Thanks! I still know so little about this place that I must be making a lot of trouble with it. Like, this whole stealing pokemon thing... I don't really get it, but I do see that it makes people unhappy so I'd love to help with that if I can! It's the best way of proving that I'm not bad like everybody thinks, too! I'm Ryou, by the way! Ryou Bakura!
