I know ya wouldn't expect it given... ya know, dat it's me but all da guys got real good mannahs. Can't be expectin' ta be a big-time Gym Leadah and run things like a pack'a monkeys right?

[Joey awkwardly steps forward to join Mai on the Dragon. If someone had told Joey this morning that he'd be riding on his Dragonite with his arms around Mai Valentine he'd have asked them to share whatever they were drinking, yet here he was. Settling-in to the nook of Baby Dragon's back behind her he was admittedly excited at the idea of what the day, let alone the future, had turned into but was undeniably terrified at the same time. Having slid into-place Joey reaches around to place his hands as normally, casually, and every other-ally way possible onto Mai's hips, continuing his internal symphony of internal screaming as he does so. Come on Joey. Keep it together! A simple commute can't be that hard difficult!]

Next stop Cherrygrove eh? Make sure ta keep it steady ok bud?

[Focusing himself on the actual process of flying, Joey gives his Pokémon a reassuring pat to let him know the time had come for lift-off.]

Guess we both get'ta cross ridin' a mythical creetcha off da bucket list eh Mai?
