[As Joey gets ready to exclaim his willingness to help with the moves and such Mai teases him about not going a date with her and he gets even redder. Seeing her smile, Joey turns around, even more emberassed now only for her to reveal she noticed him blushing all along.]

It's not blush! It's... just cold out, so I musta gotten windburn or somethin'!

[Joey half-mumbles the last part, knowing his protestation isn't convincing anyone but still feeling the ned to do so regardless.


As his emberrasment subsides a bit Joey turns around, coming to face her in-time to be facing her when she accepts his offer to travel together.]

Dat's great! I've got some cash saved-up from workin' deliveries and hittin' da game centers so I'm happy ta put us up in places until ya got a bettah idea whatcha wanna do.

[He smiles and gives a reassuring thumbs-up.]

I've actually just stahted a run through of fightin' da different champions of dis place too, so whenever I beat one'a dem der's a decent cash prize.

[Joey reaches into his pocket and produces a little case. Opening it reveals two small badges and spaces for quite a few more.]

I just got da first two dis week, so you actually came in here right as things got real for ol' Joey. Means I'll have a lot more stuff soon, so I get'ta actually be helpful for once.

[Joey's voice trails off a bit as he says the last part, not meaning to have burnt himself as hard as he did. He bounces back quickly though, and a big smile spreads across his face.]

I'm even more excited about hitting deez Gyms den' I'd been before doe, cuz now I get'ta share da experience with you! It's gonna be awesome!
