind of acknowledging that they were your first Pokémon.

Or maybe I am just sentimental, who knows. But I really think there's something kind of special about starters. Even if there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why you were paired up together. Either way, Colonel Sassacre here and I have been together three years as of today. [The Dunsparce flitters his wings a little, maybe giving the camera the smallest of smiles.] Though it feels like it's been way longer than that, honestly. Time flies when you're having fun, right?

[He beams at the camera.]

So tell me about your starters. What was yours? What sort of things have you done together? I dunno, just brag about them if you want. Or we can just talk about whatever, you know I am honestly not too picky. There's just only so long I can appreciate complete silence, personally. But this chair is way too comfy and the breeze feels way too nice to go back inside.

[He's feeling chatty again, apparently. And also lazy. Though what else is new on either of those fronts, really?]

On that note, if you haven't done the elite battle with Blue or Claire to get your S.S. Anne pass, I highly recommend doing so. Just saying. Totally worth it.

Ah, true. About bringing everyone along, though I'm sure you and I could afford to pay for the others. I will not even dignify your first reason with a response.

[There's a tiny bit of a shrug from her.]

Honestly, it wouldn't matter to me how we celebrate it. As long as we're together, that's all that matters. But this isn't a bad idea.

True but, my other point still stands even if you're not acknowledging it.

[There will be no birthday cruises. None. He refuses.]

Hehe. Well then I guess we'll play it by ear and see what happens, hm?

[Apparently she's not even replying to it this time.]

That will have to do for now, I suppose. So what would you like to do after this, hm?

[Rude, Rose.]

Hmmmmmm... Well I would like to sit up here a little while longer and watch the sunset but after that-- [John doesn't get a chance to answer what HE things they should do next because his stomach decides to speak for him. By gurgling quietly. Dinner. Dinner should definitely be what you do next.]

[John laughs sheepishly.] Well I wouldn't object to dinner?

We can sit here for as long as you'd like, my love. [She heard that tummy gurgling and it has her chuckling.]

Dinner also sounds wonderful to me. I'm starting to get a little hungry as well and I am sure these guys would like some food too.

[There's a very happy chirp from Guile at that.]

I'm pretty sure Sassacre wouldn't object to that. Would you, bud? [He looks down at the little snake, who flitters his wings and waves his tail.] Yeah, that's what I thought.

The two of you won't waste away in about twenty minutes or so, will you? Or should we leave now.

[This is, of course, half-directed as Rose as well as the Dunsparce.]

I think I'll be fine but I cannot speak for Sassacre. [She chuckles, reaching over to pat the Dunsparce's head.]

Whenever you're ready, sweetheart.
