I'm still confused by it, but it sure seems so.

For all I know, maybe it's a thing here too, and it's just overshadowed by the gym battles. Maybe I'll try looking into it more if I start thinking more seriously about it as a career path. I'm really proud of all my Pokemon and I'd love to show them off. I know at least some of them would have fun with it.

The gym battles ... that's basically just challenging gym leaders with your Pokemon and trying to beat them to earn gym badges. If you beat everybody, it gives you kind of a status. I'm just not into battling, so I don't think I'd enjoy that path.

[wordsinthesoul]

It could be- it sounds as though there ought to be some manner of community for it. Perhaps it's not quite as formalised here- I imagine there would be others who'd enjoy that just as much.

So a contest of how well you and your team work together? That's well enough- if everyone did, I imagine there'd be all manner of trouble. Do you know what that status confers- entrance to restaurants, and the like, mayhap?

[crystalmaster]

Yeah. I think I will try to find out more.

It definitely brings a celebrity status, so easier access to restaurants is probably part of it.

[wordsinthesoul]

Should I hear anything, I'll pass on the word.

[He nods.] So it's that sort of influence… Quite useful in its way, I imagine. Thank you.

[crystalmaster]

Thanks!

Yeah, I'll probably have to do something similar for my restaurant. I can't deny I'd enjoy the celebrity status in some ways, but I'm happy being a Breeder.

[wordsinthesoul]

Which sounds perfectly well itself.

Perhaps someone with that sort of status visiting would help to promote it. Do you know anyone who has?

[crystalmaster]

It's fun. Sometimes overwhelming, but fun.

Yeah, I'd hope they would.

[He pauses, thinking.]

You know, I'm not sure I know who has. There's probably some of us who have, but I haven't heard about which ones they are.

[wordsinthesoul]

The younglings give you a run for your money, do they? It's good that you enjoy it.

[Thancred hums, thoughtful.]

It might reach the news at some point, I should think… I wonder. How many of us do you think have arrived here?

[crystalmaster]

It is, isn't it.

[Radley chuckles.]

Yeah, I'm sure it has. Maybe no one's succeeded in a while. It's hard to keep track of how many are here, especially since some get sent home and others come. I think there might be several dozen or more, usually. Maybe less. I have no idea how many have come altogether through the years.
