I've been thinking. Maybe it's about time for me to try challenging that Gym Leader. I think my team is more than strong enough, even if I use Bug types against his birds, and the sooner one of us beats him, the sooner the rest of us can.

After that, we can start moving on to the next town. I've been looking forward to Goldenrod. [he grins softly] So what usually happens when a group gets ready to fight the--

Welcome to Good Oddish, home of the Good Oddish, can I take your Ord-ish?

[Hiro grimaces as the loud, cheesy, automated greeting finishes saying hello to the customer on the other end of his headset, his train of thought interrupted completely. For those watching over video, his outfit has changed completely. He's now wearing an Oddish-themed fast food uniform, complete with cheesy nametag and all. Even his everpresent headphones have been replaced with a headset, complete with leaves on either side to finish the ensemble.]

Can someone explain to me why there's even a drive-through lane here if there aren't any cars? Is the customer walking or something? [Hiro sighs.] I know I needed money, but I'm started to regret taking on such a--

[At this point, a trainer riding on a Dodrio walks up to the window Hiro has been standing next to, looking at Hiro expectantly.]

... Oh. That definitely explains it.

[..........]

Let me get your order.

[And with that, the feed cuts as Hiro gets to work. If you're IN Violet, feel free to be a customer stopping by for a snack or meal of some kind, or just to see Hiro FINALLY working! Whatever floats your boat.]

Oh, I don't think there is either, but sometimes it can be more fun to think of it that way.

But you'd have to start worrying about things like death flags.

This world still seems to run on video game logic half the time.

But you have a point about your world. Mine is quite boring in comparison.

The Sudowoodo, for example. Why can't we just go around it?

...did you get rid of all the demons yet?

It'll probably punch us or something.

I don't even want to. They're going to be my allies.

My dignity might not survive getting punched by a tree...

Allies? Are you recruit them instead of defeating them?

Right?

That was the way it was going all along. We needed them to survive. [he pauses] But I decided to kill God, remember? And the demons had been my allies - and enemies, sure - from the beginning.

...Having a demon army probably would make the god-killing part easier.

Most people won't see me as the hero when things are said and done.
