I'll keep it in mind, as anything close to my own job back home is better than nothing.

[To her, the idea of studying Pokemon anatomy and biology is worth the dredge of paperwork for a few months.]

Huh, seems like everything is driven by the economy of Pokemon battles. It still doesn't take away that feeling of being a bully after beating a kid up for money though.

[Even if her jolly little Rotom enjoyed doing that.]

The Aurora League? That's not a term I'm familiar with. How does it relate to the gym system?

[dreamsofahero]

You'll find that very nearly everything in this world revolves around Pokémon, in some form or another. And if the kid was the one who challenged you to a match, they generally know what they're potentially in for...

*some never seem to learn, but still*

The sixteen primary gyms of the various cities in Johto and Kanto--those named after the cities in which they're located--are all part of the Indigo League. This is overseen by the Elite Four and League Champion from their headquarters on the Indigo Plateau in Kanto. A number of years ago, after we otherworlders had been here for a few years, the Indigo League began allowing those who had not only successfully challenged all sixteen gyms, but also the Elite Four and Champion, to apply to potentially open their own gyms. Those are the Aurora League.

Then I wonder...

[Not one to ruin a potential companion or source of information, she shuts down and doesn't say whatever was originally on her mind. Instead, the discussion is all about gyms now.]

Otherworlders can have gyms? That's a goal to aim for, I suppose, but I was under the impression that getting the badges might send a person home.

[That's how these types of games work, right?]

Regardless, the information you've provided has been very helpful. If there is a reasonable way to pay you back, please let me know and I'll make it happen.

*Sion raises an eyebrow at that first bit, but doesn't pursue it. That other part, however, gets a chuckle*

That was certainly a common theory, long ago. Or that defeating the Elite Four would do so. However, it turns out the locals have no more an idea of how we wound up here than we do, and just as little of how to get us back.

You're quite welcome, but there's no need for repayment. Everyone is new here at some point.
